Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 510

Everett raised an eyebrow.

Where did this little munchkin come from?

He settled into the sofa across from the kid, leaning back lazily, loosening his tie, and gave the child a once-over with casual curiosity.

Those eyes reminded him, if only for a moment, of a woman named Selena.

Over the years, Everett's demeanor had grown more reserved; he rarely smiled, and his presence carried an air of cold danger. Even the Bennett family's kids would shiver at the mere mention of his name, and the adults respected him but also tread lightly, avoiding direct eye contact.
