Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Two bodyguards immediately stepped in. One twisted Selena's arms behind her back, keeping her from moving, while the other grabbed her jaw, forcing her mouth open. He picked up a sharp knife and aimed it at her lips.

Abraham relaxed on the couch as Levi got up to pour him a glass of red wine. Abraham swirled it gently, his eyes lifting to meet Selena's.

To his surprise, she showed no signs of panic. Even with the knife so close, she didn't look like she was about to beg for mercy.

Abraham took a sip of his wine and waved his hand casually.

Levi intervened, "Stop."

The bodyguard put down the knife, and the other released Selena, both stepping back quickly with military precision.

Abraham gestured toward a chair. "Have a seat."

Selena let out a quiet sigh of relief, tidying her hair and clothes before calmly sitting across from Abraham.

Levi poured her a glass of wine, too.

Abraham studied her face; although a bit pale, she didn't seem scared.

Curious, he asked, "Selena, are you just a great actress, or are you really not afraid?"

In his experience, nobody stayed this cool in such a situation. He'd seen plenty who acted tough, only to crumble when things got real.

Even the toughest guys did, so how could Selena, a seemingly delicate woman, not?

At this moment, he was genuinely intrigued.

Selena didn't answer directly. Instead, she smiled slightly, "I just think Mr. Abraham is a smart man."

Abraham wasn't like Joy. He was a savvy player, someone who might get mad but wouldn't lose his head.

Of course, if the person here today were Mallie, a nobody with no social standing

or connections, her disappearance wouldn't matter. No one would care or notice.

But Selena was different.

Irwin Enterprises was booming, and she had made a name for herself in the business world. Most

importantly, she had just becane

the acting CEO of Bennettnoveldrama

Corporation. Right after taking on the role, she arranged for Holt to set up a press interview, landing front-page headlines that lingered online for days.

She was in the spotlight, with significant social status and public attention.

If something happened to her or she vanished on Abraham's turf, it would be more

trouble than he could handle. He wouldn't dare stir up such a mess now.

Only then did Abraham realize Selena's game plan.

No wonder she broke ties with Everett to secure Bennett Corporation. She had a well-thought-out strategy.

She had swiped the official and personal seals to gain his trust and used his influence to forge the proxy contract. Her rise to that position was spotless.

He had been left holding the bag.

What a clever scheme, what a cunning Selena!

Abraham, furious but impressed, smashed his wine glass to the floor.

His eyes narrowed as he glared at her, "Selena, did you take me down just for

Everett? He betrayed and hurt you, yet you still love him?"

His words cut like a knife, "How desperate can you be?"

He couldn't wrap his head around why Joy, and now Selena, were so fixated on

Everett. What was so special about him?

Everything Everett had, he had too.

He even had a brighter future than Everett.

Being with him would be far better than being with Everett.

The glass shattered, red wine spreading across the floor, a vivid sight.

Selena didn't even blink, "Abraham, the nature of my relationship with Everett isn't for someone like you to judge. And don't blame the world for your problems. You lost because of your arrogance, thinking you could control everything. You also lost because you underestimated a mother's love for her child."
