Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 938

"Shut up!"

Everett's voice cut through the air with the chill of a winter breeze, sending shivers down Alex and Mila's spines in the cramped car. Instinctively, Mila clamped her hand over her mouth. Her brother's presence was so commanding that when he was genuinely angry, she knew better than to test him.

But what had she said that was so wrong?

Back then, despite being a proud member of the prestigious Adams family, she had fallen for a guy who didn't have a penny to his name and insisted on marrying him. The whole family was against it, especially their aunt, who quickly set her up with a more 'suitable' match and locked her up, waiting for the wedding day.

At the time, Everett also believed in sticking to one's social class. However, being the protective brother he was, he helped her when she asked for his support. He broke her out, gave her some cash, and let her run away with her love.

He had her back then, so why was he so upset now?

Everett was beyond frustrated, but his anger was mostly self-directed. When he came back from Northtown, he thought he was doing the right thing by letting Selena go. But when she genuinely moved on and got pregnant with another man's child, it hit him hard-heartbreak was a brutal reality.
