Joy felt like she must have misheard, so she quickly grabbed Everett's arm. "Everett, what... what are you saying? This isn't the time for jokes..."

Ms. Joy and Ann exchanged confused glances, while Carolina's expression shifted.

The partnership between Bennett Corporation and Kesler International will remain as is. Of course, if Kesler International wants to end the collaboration, they can do so at any time."

Everett gently removed Joy's hand from his arm, gave a polite nod, and began to walk away.
