Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

As Rebecca's foot sent the phone skittering into the middle of the road, Selena's hope of retrieving it was crushed under the wheels of an oncoming car.

"Oops, my bad, must've slipped," Rebecca said, her voice oozing with fake apology, a smirk firmly planted on her face. It was obvious to anyone nearby that it was no accident.

Selena clenched her fists so hard the veins popped on the back of her hands. Even the taxi driver couldn't just stand by and watch. He stepped up to help Selena, "Miss, let me call you a cab."

Without waiting for her reply, he put out a call on his driver's group chat.

Someone nearby quickly responded, "I'll be there in a minute."

His voice note was heard by everyone around. Selena gave the driver a grateful smile, "Thank you so much."

"No worries."

Rebecca, though, was fuming. She hadn't counted on Selena keeping her cool this time. In the past, Selena would've fought back straight away. But now, she had her unborn child to think about, her future ticket to a better life. Of course, she'd hold back.

But Rebecca couldn't let it slide. If word got out about the child, her grandfather's inheritance would surely go to Selena and her baby. The Bennett family fortune couldn't end up in the hands of an outsider!

After three years of living together, Selena knew Rebecca's temperament well, and Rebecca knew exactly how to get under her skin.

Rebecca moved closer to Selena, her voice a low taunt, "Selena, are you deaf? I'm talking to you."

"Oh, right, your parents died young, and your uncle's only interested in using his niece for cash. No wonder you've got no class. You can't even hold yourself together!" The second Rebecca finished, Selena's hand flew up, smacking Rebecca across the face without second thought. Family was Selena's boundary, one nobody could cross.

Rebecca hadn't expected Selena to strike her, her eyes flaring with anger, "You witch, Selena! How dare you hit me, you'll regret this!"

She lunged at Selena.

Selena felt a sharp pain in her belly, breaking out in a cold sweat. Her movements slowed, and though she tried to dodge, Rebecca managed to grab her hair. "Let go!" Selena yelled, pained.

But Rebecca, eyes full of malice, aimed a kick at Selena's stomach Selena anticipating the attack, kicked Rebecca's knee first.

Rebecca's knee buckled, forcing her

to kneel.

Seizing the opportunity, Selena, who'd picked up some self-defense skills while covering risky news stories, quickly subdued her.

Just then, another taxi arrived, and without wasting any more time on Rebecca, Selena opened the door and got in.

Rebecca, blinded by rage and ignoring her own pain, rushed at Selena and shoved her hard from behind.

Caught off guard and weakened, Selena stumbled and fell to the ground. A sharp pain pierced her lower abdomen. Looking down, she saw blood trickling down her leg. The vivid red was shocking...
