Lily Lee's eyes involuntarily narrowed, her pupils contracted, her face twisted slightly.
However, Lily Lee continued to smile, masking her turbulent emotions, and strived to appear calm.
"I'll deal with my own affairs. No need to bother, Chief Daniel Marshall. I must be going now!"
Lily Lee got up, her expression changing rapidly, seemingly infused with an element of mockery.
Her departure was not panicky; she maintained her grace and elegance. But the haste of her turn gave away her emotions.
Daniel Marshall's eyes remained sharply probing as if piercing through everything, yet his handsome face revealed no emotion, leaving others guessing.
...
Back in the car, Lily Lee immediately made an international call.
"Mother, our plan has been exposed. Daniel Marshall showed me a photograph of you holding a little boy. He asked me to pass you a message - if you want your son to be safe and sound, don't play tricks on him. He won't spare your son."
