Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 573

She arched an eyebrow playfully and quipped, "Looks like Mr. Everett isn't incapable, just selective about who he shows it to..." Selena was left speechless.

Everett shot Jenny a cold glare, gritting his teeth as he snapped, "Cut the nonsense!"

Jenny, at the sharpness in his voice, quickly ducked into Selena's arms, whining, "See, sis-in-law, Mr. Everett is picking on me!"

Selena was taken aback by Jenny's personality. She had expected a haughty heiress, but Jenny came across as an endearingly naive girl. It was clear she had been raised in a warm, nurturing environment, cherished by her family, which had shaped her playful demeanor. Selena herself might have been similar once upon a time.

A gentle smile crept onto Selena's face without her realizing it.

Seeing her smile, the tension that had been building in Everett's chest all evening eased a bit. Maybe Jenny wasn't entirely useless after all.

He pulled out a credit card, placed it on the coffee table, and said coolly, "Your job's done. I'll have Alex arrange for you to leave."

Jenny, not one to stand on ceremony, grabbed the card and kissed it with a smile.

Turning to Selena, she exclaimed, "Sis-in-law, this is the first time I've earned money on my own-it feels amazing!"

Selena was caught off guard. "So, how did you get by before?"

As Jenny tucked the card away, she replied, "My dream life is to rely on my dad when I'm young, my husband when I'm married, and my son when I'm old! Making money myself is too exhausting!" Selena couldn't help but laugh. It was blunt, but it made sense.
