For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and awkwardly silent. Emely Fernandez felt humiliated. She had been in the company for so many years and got to her position with much effort, so she did not mean to leave just like that.

Gino Anderson standing up for the newcomer Jenna was also a slap in the face for Emely. The meeting room was silent, and everyone looked at each other.

Jenna made a slight frown. She wanted to avoid becoming a target as soon as she took office. Emely rose hesitantly, her cheeks flushed as she was about to defuse the tension in the room. "President Anderson, I sincerely apologize for my behavior, and I respect the company's choice and look forward to working with Ms. Jenna."

"Good. Meeting adjourned." Gino did not say much. He did not want to waste another minute and left the meeting room imposingly.

Emely then let out a long breath of relief. Although many others disagreed about Jenna's arrival, they dared not oppose Gino's authority.

    Jenna took out her phone and looked at the trending topics, then snickered andput it aside without a thought.She was familiar with the Martinez family's background and knew Mark's parents must have pressured him. Otherwise, knowing hischaracter, he would never willingly admit his fault. Mark must be hating her guts at this moment.There was a knock at the door. Emely let herself in and smiled. "Ms. Jenna, Jenna, is it convenient for me to come in and talk?"Jenna nodded. "Please, come in."

It made her look so tall and beautiful.Her long wavy hair was draped over her back and her temperament was incredibly striking.Mark cursed under his breath. "What kind of small world is this?! How can I run into someone I hate when I just want a drink..."Stella's group naturally noticed Rex and Mark. Although they did not want to see their faces, there was no reason to ignore them now that they ran into each other."Mr. Martinez, have you finished cleaning up your messy love life? How are you still in the mood to come out for a drink? I guess the impact of that photo is still too small, huh?" Stella scoffed. Mark was not willing to show any weakness and glared at the culprit Jenna at the back. He sneered and said, "Jenna, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be a completely different pe

    Although they were from different circles, the high society of New York was small, so everyone would more or less cross paths with each other. Thus, Mark and Chris knew each other.When Chris saw Mark, he naturally saw Rex as well. Chris tipped his glass as a gesture. "What a coincidence, Mr. Martinez."Mark saw that Jenna and Stella were sitting with Chris so he figured that they were here together. Mark turned and pulled Rex to sit at their table. "Let's play a game together. You won't mind, right, Mr. Avila?" Chris did not answer and turned to look at Jenn. "My queen, do you mind?"Jenna stood up insouciantly. "Help yourselves, I'm going downstairs to watch the band." Stella immediately followed suit. "Let's go! It's so suffocating sharing the same space with such pests."Alexa took three bottles of fine wine and said, "1 m coming too!"Rex watched as Jenn disappeared down the stairs before he withdrew his gaze and glanced at Chris.

    How meaningless would it be without bets?Rex's eyes were deep as he stared at her indifferent side profile. "What are your thoughts?"Before Jenna could say anything, Mark sneered and spoke first. "If Rex loses, "I walk out of here butt naked, but if Jenna loses..."He swept a glance at the Avila brothers and continued in a disdainful tone, "You need to admit in public that you married into the Hidalgo family for money, and you can never show your face in New York ever again! Jenna, do you dare to bet onthis?"Chris and Robert were dumbfounded. Stella was so enraged that she wanted to stand up and defend Jenna, but Alexa pulled Stella back and told her not to be impulsive.Rex's eyebrows furrowed tighter.

    The meeting room was dead silent for a full minute.Mr. Skilinzie's face was red, and he did not expect that Jenna would turn the gun on them. He said, "It's not..." Jenna interrupted him without a care. "I believe you've all received notice this morning that I'm managing everything in the company in Mr. Anderson's absence. I'm in charge of this project, so if you don't want to be a part of it from now on, hand me your letter of resignation immediately. Your positions will be replaced by your deputies. I will explain everything to Mr. Anderson." The people in the room were shocked and silenced. They had all stepped over each other to climb to their department head positions, and their deputies were eyeing their spots. It was a sought-after position, so no one dared to act rashly at this moment.Although they could not stand that Jenna had parachuted into her Vice President position, they could all tell how much Gino had supported her since the first day she arrived. They knew that t

    At that moment, Jenna felt an unexpected intensity in Chris's demeanor, a stark departure from the carefree young man she had known just two years ago. It was as if he had transformed into a more sophisticated version of himself, a master of his destiny. Jenna found herself entangled in his gaze, lost in contemplation."He's not the same frivolous young master as he was two years ago," she thought, her mind racing to make sense of the shift.Panicking, Jenna quickly gathered her composure, determined not to reveal her inner turmoil. She had experienced the whirlwind of love before and had no intention of getting caught up in it again, no matter how tempting it might be."Avila, you're getting better at coaxing women now, huh?" she teased, trying to deflect attention from her unease.Chris, slightly taken aback, chuckled and took a step back. "No one else is qualified enough for me to coax."Jenna raised an eyebrow teasingly, "Right... If your girlfriends lined up, they could probably

    After Jenna eloquently expressed her thoughts, she retreated to the private room to make a call to Chris and make her exit. However, as she was about to get into her car, a sudden realization struck her – she had left her bag in the private room. Contemplating whether to retrieve it or not, Chris intervened, assuring her, "I'll get it. You can wait in the car." Without uttering another word, Chris left Jenna standing there. Intrigued, Jenna decided to follow him, only to unexpectedly cross paths with Rex and Mark, both on their way out. Preferring to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jenna refrained from approaching and instead positioned herself on the other side of the fountain at the entrance. Mark, initiating a conversation, remarked, "I heard that Alice is coming back soon?" Rex responded with a resonant "mm." Mark continued, "I haven't seen her in so long. I miss her. Although she was at fault, your punishment was a little too heavy. She's one of us, so you should forgive her." As

    Rex did not make a sound on the side, but his eyes had a chill in them. Jenna laughed lightly and took Chris's arm. She raised an eyebrow and said, "What does it matter to you how many men I change or how many people I date? Mr. Martinez, do you wanna date me too?" Mark was dissatisfied and felt infuriated. 'Why do I always get bullied by Jenna?!' "You? You're not my type!" "To be honest, the last time I saw your body, it's not that great. You'd better date women with no taste. I'm very strict about my requirements for men's physique." "How dare you say my body's not great!" Mark's face turned red and white as he shook with anger, but he did not dare to say another word. His nudes were in her hands, so it left him with no choice but to retreat. He also heard what Jenna implied. 'Is this woman threatening me?' Chris laughed at the side. "Her standards have always been very high. Mr. Matinez, if we continue talking, it

    Jenna cast a sidelong glance as if he were a stranger, the man outside the elevator. The elevator door closed, and the man was finally out of her sight.The question had been bothering him for a while, and he finally asked it when they were in Rolland's fancy sports vehicle. "Is this thing worth a lot of money? Why is the Hidalgo family so desperate for it?" Jenna chuckled as she turned to face the box she was holding."This object is millennia old. I heard it originated in a royal palace and had been passed down through the Hidalgo family for nearly eight centuries. Do you believe its value to be high?" Rolland was visibly astonished, and his speed reduced. "This is just incredible! Did they put up an auction for such a valuable thing? No wonder Rex Hidalgo asked Jenna to state her price. If Jenna asked for nine figures, Rex probably wouldn't even have the slightest hesitation!'Jenna's phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and saw that it was Gino, so she happily picked up the call.

    Seeing the oncoming person, Dianne's eyes immediately turned red as she walked over emotionally. "Rex...""Brother, Jenna snatched away the pipe! That's Grandpa's favorite.

His body was half-hidden in the shadows as he stared at the people in the room with cold eyes."Shut up! How dare you steal from Grandpa?" He spoke in a harsh tone and scolded Elena, who shuddered in fear and hid behind her mother, not daring to look up.Behind Rex was the person in charge of this event, who stood there with trepidation. The organizer glanced at the staff on the side and asked, "Are the formalities done?""Yes, everything is settled." The staff replied cautiously.Since everything was done and dusted, Jenna was not afraid of anything. After all, their precious family heirloom was in her hands, so she could call the shots.Jenna looked at Rolland, who was next to her. "

    The employee kindly placed the emerald pipe before Jenna.She took it up and examined it. There was a tiny red area around the base of the tobacco pipe.'So this is the real one.' Jenna thought to herself."Thank you," Jenna said to the employee.She paid no attention to the two women who were in her peripheral view.Dianne was unable to tolerate it any longer and snorted icily."Are your eyes on your feet, Jenna? Are you not aware of how to act civil when you see your elders?"'How did she handle me in the past? She never dealt with me fairly when I was her daughter-in-law and anticipates that I would now treat her as an elder?'Jenna's gaze wavered. She raise an eyebrow and said "Oh, Mrs. Hidalgo, how coincidental that you are here as well!"Her remarks were sufficient for Dianne topass away from frustration.Anger reddened Dianne's face.

    There was a commotion as Jenna was the center of attention for everyone.Rolland gave Jenna a perplexed look."What do you want this for?"Jenna hooked her lips. "It looks lovely, don't you think?""I don't think so. It looks like an ordinary tobacco pipe... what's so nice about it?"Jenna saw the look in Dianne and Elena's eyes on her, so she gave a hesitant smile and not avert her eyes from them.The mother-daughter Hidalgo duo were clearly taken aback. They were aware, that Jenna identified this emerald pipe.Dianne had already requested Jenna totidy the memorial hall by herself. Dianne purposefully removed the pipe from the lockbox and set it down on a top shelf, hoping Jenna wouldwould unintentionally run into the shelf and break the emerald pipe.If that happen, Old Master Hidalgowould undoubtedly expel Jenna from theirfamily, but Jenna was smart enough to avoid touching it.Had it not been for the security camera in the memorial hall, Dianne would havebroken it herself and

    In a fit of rage and humiliation, Elena eventually exited the jewelry store. Stella quickly turned over the card and skimmed it over. Surprised herself, she asked, "How did you get this card?""My third brother gave it to me on my eighteenth birthday. He told me to bring it wherever I go. I didn't expect it to come handy," Jenna remarked, pursed lips."I'm envious and jealous that God didn't give me a third brother," Stella asked, clutching her brow."If you like it so much, I'll give it to you," Jenna said, laughing and handing it to her."Not at all! This card never expires. Once transferred, it becomes invalid, so you keep it, but need to purchase my favorites."Stella gladly took Jenna around the mall after they bought the jewelry, and then they left.When Jenna returned to the office, she was in a terrific mood.
