BookToReadChapter 755 Abraham's smile was a bit mysterious. "Selena, are you trying to pull a fast one on me?" For a moment, the air felt charged with tension.
"No way, I wouldn't dare do that." Selena spoke earnestly, "Abraham, to be straight with you, I've looked into all the things you've done over the years. You're genuinely working for the public good, and my grandpa must have seen that in you when he picked you. I really don't want the spat between Joy andto mess up your reputation." Abraham studied her for a bit before breaking into a smile.
"Well, no wonder you're a journalist; you've got a way with words." First, she buttered him up, then mentioned Josh, reminding him of the gratitude he owed, and finally brushed off her conflict with Joy as a small matter, not worth his bending the rules.
No surprise...
Even someone like Everett was head over heels for her.
Selena quickly added, "Abraham, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare to show off in front of you. This is justtrying to keep my head above water." "I've called it quits with Everett. I just want to wrap up the project and leave with my kids in about six months." Abraham picked up on the subtext.

However...
She was Everett's ex-wife, the mother of his two kids, and even now, Everett still thought about her and the kids.
For Joy, that's a real thorn in her side.
As long as Selena stayed in Newport, Joy wouldn't find any peace.
A few promises from Selena weren't going to change that.
Abraham smirked, "You're right. I shouldn't let Joy get away with everything." Selena felt a bit relieved.
But then Abraham added with a grin, "However, Selena, Joy is my dear sister, and just words aren't enough to change my mind." He'd worked hard to get to his influential position to shield his family.
Whatever Joy wanted, he'd make sure she got.
Selena's smile faltered.
But instead of pleading further, as Abraham had expected, she stood up.
"In that case, Abraham, I won't waste your time." With that, she turned to leave.
Abraham watched her walk away. Truth is, seeing her again after al these years, the once young girl had grown into an incredibly striking woman.

Her slender figure, the elegant lines of her collarbone, her hair looselyn pinned up, highlighted the graceful En curve of her back. The emerald dress she wore showed off her graceful form, her waist so slender it sparked the imagination.
He admired her for a few moments, his throat tightening slightly before speaking again, Leaving just like that You're not gonna fight for project?" Selena's hand rested on the door handle.
She didn't turn back or say a word, just waiting for him to continue.
Abraham chuckled, shaking his head.
She really was a smart woman.
His sister Joy wasn't lacking in smarts, but Selena had the edge.
He thought for a moment before speaking slowly, "Selena, if you wantto help you, you need to show Help you, ssincerity. Only then can think about whether it's worth upsetting my sister to help you." Indeed, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Selena turned to meet his gaze. "What kind of sincerity are you looking for, Abraham?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
