Chapter 724: 724: Interesting the Power Behind the Scenes

Daniel Marshall finished his glass of red wine and continued, his gaze deep and penetrating, “It seems that President Lily Lee has more than a passing curiosity about me, and even about the lowly staff at the Marshall Corporation!”

Lily Lee narrowed her beautiful eyes, chuckling lightly, “What do you mean, Chief Marshall? Can you please clarify?”

Marshall’s voice was icy and indifferent, “Grace Ziegler was once my secretary. You’ve taken a keen interest in her. If you hope to understand me through her, it might be better for you to ask me directly today. Whatever President Lily Lee is interested in, I can answer you directly, I hope you wouldn’t scare the lowly staff of Marshall Corporation.”

“Grace Ziegler?” Lily Lee feigned surprise, her eyes wide.

After a moment’s thought, Lily apparently remembered something. She furrowed her brow, her eyes narrowing, “Oh, now I remember. She was that young girl, did I scare her? Did she mention me to you?

Last time, at the golf club, I had no one to accompany me while playing. So, I invited her to join me seeing she was free. When it came time to eat, I invited her for a meal as a thank you for her kindness.”

Pausing for a moment, Lily Lee continued, her sly gaze on Daniel full of intriguing speculation, “Chief Daniel, you seem to have a good relationship with her, you really care about her, don’t you? Did you think I had bad intentions towards her? God, how could you think that? That’s simply unbelievable!”

The woman in front of him was too good at playing innocent. Daniel Marshall stared at Lily Lee’s sharp gaze, with undisguised contempt and mockery. He spoke slowly, “Indeed, it’s incredible, I can’t help but suspect that you’re doing it on purpose and that you’re after me with some hidden agenda.

In fact, you’re not even particularly interested in Prosperity Square Technology. I still can’t figure out what would make you risk so much, disregarding your own reputation.”

Lily Lee did not flinch, she remained poised and calm as she look back into Daniel’s gaze.

She continued to study Daniel, completely unprepared for his upfront confrontation. The overwhelming pressure hit her like a sudden tidal wave.

Her involuntary blink gave away her emotional turmoil.

“Chief Daniel, you really have a wild imagination! Truth be told, I’m quite disappointed to have been suspected and speculated upon like this!”

Daniel’s firm features radiated an intimidating aura, his eyes filled with mockery, “You might be disappointed in me, but the person behind you is not. I think they have high hopes for you.”

Spreading her hands indifferently, Lily Lee laughed lightly, “So, there is no chance of me having a meal with Chief Daniel again? Are you always guarding against me? Is the intimidating figure of the venture capital world really so fearful of a woman who is not even worthy to be his opponent? Is the mighty Daniel Marshall also capable of fear?”

Daniel’s eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, burst with an intense cold, “President Lily, I don’t even consider you seriously, I have no need to fear you. I’m interested in the person pulling the strings behind you.

Is this person or group overseas? What is your relationship with them? Is Prosperity Square Technology just a pawn to you? Tyson Capital never intended to invest in Prosperity Square Technology. What do you think President Jacobs would do if he knew he has been played by you?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lily Lee responded, her expression unchanging, “If you want financing, you have to show real potential. Regardless of who that might be, if there’s potential, I will invest. But President Jacobs is not interested in Tyson Capital, so there’s never been any talk of collaboration.”

Daniel’s eyes were full of uncertainty, “President Jacobs, did you hear that?”
