Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 883

Selena had a pretty good idea of what Abraham was about to say, but his words still hit her like a ton of bricks. His ambitions were sky-high. He wasn't just aiming to take Everett down; he wanted to swallow up Bennett Corporation whole.

She couldn't help but throw some cold water on his fiery plans. "Even if Everett bites the dust, the Bennett family has tons of heirs. Aren't you being a bit too cocky, Mr. Abraham?"

Abraham gave a slight smirk. "In this generation, apart from Everett, the rest aren't worth losing sleep over. Maybe the next generation, like your son, could shake things up, but he's just a kid. It'll be ages before he's in the picture."

Everett was a standout, while the rest of the family either wasted their wealth on fun and games or had dreams bigger than their abilities, leaving chaos in their wake. Without Everett as their anchor, the massive Bennett family would crumble in no time. Why else would they be so eager for Everett to tie the knot and start a family, to groom an heir?

After all, genetics can be quite dependable. More often than not, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Selena found herself speechless. Over the years of being married to Everett, she'd seen firsthand how few in the Bennett family could actually hold their own.

But still...

She spoke with a steady calm, "I sent Joy away, and yet you're still looking to team up with me? Doesn't that bother you?"

She knew how much Abraham cared for Joy.

Abraham's face remained unchanged. "Joy needed to learn a lesson for being reckless."

A shiver ran down Selena's spine. She'd underestimated Abraham. A man like him, willing to put everything on the line for success, even at the cost of family, was exactly the kind to reach the top.

Wasn't Everett the same way? His cold-hearted approach had made him a success in business, but in his personal life, he kept letting people down.

Levi nodded, "Got it."

Later that night, Everett dropped by to see the kids again. After spending some quality time with them and not spotting Selena, he asked his son about her whereabouts.

Mateo said, "Mom headed straight to the study to work as soon as she got back. She hasn't come out yet."

Everett ruffled his son's hair. "You take your sister to bed. I'll go check on your mom."
