Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 436

Late at night, Everett wandered into the master bedroom, now eerily empty. It used to feel cozy, but with Selena gone for just a day, the room felt unsettlingly quiet. His dark eyes swept over the room, taking in the absence of her presence.

The woman who adored money, who wouldn't lift a finger without payment, had left everything behind for another man. When she loved him, she was fiercely devoted.
