Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 745

Frustrated beyond belief! Rhett was ready to fight for love, and he wasn't about to back down. He pushed Mateo off him, stood up, and casually brushed off his pants, as if shaking off any doubt.

He shot back, unfazed, "And how does Mr. Everett know that Mateo and Haley won't become my kids someday? As for my grandpa, that's none of Mr. Everett's business."

"My grandpa's pretty open-minded. As long as I bring home a girl I'm crazy about, he'll welcome her with open arms. And if I tie the knot with Selena, he'll suddenly have two ready-made great-grandkids. Far from being upset, he'd probably laugh himself awake in his sleep!"

Everett's lips tightened into a hard line. "Seems like last time didn't teach you enough, Mr. Young!"

Rhett stood firm. “Mr. Everett, I'll admit I can't match your strength. But let's not forget, brute force isn't going to win Selena's heart. We're not living in the Stone Age where might makes right."

"Besides, I'm pretty sure Selena's into a young, gentle, and loyal guy like me!"

Every word struck Everett right where it hurt. His face darkened, hands clenched so tightly he nearly tossed Rhett out then and there. But he kept his cool, especially here at Moon Bay, mindful of Selena's feelings.

Everett took a deep breath, deciding to ignore Rhett. He crouched down and reached out to Haley. "Haley, come to Daddy."
