Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

The sales assistant shook her head repeatedly. "Ms. Margot, we've tried several times, and this card has definitely been deactivated."

Margot was about to argue when something clicked in her mind, and she shot Selena a vicious glare, "Was it you? Did you get my card deactivated?"

She had just seen Selena sending a message.

Selena didn't bother denying it. She nodded openly. "Yep, it was me."

"You... what gives you the right to cut off my card?" Margot was fuming, her chest heaving, and her face twisted in anger.

"Obviously, because... I'm Mrs. Bennett. We're married, so naturally, I handle his finances. It's the power of being a spouse." Selena stood up, looking at her with contempt. "And you, no matter how hard you try, are just a mistress who should stay hidden." Selena glanced at the broken pendant on the floor, a smirk playing on her lips. "Ms. Margot, this pendant is already broken. It's non-returnable. You'll have to foot the bill yourself, but with your wealth, I doubt this small change is a big deal."

"You..." Margot was nearly beside herself with frustration. She had a thriving career and earned quite a bit, but her expenses were steep. She couldn't just easily cough up nearly a million.

Noticing Selena's smug smile, she suddenly realized something. "This was your plan all along, wasn't it? Pretending not to care, provoking me to smash the pendant, and then having my card cancelled?"Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Selena, you're truly evil! No wonder Everett can't stand you!"

Selena just shrugged. "Margot, instead of ranting here, you'd better hurry up and gather the money. If you get caught being broke, that would be a real scene."

Then, with a mischievous grin, she added, "Oh, and don't even think about asking Everett to bail you out. I've already tipped off the paparazzi. If he pays today, it'll seal your role as the homewrecker in our marriage. Even if Everett and I split in the future, considering the Bennett family's obsession with reputation, you can forget about marrying into their family!"

Margot was trembling with rage, her face pale with anger, yet she couldn't muster a single retort.

Josh had dismissed her in the past, believing her family background wasn't good enough to join their family. How could he accept a pianist who entertained others for a living?

This was why she had spent the last few years elevating her status. She wanted to become an internationally renowned pianist to win the Bennett she

family's approval. That wasnett

had pushed for an interview with Ink & Insight.

Out here in public, Selena could shamelessly act this way, but she couldn't.

Margot had no choice but to swallow her fury and make a call to gather the money. Her expression turned dark.

At that moment, Selena felt a wave of satisfaction, scoffing as she picked up her purse and left.

Once outside the store, she felt a bit lost. Without the pendant, where would she find a new gift on short notice? "Selena, fancy seeing you here." A warm, gentle voice came from behind.

Selena turned around to see a gentleman gracefully descending the steps, approaching her with a smile. "Callum, are you shopping here too?"

Callum lifted the bag in his hand. "Not exactly. My mom ordered a bracelet. I'm just picking it up for her."

"I see." Selena nodded. "So you saw what happened just now?"

Callum was straightforward. "I did."

"It seems like every time I'm up to some mischief, you're there to witness it," Selena mused. "What kind of special connection is this?"

Last time at the Bennett family's

estate, she was "giving Rebecca aet

"Aren't you worried about my character?"

Callum chuckled softly. "I think you are pretty great."
