Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

The bodyguards were clearly not your average security detail. Each one was highly trained, moving with the precision you'd expect from Abraham's crew, assigned to shadow Joy.

For the time being, they were all caught up, unable to maneuver freely.

Joy took in the scene with a smug little grin. Did Selena really think she could break through their ranks? Wishful thinking!

Yet, she'd underestimated Selena's grit. Most folks would've buckled under the pressure by now, but not Selena. She was still standing strong.

Looks like it was time for Joy to play her ace in the hole.

In a swift move, Joy sidled up to Selena, wrapping an arm around her and whispering words only meant for the two of them.

"Selena, haven't you been digging to find out who's pulling Yasmine's strings? Well, here it is—it's me."

"I'm the one who coached her, who made her pose as Everett's beloved, who orchestrated the fire to earn Everett's pity. All to drive a wedge between you and Everett, forcing your hand to divorce him."

Selena's breath hitched, and she tried to shove Joy away, but Joy clung on fiercely.

"While we're at it, let me spill a bit more."

"Remember that car crash when you were carrying Mateo? It wasn't some freak accident, nor was it Margot's doing. It was me. I planned it all, hoping you'd both perish."

"But, darn it, you got lucky. You survived, Mateo too, giving you a shot to turn the tables."

"But who cares? The one who gets the last laugh wins."

"And that someone will be me."

Selena's face went ghostly pale.

So, Joy had been scheming from the get-go.

Selena had confided in Joy about everything, without holding back a single secret. That's how Joy managed to play her like a fiddle, striking where it hurt the most. The sting of betrayal and red-hot anger surged through Selena, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth.

All the surrounding commotion faded, leaving only Joy's cocky smirk in view. She'd caused so much havoc and still had the audacity to gloat.

Selena lost it. She raised her hand and slapped Joy hard across the face, one hit after another.

She put all her strength into it, and when she was done, she was shaking so badly she could barely stand.

Joy, how could you be so heartless?

How could you deceive and betray like this?

Joy stumbled back, clutching her face, before tumbling to the floor.noveldrama

Tears welled up in her eyes, "Selena, what are you doing? I just thought it'd be best if we didn't cause a scene here and suggested a ceasefire. But you wouldn't have it, and instead, you hit me..."

She covered her face, sobbing.

The students were dumbfounded.

Was Selena out of her mind, hitting someone right in front of everyone?

Was she completely off her rocker?

The students started shouting, "Call

Selena heard none of it. Her vision was clouded with swirling darkness, threatening to swallow her whole. She clutched her head, teetering on the edge.

Someone yelled, "Is Selena really losing it? Has she gone crazy?"

At that moment, the door swung open, and Everett walked in with purpose.
