Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 740

After a long silence, Everett finally broke it.

His voice was laced with disapproval, even a touch of frost. "Selena, you're being too harsh."

Selena was taken aback.

Her, harsh?

Well, of course. Everett didn't have feelings for her anymore, so why would he take her side? Joy had grown up with him, practically like a sister, and now she was his soon-to-be fiancée. Naturally, he'd lean her way.

"So, Everett, does this make you feel guilty?"

No woman willingly turns into a hysterical mess. She wanted to stay dignified and graceful, but he always managed to push her to the edge, making her lose

herself.

"Selena, don't twist my words. I'm trying to talk sense here."

Everett's tone was calm. "You say Yasmine's incident is tied to Joy-where's your proof? You can't just accuse someone with words. Besides, I haven't agreed to any engagement yet. Since we have an agreement for the week, you should stick to it."

"Aren't you just using my interest to force my hand?"
