Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 799

"Okay."

Selena took a sip of her coffee, trying to reassure Ava, "Don't worry, everything’s alright."

Ava wasn’t buying it, her expression clearly showing something big was up.

Sure enough, the next moment Selena asked, "Ava, where are my pills?"

Ava assumed she meant the morning-after pills and sighed, "Did Mr. Bennett toss them out in a huff? I’ll grab some more for you later."

"No, not those."

Selena’s voice was barely a whisper, "I meant my antidepressants. Where did you put them?"

Ava was taken aback.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, "Mrs. Bennett, what are you saying? You need antidepressants? Weren’t you doing better?"

Selena had been stable for so long, Ava thought she was over it.

Selena kept smiling, trying to comfort Ava, "Really, it’s nothing. I’m just a bit down. I’ll feel better after taking some medicine."

Not wanting to waste any time, Ava quickly rummaged through the stuff and handed the pills to Selena.

Selena took a few and leaned back on the couch to rest, slowly calming her turbulent emotions.

Ava watched her, feeling incredibly sad.

What a mess everything was!

...

After that unpleasant day, Everett hadn’t been back to Moon Bay, nor had he reached out to Selena.

Meanwhile, the silent battle between Everett and Abraham had officially kicked off.

Several projects at Bennett Corporation were stalled due to various hiccups, causing the stock price to nosedive for days, sparking panic among shareholders. Major investors stormed into Everett’s office daily, begging him to yield to Abraham.

With Josh’s connections, it was just a matter of making a gesture.

Everett, however, was unbothered. As stocks flooded the market, he had Paul buy them all up.

For those major shareholders doubting Bennett Corporation's future, he simply bought back their shares without lowering the price.

She suspected it had something to do with Mrs. Bennett.

Hoping to play matchmaker, she approached quietly, "Mr. Everett, would you like to have dinner at Moon Bay tonight? I can call Mrs. Bennett and let her know so she can prepare."

"You haven’t been home for days; the kids must miss you."

Everett turned to look at her.

Alex was always clever, bringing up the kids.

But could he always be the one to make the first move?

Everett still harbored his grudge and ignored her suggestion, instead instructing, "I have an appointment tonight, get the car ready."

An appointment?

Alex quickly checked the schedule, noting that today's appointments were all wrapped up.

Could it be... a personal meeting?

Judging by his tone, it probably wasn’t with Mrs. Bennett. So, who was it with?
