Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 794

The phone had been ringing for quite a while before Everett finally picked it up. He wandered over to the floor-to-ceiling window, phone in hand.

It was Carolina on the line, asking him to swing by the family estate that evening.

At eight sharp, a sleek black Bugatti eased into the Bennett family estate.

Everett strolled inside to see Carolina wrapped in a light shawl, gazing at the moon through the window. At the sound of footsteps, she turned around.

“You’re back. Have a seat.”

Carolina motioned to the housekeeper, “Bring some tea, please.”

Everett, hands tucked into his pockets, stayed on his feet, not taking the offer.

His voice was as cool as ever, “Mother, if there’s something to say, just say it. I’ve got a mountain of work at the office and can’t stick around.”

Carolina was onto him. She knew it was just a flimsy excuse.

He wasn’t rushing off because of work—no, it was all about meeting up with that woman, Selena!

Her expression darkened as she sat down and tossed an MP3 player onto the coffee table. “Listen to this first.”

Everett glanced at it sideways but didn’t budge.

Carolina let out a sigh, “It won’t take long, I promise!”

Eventually, Everett sat down. As the housekeeper served the tea, he took a sip, then leisurely picked up the MP3 player and clicked it on.

Selena’s familiar voice filled the room.

It was the voice of the woman he couldn’t get enough of these days.

Cool, aloof, and utterly nonchalant.

But when her indifference was aimed at him, it stung more than he cared to admit.

Carolina sipped her herbal tea, watching her son closely.
