Female Novel
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.
Meanwhile, Yasmine was lost in thought.
Maxine left the Lees and headed straight back to the Cadens.
By the time she arrived, Thea was already waiting in the living room.
After arriving at the Cadens, Thea now knew that Maxine was the family head of the household.
“Thea.”
Maxine walked over to her with a smile, “Why are you here? By the way, where’s James? How are his
injuries?”
Even though there was bad blood between the two, Thea could only smile when faced with Maxine’s
friendliness. And so, she forced a smile, “Thank you for your concern. James’ injuries have recovered.
Now, he’s currently in closed-door meditation in Cansington, absorbing and refining the Spirit Turtle’s
core. It should take around a month or two.”
“That’s great.” Hearing that James’ injuries had recovered, Maxine was at ease. “By the way, you came
to the Capital way earlier than expected. Did something happen?”

“I see.” Maxine took a seat. “All this while, I’ve been watching the situation closely. However, I’ve heard
nothing about the various sects and families. Even the powerful grandmasters have disappeared
without a trace.”
Hearing this, Thea furrowed her eyebrows, “The calmer the situation now, the stronger the waves will
be. Once the powerful grandmasters have refined the Spirit Turtle’s core, they will surely make a
move.”

Looking at Thea, Maxine asked, “What do you plan to do, then?”
“Maxine, you’re now the family head of the Cadens. However, many in your household are against your
rule. You have to unite them all as soon as possible in order to suppress the other sects and families of
the ancient martial world.”

“Then disappear,” Thea said coldly.
Maxine froze.
The current Thea seemed to have changed.
