Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 872

Everett was taken aback. Selena gently pulled her hand away, her eyes steady and her voice even calmer.

"I know what you're trying to say. You want to tell me that everything you did before was out of necessity, that those harsh words were just part of the plan to help me heal, and you've been secretly helping me all along."

"All that information from Holt, that was you, wasn't it? Even those bodyguards she brought in who were like Devin, that was your doing too. And yesterday, all those moves—you were there with me, right?"

After everything that had happened, Everett realized his wife was incredibly sharp. Even if she didn't get it at first, she'd eventually put the pieces together. After all, it would be quite a feat for Holt to pull off something so flawless on her own.

"Since you know all of this, then you—"

"Everett." Selena cut him off gently. "Have you ever thought that after all these years of being tangled up, we never managed to have a happy ending? Maybe... we're just not meant to be."

"Once, I loved you deeply. I gave everything, lost myself, became someone I didn't recognize, and still, I couldn't win your heart. Later on, when I finally gave up, you started clinging to me again. Eventually... you truly fell in love with me, and I wanted to try, to see if we could grow old together."

"And the result? It's always one thing or another, one person or another. We never seem to be on the same page."

Selena's eyes were full of deep sadness as she looked at him.
