Merlin's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. Tears were about to fall at any second. She looked upset and resentful. She pleaded with her father,
"Dad, I'm so upset I'm about to cry. Could you help me just once and let me vent my anger?"
When Max heard this, his eyes narrowed and he looked sharply at Su Jin with similar displeasure. But when he remembered that she was Xi Chenxiao's wife, he let out a slow breath and said calmly,
"My dear daughter, you have to know that she's Madam Xi. I can't let you do that, not yet."
Merlin snorted coldly. She had never been humiliated like this all her life. And her father was going to ignore her now... Merlin was so angry that she could only turn around, not wanting to see the two people onstage. When Max saw that his daughter was so angry, he coaxed quickly,
"Alright, Merlin, the Xi Corporation wants to collaborate with us. However, for your sake, I shall turn them down. Don't be angry, okay?"
