Chapter 1503


    James said, “I need to trade the secret of the Four Ancient Paintings in exchange for the Lee family’s wealth.”


    “Leave everything to me. | will head over to the Lees’ residence with the Four Ancient Paintings and bargain with Xavi. You


    simply have to take over their fortunes.” After saying that, Thomas stood up and left.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Grandpa, wait!” James shouted.


    However, Thomas was gone without a trace.


    James sighed.


    “By the way...”


    Quincy asked, “Can we get Xiomara over to our side?”


    “Huh?”


    James looked at Quincy.


    Quincy said, “I desperately need a few assistants. Xiomara ispetent. My workload will be much more manageable if she


    stays. Besides, she knows more about the situation in the Capital than me, so | believe that she’s more suitable than | am to deal


    with this.”


    Upon hearing this, James looked at Maxine and said, “Give Yasmine a call and exin the situation to her.”


    “Got it.”


    Maxine pulled her phone out and called Yasmine. “Yasmine, everything’s resolved on our side. Thomas has agreed to your


    terms. He’s now on his way to the Lees’ residence with the Four Ancient Paintings to negotiate with Xavi. However, we have a


    tiny request we''d like to make.”


    After hearing this, Yasmine was delighted. She hurriedly said, “Feel free to speak your mind.”


    Maxine said, “Oh, it’s nothing big. We would like Xiomara to stay after the negotiations. After all, she’s the one in charge of these


    businesses in the first ce. After James receives the Lee family’s fortune, she''ll continue to manage these businesses for him.


    How does that sound?”


    “Uhm...”


    Yasmine was in a bind.


    Based on what Xavi said, every single member of the Lee family would be leaving the Capital. By leaving Xiomara alone behind,


    it would be tantamount to announcing to the world that the Lee family was on James’ side. If James lost the power struggle, the


    consequences would be dire for the Lees.


    “Maxine, | can’t make the decision alone. | have to consult the Grand Patriarch first.”


    “| await your good news.”


    After the brief conversation, Maxine hung up the phone. Then, he looked at James and said, “You heard her. Yasmine can’t make


    the decision herself. She will first have to consult Xavi.”


    Quincy said, “It’s fine even if it doesn’t work out. We just need to get our hands on the Lee family’s fortune. With their wealth, we


    can speed up our development. However, we need to further bind our interests with the others.”


    “| know. | will find Delh’s father as soon as possible and sign a cooperation agreement with him.”


    They waited patiently.


    Half an hourter, Yasmine called. She told them that Xavi had agreed to James’ demand. Xiomara would remain in the Capital


    and continue to manage the businesses.


    After resolving the matter, James breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he just had to wait for the negotiations to bepleted after


    Xavi finished viewing the Four Ancient Paintings.


    As for the Moonlit Flowers on


    Cliffside’s Edge, James could not


    care less. Since Thoma Sait that he

    residence with the Four Ancient


    Paintings, he must have obtained the

    For the next few days, James did nothing. Every force in the Capital watched him closely.


    After three days had passed, the Lee family contacted James and allowed him to take over their family businesses. James


    simply delegated Quincy and Maxine to manage them in his stead.


    At night, three dayster...


    Diney suddenly appeared in Thea’s house and said, “James, | have news.”
