Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 782

Selena glanced at the paper in front of her—it was a resignation letter. She didn’t grab it right away. Instead, she picked up her teacup, gently blew the steam off the top, and took a sip before speaking, “What’s the reason?”

Holt lowered her head, her voice rough with emotion. “Ma’am, I’m really sorry. I failed to protect you.”

If Mr. Everett hadn’t stepped in yesterday, things could have gone really wrong. Holt felt deeply responsible for what happened.

“You didn’t protect me,” Selena said softly, “but it’s not entirely your fault. I knew staying in Newport wouldn’t be a walk in the park.”

“So, even if I got someone else, it wouldn’t guarantee dodging these schemes.”

She paused, thinking it over. “How about docking a month’s salary as punishment? Does that sound fair?”

Holt’s tears fell instantly. Ms. Selena was genuinely kind-hearted. Having such a boss was a stroke of luck.

She promised earnestly, “Ma’am, I’ll never leave your side again.”

“Alright, sit down, have some tea, and dry those tears. We’ve got important stuff to discuss.”

Holt sniffled, grabbed a few tissues to wipe her tears, and took a sip of hot tea to calm down, quickly shifting back into work mode.

“Ma’am, I had someone look into last night’s hotel surveillance and questioned the staff, but we didn’t find much. The cameras didn’t catch anything, and the staff seemed normal. As for the other guests, considering their prestigious statuses, it’s near impossible to dig into them.”

She looked guilty again. “Sorry, Ma’am, I feel like I’ve let you down.”

Selena wasn’t surprised by the outcome; she had expected as much.

“It’s not your fault,” Selena reassured. “It’s just that the other side is too powerful.”

She suspected Joy was behind drugging her yesterday. As for the seamless execution, that was likely Abraham’s doing. Only Abraham had the meticulous mind and skills to pull off something so flawless.
