Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 429

You'd think escaping such a toxic environment would be something friends would cheer for, even Ava, the housekeeper, was thrilled for her. "Of course not."

Joy's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly put on a smile, playfully pouting, "I just can't stand the thought of you leaving. Who knows when you'll be back?" "Oh, come on, it's not a big deal."

Selena chuckled, giving her cheek a gentle pinch. "With the internet nowadays, we can keep in touch no matter where we are. It's not like we're completely cut off."

Mrs. Bennett's position wouldn't stay open forever. He'd find someone else, maybe Margot, or some other high-society lady.
