Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 599

Everett finally turned to face her.

His expression was still cold, his gaze unyielding. He looked at her and said, word by word, "The past means nothing to me now. I have a family. I'll repay your kindness with money, every last bit." "And I'll grant you one request. Think it over, and you can ask anytime."

Yasmine trembled, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, "Mr. Everett, what are you talking about... I've been waiting for you... How could you just brush me aside with money?"

"Don't you remember? You used to like me!"

Watching her dissolve into tears, Everett felt nothing. Not even a flicker of emotion.

That day in his office, when he picked up the jade pendant, he'd stared at it for a long time before locking it away. He thought finding the girl from his past would make him happy. But when it turned out to be Yasmine, all he felt was disappointment. Maybe she didn't match the image he'd built up in his mind, or maybe nostalgia had painted a prettier picture.

The shadowy figure in his memories didn't match the real Yasmine.

But maybe it was his heart that had changed. It had already made room for Selena, a woman who was anything but easygoing. He couldn't make space for anyone else, nor did he want to.
