Chapter 925

"Even if she never marries again, I'll take care of her for the rest of her life. And if she decides to remarry, I'll make sure she has a generous dowry. As her ex- husband, you really don't need to worry about her anymore."

Each word felt like a needle, piercing Everett's heart with ruthless precision.

The worst part? This was coming from Selena's family, leaving Everett powerless to respond.

After signing the agreement, Blaine sauntered off, leaving Everett to return to his office and throw the contract onto his desk in frustration.

Alex watched from a distance, feeling a mix of fear and apprehension.

She had warned the boss not to mess things up, but he hadn't listened. Now, karma seemed to be catching up with him.

The missus had run off again...

Everett took several deep breaths to calm his anger. "Where do you think Selena would go?"

Without missing a beat, Alex replied, "How should I know?"

"Exactly, how would you know?" Everett turned to glare at her, a frustrated smile on his face. "Since you don't know, shouldn't you get moving and find out? What are you waiting for, a miracle? Or do you not want your year-end bonus?"

Alex shuddered at the mention of her bonus. That was a low blow!

"I-I'll get on it right now, promise!"
