The Return of Special Forces Queen novel Chapter 19

"What horrible luck. Why do we keep running into these two?" Lana groaned.

Jocelyn gave a faint smirk. "Just pretend they don't exist."

Unfortunately, Carter and Yolande had already spotted her.

Carter instantly urged his horse over, stopping right in front of her with a deep scowl. "What are you doing here?"

Jocelyn scoffed. "Better question—what are you doing here? So this is your 'urgent, highly important meeting,' huh?"

A flash of extreme guilt crossed his face.

"Wow, hosting emergency board meetings at the equestrian club now?" Lana sneered. "I wonder if the next one will be held in bed."

Carter's face went completely black. "Watch your mouth. Even if you're her friend, I won't let you get away with talking like that."

"Go ahead and sue me then, big guy!" Lana challenged, jutting her chin out.

Carter's expression turned murderous.

Jocelyn immediately stepped forward, shielding her friend. "Carter, if you lay a single finger on her, I will publicly release every shred of proof about your affair with Yolande!"

"You wouldn't dare!" he growled.

"Try me and see!"

She knew he had just shelled out a massive amount of cash to suppress the recent tabloid scandal. The absolute last thing he wanted was for the fire to reignite.

"Forget it. Once the divorce is finalized, they can rot together for all I care," Jocelyn said calmly.

"I just can't stand them!" Lana fumed. "And who the hell does she think she is, bragging about riding a stupid horse and flying commercial planes? Back in the special forces, you mastered everything! You literally flew fighter jets! She's nothing compared to you, yet she has the nerve to lecture you about independence!"

A wave of nostalgia washed over Jocelyn's eyes. She missed her days in the military, the unbreakable bond with her squad, and the absolute freedom of tearing through the sky in a fighter jet.

"Let's go. We're here for your business pitch," she reminded her.

"Right, right. We need to go find Edgar," Lana urged, knowing that if she missed this chance, she might never get another one.

The grounds were massive. After searching for fifteen solid minutes, they finally spotted Edgar.

He was currently surrounded by a small group of businessmen, one of whom was Mr. Wilson, a corporate partner who had previously worked with Lana.
