Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 755

Abraham's smile was a bit mysterious. "Selena, are you trying to pull a fast one on me?"

For a moment, the air felt charged with tension.

"No way, I wouldn't dare do that."

Selena spoke earnestly, "Abraham, to be straight with you, I've looked into all the things you've done over the years. You're genuinely working for the public good, and my grandpa must have seen that in you when he picked you. I really don't want the spat between Joy and me to mess up your reputation."

Abraham studied her for a bit before breaking into a smile.

"Well, no wonder you're a journalist; you've got a way with words."

First, she buttered him up, then mentioned Josh, reminding him of the gratitude he owed, and finally brushed off her conflict with Joy as a small matter, not worth his bending the rules.

No surprise...

Even someone like Everett was head over heels for her.

Selena quickly added, "Abraham, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare to show off in front of you. This is just me trying to keep my head above water."

"I've called it quits with Everett. I just want to wrap up the project and leave with my kids in about six months."

Abraham picked up on the subtext.

Whatever happens between Everett and Joy is none of her business, and Joy doesn’t need to go after her.

However...

She was Everett’s ex-wife, the mother of his two kids, and even now, Everett still thought about her and the kids.

For Joy, that's a real thorn in her side.

As long as Selena stayed in Newport, Joy wouldn't find any peace.

A few promises from Selena weren’t going to change that.

Abraham smirked, "You're right. I shouldn't let Joy get away with everything."
