Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 691

Mrs. Nelson didn’t look the least bit surprised. She kept going, “Emmy is the director over at Starlight Corporation. Right now, she’s working on an agricultural aid project, which just so happens to line up with my husband’s charity work.”

“My husband’s really interested in this project. He’s thinking about working with her more closely. Teresa, you really raised an incredible daughter.”

Agricultural aid?

That just sounded poor and unfashionable.

The ladies exchanged glances, a little skeptical at first, but then the real meaning dawned on them.

The head of the Nelson family was not only a key figure in the cabinet but also a favorite for next year’s election. Projects like this might not earn much, but they were gold for reputation and political achievements.

Suddenly, the whole vibe in the pavilion changed.

“Oh, so it’s Ms. Eincoln’s project! That’s really impressive, especially for someone so young.”

“Yes, absolutely. Most young people these days only care about having fun, but Ms. Eincoln is out here making a real difference. She’s a role model for our own kids.”

“Teresa, you’re so lucky. With a daughter like that, her future is boundless.”

Someone couldn’t wait any longer and leaned in, “Teresa, you have to tell us—how did you manage to raise such an amazing daughter?”

Teresa placed a single white lisianthus into the vase, her smile soft and calm.

“You’re all being too generous.”

“It’s really her own doing. I can’t take much credit.”

“She’s always had her own ideas, even when she was little. She likes to figure things out for herself. All I really did was support her and try not to get in her way.”

Her response was the perfect blend of modesty and confidence, never bragging but never sounding small.

The other ladies chimed in with more praise about her humility, each one secretly running their own calculations in their heads.

The conversation drifted back to their husbands’ careers. Teresa mostly listened, only joining in when someone addressed her directly.
