Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 222

That night, Everett didn't come home. Selena finally enjoyed a rare good night's sleep without his relentless demands. She woke up well past sunrise.

When she headed downstairs for lunch, she noticed Ava acting a bit off. Curious, Selena asked what was going on, but Ava just shook her head and said it was nothing, diving into some busywork to avoid the topic. Selena didn't push further, but her instincts tingled when she saw the newspapers and magazines had all mysteriously disappeared. Something was definitely up.

After lunch, she took her time wandering through the little garden, feeding the koi in the pond before heading back upstairs. Once in her room, she settled onto the couch with her iPad, casually scrolling through social media.

She didn't even have to look hard; the news was everywhere. Everett had been seen sneaking back to the apartment of a rising starlet in the middle of the night, igniting rumors of a fresh romance.

Selena was caught off guard, not by the scandal itself, but by the fact that Everett's latest fling was someone new - it had always been Margot before! No wonder he hadn't come home; he'd spent the night at his new crush's place.
