Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 166

For three years of their marriage, Everett came home to mostly fulfil his physical desires. Their conversations mostly happened in bed, and they never really had a genuine heart-to-heart like any ordinary couple. But now, the scene unfolding before her felt dreamlike, almost too good to be true. She never imagined Everett would one day notice her sour mood, let alone soothe her with such tenderness. Her eyes softened. "Okay, I understand." She accepted his kindness this time.

She agreed with Everett's point that overindulging someone could backfire. If Claire acted out more recklessly, it would only lead to more harm, bringing even more distress to Brook and Ricky. It was better to seize this moment for some serious introspection.

"Selena, do you know how much I earn in a minute?" Everett asked suddenly.

Caught off guard, Selena instinctively replied, "How much?"

Everett threw out a ridiculously high number with a smug grin.

"...So what?" Selena asked, puzzled by his sudden boast. Was he just flaunting his wealth?

"I just spent ten minutes helping you out, which means I've effectively spent ten times that amount on you. How would you like to pay—PayPal or Apple Pay?" he said, taking his time. Then, with a playful touch, he added, "Since we're married, I can give you a 20% discount. Now, pay up."

Selena was speechless. For a moment, she thought he had changed, but it turned out he was still the same cutthroat capitalist, merciless as ever.

She was flat broke, with not a penny to her name. Even if she sold everything she had, it wouldn't cover the amount he mentioned.
