Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 507

Only one timid employee dared to chime in, "I guess I've seen this favored lady up close, and honestly, though it pains me to say, she's quite ordinary-looking, kind of plain…"

Everyone was in disbelief!

If she was just ordinary, why would Mr. Everett choose her? His exclusive affection! Something even the former Mrs. Bennett couldn't secure.

But with the internet being what it is, secrets don't last long, and those whispers soon spread far and wide...

Standing outside the glass window, Selena watched her uncle go through various tests, feeling a temporary relief.
