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!

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.
