Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 673

She spent her whole life chasing after her husband's love, but never caught it, which left her bitter towards everyone around her. She had a grudge against Josh and even against her own son. Her misery made her wish everyone else would be just as miserable, stuck in the same cold, unfeeling world she lived in.

Carolina brushed off her son's sarcastic comments like they were nothing. She pretended not to notice, and once she figured out Everett wasn't interested in Selena anymore, she stopped pushing. Instead, she waved over a young woman with a smile.

Theresa was stunning, carrying herself with a confident grace. Her eyes held a hint of admiration and affection for Everett, but she wasn't shy about it. She raised her champagne glass to him with ease.

"Mr. Everett, I'm Theresa. It's a pleasure to finally meet you," she said, her voice steady.

Everett, always the gentleman, raised his glass and gently clinked it against hers. "Ms. Theresa, the pleasure's all mine," he replied.
