Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 158

Selena's legs turned to jelly, and she stumbled slightly, only for Everett to swoop in, wrap his long arms around her waist, and pull her close, letting her lean against him.

Nearby, Kaylee rushed over to help her husband, tears streaming down her face. She shot an angry glare at Everett, "Who do you think you are, barging in here and attacking my husband? This is a family matter, and I'm calling the cops on you!" Everett, unfazed, dropped his gaze lazily. He eyed Kaylee, who was making a scene, before turning his attention to Claire.

Claire, who had been coolly sipping her coffee just moments earlier, was now in a tizzy, having knocked over her cup. She stood there, flustered, nervously rubbing her hands on her pants.

"Ask her who I am and whether I have a say in this family drama!" Everett said coolly.

Kaylee spun around to challenge Claire, "Claire, your brother's been beaten up, and you're just standing there doing nothing!"

"H-he's... he's Mr. Bennett, Selena's husband..." Claire stammered, her voice barely a whisper, tinged with fear and guilt.

Everyone was stunned. Wasn't Selena supposed to be out of favor? Why would Mr. Bennett show up and protect her so fiercely?
