Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 615 He listened to Alex's report at the door and quickly made his way back inside.

"Selena," he said, his voice gentle but firm, "I've got some work stuff to handle. It's late, and this snow isn't letting up anytime soon. Please, just stay put and rest until I get back."

He paused, pressing his lips together like he was sealing a promise. "When I get back, I'll explain everything, okay?"

Selena didn't say a word.

Everett swallowed hard, struggling with his words. "Selena, please, don't make me worry. I'll be back as fast as I can. Even if it feels like I'm on trial, I deserve a chance to explain myself, right?"

With that, he leaned in, aiming for a quick kiss on her cheek.

Selena turned her face away. "Just go."

Her tone was as cold as the snow outside, but Everett knew she was letting him go.

Feeling a bit of relief, he wrapped his arms around her waist, gave her lips a soft kiss, and then turned on his heel, striding out the door.

In the elevator, Everett's face was calm, but his mind was racing.

His dark eyes narrowed as he instructed, "Make sure Yasmine is sent to the estate. She shouldn't come near Selena, and keep her quiet."

Alex nodded, "Got it."
