Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena's eyes sparkled with excitement. "If you are on board, I'm definitely not saying no!"

Everett kept his expression neutral. "Keep going."

"Second, let's leave my family out of this. From now on, don't drag them into our issues to pressure me into doing things I don't want."

It hit her like a bolt from the blue. Even if Sydney looked down on her, she wasn't the type to reject an apology so stubbornly.

Plus, her uncle's embezzlement wasn't a new problem. Everett had let it slide and collected evidence each time, clearly saving it to use against her eventually. Maybe this was all a setup for Margot to make an entrance, but her sudden divorce plan threw a wrench in his works, making him play his ace too soon.

All for true love, huh? Quite the calculated move. A wave of bitterness washed over Selena.

Everett tapped his fingers lightly on the desk before speaking. "And the third condition?"

"The third," Selena said with a sly smile. "If we're talking about divorcing in six months, I'm not leaving empty-handed. But don't worry, I don't want half of everything. Just give me five percent of the shares in Bennett Corporation."

Everett might've been tough, but she couldn't deny his talent. Under his management, Bennett Corporation was flourishing. Even a small share would ensure she lived comfortably off the dividends.
