Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 286

Love?

Everett heard the word like it was some kind of joke, turning around to look down at Selena, her eyes shimmering with tears. His features were sharp and handsome, but his expression was all mockery and indifference.

He softly parted his lips, "Selena, how can you still be going on about love? It's ridiculous!"

"In marriages like ours, it's all about the benefits. You're talking love to me? That's hilarious!"

Selena's dark eyes widened in disbelief, as if only now, at this moment, she truly saw the man in front of her for who he really was.

Everett sighed, like he pitied her for being so naive, his hand gently caressing her face, his lips brushing close to her ear. His words might have sounded like a lover's whisper, but they were cold as ice.

"Selena, get this straight: I will never fall in love with you, but... you're my Mrs. Bennett, and you will be for life!"

Selena was beyond furious. He had shattered the love she held dear and robbed her of three years of her youth, yet he still wanted to lock her away in this marriage forever. Who was Jimmy compared to Everett? Everett was the real villain!

She shook with anger, her eyes burning red, "Don't you dare! I'll divorce you!"

She had grown up in a family full of love, cherished by her parents and grandmother, and even after they were gone, her uncle and Ricky had loved her dearly. She believed in all the goodness the world had to offer and in finding her own true love.

So, she couldn't accept living the rest of her life in a fog, nor could she let her children be born into a loveless home.

Everett's patience snapped, his emotions spiraling out of control. He couldn't stand to hear another word from her that he didn't want to hear!
