Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 851

Everett was firm. "Let her go."

Alex's face was a mix of emotions, hard to pin down.

Unable to hold it in any longer, she blurted out, "Mr. Everett, you're not... still feeling sorry for Joy, are you? Acting like this... how can you live with yourself, considering your wife..."

The man’s dark eyes flicked over to Alex, silencing her.

She bit her lip, choosing to keep quiet.

Everett didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he simply instructed, "Get on with it. And bring Flynn here."

With reluctance, Alex nodded and shuffled out.

Minutes later, Flynn appeared, taking a seat across from Everett on the sofa.

Gone was the exuberant confidence of previous days; he now seemed a bit deflated.

The thought of not being able to help Selena weighed heavily on him. As a perfectionist, the idea of a blemish on his medical career was hard to swallow.

Everett's intense gaze didn’t waver as he spoke calmly, "I've got an idea. Not sure it'll work, though."

Flynn raised an eyebrow, skeptical.

Even he, with all his expertise, was struggling, and Everett, without a background in psychology, had a solution?

Flynn sipped his coffee, skeptical. "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Everett leaned in, carefully laying out his plan. By the end, Flynn was taken aback.

He swallowed his coffee with difficulty, contemplating. "Well... it's worth a shot, though... Mr. Everett, you really have quite the ruthless streak."

No wonder he was a force to be reckoned with in the business world.

Even without formal training in psychology, he had a deep understanding of human nature.

A truly formidable man.

...

The night deepened.

The clock on the wall ticked toward eleven-thirty.

Just like she needed him to survive before, no matter the consequences!

Now, he truly understood her decision from over a year ago.

Everett asked Ava to take the children out, and Flynn closed the door behind them.

Flynn checked his watch. "Let's get started."

Everett moved to the bed and sat down. Although Selena's eyes were open, she was lost to the world. He gently supported her shoulders, easing her into a sitting position against the headboard.

His dark eyes locked onto hers as he pulled out his phone, playing a recording of Joy's interview with the press.

With those voices filling the room, he spoke each word with precision.

"Selena, Joy has been released without charges. I took care of the negative press."

"I’ve thought it over, and someone in your state isn’t fit to be Mrs. Bennett. The role of the lady of the Bennett family isn’t for a living ghost, so... I’m letting you go. I'm planning to propose to the Kesler family again and marry Joy, making her Mrs. Bennett, Matthew and Haley’s mother."

"And you, you’ll stay here, forever a living ghost."
