Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Reflecting on the recent events, Selena felt her joy crumble into pieces, leaving her feeling utterly foolish. "You used to keep your affairs hidden back home, and now, three years later, you've gotten cleverer- moving your little escapades overseas. If I hadn't shown up today, I'd still be in the dark, playing the fool!" "I've told you before, if you want to have flings outside, fine! Just keep it from me and the child.

Her face was ashen, and she was trembling all over.

No woman can endure such humiliation over and over.
