Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 715

Mateo and Ava clearly had a field day exaggerating yesterday's events to Selena, yet she seemed totally unfazed. Here's Selena, always going on about how she wants to get back with him, claiming she still has feelings for him. But her actions? They tell a completely different story. She won't let him touch her, bursts into tears at the slightest contact, and lets him take their son without a peep, never checking in afterward. And somehow, he's the one labeled as cold-hearted? Who's really the aloof one here?

If Selena truly cared about him and their son, she wouldn't have turned down his suggestion. If she had any sense, she'd follow him back to Newport, let them rekindle things for a bit. If she could make him happy, he'd naturally reconsider their relationship. But she just flat-out refused without a second thought. So, he wasn't about to cater to her whims.

Knock, knock—Alex walked in. She handed Everett the documents to sign. As he nonchalantly capped his pen, he asked, "Has Selena been in touch?" He knew Selena and Alex had gotten pretty close over the past year. Maybe she was playing hard to get again.

Alex was caught off guard, worried Everett might think she was plotting with his wife and give her the boot. She shook her head like crazy, quickly assuring him of her loyalty. "No, Mr. Everett! I barely chat with Mrs. Bennett in private. My loyalty to you is as clear as day!"

Everett's assumption missed the mark, and with a frosty look, he snapped, "Am I paying you to perform? Get out!" Alex was left wondering, what was that all about? She'd already distanced herself, wasn't that enough? Was he really gonna fire her? Oh, how she longed for the old, warm-hearted Mr. Everett. This current version was downright frustrating! She held her tongue and slipped out quickly.
