Chapter 139
As soon as she sat down, a woman in her early thirties wearing high heels walked in. She wore black- ⚫ framed glasses, 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 become the CEO of Glory Corporation. It shows. remarkable ability. I’m just curious how much you understand about nanotechnology?”
Gilda smiled politely, maintaining her composure.
“I have a decent understanding, at least.”
Upon hearing this, Ann felt that Gilda was nothing more than a decorative figurehead, lacking any real. ability and relying solely on her family’s support to become CEO.
Additionally, she had some personal grievances with Gilda.
So when she learned that the company intended to collaborate with Glory Corporation, she volunteered to attend the meeting with the sole purpose of teaching Gilda a lesson.
“Ms. Lynch, in the business world, competition can be fierce. If you’re not prepared, I advise you to withdraw early to avoid embarrassment.”
“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 slammed 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 glancing 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 your company’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?
