Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 279

Selena was about ready to lose her cool over Margot's nonsense. Moments ago, she wished Jimmy had just shut her up for good. She leaned in, her voice a sharp whisper, "If you want to stay alive, zip it!" "Selena, you're just upset because Everett didn't choose you. Now you want to take me and my kid down with you? Think again!" Margot shot back relentlessly.

Her yelling only fueled Jimmy's rage, making him attack more fiercely. The two bodyguards, already nursing injuries, were having a hard time keeping up with his wild swings. But they held their ground, buying the women some precious time. Meanwhile, the rope holding Selena was fraying bit by bit, swinging her dangerously as gravity took its toll.

If Jimmy wasn't stopped soon, that rope wouldn't hold much longer...

Cold sweat dripped down Selena's face as she silently begged for some heavenly intervention for her and her unborn child.

But mercy didn't show up.

The rope gave way suddenly, and Selena plummeted. Everything went blank as she instinctively shielded her belly.

Just then, Everett and the others burst into the warehouse, catching the scene unfolding.

Without a second thought, Everett dashed forward, catching Selena mid-fall in his arms.

They both hit a pile of discarded sandbags hard, rolling a few times before coming to a rest. "Mr. Everett!"

"Mrs. Bennett!"

Gasps filled the room as everyone rushed to help.

Seeing both of them knocked out, tears sprang from Derick's eyes. "Call an ambulance, quick!"
