Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 482

Everett clutched his phone, his grip tight as he forced himself to scroll through every single message they’d exchanged. His forehead was pulsing with tension, each breath growing heavier than the last.

Beyond the shocking photos and taunting words, there were her relentless jabs and mockery aimed at Selena. Not to mention the subtle hints that Margot was the woman he truly loved. She even suggested that Selena, his rightful wife, should gracefully bow out, claiming he’d already bought a ring to propose to her.

In his saved messages, Everett stumbled upon two voice recordings from Selena. The first captured her interview with Margot, where Margot spun outrageous lies right to her face. That was the turning point, when Selena resolutely contemplated divorce. The second recording was a café chat, where Margot revealed a certain medication was harmful to children, pinning the blame on Everett. This led Selena to think he wanted to harm their child, paving the way for Margot to step in.

Because of all this, Margot lost her child, and in his misguided attempt to ease her pain, Everett had abandoned Selena... No wonder Selena wouldn’t believe him, despite his insistence that there was nothing between him and Margot, that she was the only woman for him. Margot had been pulling strings behind the scenes all along.

How could she have the nerve?

Half an hour later, the grand doors of the villa swung open. Margot looked up to see Everett striding through the rain, his tall, striking figure cutting through the storm like a leading man straight out of a Western drama, complete with an imaginary soundtrack, seemingly there to save her.

Her heart leapt with joy. She knew Everett couldn’t possibly leave her high and dry. She was his responsibility for life.

Margot wobbled towards him, sweetly calling his name. “Everett... ah...”

In the blink of an eye, his large hand clamped around her throat, lifting her off the ground. Thunder crashed, lighting up his face. That’s when Margot realized this wasn’t a prince coming to her rescue, but a demon straight out of hell.

A suffocating panic set in, and she struggled with all her might. “Everett... what’s happened to you?”
