Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 634

Bradley took a deep breath, nodding one moment and shaking his head the next.

Everett impatiently tapped his fingers on the table. "Come on, cut to the chase—just tell me what's going on!"

He was clearly in a foul mood, his whole posture radiating tension.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Bradley started spilling everything he knew.

"Mr. Everett, you might not be aware, but Blaine is quite the infamous character in the legal world. They call him a rogue lawyer."

"When I say rogue, I mean he's willing to do whatever it takes to win. His wins are often unexpected, and his methods aren't exactly above board. He shot to fame a few years back, especially after that notorious French inheritance case."

"The wealthiest man in France had nine sons, and Blaine backed this low-key illegitimate one. He helped him outmaneuver all the legitimate heirs, and in the end, that illegitimate son snagged the inheritance. That's how Blaine made his name."

"Nobody knows much about his background—it's supposed to be really tangled. People like him are dangerous. How on earth did Mrs. Everett get mixed up with someone like that?"

Bradley, coming from a top-tier law school, wasn't scared of tough opponents, but he dreaded those who ignored the rules, exploited loopholes, and skirted the edges of legality.

It's like a scholar running into a street fighter—completely mismatched!

Everett's brow furrowed as he picked up the file, staring hard at Blaine's photo.

It was the guy who had dropped Selena home last night!

The way he looked at Selena was anything but casual.

Everett's hand clenched tightly around the papers.

As the evening wore on, the sky was painted with a fiery sunset.

Selena picked up her son and got back home to find Everett already there.

He stood by the large window in the living room, hands shoved in his pockets, brow furrowed, his profile tense and sharp.

Mateo ran over, shouting, "Daddy!"

Everett snapped out of his thoughts, his expression softening a bit when he saw his son. He crouched down to hug him, asking gently about his day at school.

Mateo adored his dad, wrapping his little arms around Everett's neck, eager to share his day's stories.
