CHAPTER 63 Something That Could Ruin Me

  The message was a set of explicit photos—of me.

  This was what Daniel meant by something that could destroy me.

  Judging by the background, the photos were taken in the bathroom of Daniel's home. That's why the door had been ajar that night after I showered.

  The realization sent chills down my spine.

  Daniel hadn't just used these photos to threaten Lucas into dropping the investigation into my defamation. Now he was also demanding an outrageous sum—50 million.

  I glanced at the bathroom door. The sound of running water hadn't stopped yet.

  After a moment of thought, I hastily replied to the message:

  "Tomorrow at 10 a.m., N&LO Restaurant."

  Then, I quickly took screenshots of everything and sent them to my phone before deleting all traces from Lucas's device.

  Hearing the water stop, I set the phone back where I found it just as the bathroom door opened.

  Lucas emerged, towel drying his hair.
