Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 928

Everett's eyes were dark and intense, his lips pressed into a thin line as a vein pulsed angrily at his temple. He was furious, his chest heaving with every breath. The woman before him looked so delicate and fragile, yet her words were like sharp needles, piercing his heart without mercy. The power of words to wound was all too real in that moment.

He couldn't stand to hear another word. In a sudden move, he captured her lips with his, silencing her with a fierce and punishing kiss, venting his anger through his rough actions. The driver, witnessing the scene, nervously pressed a button, causing the partition to slowly rise, sealing off the back seat into a private space.

Selena struggled against him, both angry and frustrated. He was always like this, using force when things didn't go his way. After all these years, he still hadn't grasped the true meaning of respect and love. Even though she had decided to move on, Selena felt a pang of sadness. She had once hoped for a beautiful love, that her future husband would be mature, steady, and loving. Instead, she found herself still stuck with a man who refused to grow up.

Before Everett's heart surgery, she had been drawn to him again because, at that time, he was almost the man she dreamed of. But life is unpredictable, and fate had not favored them as a couple. Selena mourned the past and felt equally saddened by the present. Some things just shouldn't be compared because the gap can be too great.

"Selena, when did your taste get so bad? That wet-behind-the-ears kid, you actually find him appealing?"
