Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

She mocked with complete abandon.

But Selena wasn't fazed. She chuckled softly, "Forget anyone? Never you. We're best friends, after all, aren't we?"

Joy smirked, "What's this? Accepted you can't beat me, so you're playing the friendship card to beg? Selena, if you truly apologize and admit your faults, maybe I'll let you off easy, for old times' sake."

"Joy, who's letting who off the hook is still up in the air."

Selena spoke calmly, "Thanks to you, Everett ditched me. He couldn't stand the thought of a 'crazy woman' leading the Bennett family. He even took my kids, refusing to let me raise them. I've got nothing to lose now, and I'm not scared of going down with you."

"Oh, by the way, remember Devin? The guy who hit me? He's reached out. Now, we're united by the same hatred and goal. You thought you could just use someone and then try to silence them for good."

Joy's smug grin vanished in an instant.

"Selena, did you... save Devin?"

She knew Selena had Blaine on her side, and in the Western circles, Blaine had enough clout to protect anyone he wanted.

Selena just smiled, "Take a guess."noveldrama

"Selena!" Joy shouted, trembling with anger.

"Don't bother yelling! When you end up in jail, as your sister, I'll be sure to visit."

With that, Selena hung up, not giving Joy a chance to respond, and blocked her number.

Joy tried to call back, but it was useless. Enraged, she slammed her phone down, shattering it.

Selena!

You're trying to ruin me!

It won't be that easy!

This time, I'll drag you down to hell!

Three months into her pregnancy, Alexa went for a check-up at the hospital with Ava by her side.

Thankfully, despite a bumpy start, the baby was thriving.

While

collect

a went to settle the bills a e meds, Alexa sat in the e

rly looking at the

Woovers

ultrasound picture in her hands.

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of her.

Alexa slowly looked up, spotting a stunning woman with sunglasses covering half her face.

The woman took off her sunglasses, meeting Alexa's eyes.

"Alexa, I'm Joy. You recognize me, don't you?"

Alexa had seen that infamous live stream, so she definitely knew who Joy was.

But she couldn't figure out why Joy was approaching her now.

Instinctively, she shielded her belly, watching Joy with suspicion, "What do you want?"

Joy noticed Alexa's defensive stance and smirked.

"Relax. We don't have any beef. I'm not here to hurt you."

After a pause, she added, "But we do... share a common enemy."

Alexa's lips parted slightly, "You mean Selena?"

Joy was pleased with Alexa's quick understanding, offering a satisfied smile.

"Let's chat somewhere more private."

In a cozy café.

Joy and Alexa sat across from each other.

Joy got straight to the point, "I bet you loathe the Irwin family, despise Blaine. He's made your life

miserable and even tried to erasen et

your child. Once Selena's out of the picture, he'll take a major hit Then, I'll provide you with some cash to start fresh, far away from Blaine. You can build a new life, peacefully, with your child."

Alexa listened quietly, and as Joy spoke the last words, something flickered in her eyes.

Clearly, she was intrigued.

Noticing this, Joy slid a small bottle

across the table, "This powder-just a pinch in Selena's drink each day

for a week, and she'll have a sudden heart attack, passing away peacefully in her sleep."
