Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 520

Selena was still trying to wrap her head around the shocking news. Her emotions were all over the place-surprised, angry, and a tangled mess of feelings she couldn't even begin to describe. Meanwhile, Everett had reached his limit. He was done waiting. He'd been waiting far too long...
