Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Drops of hot water trickled down Everett's cheeks, leaving a rosy tint on his fair skin. His handsome face was stormy and intense as he suddenly stood, fixing Selena with a gaze that could cut glass. Fury brewed in his eyes, and the air around them was chilled to the bone. Selena, surprisingly bold, held his gaze without flinching. She stood tall, her neck stiff with defiance, and her resolve was unwavering despite the redness around her eyes.

"Everett, I'm done with your money. I'll draft a new divorce agreement. If you're man enough, just sign it. Let's get the divorce and go our separate ways. You'll live your life, and I'll live mine. We're done here!"

She slammed the water glass onto the table, ignoring Everett's thunderous expression, and strutted out with her head high, her heels clicking sharply on the floor.

Behind her, Everett's fist tightened, the veins on his hand standing out like ropes.

A few moments later, the office door swung open again. Without looking up, Everett sneered, "Selena, it's too late to have regrets now..."

But instead of Selena's usual meek apology, a voice full of amusement chimed in. "Dude, did I just see your feisty little wife throw water on you and demand a divorce? Is that really Selena, or am I still tipsy from last night?"

The man slapped his forehead in disbelief. Even though he had witnessed it all from outside the door, he still couldn't wrap his head around it.

Everett looked up coldly at the newcomer.

The man was strikingly good-looking. His eyes always had a touch of mischief and flirty affection. This was Jaime, Everett's childhood friend and the heir to the Landon Corporation.

Everett wiped his face with a tissue, crumpled it, and tossed it into the trash, scoffing dismissively. "She's just playing hard to get."

Jaime rubbed his chin, clearly skeptical. "I don't think so. She's never gone this far before."
