Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 27

Maddie's teeth were practically clacking. The more she thought about what her husband had told her about Selina's connections, the less it made sense. Trevon Bradly-super young head honch of the Brady family and the big boss of Insight Group. Now, sering Trevon Brady himself, Maddie couldn't wrapher head around the idea of the Bradly family even giving the name of day to Selina, a nobody from Nowheresville. She couldn't help but wonder, 'Is this Treven guy a fake!

Theron walked over to Selina and casually dropped a hand on her shoulder. His voice was low and cut like a knife, "Honey, did she give you a hard

But do me a favor, tell Mr. Thompson that Insight Group might rethink the partnership we got going on the amusement park deal with the Thompson Group." "What!! Mr. Brady, you've always bern level-headed, putting the business first. How can you bail like this Partnering up with the Thompson Group's been a beg goal for hosight Group Maddie stammered, thrown for a loop

"You're a bit confused, Mrs. Thompson." Trevon's lips twisted in a half-smale, "Insight Group's not the one begging-Thompson Group's been the one aller us from the get-go. We always call the slits. If it makes money, we're in. And let me tell you, folks are lining up to work with us. We're not sweating Josing the Thompson Grosija"

Maddie was floored. She'd heard from her husband about the amusement park gig-ballions in the mix, with a chance to rake in way more. Even splating the dough with Insight Group meant a mega payday for any big company. But now, because she'd targeted Selina, that fat check might vanish. She couldn't Lier thinking about her husband's reaction. The Thompson Group had hanked everything on this, and the contract with Insight Group was pretty much ready to roll. This last-minute flip-flop meant scrambling for new partners- wasting time and cash-and odds were slim they'd snag a catch as big as lusight Group again.

With a glance and those ley-charm lips, he said, "Caught a peek at the security tapes earlier. Did you do a little cutting and pasting?"

Selina shot back, "you're not just anybody. Instead of getting busted by you and looking stupid, I figured I'd just fes up." She might not know Tervons inside and out, but counting two lifetimes, aside from being a total sucker for family, which made her blind to her own family's shady side, her gut feeling about people was
