Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Abraham let out a sudden chuckle.

"Ms. Selena, you're quite the straight shooter."

Selena arched an eyebrow. "Mr. Abraham, what's that supposed to mean? You pushed me for an answer, and now that I've given it, you're questioning my motives?"

She didn't bother to hide her disdain and sarcasm. "If you don't trust me, why come looking for my help in the first place? Surely, Mr. Abraham, you know the importance of trusting the people you work with?"

"Selena, there's no need to rile me up. At my level, one wrong move and everything crumbles."noveldrama

Abraham laid all his doubts on the table. "I've already lost a sister; I'm not about to let someone like you take us down, am I?"

Selena leaned back in her plush leather chair, tapping her fingers on the desk. "So, Mr. Abraham, what exactly are you getting at?"

"I need to see you mean business. If you can get your hands on the Bennett Corporation's official seal and Everett's personal seal, then we're in business. Once that's sorted, you'll be in on my whole plan."

Official and personal seals.

Abraham was really asking for the moon here.

These things were crucial, and he knew exactly where to hit to make it hurt.

Selena didn't speak right away.

Abraham, in no rush, continued, "Selena, you need to show me what you've got. No one else compares to the original partner; in a man's heart, the first one holds unmatched value. Plus, you've given Everett two kids. If anyone can get those seals, it's you."

"If· you can't, well, maybe Everett really is a king without a weakness."

Selena chuckled, "Mr. Abraham, don't try to bait me. I just need some time."

"Alright then. Here's to hoping our partnership brings success."

Once the call ended, Selena tossed her phone onto the desk, her dark eyes unreadable.

Next to her, Holt was left speechless.

It took her a moment to gather thoughts. "Miss... Miss, are you

seriously considering working

that Scoundrel... I mean, Mr. Abraham?"

Lately, Holt had warmed up to Everett quite a bit. If she had to choose,

than someone like Abraham.

She worried that Selena might make a decision she'd regret.

Selena glanced at her, amused by Holt's mix of shock and caution.

She teased, "What do you think?"

"I think... I think you shouldn't. Joy is bad news, and Abraham's no different. What good could come from that?"

"Besides, Mr. Everett has made his

mistaken

isn't he trying to make

things right? Surely he's not beyond

redemption?"

Selena chuckled at this.

Holt was momentarily stunned, slowly piecing it all together, but still not quite getting it.

What was really going on?

Selena said softly, "When you get married and have kids, you'll understand."

For a mother, from the moment her child is born, the child becomes the center of her world.

You plan for their future.

Many things are negotiable.

But Abraham is a man-a selfish, arrogant one without children.

His perspective will always have gaps compared to a woman's.

And that will be his downfall.

It was the weekend. Early in the morning, Ava asked Selena if she should have

the driver bring Mateo back.
