Chapter 1307
“Oh? Cooperation?”
Yasmine Lee, Matriarch of the Lees glanced at Maxine and smirked, “How do you plan to cooperate with us?”
Maxine said, “The Ancient Four should technically be secluded from the outside world, but the fact of the matter is we are all involved in business dealings with the outside world. As far as I know, the Lees’ businesses have been making losses recently. Although the risk of bankruptcy is minimal, it’s apparent that your businesses are currently facing a liquidity crunch.”
“Hmph!” Yasmine smiled slightly. “The Lees have never concerned ourselves with the business dealings with the outside world. Besides, we’re not short of money. We have accumulated a great fortune over the past few years. Even if all of our businesses go bankrupt, we can still survive for centuries.”
At that moment, Maxine’s phone rang.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Maxine pulled out her phone and walked somewhere else. Seeing that it was Thea who called, she murmured, “What’s wrong, Thea? Did something happen?”
“Maxine, I’m now in the Capital. I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”
“Alright, wait for me at the Cadens. I’m still busy with something outside. I’ll come to find you once everything’s settled.”
“Sure.”
After a brief conversation, Maxine hung up the phone.
Then, she walked over to Yasmine, took a seat, and glanced at her. “Since you have no intention to cooperate with us, I’ll take my leave now.”
Then, she stood up and prepared to leave.
After walking a few steps, she stopped. Then, she put a business card on the table and said, “If you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime. The reason why the King is intimidated by the Ancient Four is because of our complete control of the economic lifeline of Sol, not just our raw strength alone.”
She paused momentarily before continuing, “Perhaps you’re unconcerned with the businesses of the Lees in the outside world. However, for the past year, problems have been arising much more frequently than before. Do you think that it’s due to poor management of the businesses? I’d say otherwise. The King must have been the one behind this. He doesn’t wish for Sol to be controlled by grandmasters.”
Once she said that, she turned to leave.
