Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

After a while, she softly began, "All I want is to be reunited with my son as soon as possible, leave this place, leave him... and just live our lives."

In this world, how often do coincidences really happen? Most of the time, it's just a well-laid trap by those who plan against the unsuspecting a carefully crafted illusion.

That day, with a flicker of hope, she asked Everett if they could part ways amicably. His answer was a firm 'no.' Worse, he insisted on having another child with her and even had the wild plan of sending her to a deserted island to make it happen. Facing such a grim future was just not an option for her.

So, she had to find a way out on her own. She had an arrangement with Dr. Campbell: if she flew a kite for more than three days in a row, it would signal that she needed help.

The opportunity arrived swiftly, and during the festival, she managed to spot Dr. Campbell. With the crowd around them, even a private moment wouldn't allow them to speak freely without risking being overheard, which would be a mess. She waited patiently for Dr. Campbell's next move. Unexpectedly, he declared she was pregnant again. At that moment, her heart was a whirl of panic.

Everett's demands were relentless, and she hadn't been able to keep up with precautions, especially since she'd been feeling nauseous and queasy. The hospital tests even confirmed the pregnancy.

At that point, she was both bewildered and utterly deflated. It wasn't until the quiet of the night that she calmed down and remembered the candy Dr. Campbell had slipped her. She'd eaten it, but the wrapper was still with her.

The wrapper had an Al figure on it, hinting at something virtual, not real. That's when she caught on to Dr. Campbell's clever plan.

Everett wanted a child, so she'd give him the illusion of one. Only by pretending to be pregnant would he lower his guard slightly, giving her an edge to "concede" to him again.

For those in power, a direct confrontation would just end in mutual destruction. To come out unscathed, she had to catch him off guard.

Dr. Campbell had set the stage, and now it was up to her to put on a convincing show. So, she went ahead and deliberately provoked Margot.

Just as Margot had once tried to undermine her with her little games, she turned the tables and gave Margot a taste of her own medicine, twice as bitter.

As expected, Margot was furious and couldn't keep her cool, storming right up to her. Today's spectacle wasn't just about making a fool of Margot it was a strategic play to earn Everett's guilt and sympathy. This way, he'd start agreeing to her requests bit by bit.

For instance, having Dr. Carrillo oversee her supposed "pregnancy."

She didn't know how Dr. Campbell had managed to change the ultrasound results to show a four-week pregnancy last time, but letting Everett's doctor examine her again would definitely blow her cover.

wounds and applied some ointment to her face. Removing his gloves, he said, "Oh by the way, Mateo asked me to tell you he's all set. Your son is safely abroad now, just waiting for you Have you figured out your next step?"

The message was clear: everything was ready, and all that was left was for her to make her move.

Mateo was already safe.

As long as she could make her escape, the tangled mess with Everett would finally be behind her! Selena's usually calm heart was now a stormy sea.

He approached, his large hand gently stroking her cheek. His lips started to form words, but her raspy voice beat him to it. With just a few words, she sent a tremor through his heart.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
