Daniel didn't get the full story from Sienna; instead, he went to her company to speak with Harvey. From him, Daniel learned all the details and took Sienna's book home.

For the first time, he discovered Sienna's pen name and the genre she wrote in. A man who had never read a romance novel before, Daniel hid in his room, secretly reading her words.

In Sienna's book, the male protagonist bore a striking resemblance to him. He spent an entire day and night without sleep, reading the book that had been plagiarized-over two hundred thousand words, neither too long nor too short.

The ending was tragically poignant, with the main characters going their separate ways, leaving a lifetime of regret. The story moved him to tears multiple times, his chest heavy with emotion.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

It was the serene morning of Mila's wedding eve when Sienna woke up early to accompany Mila back to Hoffis Manor. As she opened the door, she was startled to see Daniel standing there motionless. Looking at him, she asked, "Is there something you need?"

Daniel raised his hand and handed her the book. Upon seeing her own book, Sienna's reaction was intense. She snatched it from his hand, exasperated. "Why did you read my book?"

"Isn't it meant to be read?" Daniel replied calmly.

Sienna was at a loss for words, feeling a mix of discomfort and embarrassment. It wasn't anger but something more awkward.

"I finished it," Daniel said softly.

Sienna's cheeks flushed. She lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze, feeling as if she had been caught doing something shameful. This book was fine, but if he had read her previous one, she would've been utterly mortified.

"You should sue the author," Daniel said firmly. "You can win."

Sienna looked at him, bewildered.

Harvey had assured her that she would lose the case. Despite her anger and determination to fight, she had no confidence in winning. Why was Daniel so certain?

"It's not as simple as you think," Sienna replied.

"I'll help you."

"I don't need your help. Don't abuse your power," Sienna rejected outright.

She knew that Daniel could

undoubtedly resolve this issue. He had power in the city and was well-connected with judges and officials. There was also Nathan's national status, not to mention the influence of the Morrison family. Even so, she didn't want to use those means.

"Abuse my power?" Daniel raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.

"How else would you help me?" Sienna questioned.

"The internet leaves traces." Daniel had no idea how to explain to Sienna, so he resorted to simpler terms. "From the moment you typed the first word of your book on your laptop, it left a trail. The best

network engineers can trace it. Their

proof is legally valid."

Upon seeing her surprise, Daniel's expression softened, and he smiled gently. "Having an engineer in court to examine the other party's computer can reveal the source of the stolen material."

Sienna stared at him in shock.

"Is it really that simple?" Sienna asked, incredulous.

"Yes, but these network engineers

are not easily accessible. They are top talents, usually working in crucial national Coles," Daniel patiently explained. "For example, adjusting missile data, preventing foreign hackers, and national cybersecurity research."

Sienna felt a heaviness in her heart as she looked at Daniel's slightly reddened eyes. Had he stayed up all night, or had he been crying? Why were his eyes red? Sienna saw a glimmer of hope and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
