Chapter 144

Derick caught up with them at the elevator.

“Mr. Moore, we've fully prepared for this project at Universe Blade Group, investing a significant amount of

capital. If Glory Corporation chooses not to cooperate with us now, it will be a fatal blow to us. | hope Mr. Moore

can give us another chance.”

Neither Jackson nor Gilda said anything.

As the elevator reached their floor, Derick ran out of reasons. “Mr. Moore, Ms. Lynch! | still hope we can have a

chance to cooperate. We are deeply sorry for this unexpected event, but cooperation requires adjustments...”

The elevator doors opened.

Jackson and Gilda stepped inside.

“Mr. Lee! Please leave here.”

With those words, Derick’s heart sank, and he could only watch as the elevator doors closed.

At that moment, Jensen and Lanny approached. “Mr. Lee!”

Startled, Derick faced Jensen. “Mr. Harrington, what is this about?”

Jensen spoke casually, “Today was an eye-opener. However, Mr. Lee, let's not have such jokes in the future.

We're all part of the scircle, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out.”

Derick felt defeated.

“Mr. Harrington, is there really no room for negotiation?”

Jensen offered sadvice, “Mr. Lee, knowing how to use people is one of the most important abilities for

leaders in our position. | don’t think | need to teach you that.”

Derick nodded repeatedly, understanding Jensen’s implication.

After everyone else had left, Derick called Ann directly to his office.

“Mr. Lee, I... Before Ann could finish her sentence, she was slapped in the face, leaving her bewildered.

She covered her face in disbelief, eyes welling up with tears, but she held back from crying out.

“Ann, do you realize the extent of the damage your actions today have caused the company?”

Ann lowered her gaze.

She didn’t expect the situation to escalate like this.

“Mr. Lee, | was wrong. | hope you can giveanother chance, Ann said sincerely, a far cry from her previous

arrogance.

Derick was furious.

However, he also knew that Ann was usually not as thoughtless as she had been today. He asked, “Do you have

skind of grudge against Ms. Lynch?”

Ann remained silent...

Derick slammed his hand on the desk. “In that case, starting today, hand over your work and take an indefinite

leave of absence.”

“Mr. Lee!” Ann pleaded anxiously, “This situation isn’t as serious as it seems. Please listen to my explanation!”

Derick could only feel a splitting headache and so he waved her away.

Ann felt indignant but was helpless to do anything else.

As she left the office, she was met with various gazes, and people whispered and pointed at her. She covered her

face, her expression dark.

She quickly left and returned to her office, slamming the door shut behind her with a bang.

Then, she made a phone call. “Uncle Donovan...”

Her voice was filled with tears.

Ann's heart was heavy with grievances.

After leaving Universe Blade Group, the sun shone warmly on them. Jackson walked alongside Gilda and shared

the information he had just uncovered.

“The director of Universe Blade Group is related to the Donovan family, and Madeleine is her cousin.”

Hearing this, Gilda instantly understood.

She thought, “That explains it!

“No wonder she was targetingin her words today. It all makes sense now.” Gilda couldn’t help but

smile.
