Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 855

Until... Joy suddenly wrapped her arms around Selena, and that's when Selena just fell apart emotionally.

But the live-stream didn't catch what Joy actually did to Selena. Everett, acting fast, told Alex to buy up all the footage from every media outlet and have it scrutinized overnight.

Turns out, Joy whispered something to Selena during that hug.

But... the video was so grainy, you couldn't lip-read what she said.

Given how much it rattled Selena, it couldn't have been anything ordinary—it had to be something truly unsettling.

Piecing together Flynn's insights, Everett started putting the puzzle together.

Joy had been lurking around Selena for years; it seemed unlikely she hadn't done something during that time.

Everett thought hard about it. The only unresolved issue was that incident years ago when a guy hit a pregnant Selena with his car and then vanished. Despite constant digging, no leads ever came up.

Back then, everyone was focused on Margot, and even Selena thought she was behind it.

But now, considering everything, it seemed unlikely Margot would wait until Selena was pregnant if she was going to do something that drastic.

So... it seemed more likely that Joy was the one pulling the strings!

Alex reached out to Derick, who was on the case. Luckily, Derick was dependable. Even after being transferred, he never dropped the investigation.

They found the guy.

But...

Alex sighed, "On the way back, under Mr. Yang's watch, he went to the restroom and... vanished."

"Since it happened abroad, in Southeast Asia, we can't chase it down. But honestly, the timing is just too perfect; it's probably... a cover-up."

Everett's eyes narrowed, and he let out a cynical laugh.

"Definitely Abraham's handiwork."

From the moment Abraham got Joy out of jail, he was blatantly declaring war on Everett.

It felt like ages since she'd seen such a bright day. She squinted at the light, then moved to the window, opened it, and tilted her head back to soak in the warm sunshine.

After freshening up, she headed downstairs.

Ava, wiping her tears, said, "Ma'am, you're finally awake."

Selena offered a gentle smile, "Sorry for worrying you. By the way, where are the kids?"

Ava hesitated, then whispered, "They... Mr. Everett took them. He said... you weren't in the right state to look after them, so..."

Selena froze.

All those words she thought were just a nightmare.

They were real.

Selena's hands slowly clenched into fists.
