NovelEnglishChapter 561
Selena's heart ached deeply, tinged with disappointment. Her voice softened, "So, everything you've been doing
lately was your call. You just letknow, expectingto go along with your plans and make all your dreams
ctrue."
"I've tried my hardest to keep you happy-whether it was sending Everett those divorce papers, setting up this
meeting, or even when you had your assistant use my nfor things, | didn't hold it against you." "But now,
you're askingto choose you over little Mateo."
"You, of all people, know how much little Mateo means to me. He's my world..."
A tear escaped from her reddened eyes and landed with a soft plop on Callum's hand, making him flinch as if
he'd been burned.
Resolutely, Selena pulled away and turned to leave. Callum stood frozen, watching her walk away, unable to
move.
Meanwhile, at the Bennett family mansion, guests were gathered, chatting and clinking glasses. As melodious
piano music filled the air, Everett guided little Mateo down the grand staircase, step by step, into full view.

case of 'like father, like son.' The Bennett family elders were visibly pleased. They had worried about Everett not
having an heir, nudging him often about it, only to find out he was way ahead of them.
Mateo, with his adorable looks and rosy cheeks, naturally drew a crowd of socialites who showered him with
compliments and pinched his cheeks. Little Mateo frowned, utterly annoyed by these women who reminded him

like this, it should be the lady of the house stepping in, and Mr. Everett, being a man, wasn't exactly in a position
to deal with the socialites.
Checking the time, Alex realized it was almost tto announce the engagement. She texted Jenny: "Miss
Harper, the engagement ceremony is about to start. You can cin now." Jenny replied quickly: "Okay."
Alex scanned the room once more, but still, no sign of Selena. She sighed softly.
Was Mrs. Everett really going to let Mr. Everett get engaged to another woman without a word? Did she truly
have no feelings left for him?
Five minutes later, the lights dimmed, leaving a spotlight shining on the stage. The man, sharp in his suit, with
striking features and a tall frame, drew admiring glances, making everyone envy the woman about to take his
hand.
The music shifted to a romantic
melody. A woman in a trailing white
gown, Yasmine, with impeccable
makeup and striking red lips, wore a
white veil that partialykbid her face. In

she was, and everyone just assumed
it was Jenny. The content is on
