Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena watched Everett on the TV with careful attention. Through the lens, she could see how much weight he'd lost, his features more defined and chiseled, with a jawline as sharp as a knife. His eyes had a cool detachment, making him look even more attractive and captivating. It seemed he was doing just fine.

Selena hugged Haley tightly, tears welling up in her eyes before she even

realized. But this time, they were tears of joy, not bitterness. She always knew that

a troublemaker like Everett wouldn't bow out easily. Even the Grim Reaper would think twice about taking him.

Just then, Mateo burst through the door from school, not even bothering to drop his backpack, and rushed to the TV. "Mom, is that Dad?" His big eyes turned to Selena, eagerly seeking her confirmation.

Selena nodded with enthusiasm, her voice thick with emotion. "Yes, it's Dad. He's back."

Haley, too young to grasp everything, simply felt the happiness of seeing her dad. She clapped her little hands and joined in, shouting, "Daddy! Daddy!"noveldrama

Ava stepped out of the kitchen, tears glistening in her eyes. Ever since Everett had risked his life for his wife, she'd accepted him in her heart. She longed for the family to reunite and be happy together. For over a year, she'd shown Haley Everett's picture every night, saying, "This is your daddy!"

After Haley started talking, her first words were "Mommy," followed by "Daddy," with Ava coming in third. She didn't mind at all. She thought that if Mr. Everett saw Haley and heard her call him "Daddy," he would be over the moon.

As she wiped her tears, Ava congratulated Selena, "Mrs. Selena, you're finally going to see some happiness. Mr. Everett will surely come looking for you soon." Selena closed her eyes for a moment, a soft smile spreading across her face.

Today, Bennett Enterprises' president, Everett, made his return to New York. Reporters had caught wind of his arrival and were camped out at the airport. After all, Everett had been abroad for treatment for over a year, with no updates Rumors of his death circulated now and then, supposedly kept under wraps to maintain company stability. Each rumor was a media storm.

The reporters wouldn't miss a chance to catch his movements. But this time, Everett flew in on a private jet and used the VIP exit, allowing the media only a few shots in the parking lot before his security team whisked him away.

Still, it was enough. As soon as the photos and reports hit, they went viral.

The black limo cruised smoothly down the wide road. Everett leaned his chin on

his hand, his handsome face unreadable as he gazed out the window.

Beside him sat Derick, meticulously updating him on the past year's happenings at Bennett Enterprises. In Everett's absence, Derick managed all matters with Alex's help. Decisions that couldn't be

settled were decided by board votes. With Jaime as the acting interim president, there had been a few minor hiccups, but they were all handled smoothly.

After finishing his report, Derick asked, "Mr. Everett, since you just got back, would you like to take a rest first?"

Everett's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied bluntly, "To the office. Let everyone know I want to hold a board meeting."

Derick was caught off guard. "Mr. Everett, is it necessary to rush? Your health..."

Before he could finish, Everett gave him a cold, sidelong glance, sending a chill down Derick's spine and silencing him immediately.
