Chapter 726: Going Separate Ways

“Women’s words are just as deceptive as a ghost’s! Chief Daniel Marshall, you better be careful.” President Jacobs didn’t care about Lily Lee’s glare and casually continued to eat his meal, even proactively toasting Daniel Marshall with a glass of red wine.

Daniel held his goblet in a poised manner, toasted towards President Jacobs, then lightly sipped a few mouthfuls of wine.

Daniel glanced over at Lily Lee with a cold stare, “Everybody knows what’s going on, President Lily Lee, don’t say too much of the wrong things, otherwise, it will just look bad.”

The two men seemed to be deliberately excluding her. Lily Lee was furious internally but didn’t show it on her face. She maintained a smile, cordially making polite conversation: “Regardless of Chief Daniel Marshall’s suspicions, I still want to befriend someone like you and hope to have the chance of cooperation in the future.”

A sharp and cold gleam passed over Daniel’s handsome face.

Suddenly, he stood up, “You two carry on, I have matters to attend to, and I’ll be leaving first. I’ve already paid the bill, you’re welcome to continue eating.”

Casting a meaningful glance at President Jacobs, Daniel strode out of the private room with immense pride.

Daniel knew very well, Lily Lee was also shrewd. She would not reveal the puppeteer behind the scenes. Let her and Jacobs have a dog fight then.

…

After Daniel left, the atmosphere in the room cooled instantly.

The expression on President Jacobs’ face darkened immediately, his eyes radiating a violent glint as he stared menacingly at Lily Lee.

“Backstabbing me while pretending to help, is this your idea of assistance, President Lee? This is the first time I’ve encountered such a disgusting woman, it’s unbelievable!”

After Daniel left, Lily Lee stopped acting, her face filled with cold indifference. She defied President Jacobs arrogantly, “One would benefit from self-awareness, which sadly, you lack. As you’ve heard, Prosperity Square Technology isn’t even qualified to be a pawn in my game, they don’t pique my interest.”

President Jacobs stood up, pointing at Lily Lee and yelling, “You are a despicable and shameless woman, karma will catch you soon!”

Lily Lee also stood up, laughing coldly. She scornfully mocked President Jacobs, “You should evaluate yourself first before dreaming about flying from a simple dinner invitation. That’s overestimating your abilities.”

After dropping this statement, Lily Lee left the private room arrogantly.

President Jacobs was furious, but he didn’t storm out.

He sat back down and continued eating the meal before him.

At this moment, President Jacobs deeply regretted his initial blindness, for heeding this woman’s instigation.

Let’s see what happens. If Prosperity Square Technology crumbles, he wouldn’t spare this despicable woman.

…

Upon returning to her hotel room, Lily Lee immediately made an international long-distance call.

“Mom, Daniel suspects me, I am afraid that he is watching my every move.”

The woman on the other end of the call responded calmly, “It’s okay, just carry on as usual.”

There was a flicker of darker depth in Lily Lee’s eyes, “Daniel must have arranged for people to investigate me. During dinner, he questioned me about many things, I’m afraid he might trace it back to you.”

“Let him investigate as he pleases, I don’t have anything to hide. As long as we can separate Daniel and his wife, our goal will be achieved. Recently, avoid contacting his secretary, women’s ambitions can be terrifying. To satiate this, they might stop at nothing.”

Since the secretary has already caught Daniel’s attention, that means she still has a chance. She will surely attempt to make a comeback and cause a lot of disturbances in the Marshall family.”

“Alright, I will immediately cancel my ticket to Binzhou. I will deliberately keep a distance from her and occasionally put some pressure on Daniel. It seems that he genuinely cares for his secretary.”
