After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Jolie nodded. "Yes."

Selena continued, "So, because you already had some contact with Gavin, the Quin family saw an opportunity and started pushing you toward him."

Jolie nodded again.

"Then go along with it," Selena said simply.

"What?" Jolie looked at her in confusion. "But wouldn't that mean giving them exactly what they want?"

"Oh, you silly girl." Selena gave her a soft, almost indulgent smile. "Do you think someone like Gavin Cooper is that easy to manipulate? Do you really think the Quin family can control him just by sending you to him?

"Quite the opposite. If you truly manage to win him over, to the point where he's devoted to you, then you'll hold all the cards. If you tell him to keep his distance from the Quin family, they'll end up with nothing-no leverage, no benefits. They'd be left with nothing but regret."

Jolie listened, her eyes gradually widening as if a whole new world had opened up before her.

Selena spread her hands. "Expand your perspective. The worst-case scenario? He doesn't fall for you, and you don't end up together. But in the meantime, you're not losing out.

"He's good-looking, powerful, and influential. If you're with him, do you think the Quin family would dare to oppress you? Of course not. They'd be terrified of Gavin coming after them. They'd treat you like royalty, out of pure fear."

Jolie's mouth fell open as she stared at Selena, stunned and awestruck.

Selena smirked. "Trust your sister. I've got this figured out."

Jolie stammered, "I-I think my brain is spinning. I might need some time to process this."
