Chapter 2378
Daisy breathed in deeply. The heavy weight that was bearing down on her chest did not seem so
burdensome anymore.
She was thankful that the personal grudges were resolved, for her body was too weak to take another
major blow.
Steadying herself against the wall, Daisy took quite an effort to get up. She nced at Zeke and said,
“All right. I canpensate for yourpany''s losses. That will only amount to twenty million, tops.
Before Ipensate you, however, aren''t you going to pay off the penalty fee to the suppliers first?”
Daisy then threw a look at the suppliers.
A few suppliers mustered some courage and voiced out their concerns. “Mr. Williams, you promised to
pay us the penalty fee yesterday. Please honor your words.”

“Yes. One''s reputation is of utmost importance in business. Once it is tainted, and you disy no
integrity, you will not go far in business.”
Zeke was calm andposed. “Don''t worry. I will pay the penalty fee. Of course, I will have to reiterate
my words yesterday. It depends greatly on your capabilities if you can take away the penalty fee.”
The suppliersughed.
“We have the agreement in our hands. It is our right to im the penalty fee. Why can''t we take it?”
“Do you think the penalty fee is too much and we won''t be able to take that much cash with us? Don''t
worry. We''ve brought a truck over for this very purpose.”
Zeke ignored the group''s snidements and snapped his fingers.
The group was puzzled by his move.
Right then, somebody in the group shouted, “Look! It''s Mr. Wayne from Redwood Capital!”
Everyone turned their attention to the direction of the voice.
A slightly plump figure staggered his way into Linton Group.
He was none other than the head of the investment department of Redwood Capital, Lenard Wayne.
Lenard had been beaten up severely yesterday. Hence, he still could not walk straight and had to rely
on canes as he hobbled around.
At the sight of Zeke, he shuddered in response and hurriedly averted his gaze.
Zeke had left an indelible impression on him.
Everyone was befuddled by Lenard''s presence.
What''s going on? Did Lenard just show up after Zeke snaps his fingers? Did Zeke summon him? Did
Zeke really convince Redwood Capital to invest? Is Linton Group going to rise against the odds?
A myriad of notions fleeted across everyone''s minds.
Lacey was exhrated by the turn of events as she asked, “Zeke, did you really invite Mr. Wayne
here?”
The four suppliers who were rooting for Zeke also cast him expectant nces.
Zeke shook his head.
Inviting him? More like instructing him toe here.
Zeke would not deign to invite a man of lower station. Then again, Lacey and the others were oblivious
to his thoughts.
They assumed Zeke was denying that he had invited Lenard over.
Daisy was likewise baffled by Lenard''s presence.
She cast a nce at Zeke as her heart started to beat frantically again.
D*mn it. Does Zeke know Lenard? Has Lenard been tricked by Zeke? I''m going to be d*mned if that''s
the case.
She endured the numbing pain all over her body and stood up to approach Lenard.
“Mr. Wayne, what brings you here?” Daisy asked respectfully.
Lenard smiled and nodded. “I''m here to look for someone.”
“Oh? Who are you looking for? I might be able to help you out.”
Lenard scanned the crowd and said, “Who is the person in charge of Linton Group around here?”
Daisy felt her heart almost leaping out of her chest.
She never expected him to look for the person in charge of Linton Group!
Is he really going to invest in Linton Group?
“Mr. Wayne, have you changed your mind about investing in Linton Group now that you''re looking for
the person in charge?” Daisy hurriedly asked.
“No, I am not investing in Linton Group,” Lenard said as he shook his head.
Daisy heaved a sigh of relief at his reply.
Phew. That''s good as long as he is not here to invest in Linton Group. Then... why is he here?
