Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 223

Nadia clutched her face, absolutely stunned. "You witch, how dare you slap me?" Her voice, usually sharp, was now even more piercing. Selena smirked, not missing a beat as she slapped her again, making sure to balance it out on both sides. "That's what you get for running your mouth!"

After those two slaps, Nadia was seeing stars, her mind in a fog. Humiliated and furious, she couldn't care less about where they were. She jabbed her finger at Selena, spitting out curses. "You're such a harpy. No wonder Everett can't stand coming home!" "Marrying you was the biggest mistake he ever made!"

"If you had any self-respect, you'd stop clinging to Everett. He's sick of you! He wants someone gentle and thoughtful, like me!"

Even though Nadia was making a big scene, the truth was that she and Everett hadn't gone anywhere beyond that one night. He hadn't even stepped foot into her apartment!

That night, as they got into the elevator, he leaned back against the wall, eyes on the wedding ring on his finger. Then, out of the blue, he said he had something urgent to deal with and walked out of the elevator, ignoring her pleas to stay.

She couldn't stand the idea of Everett slipping through her fingers. She vowed to win him over and thought he might still care about his married status because, as the CEO of Bennett Corporation, reputation was everything. So, she was more than willing to deal with Mrs. Bennett first.

She tipped off the paparazzi to expose the affair, making sure Selena saw it and realized her husband's heart was elsewhere. Once the news blew up, she'd confront Selena.

She'd done her homework and knew Selena was hopelessly in love with Everett. So, Nadia crafted a tale of true love between her and Everett, hoping to push Selena to back off.
