Chapter 140
Getting involved with Jackson shows her capability. No wonder Madeleine said
Gilda intervened in her and Jensen's relationship.
Ann thought, “It seems Madeleine was right; this woman is not easy to deal with.
Understanding this, even though Ann was reluctant, she still lowered herself and
quickly apologized, “I'm sorry, Mr. Moore, I misspoke. Please forgive me.”
Jackson responded, “Ms. Houston, your apology should be directed elsewhere.”
Ann was dumbfounded.
She thought, “Apologize to Gilda? That is absolutely impossible!”
If it weren't for Gilda, her uncle's family wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and her
cousin Madeleine wouldn't have been imprisoned! Her intention was just to teach
Gilda a lesson.
“Mr. Moore, I...
Jackson's face turned cold, and he rhythmically tapped the table with his fingers,
creating an invisible. pressure in the large conference room.
Jackson's patience was limited.
Seeing her hesitation to apologize, he stood up and straightened his jacket, “In
that case, there's no need to discuss today’s cooperation. ML Group doesn't lack
this project.”
“No!” Ann hurriedly stopped him.
The company attached great importance to the new nanotechnology project,
investing several billion in it. If she ruined it, she would lose her job.
“I'm sorry, Ms. Lynch!”
Four simple words were all Ann could muster. She couldn't afford to lose her job.
Gilda wasn't forgiving by nature, but considering the importance of the project to
both companies, losing it over Ann would be a greater loss.
“It's okay, Ms. Houston!”
Gilda said, then glanced at Jackson. For some reason, at that moment, she felt
reassured by his support.
Jensen had wanted to speak up for Gilda, but he was too late. Seeing her being
protected by Jackson, he felt deeply uncomfortable.
It felt like something that belonged to him had suddenly been taken away, leaving
him with a hollow
feeling inside.
His assistant Lanny, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel nervous for
Jensen.
For some reason, he had a premonition.
It seemed like things between Jensen and Gilda would never be the same again.
“Sorry for the delay, everyone. I just finished a meeting and rushed over here,”
said Derick Lee from Universe Blade Group, looking apologetic due to his late
arrival.
Jensen, with a cold expression, replied first, “No problem, Mr. Lee.”

Jackson nodded, and Derick took his seat.
Ann noticed how respectfully her boss treated Jackson compared to Jensen, and
her surprise grew...
She knew ML Group had a strong background and Jackson's origins were
impressive, but she hadn't expected Derick to be so deferential.
