MainNovelChapter 938 "Shut up!" Everett's voice cut through the air with the chill of a winter breeze, sending shivers down Alex and Mila's spines in the cramped car. Instinctively, Mila clamped her hand over her mouth. Her brother's presence was so commanding that when he was genuinely angry, she knew better than to test him.
But what had she said that was so wrong? Back then, despite being a proud member of the prestigious Adams family, she had fallen for a guy who didn't have a penny to his nand insisted on marrying him. The whole family was against it, especially their aunt, who quickly set her up with a more 'suitable' match and locked her up, waiting for the wedding day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the time, Everett also believed in sticking to one's social class. However, being the protective brother he was, he helped her when she asked for his support. He broke her out, gave her scash, and let her run away with her love.
He had her back then, so why was he so upset now? Everett was beyond frustrated, but his anger was mostly self-directed. When he cback from Northtown, he thought he was doing the right thing by letting Selena go. But when she genuinely moved on and got pregnant with another man's child, it hit him hard-heartbreak was a brutal reality.
If only he'd known... he would've never let her slip away.
But now, was it too late? Everett yanked off his tie and undid a couple of shirt buttons, but it didn't ease the tightness in his chest. As the car pulled up to Bennett Corporation, he told the driver, "Take her home." "Yes, Mr. Everett," the driver nodded.
Everett stepped out of the car, and as Alex was about to follow, Mila's eyes sparkled with an idea. "Alex, I need to ask you a few things. Mind givinga lift?" Alex blinked in surprise. "Uh, well..." Mila turned to Everett, "Everett, let Alex drive me. It won't take long." Everett nodded slightly and walked off.
The car merged back into the stream of traffic, and Alex looked puzzled. "Ms. Ruby, what did you want to ask?" Mila offered a reassuring smile.

I was overseas when they tied the knot, and by the tI got back, they'd split. I'm curious about how things went down." Alex hesitated, "Why the sudden interest, Ms. Ruby?" Resting her chin on her hand, Mila sighed. "You've seen Everett lately. He's on edge, and as his sister, I hate seeing him like this. Selfishly, if I can nudge him and Selena back together, he'd be happier, and my kid's future would be brighter." With Everett as an uncle, the rest of the Adams family wouldn't dare pressure her into ending her pregnancy or marrying someone else.
Alex thought about it, then nodded. "I see your point."
She was also worried about the boss's stress levels and had even started bringing heart meds to work every day. But...
"Still, Selena's moved on and is expecting with someone else m e Breaking them up wouldn't be right..."
Mila quickly added, "I'm not trying to be the villain here. If Selena and her new guy are truly happy, I won't interfere. But from what I saw when they talked, it's not that simple."
