Chapter 500 Distinct Treatment


    "I know that many people want to see me make a fool of myself. But the reason I reached where I


    am today isn''t solely due to this pretty face of mine."


    Jessica raised her gaze slightly, speaking with a hint of arrogance.


    "Without some real ability, I won''t be able to establish myself in this circle. Besides, even if I fall,


    don''t I have to climb to a high ce first?


    "Instead of being concerned about me, why not focus on yourself, Ms. Lewis? I heard you made a


    bet with your board of directors."


    Grace raised an eyebrow, unbothered. "You''re indeed well-informed, Ms. Landon. That''s true."


    Jessica nodded and became even more triumphant.


    "I initially thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out it''s true. I heard the deadline for the bet is


    approaching, and you don''t seem to have much chance of winning.


    "Will the daughter of the world''s richest family end up being kicked out of her ownpany?"


    Jessica covered her mouth and chuckled. "That would be quite embarrassing."


    With these words, the people around her joined in,ughing. Most of them were looking forward to


    the spectacle.


    However, Grace remained unaffected by her words. She was calm as usual. "I don''t need you to


    worry about me, Ms. Landon."


    Jessica nodded knowingly. "True. It has nothing to do with me. Still, I wish you good luck. If you''re


    truly kicked out of the board, it would be really embarrassing."


    Grace''s eyes darkened. At the same time, a determination grew within her not to let such a petty


    person witness her humiliation.


    "Ms. Landon, Mr. Barnes ising over," Jessica''s assistant whispered.


    Jessica quickly shifted her gaze and asked, "Where is he?"


    She hade here today after hearing about the nanorobots project that Grace and Albert were


    coborating on. The word on the street was that the project was in its final stages.


    A fruitful oue was expected soon.


    If she could intervene and sabotage this coboration, it would ensure Grace''s loss in the bet with


    Samuel. That would be a simple win for Jessica.


    Seeing Grace get kicked out by the Amirate board of directors would be the thing Jessica looked


    forward to the most right now.


    "He''s over there."


    Upon hearing this, Jessica hurriedly walked toward Albert. Her attitude was very courteous. "Nice to


    meet you, Mr. Barnes. I''m Jessica Landon from Landon Group."


    Jessica extended her hand, expecting a handshake from Albert.


    However, Albert paid her no attention and walked past her toward Grace.


    Left behind, Jessica stood frozen in ce.


    "Ms. Lewis, it''s rare for you toe in person. Sorry to keep you waiting," Albert said with a hint of


    a smile, his tone warm.


    Grace understood that Albert was showing her extra respect to make a point to Jessica. So she


    decided to go along with it.

    "It''s okay, Mr. Barnes. We just arrived."


    Seeing this, Jessica felt a bit annoyed. She awkwardly retracted her extended hand and quickly put


    on a smile.


    "Mr. Barnes, Landon Group is also very interested in nanorobots. I wonder if there''s a chance for us


    to work together."


    Albert ignored herpletely, giving Grace the floor. "Ms. Lewis, let''s not stand outside. Shall we go


    in?"
