<b>Chapter </b><b>100 </b>
<b>Nina </b><b>and </b><b>Jessica </b>rarely met and had no personal rtionship, at most<b>, </b>they would see each other at business banquets<b>, </b>nodding and sharing a drink in polite acquaintance.
This time, Nina hade to thepany proactively to meet, probably because there was something important.
The Felton family was a powerhouse in the entertainment industry and their entertainmentpany was far beyond <b>anything </b>the Hall family could ever match.
So, it was obvious to anyone who should be given the endorsement of the Wilder Jewelry line if both the <b>Hall </b>and Felton families wanted it.
“Ms. Wilder.” Nina sat down and replied to messages without turning around when she heard movement at the door. “A few days ago, I had dinner with Chris and we talked about you. My brother rarely praises anyone, but he spoke of you in glowing terms. Chris even got a little jealous.”
At the mention of Chris<b>, </b>the conversation shifted from business to personal matters.
Jessica nced at Nina from the side.
It was said they had been neighbors before, and Nina called Chris’s name in a way that sounded less like a sibling and more like… someone she liked.
So, had Nina once liked Chris?
Jessica felt a chill run down her spine, grateful that she had acted quickly, otherwise, Chris might not have even been her… ex- husband.
Jessica turned around and sat down, smiling as she said to Nina<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Is </b>that so? I often hear Chris mention you too. He said you were quite mischievous as a child and not as pretty as you are now. Look at you–just like the celebrities in yourpany.”
Nina put down her phone and looked at Jessica.
“We don’t need to exchangepliments. You know why I’m here. I think we’re on the same side.”
“Huh?” Jessica pretended not to understand and waited for Nina to exin herself fully.
Nina didn’t mind and knew Jessica’s character well.
Beforeing, her brother had told her many times at home not <b>to </b>act like a spoiled youngdy because Jessica was also the daughter of an affluent family, and if both were headstrong, how would the business work?
Nina assured her that Roy need not worry, she had controlled the Felton family for so many years, and no branch dared to oppose her.
Her ability was clear, and she would never act rashly.
“Alright<b>, </b>then I’ll be straightforward–we should work together.”
Jessica nodded with satisfaction.
“That’s right, working together is fine, but I have one question.” She leaned forward and looked at Nina. “Do you like Chris?”
Nina was rendered speechless.
Many had said that Jessica didn’t really like her husband at home, and it was rumored they had divorced because Jessica had cheated with her first love, Michael.
Nina had constantly criticized Jessica behind her back for having poor taste in men.
But now it seemed Jessica truly cared about Chris.
Nina nodded generously. <b>“</b><b>Yes</b>, <b>I </b>like Chris. I liked him a lot when we were young. I thought we would be together<b>, </b>but… after <b>I </b>went abroad to study and came back, he had already be your husband. But don’t worry<b>, </b>I don’t <b>do </b>anything else. Since Chris likes <b>you</b>, I just treat him as an ordinary friend.”
<b>Jessica </b>hadn’t <b>expected </b>Nina to <b>be </b>so open–minded<b>, </b>and she had nothing to hide either.
Since <b>she </b>was <b>Roy’s </b>sister<b>, </b>she naturally knew about the investigation Roy was conducting.
<b>“</b>I’m sorry to speak so inly<b>, </b>but I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future.<b>” </b>Jessica extended her hand to Nina.
Nina smiled and shook it back.
“I believe <b>so </b>too.”
“There aren’t many women in business, and they are often looked down upon.” Jessica released her hand and leaned back. 1 “Does Michael think that I’m a fool? Does he really think that a little sentiment is enough for me to forget the.Hall family’s schemes against the Wilder Group? This time, we’ll let them watch closely how women operate in the business world.”
