Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 857

Holt: "But...he's already gone..."

Selena chuckled softly, "He may have died in Y Country, but Joy didn't see it for herself, did she? What if I told you he's alive again? Wouldn't someone with a guilty conscience be afraid of a ghost knocking at their door in the dead of night?"

"I'm betting she won't get through this one!"

As thunder rumbled around them, Holt suddenly grasped Selena's plan. Her initial surprise slowly melted into admiration.

With genuine respect, she said, "Miss, your mind is something else."

No surprise there she's part of the Irwin family, and the big boss's niece, no less.

Selena started giving Holt some quiet instructions.

Since Selena needed to stay home to recover and attend her therapy sessions, Holt didn't linger. Once their business chat wrapped up, she headed out.

As soon as she was outside, Holt whipped out her phone, dialed a number, and relayed her conversation with Selena, word for word.
