Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena stayed quiet.

Alex assumed she was still upset, trying to vouch for her boss. "Ma'am, I'm serious, I'm telling you the truth. Mr. Everett's in a really bad way. If... if something terrible happens, maybe you should think about coming to see him..." Before Alex could finish, she heard a sharp click-the call had been cut off.

For a moment, Alex was dumbfounded.

She quickly tried calling back, but was greeted by a chilly automated voice: "The number you have dialed is currently switched off."

She hadn't expected Mrs. Everett to be so cold-hearted.

Just then, the car pulled up to the accident scene. She looked up and saw a devastating sight.

Everett had been painstakingly extracted from the wreck by paramedics. He was bloody and battered, lying silently on a stretcher, and it was unclear if he'd make it.

Alex felt her heart leap into her throat, and she abandoned any thought of reaching Selena. She jumped out of the car, nearly tripping as she rushed over.

Meanwhile, at the airport, Callum switched off Selena's phone and handed it to his assistant, Carly.

Carly had overheard most of Alex's conversation while standing nearby. Taking the phone, she hesitated for a moment but finally asked, "Dr. Campbell, are you going to tell Ms. Selena?"

When it comes to life and death, everything else seems trivial. Especially considering Selena and Everett shared four years of marriage.

Callum stood tall, hands clasped behind his back, staring out at the empty tarmac through the large windows. Their flight had just arrived, and if things went smoothly, they'd be boarding in about half an hour and landing in Germany by evening. It was the start of a new life.

He was silent for a long while.

Carly had been by his side for years and knew his mind well. Even saints could turn selfish when love was involved.

And this opportunity... he had waited so long for it, and it hadn't come easily.

"Carly," Callum finally spoke, "Take care of the phone. When we get to Germany, Selena will have a new phone and number. Also, send something to Everett for me."

""What should I send?"

Callum softly spoke a few words.

Carly swallowed, then couldn't help but comment, "Dr. Campbell-or should I say Mr. Callum-you're quite ruthless."

He was, after all, from a prestigious family.

No one could be entirely flawless.

After a pause, she added, "What if Mr. Everett really...?"

"He won't, Callum interrupted

confidently. "Troublemakers like him stick around forever. Even the Grim Reaper would think twice about taking him."

With that, Carly had nothing more to say.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Selena and Ava returning with food. Carly swiftly pocketed the phone and nodded, "I understand. Safe travel to you and Selena.

find happiness and finally tie the knot."

Others might not know, but she did.

More than four years ago, Callum had wanted to take Selena abroad, but back then, Selena was head over

heels for Everett and had disappeared into married life

Otherwise, why waste all that time?

Callum's expression softened. "Thanks for the well wishes."

The plane took off.

Selena sat by the window, staring out at the clouds, a little lost in thought.

She mused that everything had gone so smoothly this time....

And by now, Everett probably realized she had taken off again.

Beside her, Callum watched her serene profile, his voice gentle, "Selena, what's on your mind?"

Selena snapped back to the present, pushing Everett's stern face out of her thoughts.
