Chapter 143


    “Ms. Houston, are you alright?”


    Derick couldn’t help but worry, silently sweating for Ann.


    Gilda had proven herself with her abilities; she was not the amateur Ann had thought her to be.


    Ann clenched her hands without a word, her eyes fixed on Gilda, as if ready to burst into mes, yet


    she managed to restrain herself.


    “I’m fine!”


    After Gilda finished her exnation, the others began to ask questions and share their thoughts.


    Gilda confidently addressed the crowd’s questions andments, supplementing her professional


    knowledge, which earned unanimous praise.


    With her performance, she taught Ann a lesson in professionalism.


    Apuse erupted, and Jensen, standing up first, admired Gilda. “Ms. Lynch, your expertise remains


    impressive! That reminds me of the old days when you worked at Harrington Corporation! I’m so


    proud.”


    As soon as these words were spoken….

    Everyone exchanged nces and began whispering to each other.


    “Gilda used to work at Harrington Corporation.”


    “Harrington Corporation has strict standards for its employees. The fact that Gilda worked there and


    excelled shows her strong capabilities.”


    “Someone who thrived at Harrington Corporation can’t be ordinary. We’ve really underestimated her.”


    “I used to think she was just a clueless shopaholic. Turns out, she has real skills.”


    As she heard the discussions, Ann felt a burning sensation on her cheeks.


    It was as if she had been pped hard.


    “How did you manage


    the nail on the head.

    Despite the numerous problems in Ann’s proposal, no one had pointed them out.


    Why?


    Ann’s heart trembled as she nced lightly at Derick nearby, who seemed indifferent. She lowered her


    eyes and humbly admitted, “I apologize for the oversight. I will make sure to revise the proposal

    Jensen seemed unsatisfied. “Ms. Houston, instead of being a hedgehog, poking anyone whoes


    near, you should focus on improving your professional skills.”


    The implication was clear.


    He was referring to Ann’s attitude towards Gilda.


    hes to refute, Ann looked at Jensen in confusion. She was surprised that despite his divorce from


    Gilda,


    protected her.


    She wondered what position her cousin, Madeleine, held in Jensen’s eyes.


    “In that case, there’s no need to continue this meeting. When Universe de Group has perfected their


    proposal, we can resume our discussion.”


    When Jackson made his statement, he clearly indicated his stance.


    As the most senior figure present, he had absolute authority. After speaking, he stood up, ready to


    leave.


    “Gilly, let’s go.”


    Gilda didn’t hesitate. Her participation in this meeting was orchestrated by Jackson, and now, with his


    lack of sincerity and the problematic presentation, it was clear they were being underestimated.


    There was no need to continue the cooperation.


    “Okay, Jackson, Gilda responded.


    With their perfect understanding, they left the meeting room one after the other.


    Derick was surprised to see their promising coboratione to an end like this. He hurried after
