Lydia said nervously, “Lacey, I'm so sorry. I just don't wish to own Linton Group anymore.”
Lacey was curious. “Why did you change your mind so quickly?”
Lydia let out a sigh and said, “It's really nothing. I just don't want it. That's all. One shop is more than enough to
keep me busy. If I take over Linton Group, it will be too much for me to handle.”
“Lydia, how about this? I can tell you really want to own Linton Group. What do you think if I give Linton Group to
you free of charge?”
If Lydia turns me down again, something must be terribly wrong.
Lydia hesitated before saying in a low voice, “Lacey, I want it, but... Ah, I might as well tell you the truth. Do you
know Daisy, the CEO of Eminent Group?”
Lacey nodded. “I do. What's wrong?”
Lydia went on to explain, “Eminent Group warns us not to touch Linton Group. If not, they will make sure we go

There's no way they can do anything to us. But to my surprise, they made a call right in front of me. Immediately,
the shares of my company fell by forty percent. Eminent Group is a ruthless company. A terrible end awaits anyone
who dares to go against them.”
Lacey could not help but inhale sharply when she heard that information.
Just one phone call was enough to make the shares of a listed company fall by forty percent. Eminent Group must
have the backing of the government as well.
Eminent Group is indeed extraordinary.
No wonder Daisy is so confident.
“I understand. Lydia, thank you for your reminder,” said Lacey.
Lydia consoled her, “Lacey, it's best that you give Linton Group up. Your peace of mind is more important than
money. Don't worry. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I can't guarantee that I can make you very
wealthy. But at the very least, it will be sufficient for you to live a comfortable life.”
“Thank you, Lydia. I'll give your suggestion serious consideration.”
After she ended the call, Lacey stared at Daisy and said, “Ms. Daisy, you must be behind these. Haha! Seems that
you're more despicable than I thought.”
Daisy was indifferent. “Thank you for the compliment.”
“Ms. Daisy, don't even think about buying Linton Group for fifty million. Please leave. I still have work to attend to.”
With a slight smile, Daisy asked, “Are you sure?”
Lacey replied, “Of course.”
“I think you should reconsider.”
“There's nothing for me to consider. I know you are very powerful, but Linton Group is my personal asset. Even God
cannot force me to do anything I don't want to with my personal asset.”
Fine.

Daisy snapped her fingers.
Very soon, a pot-bellied man walked in.
When Lacey and Nancy saw who it was, they were quite taken aback.
Isn't this their supplier in the past? What is Mr. Wheeler doing here?
When Dave Wheeler walked in, he did not greet Lacey. Instead, he bowed to Daisy and said, “Ms. Daisy, what a
coincidence to bump into you here.”
Daisy smiled and responded, “That's right. Mr. Wheeler, what are you doing here?”
Dave replied, “I'm here to collect my payment, of course.”
“In that case, I won't get in your way, Mr. Wheeler,” said Daisy.
Dave looked at Lacey and Nancy coldly. “Good morning, Ms. Hinton.”
Lacey asked, “Mr. Wheeler, what are you doing here so early in my office?”
Dave answered, “My company is in need of some funds, so I have come to collect my payment.”
