Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

As Joy kept acting out of character, pushing Selena's buttons, Selena couldn't help but think there was a reason behind it. Joy never did things on a whim.

Even though Selena didn't catch on at first, it hit her like a bolt out of the blue. Joy was shocked, not expecting Selena to catch on so quickly.

Seeing Joy's surprise, Selena knew she had guessed right. A sly grin crept onto her face. "Well then, that's even better."

"Depression can lead to a mental breakdown. In such a shaky state, even if I did something to you, I'd get away with it, wouldn't I? Plus, I've got the best lawyer, my uncle Blaine, who's so good he could make people believe the dead are still alive."

Selena suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Joy by the hair, and slammed her against the wall.

Joy screamed, "Selena, don't you dare! Try laying a hand on me!"

Selena's face was a mask of calm. "Try me."

She yanked Joy's hair again, banging her head against the wall with a thud.

Joy felt dizzy. "Ah-Selena, you're crazy!"

Joy struggled fiercely, but Selena let her go abruptly, causing Joy to hit the floor, a mess of limbs and hair.

Selena looked down at her with a smirk. "Joy, if that's your best, you might want to practice a little more."

Just then, Holt burst in.

She scanned Selena anxiously, still catching her breath. "Miss, are you okay?"

Selena shook her head gently. "I'm fine. Let's go."

Holt quickly helped her out, leaving Joy behind without a second look.

Joy lay there for a while before she managed to get up, her pretty face twisted with rage.

She had planned for Selena to lose it in front of everyone, not to lash out at her!

Damn Selena!!

Let's see how long you can keep this up.

As they left, they walked past the ballroom, where a lively dance was underway.

Everett was twirling Breanne around, his arm snug around her waist. Breanne clung to him like she was staking her claim, eager to show the world Everett was hers!

Selena gave them a quick glance, then looked away and walked out.

Little did she know, the moment she left the ballroom, Everett let go of Breanne and walked off the floor.noveldrama

Breanne was left there, stunned.

She quickly picked up her dress and hurried after him. "Mr. Everett, what's wrong~"

She reached for his arm, trying to

act coy but his dark eyes gavenet

look that made her pull back fast.

Everett didn't bother explaining, just kept walking away with long strides.

Breanne watched him go, puzzled.

It was strange.

Mr. Everett had been all sweet and caring, but he ran hot and cold.

Every night at the villa, he was full of passion, with a quirky twist-he loved role-playing, always with a

dson, and never let her turn on

the lights.

But come daylight, he was distant and unapproachable, so much so that she didn't dare flirt.

Was he just shy, or did he not care at all?

He hadn't even stepped in when Selena was being mean to her!

While Breanne was sulking, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, her expression shifted quickly. She found a quiet corner to

pick up.

Her voice turned respectful. "Hello, Mr. Abraham."
