Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Holt had reached her limit and snapped, "Joy, get a grip, will you? Mr. Everett was never yours to begin with, so how can you even say such nonsense?"

Joy fired back, "Shut up! What do you know? Do you have any idea how much I've sacrificed for Everett? He should be mine!"

Holt was about to continue when Selena stepped in to stop her.

"There's no point arguing with her," Selena said calmly. "She seems to believe that anything she wants is automatically hers."

Joy, lost in her long unrequited love, had become irrational and caught up in her own delusions. She'd gone to extreme lengths to claim Everett, not knowing if it was love or obsession driving her anymore.

Her glare shifted back to Selena, filled with malice. "Selena, do you know what I can't stand about you? That holier-than-thou attitude. Do you think you've won? Don't count on it!"

"The phone with my confession is smashed to bits. It fell from such a height, who knows where the pieces ended up. Think you can find it? And as for this Devin..."

Joy's smile turned even more sinister. "I wasn't sure before, but now I get it. He's not the real Devin. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to all this trouble. If I'm right, the real Devin's been gone for a while!"

"Now, without evidence or witnesses, what can you possibly do to me?"

Selena, hearing this, wasn't surprised. Instead, she calmly admitted, "Yes, you're sharp enough to figure out this Devin is a fake."

If Joy weren't clever, she wouldn't have remained free for so long.

Unfortunately...

Selena smiled faintly, "Joy, do you think I'd face you without being fully prepared? The phone might be smashed, but... it wasn't for recording. It was for..."

She paused, emphasizing each word, "A live broadcast."

"When you confessed on camera, everyone saw it live. And now..."

Selena glanced at the clock on the wall, "The police are already on their way."

"This time, you won't slip away."

Even though Selena's words were clear, Joy was momentarily stunned, struggling to grasp what she'd just heard. She shook her head

repeatedly, "No way, no way, no way! You're just trying to scare me, it can't

be true!" t

Just then, the suite door swung open, and the police entered. As before, the silver handcuffs were snapped onto Joy's wrists.

Selena gave her one last look and left her with a single sentence, "The feud between us is finally over."

With that, Selena turned and walked away, their paths forever diverging.

As she stepped out of the hotel, a cold breeze swept over her, sending a chill through Selena. It wasn't the kind of chill that touched the skin, but a bone-deep coldness from within. noveldrama

Turns out, humans are emotional beings, and letting go isn't as easy as it seems.

She wrapped her arms around herself, seeking warmth, but her body kept

shivering, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a black coat was draped over her shoulders, warmth enveloping her. Selena instinctively glanced to her side to find Everett standing beside her, his dark eyes deep and intent, fixed on her.
