Chapter 352 The Scheming Villain

"I'm his boss, I just don't want to see him do something dumb! Besides, how could a country boywith a monthly salary of $180 possibly have 100 million dollars?" Brittany explained awkwardly.

In the end, she threatened Daniel, "If you dare go through with this bet, I'll call Jessica and rat youout!"

Unable to control her subordinate, Brittany played her last card by dragging Jessica into the fray.She hoped Jessica could keep the country boy in check.

"Rat me out to Jessica? I'm not afraid of her; do what you want!" Daniel was carefree, unfazed bythe threat of being tattled on.

"You said it, don't regret it later!"

"I won't regret it."

"Fine! Calling Jessica now!" Brittany dialed Jessica's number and switched to speakerphone.

Jessica's sweet voice soon filled the room, "Brittany, what's up?"

"Guess what this country bumpkin is up to, Jessica?"

"What's he doing?"

"He's actually gambling during work hours!"

"So what? He's gambling."

"Do you know how much he's betting?"

"How much?"

"100 million!"

"100 million? Well, he always wins when he bets!"

"But this time he's definitely going to lose, one hundred percent!"

"So he loses, big deal!"

"Jessica, it's 100 million dollars! If you don't do something, if you don't freeze his account right now,he's going to lose it all to someone else!"

"It's fine as long as he's happy. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

Click. Jessica hung up the phone.

Daniel gambling? She didn't care one bit. Her only concern was that the idiot didn't cheat on her.

Meanwhile, Brittany was flabbergasted.

She had assumed that Jessica would step in and stop Daniel upon hearing the news. If nothingelse, at least scold him!

But Jessica's casual "as long as he's happy" took her by surprise.

Was Jessica too biased, too fond of this country boy?

Brittany felt jealous!

As TMO's lead secretary, she had to feel this way.

She could clearly sense that her standing in Jessica's eyes had plummeted compared to Daniel's.

Daniel looked at Brittany, grinning, "Got anyone else to call, Brittany?"

"You...hmpf!"

Fuming, all Brittany could do was huff, "Don't you gloat!"

"Gloat? I'm just being me, aren't I?"

"You're nothing but a lowlife, a despicable one at that!" She spat the words out in anger.

After her outburst, a sudden realization struck Brittany, restoring her air of superiority. She spokedown to Daniel, full of authority.

"Don't get cocky, country boy! Jessica isn't intervening because she thinks you can win. If you losethat 100 million, just watch how she'll deal with you. She'll fire you and then make you repay everycent of the losses!"

"I won't lose! Didn't Jessica say so? I've never lost at gambling! As long as it's at the table, I'munbeatable!" Daniel said with a cheerful laugh.

Brittany let out a cold snicker, mocking him, "You've never lost; that's just good fortune! Do youreally think your luck will last forever?"
