Just then, President Jacobs's voice echoed in the box: "I've heard everything clearly and I understand it all, many thanks to you, Chief Daniel Marshall."
Without blinking, Daniel Marshall's hawk-like eyes were fixed on Lily Lee. The unfathomable depth in his gaze made Lily feel apprehensive, "President Jacobs, no need to thank me! You can come in now, I'll wait for you in the box."
President Jacobs promptly responded, "I'm on my way immediately."
Lily Lee, after all, was experienced; even though many emotions were churning inside her, she maintained her calm demeanor, her impassive face staring at Daniel as if nothing had happened.
Lily Lee could not have imagined being out manoeuvred by Daniel Marshall. No wonder her mother had repeatedly warned her to be cautious around him. This man was not only profound, concealing any of his emotions, but also cunning. This was her shortcoming, and she had certainly underestimated him.
