Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 189

Everett and Paul, the CEO of K Corporation, officially announced at a press conference that their companies were diving into a long-term strategic partnership. After signing the contract, they stood and shook hands while the photographers went into a frenzy, capturing this historic moment. This marked the beginning of Bennett Corporation's foray into international markets. Conservative estimates suggested the group's market value could multiply several times over the next five years. Naturally, the stock prices of both Bennett Corporation and K Corporation soared following the announcement.

At the reception, Paul clinked glasses with Everett, took a sip of red wine, and couldn't help but remark, "Only someone like Everett could make me wait three years, and of course, you didn't let me down. If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't have bothered." Three years ago, their collaboration was nearly at the signing stage when Josh abruptly called it off. Paul was extremely displeased. Even though Bennett Corporation is a leading company, they couldn't just strong-arm people like that.

At the time, Everett didn't offer much of an explanation but confidently stated, "You won't find a better partner than Bennett Corporation. Give me three years, and we'll be the best partners."

Paul, a veteran in the business world, had seen plenty of young, brash successors, but Everett stood out as the most audacious and self-assured.

Paul wasn't put off; he prided himself on his ability to judge character and was convinced Everett was exceptional. And indeed, he had waited, and now his profit exceeded what was on the table three years ago, enough to make him smile in his sleep.
