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
Mitchell sent Selena another message. [Which uneducated b*stard gave you this scrap paper, Ms. Nelson? Next time, you can ask me if you don’t understand anything. I’ll answer your questions anytime!]Selena paused and replied.[Thank you. I think it’s better you don’t know.]Mitchell was speechless.He suddenly thought that something was wrong.Could it be... Mr. Ferguson?The chat between Selena and Mitchell came to an abrupt end.Selena took a deep breath and thought of the happiest moments in her life before she could suppress the anger in her heart.Otherwise, she would really explode.When she calmed down and planned to go downstairs, Eric suddenly sent her a message.[I forgot to sign that check just now. Come over tomorrow, and I’ll sign it for you.]Selena did not have any regrets in her heart. She even thought that this was just another one of his traps.Did that motherf*cker think that she was an idiot?Selena replied. [Get lost! I don’t want your stupid money!]
That was why Julie tried her best to invite Selena to make a guest appearance.Julie always had an eye for potential.It was just a short clip of around ten seconds, yet it had caused quite a stir online in an instant.[OMG! She’s so beautiful! I want to know who she is!][Isn’t this the singing bar owner some time ago?][OMG! Her figure is amazing!][She’s so much better than many celebrities. I’m now her true fan!]......Selena was in the bar, holding a cigarette in one hand while scrolling through the comments on her phone.She clicked her tongue and felt a little helpless.“Everyone has great tastes to appreciate me so much!”Chaz was speechless and thought, ‘If her fans see this, they will surely cancel her immediately…’The waiter, who was interested in the topic, came over and asked, “Boss, what’s next after this clip? Can you give us some spoilers?”Selena could not help but laugh.“She’ll undress, of course!”Everyone was shocked.Was this something they were
Soon, the person the Yeagers had been waiting for arrived.That person did not seem the slightest bit guilty for being late.A little boy followed him.The kid liked to look around and saw Selena at a glance.He thought about going there to surprise Selena, but he realized that he came with Eric, so he was hesitant.Since Chance saw Selena, Eric naturally saw her too.Eric folded his sleeves with one hand and looked stern as he glanced in the direction of Selena and Zachary. He was exuding such a frightening chill, but the couple did not notice him at all.Selena and Zachary ate happily and chatted about everything. Occasionally, they would talk about the people around them in a low voice.The more they talked, the more they hit it off. They were also no longer as distant as before.They looked like a young couple in love.This scene was an eyesore to Eric.He thought, ‘Hah! No wonder that woman was unmoved when I hinted that she could pursue me last time. She even uncharact
The Yeagers wanted a project that Eric had and expressed it in any way they could.In the end, they had a few rounds of drinks.At one point, Eric suddenly laughed good-naturedly and looked at Larry, who was apprehensive. Eric said in a cold voice, “Since your company has already withdrawn from the project, it’s impossible for you to rejoin the project. If you really want it, I can give you another opportunity. Some time ago, my project in a neighboring city had already finished laying the foundation. But I encountered some difficulties with that project, so I don’t plan to continue it. Mr. Yeager, if you’re interested, you can take it.”Larry was slightly taken aback. He drank a lot of wine all night, so his face was flushed from the alcohol.On the contrary, Eric only sipped on his drink and did not drink much. Thus, he did not look drunk at all.Cindy was distressed when she saw her father like this. However, she did not dare to say a word. She also drank a lot, so her mind w
Eric smiled slyly, but it was a fleeting moment.Cindy was stunned for a moment.Larry touched his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said, “Okay, in that case, we’ll notify the bank immediately and prepare the staff. Tomorrow morning, my people will go for the handover.”Eric nodded and looked at the time.“In that case, let’s go back and prepare for it.”Eric stood up.Seeing this, Larry and Cindy did not keep him.They left the table. When Eric walked out, he found that the people behind him had long since disappeared.Everyone at that table left.His eyes dimmed slightly. Finally, he casually walked to the entrance of the restaurant.Chance was already sitting inside the car, obediently doing the homework assigned by Eric.Eric stood there. He was not in a hurry to get in the car. Instead, he looked at Chance with deep eyes and paused slightly.“Dinner’s over? Where did they go?”Chance pursed his lips and did not want to say anything, but Chance could not lie under Eric
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
