<h4>Chapter 656: Get Out!</h4>


    Everett’s face was dark with anger. He let out a coldugh. "Who gave you permission toe in?"


    Gianna froze, holding her purse in one hand and a breakfast box in the other. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. "Everett, just hear me out—"


    "Get out!"


    This woman was absolutely delusional. Just the sight of her made his skin crawl, and now she had the nerve to show up here and disgust him in person?


    She must be tired of living.


    "I just wanted to tell you something," Gianna said, taking a deep breath. Her seductive eyes were filled with desperate hope. "I’m divorcing your father."


    "Perfect. That means I won’t have to see you—or smell you—ever again."


    Everett didn’t hold back. Gianna’s face turned an awful shade.


    She really thought she could move him, that after all this time she’d get under his skin. But nothing had changed.


    Not even a flicker of emotion.


    Sure, she was nearly forty—but she had once been crowned a national beauty queen back in Country S!


    "You... don’t be like this, okay? Once I’m divorced, we can—"


    "Get. Out!"


    Everett rarely lost his temper. This was the first time Gianna had ever been to his office—and the first time she’d seen him truly explode.


    He would not tolerate a woman like her barging into his space.


    Furious, Everett swept his arm across the desk, knocking the half-eaten breakfast to the ground. "You make me sick. Don’t ever show your face in front of me again! Is it only when people throw insults at you that you realize how disgusting you are? Unbelievable."


    Gianna’s face turned pale. She stumbled back several steps, eyes brimming with tears. But she didn’t dare say another word. She’d never seen Everett this furious—he was like apletely different person.


    "Madam, please leave. Don’t interrupt our young master’s work again," Tobias said coldly, his expression hardening.


    Gianna silently ced the breakfast box down and rushed out of the office, covering her face as she went.


    Everett scoffed. "Feed that to the dogs."


    "Yes, sir," Tobias replied quickly.


    Without saying another word, he called the cleaning staff in to clean up the mess Everett had thrown to the floor.


    Everett was breathing heavily, his head pounding. How the hell had the old man managed to live with a woman like that for over a decade? That was something he almost had to admire.


    "From now on, if that woman ever sets foot in thispany, kick her out immediately. I don’t want this happening again."


    "Yes, young master!"


    His assistants stood silently, not daring to speak a word. Everett opened the file in front of him, determined to finish work early—so he could go see Aurora.


    ?


    By lunchtime, another uninvited guest arrived at the office.


    It was Delh.


    With her heart-shaped face, big eyes, and naturally curledshes, she was the kind of girl everyone liked—charming and easy to be around, even if her looks weren’t exactly jaw-dropping.


    She wasn’t like Aurora—elegant and breathtaking.


    At the time, Everett was having lunch when Delh shamelessly barged into the private room, even though it was just him and Tobias inside.


    "Everett, you’re the worst," Delh said, plopping down next to him. "We grew up together—when are you going to fix that awful temper of yours?"


    "I went all the way to Country S to find youst time, and you avoided me like the gue. I had no choice but toe find you here."


    She had gotten Ophelia’s message at 11:30 and rushed over, just to catch a glimpse of Everett.


    She had liked him since middle school—he was always cold and distant.


    But this time, Delh was hoping she could finally get close to him. Maybe even move his heart.


    "Everett, why won’t you talk to me? I heard that rising star from your Country Sbel came here to shoot an MV—and you’re just a supporting role? Why don’t you take me to meet her? I’m a huge fan!"


    Delh was grasping at straws. She knew Everett and Aurora had some kind of rtionship.


    It was the only angle she had, hoping that by spending more time together, he might start liking her.


    "Are you even listening?" she pouted, annoyed by his cold face. She reached out and shook his arm.


    Only then did Everett finally look up at her.


    That woman had already rejected him—so why did he still think about her the moment her name came up?


    Maybe... this was an opportunity?


    "Sit. I’ll take you to meet her tonight," Everett said calmly.


    Delh lit up and scooted closer. "I’m starving. Gimme a menu—I’m eating too."


    "Tobias, give her a menu," Everett said, his tone t.


    Tobias was stunned. The young master rarely ate with women. Last time Delh came to find him, he had t-out refused to see her. Why was he letting her stay this time?


    As he handed her the menu, it hit him—Everett was only using this as an excuse to go see Aurora. Nothing more.


    "Everett, do you like Aurora or something? But why aren’t you together? How about... dating me instead? I can be your sweet little girlfriend. I’m obedient and super low-maintenance!"


    Delh grinned. She was lively and upbeat, and lots of guys liked her at school. But none of them ever measured up to Everett.


    No matter how great they were, they weren’t him.


    "I don’t need a doll."


    Everett nced at her. Obedient? Low-maintenance? No thanks. That kind of woman bored him to death.


    With Aurora, they could argue, trade jabs, even fight a little—that’s what kept things interesting.


    "I’m not a doll!" Delh protested. "You want spicy? I can be your fiery, savage girlfriend too!"


    She tugged on his sleeve yfully.


    Everett coldly pulled his arm away. "Don’t get it twisted. I said I’d take you to meet Aurora. That doesn’t mean I’m dating you."


    Delh looked down, a little deted. But still—it was progress. At least he wasn’t avoiding her this time.


    To Everett, Delh was just the friendly girl next door—not his type.


    He didn’t hate her, but he didn’t like her either.


    If Gianna was a disaster, Delh was miles better—but she still couldn’t touch Aurora’s ce in his heart.


    Delh caught on quick and didn’t dare keep chattering. She quietly sat beside him and ate lunch.


    After Everett finished eating, Delh waited in the lounge outside, hanging around until he was ready to take her to meet Aurora.


    "Ophelia, I finally got close to him. Thanks so much! He’s even taking me to meet Aurora—I’m so excited I could scream."


    Delh texted Ophelia as she waited in the lounge.


    Ophelia didn’t reply—probably still in ss.


    In Y City, the skies were starting to darken. A snowstorm looked like it was on the way.


    Director Z and severalpany execs were on a video call, discussing which location to choose for Aurora’s Love You MV shoot.


    When Aurora got the message, she was in the middle of a face mask.


    But she didn’t mind. The scenery in Y Country was actually decent. Shooting here would let them incorporate some localndscapes, then blend it with visuals from Country S. It beat filming everything back home.


    After she washed her face, Dominic got another call from Director Z.


    "Aurora, he said to meet everyone for dinner at 5 p.m. on the ninth floor of the hotel."
