Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 688

The housekeeper had been waiting in the parking lot for what seemed like forever, but there was no sign of Selena. Her calls went unanswered, so she decided to check the restroom.

It was completely empty.

Sensing something was off, she quickly reported the situation to Ava, who was now in charge of the entire Irwin Estate.

Ava was baffled. How could someone just disappear into thin air? She ordered a review of the security footage, only to discover that the cameras in the restroom corridor had been tampered with, capturing nothing.

When something weird happens, there's bound to be trouble.

Ava didn't waste any time and immediately called Blaine. Of course, just when things couldn't get worse, his phone was off, and there was no way to reach him.

Ava paced the room, anxiety eating away at her.

As night fell, Mateo kept asking when his mom would be back. Ava couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth, so she held him close and reassured him.

She said that something had come up and that Selena would be back later.

It was hard to tell if she was comforting the child or herself.

Time dragged on, and after countless attempts to reach Blaine, Ava clenched her phone and called Everett.

Despite her dislike for Everett, desperate times called for desperate measures.

Nothing was more important than the lady of the house's safety.

...

Everett's health issues had taken a serious turn. Conservative treatment was basically a waiting game for the inevitable, like what happened with Josh. After heart failure, other organs would eventually fail too, leading to death.

The best option was to find another healthy heart.

Josh had given up due to his age, making him unsuitable for another transplant, but Everett was young and still had a future ahead of him.
