Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 839

"Whatever issues there might be, they should be handled privately."

But Joy had spent ages setting up this very moment, waiting for it with bated breath, and she had no intention of listening to the principal's call for discretion.

There was a time she didn’t want things to go this far. After all, Selena used to be her best friend, and Joy had hoped to leave a little room for reconciliation.

But then it happened. Selena managed to steal Everett away, leading him to break off their engagement without a second thought, shattering all of Joy’s dreams in one swift move.

Nobody knew the lengths she had gone to in order to become Everett’s bride!

Back when Margot was still in the picture, Joy had slyly set up a rivalry between Selena and Margot. Those articles flaunting Margot’s romance? All her doing, with resources she manipulated but outwardly credited to Everett.

Her plan was to see them both hurt, hoping Everett would end up disinterested in them both, leaving Joy with the perfect opportunity.

Unfortunately, Margot wasn't much of a challenger, and the real twist came when Everett genuinely started to fall for Selena. No amount of teeth-gritting could change the truth of that matter.

How could she just stand by and watch them live happily ever after?

She needed to create a breaking point that would undoubtedly drive them apart.

So, she hired an ex-con with a hefty payout to take care of Selena and her unborn child.

That car accident everyone thought Margot orchestrated? That was Joy’s handiwork.

Sadly, Selena was tougher than expected; she lost the child but survived. And, as Joy later discovered, so did Mateo.

But at the time, her plan worked—it drove Selena and Everett apart, making Selena flee and leaving Everett to deal with Margot.

It was a double win, and Joy was pretty pleased with herself.

Yasmine showing up was a surprise, but Joy wasn’t worried; no other woman posed a threat to Selena in her eyes.

For those three years, she did everything she could to become Everett’s ideal wife, preparing for the day she'd finally be close to him.

And then, Selena returned, and this time with a child.
