Selena was not afraid of others watching her. She stood there righteously and said with a smile, “Ms. Yeager, go home. Mr. Ferguson doesn’t want to see you.”“Whatever you say isn’t credible. I don’t believe that you conveyed the message. How about this? Ask Mr. Ferguson to come out and tell me in person.”Cindy lifted her chin with a haughty look. She would not give up until she reached her goal.Selena raised her eyebrows nonchalantly.“Ms. Yeager, don’t you understand? You’re being rude for coming here uninvited. Is this what the Yeager family is capable of? To tell you the truth, Eric can’t come out because he’s still lying in bed naked from having too much sex last night.”“You… You’re shameless!”Cindy yelled.Selena laughed. Her slender neck and shoulders were straight, and she was a charming woman. When she stood there, she looked more like an arrogant little temptress.“You’re even more shameless than I am!”Selena was not the type to just let someone scold her.She
“I knew you’d been coveting me for a long time. Don’t try to stay by my side through crooked ways. I’m not interested in a woman like you!”Eric said coldly.He tried his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.He told himself to be calm and rational.It must be because he had not touched a woman for so long.Selena nodded seriously.“Okay. It’s my fault. Just take it as I’ve lost my mind. It’s not like I haven’t seen a man before!”Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly and thought, ‘So what if I kissed him? He sounded like I stole his virginity! It’s not like I kissed a married man or a monk. Was he that great? I was just confused for a moment!’Eric casually looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.“Oh, of course you’ve seen it before. Did your heart beat faster when you were with Derek Norton?”This question made the temperature in the room drop to a freezing point.Selena’s good mood completely crashed.With a shocked expression on her face, she slowly turne
Eric stood there motionless.His pride would not allow him to keep a woman who had nothing to do with him.Moreover, there was an ambiguous tension between them.Eric could not see through his own heart, nor could he see through hers.Thus, he dared not take a step forward.That was because he could not promise that he would give her everything as his wife.Eric was helpless.He stood there like a sculpture, cold and stiff.Then, he heard the car engine downstairs.Selena had probably asked the driver to take her home. With her temper, Selena had already gotten the servants to listen to her only after a few days here.Eric pursed his lips. His eyes gradually became indifferent.......In the bar, there was no one there during the day. Thus, when Selena went back, no one was around.At last, she was back on her own turf and did not need to walk around eggshells anymore.Selena went upstairs, threw her things there, and went back downstairs.She was not angry because of Er
Perhaps due to their professions, everyone had a straight posture and great build, which was pleasing to the eye.The boys were interested in the truck and excitedly wanted to climb up to take a closer look.The girls only surrounded the good-looking firefighters and asked for hugs.Seeing this, Selena felt that having a thing for good-looking men was a bad habit that developed since young.Zachary’s colleagues saw the woman behind Zachary and looked at him with a playful smile. Then, they greeted her as if they already knew who she was.One of the youngest smiled naively and asked, “Zach, is this the owner of the bar that you helped to buy fire-fighting equipment for?”Everyone else pricked up their ears and listened.Only Selena was a little shocked and thought, ‘So many people knew about this?’Zachary lightly reprimanded him with a carefree smile.“Fortunately, she is. If not, you would’ve ruined my chances!”The others chuckled.Selena also stood up and said with a smil
The air was still for a moment.Selena came back to her senses and realized that she was too close to Zachary.She quickly moved her toes to push the swing back.However, Zachary suddenly pulled the chain forward. He looked persistent and stared at her without blinking.He seemed to be exploring the answer on her face.“Selena?”Selena coughed, looked away, and calmed down her beating heart.She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and regained her composure.“Zach, don’t be impulsive. You shouldn’t be hung up on me because I rejected you back then. I know exactly what I’m worth.”Zachary was a firefighter, but he was not from a simple family.In that dinner with Eric, Zachary was able to sit among the big shots and maintain his composure with ease as if no one else was there. This showed that he would return to his original position after all.Even if he was in a relationship, he would have to find someone who matched him.Selena did not want to be chucked aside after being
Selena thought that Zachary was a rare gem among men.Thus, she did not mind considering him.After a while, Zachary’s colleagues, who were concerned about Zachary’s love life, quickly urged him to accompany Selena.Fortunately, Zachary did not bring up the matter of Selena being his girlfriend again. Thus, Selena and Zachary got along quite casually.Zachary was an easygoing person to talk to, so it did not feel awkward around him. He would share some interesting stories from time to time, which made Selena laugh uncontrollably.“Two days ago when we were on the job to put out a fire at an old man’s house, he said his son was at home, so we went in to rescue him. But we searched several times and couldn’t find anyone. Even after the fire was extinguished, we couldn’t find his son. But guess what? His son was a cat. As soon as the fire broke out, the cat ran away. The old man saw that the cat was unscathed and got so angry that he beat the cat with a stick…”These were just trivi
Selena stood there. Even if she was a little scared of Eric, she could not show it.After settling her emotions for a while, Selena narrowed her eyes and walked in slowly.She saw that the man was standing there motionless, so she could not help but say, “I was wondering who could be so rude to enter my bedroom uninvited. It turned out to be you, Mr. Ferguson. I’m not surprised by this. After all, no one but you will do this.”Facing Selena’s derision, Eric did not get angry and yell back.On the contrary, he was uncharacteristically calm. He squinted his eyes and looked stern.“Who sent you back?”Eric could see clearly from upstairs just now, but he just wanted to hear Selena tell him in person.He had investigated everything about Zachary, so he naturally remembered what car Zachary drove.Eric had come to apologize and reconcile with Selena, but when he saw that scene earlier, he was infuriated.This woman was really restless!Selena was puzzled by Eric’s indifferent atti
“I’m sorry.”Eric blurted out in a low voice.It seemed that the apology that he had been stewing on was not that difficult to say.Why did he have to make things worse when he could solve the problem with these two words?Eric did not feel much better when he saw Selena suffer, apologize, and act indifferent.He had only one feeling, and that was that he had screwed up very badly.Selena thought she had misheard, so she raised her eyes to look at him.Eric’s chiseled face was reflected in her eyes. He was shrouded in a halo that made him look exceptionally good-looking.Eric was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, “I came to apologize. What I said just now was inappropriate, so I take it back. Please don’t take it to heart. We’re friends, and I don’t mean to look down on your past. You’re brave and upright to be able to break free from your past marriage. There’s nothing to mention, so I won’t bring it up again.”Selena raised her eyes and met his shallow gaze
Chatty and Fischer had been apart for so long, so they cried when they finally hugged.Fischer could not bear to see her cry.When her sobbing eased a little, Fischer lowered his head to wipe her tears and gently coaxed her not to cry.Chatty took a deep breath and calmed herself down as soon as possible.She had so many questions for him.Seeing that her eyes were swollen from crying, Fischer pinched her cheek and said with a smile, “Do you still want to drink coffee? If you don’t want this, we can go to my place, and I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”Chatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chatty’s hand. He turned around to pick up her bag and pushed the door open.The waiter at the back was envious that they were such a perfect match.Chatty saw that he was holding her hand and felt as if an electric current passed through her heart.When they were young, Fischer often held her hand. They were inseparable, and he liked her the most.Was he still the same
After Chatty left, Clayton sighed miserably for several days, and Nicole was speechless when she saw this.Life in school was not so boring.Although Chatty had been spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or insufferable.Chatty was bubbly, outgoing, and clever, so she was very popular.From time to time, she invited everyone to party in her big villa. Thus, everyone loved her even more.Chatty also enjoyed her time alone.She would go for a walk along the Seine and feed the pigeons in the sunset...However, she always felt that someone was watching her whenever she was alone.Even so, she did not think much about it. After all, her father arranged so many security personnel for her.Maybe that stare was from a bodyguard.Chatty walked alone in the sunset with an ice cream in hand and a limited-edition bag that her mom bought for her. Chatty was planning to send this bag back to Mediania.She was a young and beautiful lady with stunning features, so she was a sight to
Clayton talked to Chatty about studying abroad.Chatty agreed without hesitation.He asked her where she wanted to go, to which she replied that she was fine with anywhere except France.Clayton pondered for a while before asking, “Are you reluctant about France because of Fischer?”Chatty’s eyes turned red.“I don’t remember him at all. Daddy, don’t mention him!”She felt aggrieved.Chatty grew up with him, and he suddenly disappeared one day.It felt like a dream.That person was no longer behind her. Fischer was no longer around.Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.“Chatty, now that you’ve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldn’t contact you, so if you see him in the future, don’t blame him.”Chatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Clayton’s eye, so when had she ever suffered any grievanc
In the blink of an eye, Chatty grew up.As soon as she graduated from high school, she found a boyfriend.She was also happy to go home and share the good news with Nicole.Nicole did not think much of it. She thought that her daughter should enjoy the feeling of sweet and youthful love.Thus, Nicole asked Chatty about her feelings and did not think she was too serious in a relationship.Nicole felt that she could turn a blind eye to it.However, when Clayton found out, he could not sleep all night.Clayton intended to have a good talk with his daughter.Chatty did not think much of it.“Everyone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didn’t have one, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while I’m young. Otherwise, it won’t be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isn’t perfect!”Clayton tried to persuade her. “You’re still young. If you see the world, you’ll know that men aren’t great.”“Then is Mommy blind since she’s with y
Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.The autopsy results came out overnight.Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selena’s aunt.They followed the lead and arrested her.The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and
Jade was silent for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips.“I don’t care what method you use. You must get your parents to see Selena. Otherwise, I will make your parents drink this bottle of potassium cyanide.”Jennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.“Okay.”She spoke in a low voice.The uneasiness and fear in her eyes could not be concealed.......A few days later, the opportunity came.Eric specially brought Selena to attend a charity auction to relax her mind.Moreover, he also bought a lot of jewelry and antiques. Soon, he became the focus of the crowd.After the auction, there was a charity dinner.Jennifer’s parents managed to get an invitation through various channels.Jade was already in the center of the venue. She wanted to watch this good show, but Jennifer’s parents came late, and the crowd dispersed when they arrived.Jade was furious.If they missed this opportunity, how long would they have to wait for the next opportunity?The Stan
When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.“The past is in the past. Let’s forgive each other, okay?”Nicole nodded with sore eyes.“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare
Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”Jade’s complexion was dull.“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jade’s face turned pale.“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”Nicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.“Then… What did you discuss?”Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.“You… You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!”Nicole sneered
