Female Novel
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. Yousimply have to take over their fortunes.” After saying that, Thomas stood up and left.
“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 is competent. My workload will be much more manageable if shestays. Besides, she knows more about the situation in the Capital than me, so | believe that she’s more suitable than | am to dealwith this.”
Upon hearing this, James looked at Maxine and said, “Give Yasmine a call and explain 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 yourterms. He’s now on his way to the Lees’ residence with the Four Ancient Paintings to negotiate with Xavi. However, we have atiny 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 thesebusinesses in the first place. 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, theconsequences 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 makethe 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, wecan speed up our development. However, we need to further bind our interests with the others.”
“| know. | will find Delilah’s father as soon as possible and sign a cooperation agreement with him.”They waited patiently.
Half an hour later, Yasmine called. She told them that Xavi had agreed to James’ demand. Xiomara would remain in the Capitaland 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 be completed afterXavi finished viewing the Four Ancient Paintings.
As for the Moonlit Flowers onCliffside’s Edge, James could notcare less. Since Thoma Sait that heweyicanenanber the Lees’residence with the Four AncientPaintings, he must have obtained theMoonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edgeand the 18-meridian diagram.

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. Jamessimply delegated Quincy and Maxine to manage them in his stead.
At night, three days later...Delainey suddenly appeared in Thea’s house and said, “James, | have news.”James said eagerly, “Speak.”
