Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 675

"Selena, I'm really sorry, truly. I'm just so relieved you're okay. I don't know what I'd do if something had happened to you." Before Selena could reply, Ava jumped in, unable to hold back.

"Ms. Joy, sometimes you just don't know when to keep quiet."

Joy's face fell at being reprimanded by a maid, but she knew her words had caused this mess, so she took it on the chin. Seeing this, Selena didn’t say much either. She and Joy had been friends for years; she couldn't hold a grudge. Plus, the baby was born safe and sound, right?

Selena gently patted Joy’s hand and said, "How about you give my sister a nice big gift, and we’ll call it even?"

Joy finally smiled through her tears. She squeezed Selena's hand and promised, "Forget the gift, your child is like my own. I’ll pitch in for Mateo’s college fund and your sister's wedding too."

Selena chuckled softly, "Deal."

Joy lingered for a bit, reluctant to leave, but eventually, she did. Just as she stepped out, Alex showed up with bags full of supplements and gifts. Ava, already looking upset, seemed even more annoyed now.

She didn't even bother to fake a smile. Before Alex could step in, Ava blocked the door, coldly saying, "Go back and tell your boss my lady doesn't need any of this. He didn't show up when she needed him, and now he thinks this will make it right? That's a joke!"

Alex tried to keep a smile, "Ava, you've misunderstood. These are from me, not Mr. Everett."

Ava was clearly skeptical, but Selena spoke up, "Ava, let Alex in."
