Chapter 139


    As soon as she sat down, a woman in her early thirties wearing high heels walked in. She wore ck-


    framed sses, giving off a serious vibe.


    She held a stack of folders and greeted Jensen as soon as she entered, “Mr. Harrington, long time no


    see.”


    Jensen raised an eyebrow, clearly recognizing her. “Ms. Houston.”


    Ann nodded slightly but then looked at Gilda not far away, her eyes filled with sarcasm. “This must be


    Ms. Lynch.”


    Her tone was full of disdain.


    Gilda frowned. She could clearly feel the hostility from the woman in front of her.


    However, in her memory, she had no recollection of ever interacting with this woman.


    “Hello, I’m Gilda.”


    Gilda spoke politely and gracefully, but Ann remained aloof, adopting a condescending posture. “I know


    you. You’re Mr. Harrington’s ex–wife.”


    Her words caused a slight chill in the atmosphere of the spacious conference room.


    “Ms. Lynch, at such a young age, you’ve managed to be the CEO of Glory Corporation. It shows.


    remarkable ability. I’m just curious how much you understand about nanotechnology?”


    Gilda smiled politely, maintaining herposure.


    “I have a decent understanding, at least.”


    Upon hearing this, Ann felt that Gilda was nothing more than a decorative figurehead,cking any real.


    ability and relying solely on her family’s support to be CEO.


    Additionally, she had some personal grievances with Gilda.


    So when she learned that thepany intended to coborate with Glory Corporation, she volunteered


    to attend the meeting with the sole purpose of teaching Gilda a lesson.

    “Yes, Ms. Houston. I’m just here to gain some experience,” Gilda replied calmly, as if her words were of


    no effect to her, causing no ripples whatsoever.


    Ann was furious and mmed the table.


    “Gaining experience? Can you afford to be so casual? Are we just a game to you? Or do

    “You must be joking, Ms. Houston!” a timely male voice rang out. Immediately after, the meeting room


    door opened, and Jackson, dressed in a dark handmade suit, appeared.


    Ann was stunned.


    She knew Jackson, the mysterious CEO of ML. Group.


    “Mr. Moore!” As soon as she spoke, all the authority she had when facing Gilda vanished. Her


    arrogance disappeared in an instant. Apparently, she would change her attitude in front of different


    people.


    Without ncing at anyone, Jackson walked up to Gilda, pulled out a chair, and sat down, crossing his


    legs in a casual manner. He then spoke, “Ms. Houston, your words are profound. However, Ms. Lynch


    is here at my invitation. Regarding yourpany’s project, ML Group fully supports Glory Corporation.


    Or does Ms. Houston believe I’m not qualified?”


    Jackson’s words clearly showed his support for Gilda, leaving no room for doubt.


    Ann didn’t dare to keep up the act, and she promptly denied it.


    “Mr. Moore, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that.”


    “What did you mean, then?” Jackson didn’t back down.


    Ann never expected that Gilda would get along so well with Jackson. His strong defense of her


    indicated a significant connection between them.


    But wasn’t she just divorced from Jensen?
