Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 807

Jealousy got the better of him, and he lost his grip on reality. Clutching her wrist, he demanded, "Selena, be honest with me. If I'm not around, or in six months' time, would you pick another guy, maybe even go back to Callum?"

Selena's eyes welled up with unshed tears, and her voice cracked. "Everett, can you stop being so unreasonable? What more do you want from me?"

She had returned to him, yielded to his desires, never turning him down, even when it pained her. She was seeing a therapist, trying to get her head straight, hoping she could eventually return his feelings. But... it wasn't that straightforward.

She realized she just couldn't love anymore. She had lost that ability.

Their argument caught the attention of those inside the house. Mateo and Haley peeked over the windowsill, their little heads watching the scene unfold. Selena noticed and didn't want the kids to see their parents fighting. Besides, she was utterly drained.

Dr. Stone's advice suddenly came to mind. Initially, she didn't want to go down this road. But now, she felt trapped with no other options.

"Everett," she whispered, lips trembling, "if you feel I'm not giving you the warmth you need, I'm not gonna hold you back. You're free to find someone else."

Everett was taken aback, his eyes a storm of emotions. He gripped Selena's neck, pulling her closer. "Selena, what did you say? Say it again!"

Selena recalled the lipstick smudge and the phone number she found in his suit pocket that night. She knew a man like Everett would never be short of women eager to be with him. She demanded his loyalty but struggled with his endless demands.

Selena was hurting too. She closed her eyes, clenching her fists, nails digging into her palms.

"Go ahead, find another woman, anyone will do."

Bennett Corporation's projects were back on track within three days, making headlines again. Gossiping netizens buzzed with excitement over Everett's impressive win in his first major showdown against future competition. He truly was a force to be reckoned with!

In the Bennett Corporation CEO's office, Alex was eagerly sharing the news with the boss. The man lounged in his leather chair, his expression indifferent, not showing any signs of triumph.

"If there's nothing else, you can head out."

Alex hesitated, not moving. Everett glanced at her, "What's up?"

Alex sighed and said, "That actress, Breanne, has come by several times wanting to see you. She's here again, waiting downstairs. Do you... want to meet her?"
