Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 507

Only one timid employee dared to chime in, "I guess I've seen this favored lady up close, and honestly, though it pains me to say, she's quite ordinary-looking, kind of plain..." Everyone was in disbelief!

If she was just ordinary, why would Mr. Everett choose her? His exclusive affection! Something even the former Mrs. Bennett couldn't secure. Unfortunately, without pictures, there's no proof, which led to all sorts of speculation. But with the internet being what it is, secrets don't last long, and those whispers soon spread far and wide...

Meanwhile, Alex had no clue about all this gossip. She had brought Yasmine to the CEO's office, offered her a glass of warm water, and asked her to wait while she headed off to a meeting with some documents. At first, Yasmine sat on the sofa, stiff and silent, just waiting. But as time ticked by, she began to look around slowly.

She knew Mr. Everett was the famous head of the Bennett family, the wealthiest clan in Newport-a man with endless riches. Even the villa she lived in was so lavish it took her breath away. But seeing the towering Bennett Corporation building gave her a real sense of what wealth meant for the first time. Mr. Everett's power and fortune were beyond anything she could imagine. And yet, here she was, crossing paths with such a man! Suddenly, she clutched her chest as her heart pounded wildly, echoing in her ears. It felt as if she had stumbled into Alice's Wonderland-everything seemed surreal yet so beautifully enchanting that she wished she could just dive into it...

Selena tried calling Dr. Fernando's private number again, and this time, he answered. They exchanged some polite chit-chat, and he gave a vague reason for being unavailable. Selena, reading between the lines, let it slide with a smile. That afternoon, Brook was admitted to Dr. Fernando's hospital, where the whole team took over his care. Standing outside the glass window, Selena watched her uncle go through various tests, feeling a temporary relief.
