NovelBarChapter 189 Everett and Paul, the CEO of K Corporation, officially announced at a press conference that their companies were diving into a long-term strategic partnership. After signing the contract, they stood and shook hands while the photographers went into a frenzy, capturing this historic moment.

If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't have bothered." Three years ago, their collaboration was nearly at the signing stage when Josh abruptly called it off. Paul was extremely displeased. Even though Bennett Corporation is a leading company, they couldn't just strong-arm people like that.
At the time, Everett didn't offer much of an explanation but confidently stated, "You won't find a better partner than Bennett Corporation. Givethree years, and we'll be the best partners." Paul, a veteran in the business world, had seen plenty of young, brash successors, but Everett stood out as the most audacious and self-assured.
Paul wasn't put off; he prided himself on his ability to judge character and was convinced Everett was exceptional. And indeed, he had waited, and now his profit exceeded what was on the table three years ago, enough to make him smile in his sleep.
Everett gave a humble smile. "I'm honored that you think so highly of me." The more Paul observed Everett, the more impressed he became. He was young, handsome, wealthy, and unmatched in ability among his peers. Paul thought of introducing his daughter to Everett, hoping sparks might fly and lead to a marriage alliance, which would be ideal.

My daughter just fret graduated this year; she's not only beautiful but also accomplished. I think you young folks would have plenty to chat about." These "old friends" were all influential figures, many from old-money families. Building these connections could be excellent for Bennett Corporation's international operations. But clearly, Paul had other motives. Everett caught on quickly; he never minded these unwritten business rules. With a slight smile, he replied, "Of course, see you tonight." Paul's smile widened. He knew Everett was married but had heard his wife wasn't anyone of notable social standing, so he didn't consider her a threat. If necessary, their divorce would suffice. He immediately called his daughter, urging her to seize the opportunity that night.
After the reception, Everett headed back to the hotel. He leaned back in the leather seat, his fingers massaging his temples, then took out his phone to scroll through various unread messages, all offering congratulations except... not a single word from his wife.
He counted the days he'd been on this business trip. It was nearly half a month. Previously, if he was away for more than 24 hours, Selena would call nonstop, but this time, she was remarkably detached,

Looking at his phone, he chuckled. "Derick, what's the latest with then missus?" he asked casually, dropping the phone and pretending to be nonchalant.
