Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 748

Joy was decked out in a limited edition Chanel outfit, radiating a mix of luxury and that soft, irresistible charm. She was lounging there like she owned the place, while Jason seemed to be falling over himself to keep her happy.

It was becoming clear that the one throwing a wrench in the works this time wasn't Everett, but Joy.

Selena hadn't pegged Joy as the culprit at first, mainly because this project didn't exactly fit into the usual interests of Kesler International. Plus, the project demanded a hefty upfront investment and had a lengthy payback period. Kesler International had just bagged a major deal, so their cash flow was probably stretched thin.

But now, it was obvious that she had underestimated how far Joy would go to mess with her.

Selena quickly regained her composure, flashing a smile as she said, "Sorry for being late, Jason."

Jason, being the savvy businessman he was, knew how to keep things smooth. He laughed it off, "No worries, Ms. Chambers. I just got here early. Please, take a seat."
