MainNovelChapter 928 Everett's eyes were dark and intense, his lips pressed into a thin line as a vein pulsed angrily at his temple. He was furious, his chest heaving with every breath. The woman before him looked so delicate and fragile, yet her words were like sharp needles, piercing his heart without mercy. The power of words to wound was all too real in that moment.

In a sudden move, he captured her lips with his, silencing her with a fierce and punishing kiss, venting his anger through his rough actions. The driver, witnessing the scene, nervously pressed a button, causing the partition to slowly rise, sealing off the back seat into a private space.
Selena struggled against him, both angry and frustrated. He was always like this, using force when things didn't go his way. After all these years, he still hadn't grasped the true meaning of respect and love. Even though she had decided to move on, Selena felt a pang of sadness. She had once hoped for a beautiful love, that her future husband would be mature, steady, and loving. Instead, she found herself still stuck with a man who refused to grow up.
Before Everett's heart surgery, she had been drawn to him again because, at that time, he was almost the man she dreamed of. But life is unpredictable, and fate had not favored them as a couple. Selena mourned the past and felt equally saddened by the present. Sthings just shouldn't be compared because the gap can be too great.
Noticing Selena's distraction, Everett's anger flared up again. He released her, grabbed her chin with his strong hand, and demanded, "While kissing me, were you thinking of someone else? Rhett, maybe?" "Selena, when did your taste get so bad? That wet-behind-the-ears kid, you actually find him appealing?" Selena couldn't hold back any longer and slapped him hard across the face. She didn't hold back, and Everett's head jerked to the side from the blow, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at her. It wasn't so much the slap itself, but the fact that she had struck him over another man.

The best thing is for us to each find our own peace. If you don't want to receive my wedding invitation tomorrow, stop this now." She paused, then added with a cold smile, "I'm not the sperson I was before. You should know, you can no longer control my life at your whim." She was grateful for her decision to escape the prison he had woven, allowing her to live life on her own terms and giving her the right to stand here and negotiate with Everett. Had she willingly stayed trapped in his cage back then, she shuddered to think what her life might have been like now.
Selena pressed the button, lowering the partition, and spoke directly to the driver, "Stop the car!" The driver reflexively slammed on the brakes, and as soon as the car stopped, Selena pushed the door open and stepped out without a backward glance, her heels clicking confidently as she walked away. Poised and free.
