Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 320

People gathered around, all talking at once, trying to piece together how two pregnant women ended up in a heated argument that turned physical, leaving one of them sprawled on the ground.

The crowd's whispers painted Selena as the culprit, having supposedly pushed Margot, who lay there looking every bit the victim, naturally drawing sympathy.

Margot clutched her belly dramatically, crying out, "Selena, you're about to be a mom too, how could you be so cruel... sniff, sniff..."

A sharp-eyed bystander recognized Margot, the famous pianist, and was overcome with righteous indignation, shouting, "You heartless villain! Beautiful on the outside but cold as ice inside. I'm going to make sure everyone knows what you did!"

They quickly whipped out their phone to record Selena.

But Selena stood her ground, not flinching, meeting the camera's gaze with steady eyes. "Did you actually see me push her? Do you have proof? If not, you're making things up and violating my privacy. Spread lies online, and I'll see you in court."

The person, surprised by her brazen confidence, muttered, "Rich folks always think they can scare people with lawsuits. You think I’m afraid of you?"

Despite their bluster, the phone was tucked away.

Others also discreetly shifted their attention, realizing no viral video was worth a lawsuit.

Only then did Selena turn her gaze to Everett, who had been silently watching the whole scene. His eyes were dark and unreadable, his lips set in a thin line, his presence almost suffocating.

Selena swallowed hard.

She wasn’t sure what he believed—did he think she had really pushed Margot, or did he trust her?
