465 A Slow- Acting Poison

After Isaac Lee did the press conference, he immediately asked his personal assistant to release some bits and pieces of clues that will lead the media to Zhou Dae Un and the Zhou Enterprises.

"Director… it seems that your plan is working," his assistant, Ron Liang beamed, an unfathomable expression flashed in his eyes. "The Director is indeed the wisest."

"Of course," Isaac leaned on his chair and chuckled. He drummed his fingers on the mahogany table. "Now that the meeting is set, all I can do is continue feeding the media some updates about it. To continue gaining their sympathy." He laughed. Now that Zhou Jingren agreed to see him the very next day, Isaac felt that his plans are coming into fruition.

"Lily being alive is unexpected. We also never expected that they would find her so soon. Because of this, we received tons of problems as Mr. Arison was not able to deliver the medicines and pieces of equipment that he promised." Ron said. He shook his head and watched as the old man's face turned ugly.

"This was all Lily's fault. Why can't she just die and disappear in the face of the earth? She is just…. Too manipulative for my grandson. She is just like the female version of that crazy Zhou Kang. Sooner or later, she will completely dominate my grandson and take over his properties."

"That woman is like a slow-acting poison. She is deadly. And the worst thing about her is you won't even realize that she is already eating your insides until you are already dying." Old Man Lee added. "Until you are already bleeding to your death."

"Speaking of which… your niece, Demi… how is she handling the company? Have you talked to her father yet?"

Ron shook his head in response. "I have not talked to her father as he was still attending a conference abroad. However, she is doing great. Her internship is doing well. She is smart and business-minded. Loyal and beautiful. I can only hope that…"

"Ah… he will like her. Once he sees me — I will show him the difference between his dominant woman and a woman that perfectly fits to become his wife. He grew up in an orphanage after all. It is only understandable that his beliefs are screwed."

"Hmmm." His secretary nodded. "I can only hope that he will realize how marrying into the right woman would help him get closer to you. Moreover, he is your heir. He should live his life the way you wanted him too."

"Ah… to be honest, I am still upset about what happened at the airport." Ron added. "How could he disrespect you like that? You already told him that you are sick. A normal man would show some signs of sadness and sympathy." Ron added, his wizened face contorted as he watched Isaac frowned at his words.

"I believe that was the time when he was about to rescue that wife of his." Isaac sneered. "If only I could get rid of that woman." He gritted his teeth as he remembered his last encounter with Lily. A woman is not supposed to act that mighty and proud. A woman is supposed to become someone's wife, take care of the kids, and prioritize her husband.

Isaac believed that the perfect woman is not only beautiful and smart but also capable of doing all these. She should sacrifice for her family and spend the rest of her life building a family with her husband.

This should have been his daughter's future. She should have stayed at home after marrying Zhou Kang as Zhou Kang's father and Isaac planned on how to eliminate Zhou Wu Ye and his family.

"Once Zhou Jingren realized that Lily is too domineering for him, he will soon leave her and marry Demi," Isaac said. "And once that happens, Lee Group's Hospitals and Liang Meds will become one."

Ron nodded, his eyes seemed to sparkle as he thought of the possibility of his brother's pharmaceutical company and Lee Group's Hospital merging into one. "Well…"

His words were interrupted when someone knocked on Isaac Lee's office.

"Director… Zhou Capital just sent the time and place for the meeting. Apparently, they will come and visit Singapore just to meet you." Demi Liang had been acting as Ron Liang's assistant secretary for a few weeks now. At this point, she could already do her job perfectly. She eyed her uncle and the director before she added, "Also, they declined our generous offer to let them stay in one of the suites in our affiliate hotel. They insisted that they take care of their own place to stay."

"Hmmm… Alright." Isaac Lee gestured for the beautiful woman to approach him. He then handed her a black sleek card. "Use this. You are done working for the day. I know you could easily afford to buy new clothes, but this one is on me. I want you to look as beautiful as possible for tomorrow's dinner."

Demi's almond eyes stared at the black card, her face started to turn red. "Thank you Director, but it's alright. I also have a black card from my father so…"

"I insist." He gave her an assuring smile. However, Demi still shook her head.

"My apologies, Director. I cannot accept the card. I will use my own card for my dress and makeup tomorrow. After all, it is also my father's idea that I get close to your grandson for both of our companies. It is only just that I spend my own money for myself."

"Hah. What a virtuous woman." Isaac laughed as he shifted his gaze towards his old friend and assistant, Ron. "Do you see that? This is how a woman should act. Calm, collected, soft-spoken, and absolutely not a gold digger." He nodded in approval. "Good… Very Good. I understand what you are trying to say. Now… I want you to prepare yourself. I want my grandson to see the type of woman that he should spend the rest of his life with."
