Chapter 137 He’s bullying me

Andrew just didn’t want to see Daniel gain anything from this on d be enraged if that country boy actually ended up with the three million. So, he had to prevent the transaction; he had to ensure Nicholas sold the worthless stone back to Daniel for three million.

“My money is my own concern, Andrew. Thank you, but I don’t need your advice on what to do with it,” Nicholas dismissed Andrew and turned to Daniel, holding the halved stone. “Is there something else

inside, Daniel?”

“Yes, but I need something first. Brittany, can you do me a quick favor? Run outside and buy me a bottle.

of vodka. The vodka they have here gets ruined because of the location, and if we want to reveal the true

nature of this Blood Jade, I’ll need you to personally buy some vodka from outside.”

At Daniel’s request, Brittany immediately became furious, stomping her high heel and rejecting the errand.

“No way! Why should I run errands? I’m not your assistant.”

“What’s wrong with leg work? Look how lazy you are; you must have gained weight recently. Running

errands will help you lose weight. Just go!” Daniel teased her further.

Knowing full well Daniel was intentionally bullying Brittany, Jessica couldn’t help but support him. After

all, Brittany routinely targeted Daniel, and a touch of payback seemed only fair.

Stunned, Brittany turned to Jessica with disbelief. “Jessica, he’s blatantly bullying me, and you’re still

taking his side?”

“All you have to do is buy something; how is that bullying? You’ve been calling him names–isn’t that the

real bullying? Be quick; we’re waiting for the vodka to turn this seemingly average Blood Jade into one

worth five million. If he can’t do that, I’ll make sure he pays for it.”

With Jessica’s words, Brittany had no choice but to go. However, she didn’t set off immediately. Glaring at Daniel, she reminded him, “I’m only buying for you this one time today. Besides one bottle of vodka,

what else do you need? You’d better list everything at once!”

Last time at Auctiq, Brittany had to run around multiple times. She definitely didn’t want a repeat of that

ordeal.

“For now, just the vodka. If I need anything else later, I’ll let you know.”

Brittany was so angry at Daniel’s response that she nearly exploded on the spot. Turning back to Jessica,

she protested, “You heard what he said! This country bumpkin just wants to torment me; he’s intentionally

making me run errands. If you don’t keep him in check, he’ll surely send me out for more after the vodka

is back.”

“Just get the vodka first, and if he bullies you again later, I’ve got your back,” Jessica reassured, although she had no real intention of défending Brittany. After progressing to secretary, Brittany had grown. arrogant within The Matthews Organization, with no one daring to oppose her. Jessica wanted Daniel to take her down a peg, seeing it as potentially beneficial.

Furthermore, Daniel was merely making her buy something, hardly worth calling a punishment.

Jessica’s command left no room for Brittany’s defiance. With deep dissatisfaction and a grudge, Brittany gritted her teeth and reluctantly went to fetch the vodka.
