Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 474

Harrison was fed up with Gemma meddling in his love life. His looming divorce from Selene wasn’t just a coincidence—Gemma’s stirring the pot had played no small part.

“I remember Uncle’s always looked after the Johnstons. Didn’t their heiress use his letter of recommendation to study abroad?”

“That was ages ago,” Gemma replied. “Word is, Miss Johnston made quite a name for herself in Morgania. She’s back now and working at QuanTech Innovations, under the Lockridge Group.”

Harrison was about to leave, but something Gemma said made him pause.

“What position does Miss Johnston hold at QuanTech Innovations?”

Gemma’s eyes lit up—was Harrison showing an interest in the Johnston heiress at last?

She leaned in, eager to embellish. “From what I hear, Gwyneth thinks very highly of her. Now that she’s joined QuanTech, she’s probably running things over there.”

But wasn’t Selene supposed to be in charge?

Harrison immediately realized what this meant—Selene’s position at QuanTech might not be as secure as he’d thought.

A Harvard grad returning from Morgania, with international finance coverage and the backing of his influential uncle—Annalise Johnston was a force. Selene, with neither pedigree nor experience, would be under tremendous pressure facing someone like her.

His voice was cold as steel. “After the retreat at Serenity Church next week, arrange for me to meet her.”

Gemma could hardly contain her excitement. She wanted to call the Johnstons right away and set up the meeting between Annalise and Harrison.

“Of course! As soon as we’re back, I’ll get it sorted.”

QuanTech Innovations:

Selene pushed back in her rolling desk chair, her heels catching on the floor as she retreated from the desk.

She called out to the man kneeling beneath her desk, “You can come out now.”

Adrian brushed a hand through his hair, remembering the way Selene’s fingers had ruffled it moments ago. He smirked, lips curling with satisfaction.

“Give me a minute.”

Selene’s gaze flicked downward, lingering for a heartbeat.
