Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 275

Jimmy shoved the camera right up close to Selena and Margot, making sure Everett could see every bit of their panic and confusion. "Come on, call out to your man! Where's all that fire from the hospital room? Cat got your tongue now?" Jimmy's voice dripped with mockery, his expression wild and unhinged. A gnarly scar ran from his left temple to his right ear, making his face look like it was split in two. With the dim lighting, he seemed more like a ghost out for revenge, truly terrifying. As he moved closer, Margot, scared out of her mind, cried out to Everett on the screen, "Everett, save me! Save the baby, save me, please!" Her terror was real, her cries growing louder and more piercing by the second, grating on Jimmy's nerves. Furious, he grabbed Margot and slapped her hard.

"Shut it, woman! I said talk, not scream your head off. Keep quiet!" Margot's head spun, her cheek swelled, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth. She had never been treated like this before, and the pain was intense. But she dared not make another sound, biting her lip to hold back the pain.

Yet, her eyes stayed locked on the phone camera. She couldn't let herself die-not without truly living. Everett was her last hope.

In contrast to Margot's cries, Selena was eerily silent. Her face was pale, her lips drained of color, but she didn't shed a tear or utter a word.

Jimmy's gaze shifted to her, suddenly intrigued. He had always found her captivating and preferred Selena's cool, stubborn beauty to Margot's more obvious charms. Conquering someone like Selena was the real thrill.

But like many before him, he couldn't resist a beautiful woman's allure, which was how he ended up here. Reflecting on this, his expression turned vicious as he lifted Selena's chin with a finger, sneering, "What's got you so quiet? Think you're too good for me, or just too proud to be scared?"

He paused, then added with a mocking laugh. "Or maybe you think your husband won't pick you?"

His words pierced Selena's heart like needles. They were harsh but with a ring of truth...
