Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 566

"She probably hasn't gone far. If Mr. Everett wants to catch up, he's still got time."

Everett wasn't bothered in the slightest; in fact, he seemed to be soaking up her little fit of jealousy. He pulled her in closer, his eyes full of meaning. "Don't you know where my heart truly lies, Mrs. Bennett?"

She couldn't care less where his heart lay. If it weren't for little Mateo, she wouldn't have been here at all.

"Mommy!"

Little Mateo, with his tiny legs pumping, broke through the crowd and dashed over, flinging himself into his mother's arms, his eyes red from crying. Selena crouched down and scooped him up, covering his little face with kisses.

No mother could stand by and watch her child suffer without doing something, even if it meant sacrificing herself.

Seeing the three of them together was truly heartwarming.

Selena was no longer the timid, unremarkable Mrs. Bennett of the past. Now, she shone brightly, exuding presence and determination. She had transformed from a young woman into a mature one, ready to take on the role of the Bennett family's matriarch. Just moments ago, she had effortlessly handled the woman outside with a few choice words, not even causing a ripple.
