Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 598

Yasmine tried to prop herself up with a burst of excitement, but the movement tugged at her wound, making her already pale face go even whiter.

Everett walked in, his dark eyes giving her a quick once-over. Instead of helping, he nodded towards Alex.

Catching on, Alex stepped up and gently offered a hand. "Ms. Yasmine, you're really banged up. Moving around isn't the best idea-you'll only end up hurting yourself more. It's just not worth it." Yasmine's face stiffened. She couldn't ignore the sarcasm in Alex's tone, implying she was on her own.

But what did Alex know?

She was Everett's long-lost "moonlight," the one he'd been searching for. She mattered to him now.

Everett settled into the sofa, his long legs crossed gracefully, his white shirt crisp, and his features striking. Just sitting there, he was like a piece of art.

Yasmine was captivated, the pain from her wound fading into the background.

"You wanted to see me, and here I am. Go on," he said, his voice cool, cutting through her daydreams.

Yasmine gently bit her lower lip, searching for any sign of emotion on Everett's face, but found none. But then again, this was Everett.

You couldn't easily peek into his heart. He was always so reserved and mysterious.
