Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 476

Alex's hands shook so badly, she almost dropped the flimsy piece of paper. Under the intense stare of the boss, she had no choice but to slowly spell it out, “It's... an abortion report…”

“Abortion?” Everett echoed the word, as if it were unfamiliar.

“Say it again.”

He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Biting her lip hard, Alex managed to repeat, “Your wife... ended the pregnancy…”

Her voice became hoarse after those words. It made sense for Mrs. Everett to resent Mr. Everett; nobody would want to be stuck in such a twisted marriage, but the child was innocent... She herself loved kids.

Leaving was one thing, but terminating the pregnancy before leaving, and then sending him the news while he was lying in a hospital bed after a car crash, was beyond cruel—it was heartless!

They’d been married for years. Even if there was no love left, surely there was room for some compassion.

Was this marriage going from broken to outright hostility?

Everett couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that Selena would completely cut ties with him over losing Mateo, and now, with Haley in the picture, he thought she just hated him. How could she abandon their child?

Ignoring the pain, he forced himself upright and grabbed the report from Alex’s hands.

He read through it, each word tearing at his heart.

This moment hurt so much more than the crash itself.

Selena really knew how to cut deep.

Their little Haley, not even three months old, was gone just like that.

If not for the accident, he would have had her back by now.

But with all these twists and turns, Alex wasn’t sure what Mr. Everett wanted anymore.

Upon hearing this, Everett’s eyes flickered, but they were cold, filled with a bitter edge.

He finally spoke, his voice cutting, “Let her go.”

As the darkness closed in during the accident, his mind had been filled with memories of him and Selena.

He realized then that his fixation on her wasn’t just physical; he had unknowingly grown to care for her, even love her.

But he was too late, and she, with her own hands, in the cruelest way possible, shattered his feelings.
