Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

The closer people are, the more they know exactly which words will cut the deepest. Everett's lip twitched slightly as he coldly and indifferently spat out a single word, "Leave!"This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

A chill ran down Jaime's spine, and he instinctively took a step back. He knew all too well that poking at Everett's sore spots could get him sent packing in a heartbeat! But still...

Something nagged at him, and he decided to stick it out. "Your Majesty, I'm risking my neck here, but I've got to speak my mind!"

Taking a deep breath, he let out the speech he'd rehearsed, "Honestly, keeping your wife cooped up like this isn't helping patch things up between you two. It's just widening the gap. You can't keep her locked away forever, right?" Jaime's voice softened as he gently placed a hand on Everett's shoulder. Seeing no resistance, he felt a bit more at ease.

"Everett, what's going on between you and your sister-in-law is just a misunderstanding. You don't need to resort to such extreme measures. Women, whether they're young girls or grandmothers, need patience and gentle persuasion. Trust me, women are emotional creatures; a little humility and you can win any of them back! Plus, you both have a child, and kids are the best glue for any relationship!"

Jaime pulled out his "how-to" book for wooing women from his pocket and placed it on the table with a flourish. "And here's my secret weapon, just for you. Use it wisely!"

Everett glanced at the book and let out a dismissive laugh, "Who put you up to this?"

Jaime didn't flinch, "This is straight from the heart. I just can't stand by and watch you mess things up!"

Everett wasn't buying it. He knew Jaime too well. If Jaime was skilled at anything, it was coming up with harebrained schemes, not heartfelt advice.

With a lazy smirk, Everett said, "You'd better be on your way. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

"Got it!" Jaime gave a mock bow fit for a minister before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Outside the office, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly, and a warm voice answered.

Jaime got straight to the point, "Hey, I'm really sticking my neck out for you. I passed on the message; it's up to Everett now."

Initially, Jaime wanted nothing to do

with Everett and Selena's drama.lt was one thing to watch the

spectacle unfold, but quite another to meddle in their relationship.

CUMS

But Callum had come to him a couple of days ago, asking for a favor. Callum couldn't approach Everett directly without making things worse, so Jaime was the only one who could say something without facing the music.

Jaime had hesitated at first, but Callum's offer was too tempting to refuse.

So today, he took the plunge, though it felt like a close call!

"Thanks," Callum said.

Jaime sighed and added, "Callum, Everett's like a brother to me, and so are you really don't want to see you two at odds. There are plenty of other women out there; stop fixating on someone else's wife!"

"I know lots of amazing women, top-notch. What are you looking for? I can introduce you... how about we meet up tonight?"

Before he could finish, the call ended with a click.

Jaime chuckled, "No manners!"

Everyone seemed to lose their minds whenever Selena was involved!

He scratched his head, feeling genuinely annoyed.

...

A year slipped by quietly, and today was New Year's Day.

Ava came back from shopping, beaming as she told Selena about the beautifully decorated streets, bustling with lively crowds and festive lights.
