Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 484

After more than three years, Everett was still as stunning as ever. Time had only added a deeper layer of masculine allure to him, making him even more dazzling.

Selena hadn't been actively following his news, but after Everett took over the Bennett family business, it expanded impressively.
