Selena’s calmness made Eric feel uneasy, distant, and even a little cold.Eric returned to the villa.The servant looked at him with worry. “Ms. Ferguson, you’re back.”“Where is she?”Eric’s voice was deep, and his face was sharp.The servant paused. “Ms. Nelson said that she ate too much and wanted to go out for a walk.”Eric’s face suddenly sank.“Didn’t I tell you not to let her leave the house?”The servant was nervous for a moment.“But Ms. Nelson said she would come back after strolling around.”The servants were in a dilemma. Selena was the future lady boss, so how could they stop her?Moreover, Selena had legs, and Eric did not tie her up. Even if they wanted to stop her, they could not.Eric’s face darkened.He picked up his phone to call Selena.However, he put his phone away when he thought of something.He chuckled in a low voice and thought that he was being a little ridiculous.Ever since he learned about what happened online, he had been anxious.It was
Selena did not stay smug for long after eating the barbecue.After they entered the bedroom, Eric was suddenly interrupted by an urgent call.When he came back after the phone call, Selena was already curled up on the bed due to a stomach ache. She dared not move.Eric’s complexion changed, and he took a deep breath.Selena slowly stretched out her hand and looked at him with disappointment.“Quick, help me! What are you still doing?”Eric immediately called the hospital, then he bent down to pick her up and ran outside.As soon as he went out, he saw the driver had just sent Chance home.Chance watched in shock as Eric rushed into the car with Selena.“Aunt Selena, what’s wrong with you?”Eric was anxious and flustered, but he did not forget to use this opportunity to teach his son a lesson.“This is the consequence of eating junk food!”Selena was speechless as she thought, ‘Damn this b*stard!’However, she was not in the mood to scold him now.She was sure that she ate
It was the end of the month.Julie called Selena.“Ms. Nelson, I would like to invite you to the movie premiere. After all, you participated in this film, and everyone must be looking forward to seeing you. But I respect your decision either way.”Selena paused. She had never participated in such an event, so she was a little uneasy.Just as she was about to reject Julie’s invitation, Julie happily added, “By the way, the male and female lead will also join. Don’t you like the male lead, Harvey Sage? I can arrange for you to take a photo with him. He’s an actor from Falcon Entertainment. If you don’t want to walk on the red carpet, you can attend the banquet after the screening. We hired a renowned chef, and his cooking is superb.”Julie introduced the event excitedly, and Selena responded with a smile.“Okay, I’ll go, just for Harvey.”Anyway, Selena had nothing to do.Moreover, with Julie and Nicole there, Selena felt that nothing out of the ordinary would happen.Selena hun
Selena kept promoting her bar, and everyone nodded repeatedly.Finally, Selena quietly went to tell Harvey, “If you come, I’ll give you a 50% discount!”Harvey was polite and asked for her business card. “I must go some time, then.”The two looked at each other and smiled.None of them noticed the commotion at the door.Unexpectedly, Eric came.Thus, there was a big commotion.The organizer and crew went up to greet Eric.Julie was on the phone with Kai at that moment. She inadvertently glanced at Eric and finally looked at Selena meaningfully before she turned away.She smiled and continued to speak with her head down.“Alright, I’ll go home when the event is over. There’s about to be some drama, so I have to go!”As soon as Eric came in, his gaze fell on the two people who were still talking.His eyes seemed to be frozen.Harvey spotted Eric while he was talking to Selena. He was hesitating about whether to go over to say hello when he suddenly remembered that Selena was
Larry Yeager had exhausted all means. At this moment, he could only make use of the public opinion to force Eric to compromise. That was why he went all out today.Eric was disgusted by this.Eric’s face became gloomy and cold.However, he did not hesitate and strode right into the office.Mitchell had instructed the bodyguards to wait for Eric at the entrance.As soon as Eric came, the bodyguards automatically split into two teams and flanked Eric’s side.All of them went into the president’s exclusive elevator.However, Larry did not let him go so easily.They were waiting for Eric to show up.“Mr. Ferguson is here! Mr. Ferguson is here…”“Mr. Ferguson, please have mercy on me. I don’t know how I offended you in the past. Why did you use such a ruthless method to lock up our funds with that project? We’re diligent taxpayers and have contributed to the city. You can’t do that to us…”Larry should not be discharged from the hospital as he was still lying on a stretcher. He w
The image Cindy had maintained for a long time finally collapsed.As soon as Eric turned around, Cindy became flustered. She took a few steps forward and said, “Eric, did you deny that we have ever dated because you only love Nicole?”Eric paused slightly.Mitchell’s face changed. He had a bad premonition about this.Eric’s side profile was sharp and angular. He looked indifferent and unapproachable.Cindy’s focus suddenly shifted from business to feelings.The tabloid reporters suddenly found a new purpose.Eric was silent for a few seconds, said two words, and left immediately after.After hearing these two words, Mitchell changed his expression before he followed Eric out.Eric said, “Of course.”Of course, Eric only loved Nicole.Others would not think much about it and might even praise him for being so affectionate.However, Mitchell was the only one who knew that Eric was with Selena. Eric was obviously in love with Selena, but he still did not realize it.If Selena
Selena looked at it and accepted it without burden.“Thank you. I thought you bought it specially for Valentine’s Day. Thank goodness, it isn’t that.”Eric paused slightly before he turned around to look back at her.He scrutinized her with gloomy eyes.“Why?”Selena blinked her eyes and said frankly.“Because we’re not a couple!”Valentine’s Day was for couples.Since they were not a couple, it would be ridiculous to celebrate Valentine’s Day.Thus, Selena breathed a sigh of relief at Eric’s behavior.It was just a bouquet of cheap roses, so Selena had no trouble accepting it.Eric’s heart suddenly clenched as a thin thread strangled his body. Those inexplicably sharp words made his heart ache.For some reason, Eric found it hard to breathe.He pursed his lips, and his eyes flickered.He was about to say something when Selena suddenly stepped forward and hugged him while holding the flowers.“But thanks for taking me in when I was at my loneliest. Although we’re not a c
Since it was an unfamiliar number, Selena rejected the call.However, the caller persisted.Finally, Selena picked it up in frustration. “Who’s calling?”“It’s me. Shall we meet?”The other party was arrogant. It was a female voice.Selena paused and recognized the voice, but she did not admit it.“Oh, who are you? Now that my net worth has increased, I won’t just meet anyone. I don’t even know your name.”The other party was silent for more than ten seconds before reluctantly speaking.“It’s me, Cindy Yeager. Let’s meet up, Ms. Nelson. I have a favor to ask of you.”Selena got up from the bed, smiled, and stood on the balcony, looking at the lush green scenery outside. She was in a good mood.“I don’t think that’s necessary. I heard from Eric that your family is dangerous and that you might harm me when cornered, so he told me to stay away from you.”Cindy’s breathing was a little labored because she was pissed off.“He’s not a good guy. Why didn’t he just... You don’t hav
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
