Chapter 41 Spolled Rotten Brittany felt incredibly wronged by Daniel's words and quickly turned to Jessica for support.

*Jessica, did you hear what he just said? He's deliberately trying to pick on me. Are you just going to let him do that?" "First, go buy that lighter, and we'll see what Daniel is up to. What he plans to do with that painting... If he's only doing this to bully you, I promise, I'll punish him severely. Now, please hurry up and get a lighter!" Jessica's curiosity had been piqued by Daniel.

Above all, she cared about money. If the painting really was worth two hundred million dollars, that could solve major issues for the company! The nagging problem of cash flow that she had been worried about could immediately be resolved.

As for the slight discomfort Brittany was experiencing-it was just a tiny lesson for her.

Before Daniel arrived on the scene, Brittany had respected just one person at TMO: Jessica. She didn't care about anyone else. It seemed she had a distorted view of her own situation. Jessica had tried several times to get her to be more reasonable, thinking maybe Brittany would see the error of her ways. After all, Brittany had been with her for years and was quite capable, the most handy person under her management. Jessica didn't want to punish Brittany over strivial matters! And Daniel had indeed been a great help to her. First, he secured the Healthy Land deal for her, and now he recovered the money Auctiq conned from her with interest. And most notably, he had dealt with the nuisance that was Brittany! The more Jessica watched Daniel, the happier she felt in her heart. However, she wasn't about to shorten his trial period. What kind of person was he, really? That couldn't be discerned in a short period; she felt she needed to assess him for a year. If after one year, he still impressed her this much, she would marry him. By then she would announce to everyone that Daniel was her husband, Jessica's husband! She'd throw a huge wedding and spread the news all over town! At that moment, Brittany returned with a lighter that she had bought for one dollar and handed it to Daniel. "Here you go. This costa hundred bucks. You'll have to reimburse me; the company won't cover it!" "Jessica, could you give her the hundred dollars, please?" Daniel said.

"Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, is she your mother or something? Why do you keep going to her for everything? Are you even a man?" Brittany stomped her foot in frustration.

Jessica giggled quietly to the side. At the stime, she felt a bit puzzled. Daniel always leveraged Jessica's status, yet she wasn't annoyed with him in the slightest? explained "I am Jessica's personal assistant. Whatever trouble I face, of course, I turn to her!" Daniel explained.

"Brittany, regarding the money, any expenses Daniel incurs are eligible for reimbursement," Jessica clarified. Chapter 41 Spoiled Rotten "Jessica, aren't you indulging him too much? What if he misuses company funds?"

"If you can sell something that's initially worth a million for eightyn million and generate an eighty-fold profit for the company, I'll give you the sprivileges."

"Fine, just keep favoring him, Jessica! This loser's getting too cocky If you don't rein him in soon, he'll stop respecting you altogether." That's when Daniel lit the alcohol burner.

And then, the shocking moment happened.

He actually placed the painting directly above the flof the burner.

Brittany was stunned. "You idiot, what are you doing? Are you actually trying to burn the painting? Do you ER.

want to reduce it to ashes?!”
