Chapter 26 Eighty Million Jessica was getting a headache and scolded Brittany sharply, "I'll teach Daniel discipline, and it's not your place to do so! You're not his superior, and he's not yours. You can't control each other or bully each other! Both of you cwith me; we're going to Auctiq to find Nicholas Snyder. For TMO's collaboration with Healthy Land, we need a considerable investment. That old fox cheatedout of my money, and we must get it back." "Nicholas isn't an easy one; we've tried several times, already to get our money back without any success. I doubt this twill be any different; we probably won't get a dime." "We won't know unless we try. Getting back any amount is better than nothing at all." Someone dared to cheat Jessica out of her money? Daniel saw this as an opportunity to make a good impression.

Winning a woman's heart requires patience and consistent effort. Every favor he did for her could make her a bit more appreciative. The more he did, the more she would owe him.

Even if, in the end, she wasn't willing to marry him, at least he expected she'd hand over The Sealed Dragon Grass as compensation.

"Ma'am Jessica, how much did Nicholas cheat you out of?" "Eighty million!" "Eighty million? How did he swindle you? I'll make sure that old fox coughs up every penny, with interest!" Daniel's claim was met with a cold laugh from Brittany.

"Heh!" With a face full of scorn, Brittany mocked him, "You idiot, do you even know who he is? Do you know what Auctiq is? And you think you can make Nicholas return eighty million, plus interest?" "Of course, I can." "If you can't, then resign from Jessica's side promptly! TMO needs honest people, not braggarts like you!" Brittany saw her chance to set a trap for Daniel - a fool who didn't know what he was doing could be easily ousted from TMO with a little ploy.

"Fine!" Daniel agreed without hesitation, prompting Jessica's irritation, "Okay? Who gave you permission.

to say okay? You're my assistant, and unless I fire you, you don't get to quit! And you better work on that habit of making empty promises.

And Brittany, didn't I ask you to get along with Daniel? Are you trying to get rid of him because you're jealous? If you keep this up, forget about your bonus!"

Jessica, are you blamingfor this? He's the one who started bragging. It was just a bet between is. If he'dan't e handle the loss and expects you to bail him out, that's not my problem. He's an idiot, shameless, with no sense of decency."

"Who says I can't handle a loss? Besides, I won't lose! I'll make sure Nicholas returns your eighty million, plus interest!" "Did you hear that, Jessica? You're backing him up. But he's not showing you any respect; he's still bluffing!" Jessica chose to stay silent. One was her husband

in a trial period; the other, her long-standing secretary. She had hoped to to keep both sides happy, but it seemed impractical now. So, she decided to let them be.

If Daniel couldn't even handle Brittany, he didn't deserve to be Jessica's husband!
