Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Everett was taking a leisurely stroll along the garden path, heading towards the restroom, when he caught sight of Selena. She was leaning against a park bench, her brow slightly furrowed, as if something was on her mind.

With a purposeful stride, Everett moved towards her, gently placing his hands on her slender shoulders. "Selena, what's going on? Are you feeling alright?"

Selena's thick lashes fluttered for a moment as she looked up at him. In an instant, she managed to flash a carefree smile.

"Oh, nothing. Just thought the view was nice here and wanted to soak it in for a bit."

"Is that so?"

Before Everett could dig any deeper, Selena swiftly changed the topic. "Is the game over? Did you guys win?"

"Absolutely. Today's trophy is Mateo's."

Everett wrapped an arm around her waist, his fingers playfully brushing her nose. "Is there a prize for that victory?"

Selena knew exactly what he was hinting at. She pretended to misunderstand, "Of course! Mateo did so well; he deserves the latest action figure."

Everett feigned annoyance and leaned down, giving her lips a playful nibble. "You're always teasing me."noveldrama

The family day wrapped up perfectly, with Mateo clutching his trophy, grinning from ear to ear. Selena ruffled his hair, her eyes glowing with motherly affection.

Once back at the villa, Mateo hopped out of the car, bursting inside to brag to Ava, while Everett, with work still calling, gently touched Selena's face, whispered a few things, and then drove off.

As the black Bentley disappeared down the road, Selena's calm smile faded. She pulled out her phone and dialed Blaine.

The call was quickly picked up, and she got straight to the point, "Blaine, what's the deal? Why didn't Yasmine make an appearance?"

Yasmine's car had tailed them to the school, lurking in the shadows and keeping an eye on her. Selena had split from the crowd to give Yasmine a chance to make her move. Yet, she waited by the roadside for ages, only for Everett to come across her instead.

Could it be that Yasmine sensed something was off and decided to back off?

Blaine soon provided some clarity. "Yasmine was definitely planning to make a move, but right as she was about to act, someone carrying a huge banner walked by, blocking my view By the time it cleared, she was gone." Content belon to

"I thought it was fishy too, so I tracked her car. She left the school, hit the highway, and now she's heading towards the airport."

This sudden change...

Given Yasmine's wits, it seemed unlikely she'd back down at such a crucial moment. There was only one reasonable explanation. Someone must be guiding her from behind the scenes!

But who?

Could it be... Everett? Could he have sensed something was up, stopped Yasmine, and sent her back to France to protect Selena? The 'business matter' could be him escorting Yasmine to the airport.

Selena's grip on her phone tightened, her voice steady but firm, "Blaine, keep tabs on Yasmine's car and send me her location. I'm on my way to meet you." Blaine responded, "Got it."

Having set things in motion, there was no turning back. She wouldn't let Yasmine roam free anymore!

...

Yasmine didn't head to the airport. She took an exit earlier and drove to a secluded resort in the suburbs.

After parking, she took the elevator up and swiped her card to enter a suite. She'd barely stepped inside when a stap landed on her face, knocking her off balance and
