Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 348

Everett gave a half-hearted smile, one that barely touched his eyes.

He looked down at her, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he asked, “You really don't know if there's a place for you in my heart?”

Margot felt a sting in his words, shaking her head in disbelief.

“You've always been so good to me. Whatever I needed, you provided. When I was sick or hurting, you cared. In dangerous times, you always chose me. There's no way all that was without love!”

“Everett, you do love me. You're just too stubborn to admit it.”

Everett pushed her hand away with no kindness.

“You’re delusional.”

He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully cleaning his long, elegant fingers, as he continued to crush her dreams.

“It’s not depression; it’s delusion!”

“I’ll say it one last time; everything I’ve done was to keep a promise. Not to you, but to him. He’s the one who truly loves you!”

Him.

Margot knew exactly who he meant—Everett's half-brother, the Bennett family’s well-kept secret and scandal, the almost forgotten illegitimate son, William.

She was William’s first love, the woman he cherished most in his short life.

But... she didn’t love him. She loved the idea of being the Bennett family’s princess, the title of Mrs. Bennett!

If William hadn’t led her to believe he was the real heir, she never would've gotten involved with him, never made him fall head over heels for her.
