NovelStartChapter 752 Selena was at her wits' end with Everett's audacity. Her expression was icy as she pulled her robe tighter and cinched the belt snugly around her waist.
"Get out!" She didn't want to waste another breath on him.
Everett acted like he hadn't heard her. He got up and strolled over, leaning in close, his handsface looming large in her view. He noticed the slight puffiness around her eyes.
With a gentle touch, he brushed his thumb across the corner of her eye. "You've really had it rough, huh?" Selena had enough. She swatted his hand away. "Everett, do I need to call security to get you out of here?" She had let him cto see their child, but she hadn't signed up for him to parade in and out of her bedroom like he owned the place.
She was about to raise her voice and call for backup.

He lowered his head and playfully nibbled at her soft neck.
"Selena, do you think I'd mess up the sway twice?" Last time, he calone; this time, he cprepared.
Her bodyguards had already been neutralized by Bill and his crew.
Selena's anger flared, her chest heaving with the intensity of it. "Everett, what do you really want?" He looked at her with an innocent face. "Selena, I'm not after anything. I just want to know what's wrong. Who's been giving you trouble?" Selena let out a cold laugh at his words.
She wasn't going to play along. She called him out, "Everett, don't pretend you don't know who's been causinggrief. I'm sure you have eyes all over Newport, tracking my every move." Everett paused for a moment but didn't deny it. He openly admitted, "Selena, you and the kids live here. I just have people looking out for you all." Yeah, right.
Selena scoffed.
A leopard never changes its spots.
Everett gently pinched her chin, his voice soft. "Selena, you don't have to struggle so much. The project Blaine wants-just say the word, and I can take care of it." Sure.
If she just asked, the project would be hers, no problem.
But the catch? She'd have to sell herself out to Everett again, let him walk all over her.
She'd been down that road before, and here he was, nudging her back onto it, claiming it was for her own good. How laughable.

"You're the last person who should be standing here askingthis!" "You think I'll beg you? Everett, not in this lifetime! You're not worth it!"

He had half a mind to have someone rip that damn door off its hinges.
