Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Devin was completely taken by surprise when he found himself halfway out the window, his phone slipping from his grasp and plummeting below. Joy, seeing the chaos unfold, erupted into a crazed laughter, shoving Devin with even more determination. If she could just get rid of him, she'd finally be at ease.

Devin struggled to hold his ground. "Joy, are you really trying to kill me just to shut me up?"

By now, Joy had nothing left to hide. "Devin, don't blame me for this. Blame yourself! You didn't hide well enough, and Everett's people tracked you down. You thought you could catch me off guard, but I can't let you live!"

Feeling the dizzying height from the window, Devin's face turned a shade paler. "You heartless woman, with all the blood on your hands, do you really think you'll get away with it?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Joy, tipsy and riding high on confidence, declared, "My brother is Abraham, the future kingpin of Newport. This is my turf-what do I have to fear?"

"You wanted someone to join you on your way to hell, didn't you? Well, Selena was supposed to be your partner in crime. Satisfied now?" Joy's eyes glinted with a wild madness. "Goodbye, Devin."

Just as Joy was about to use every ounce of her strength to finish Devin off, she suddenly felt a powerful grip yanking her backward.

At the same time, another figure darted in, grabbing Devin by the waist and pulling him back to safety. The room exploded with light as Selena and Holt strode in through the door, advancing steadily toward Joy.

Selena lifted her gaze, her dark eyes locking onto Joy with a calm intensity. Joy stared at the woman before her, unable to believe her eyes. "You... you were supposed to be..."

Selena's lips curled in a slight smile. "Sorry to disappoint, but I'm very much alive."

Joy's gaze darted to Devin, realizing he wasn't weak at all. He was a robust man, not someone easily pushed around. In that moment of clarity, everything clicked.

She had been sloppy. She had walked right into Selena's trap. It was all staged-a setup to draw her in. Setena had feigned her death to make Joy lower her guard, allowing Devin to coax a confession out of her. sŵnovel

His apparent lack of resistance was just a ploy to get Joy to admit Abraham's involvement, effectively cutting off her escape. Now, Abraham couldn't protect her without incriminating himself.

Selena, this cunning woman, this formidable force!

Furious, Joy lunged at her, intent on taking them both down. But the bodyguard holding her had her firmly restrained, leaving her powerless.

Selena looked at her with a chilling detachment. "Even now, you don't see where you went wrong, do you? Joy, I never imagined it would come to this between

carried a hint of raw emotion. They had once been friends, promising to grow old together. Sometimes, friendship wasn't so different from

But Joy wasn't listening. Selena had shattered her carefully crafted plans, and all she felt was rage. "Selena, save the fake concern. If you really cared you wouldn't have chased after the man I loved. It's always you, always competing with me You're the one who betrayed me!"
