Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 473

Everett's brow furrowed, "Even if there's nothing romantic going on?"

Alex replied, "You have to be clear about it. Convincing your partner is crucial, you know? People can't read minds."

Everett pressed his lips together and, without further questions, instructed, "Check on Selena's flight right away."

"Got it."

The black Bentley sped off like a cheetah, quickly disappearing down the road.

Alex was on it in no time; about half an hour later, she called back.

Everett, wearing a Bluetooth earpiece, answered, "Go ahead."

"Mr. Everett, I've confirmed that her flight is set for ten..."

Just as the car approached an intersection, a massive truck from the right came hurtling toward them, ignoring the red light, and showed no signs of stopping.

There was a thunderous crash.

The truck slammed into Everett's car with a deafening noise, tires screeching as it was dragged a good distance, leaving the vehicle badly damaged.

The impact wedged Everett against the crushed driver's seat, his forehead hitting the window hard, blood instantly streaming down.

Alex was frozen with fear, almost unable to breathe, "Mr. Everett? Mr. Everett... What happened? Mr. Everett... Please, don't scare me... Mr. Everett!"

Silence hung heavily for what felt like an eternity.

Alex, her limbs weak but her mind racing, guessed it was a car accident. Luckily, the car had a tracking system; she needed to call for an ambulance immediately!
