Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 930

Selena couldn't help but be taken aback as she looked at Rhett. He'd always claimed his family was open-minded and wouldn't meddle in his love life. But let's be real-guys can say all sorts of sweet things when they're trying to win someone over, and when push comes to shove, who knows what might happen?

The Harris family had a significant clout in Northtown, and Rhett was young, with a lot of potential ahead. Dating seemed understandable, but proposing marriage right off the bat? That was a curveball she didn't see coming.

Rhett, sensing her skepticism, quickly added, "Selena, this isn't some spur-of-the- moment thing. I've already talked to my grandpa, and he's all for it."

"I told him about everything you've done in Newport. He's really impressed and thinks you're as capable as any man, handling responsibilities with grace. He even framed a calligraphy piece to give to you when you meet the family."

Selena was floored. Sure, her achievements might win applause, but in a traditional, high-society world, they weren't exactly embraced. The old guard usually preferred a gentle, submissive wife—not someone with a backbone of steel.

Mr. Harris's open-mindedness struck a chord with her. Maybe marrying into a family like that wouldn't be so bad after all. For a brief moment, her heart wavered.

Her fingers twitched slightly, but logic took the reins. She did like Rhett, but it was more about respect for him as a person than anything romantic. She didn't want him to waste his feelings on her.
