"Fine, I'll help you this one time. But if it doesn't work, promise me you won't do something this foolish again." Daniel looked at Gwen sternly and continued, "Were you completely drunk at home yesterday? In the end, it was the maids who cleaned up your mess." Daniel despised a lack of self-control more than anything else. Gwen's father had endured countless scoldings from him as he taught him the consequences of blindly pursuing profits in business. Especially with their connections to this secret organization, they had to be

even more cautious.

That was also why Daniel had never approved of Gwen's father, Lee Zimmer. If he could not smooth out his rough edges and resolve the issues he left behind over a decade ago, he would surely encounter even bigger problems in the future.

On the contrary, Daniel's admiration for Linus was justified. He knew that Linus had forbearance, self-restraint, and outstanding abilities-an ideal candidate for the leader of Spades.

Gwen's relentless persuasion finally wore down Daniel's resistance, and he reluctantly agreed, much to Gwen's delight.
