Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 557

He didn't want to lose his cool or come off as desperate, so he finally stopped in his tracks.

"Selena."

His voice was raspy, "I'll wait until you're ready."

He was confident that day would come. No matter how intimidating Everett's glare was, he wasn't going to let him win, not this time.

The following morning, Yasmine swung by to pick up Jenny.

She had thoughtfully planned out an entire day for her. Morning was all about indulging in skin treatments, the afternoon was reserved for a relaxing spa, and by six in the evening, they’d hit the salon for a makeover, making sure she'd be the star of the evening.

Jenny was pretty pleased with the plan.

Even if this engagement was just for show, she still wanted to make a grand appearance.

Yasmine had a knack for making people feel special, always speaking in a warm and soothing tone, choosing her words so wisely that Jenny felt completely at ease after just half a day with her.

From then on, Jenny left everything to Yasmine, doing whatever she suggested.

When it came time to change into her dress, it was a bit loose at the waist. Yasmine quickly suggested she sit down with some herbal tea while she went to chat with the designer.

Jenny didn’t suspect a thing and nodded for her to go ahead.

To her surprise, after sipping down two cups of herbal tea, Yasmine was still nowhere to be seen.

Jenny glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 7:30, and the party was kicking off at 8. Arriving late as the “leading lady” of the engagement party would be a disaster.

If she messed this up, Everett would be livid.

Sensing something was off, Jenny rushed to the door, but it wouldn't budge—it was locked from the outside.
