Why was it that Eric did not feel like Selena was his even when she was lying beside him?Eric did not sleep all night.The next day, when the doctors from the specialist team came to check on Eric, Selena was still asleep.Eric could see the light source out of the corner of his eye last night.Thus, the specialists had to know of this change in vision.Two hours later, the team of specialists breathed a sigh of relief.“Mr. Ferguson, your eyes have improved after just one month. This is a very good sign. You can use your left eye properly, and the blood clot in your right eye has begun to dissipate. You’ll probably regain your eyesight in a few days. However, your right eye socket still needs proper care. You must not bump into anything hard. Otherwise, the fracture will worsen.”Eric nodded slightly.The specialist smiled. “By the way, where is Ms. Nelson? She must be very happy if she knows this!”Every time before the consultation, Selena would wander around and worry abo
Selena left.Eric went downstairs.The servant knew that Eric’s left eye had recovered, so she did not have to be so careful anymore.“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Nelson just said that she’s going to the bar.”Eric tightened his jaw with a gloomy face. His body was tense and cold.His eyes were deep and distant. “I know. I’m going to the office.”His driver had been waiting outside.Eric would not waste time.Selena invited everyone to a meal and gave everyone their compensation.Everyone was reluctant to part ways, which made it even sadder.Before eating, Chaz told her the advantages and disadvantages of the two options.If they chose to move, they would need to take a big risk and lose their old customers.That was because everyone only went to the bar for convenience and relaxation. They would not go to another location if it was too far.Moreover, the new location was closer to a residential building. The residents would complain about noise levels and report them if their slee
Eric would not say that out loud.He passed the cake to Chance and said indifferently, “Don’t eat sweets at night. Just look at it and don’t eat it.”Chance could only see it but not taste it.Chance froze slightly.He immediately looked sad.Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. Eric was such a Debbie downer.She coughed and walked over. “Just take a small bite, but remember to brush your teeth and put the rest downstairs.”Seeing that Eric did not object, Chance nodded happily.Chance left. Selena looked at Eric, opened the door, and walked in holding his arm.“Mr. Ferguson, are you making up the hours for all the medical leave that you took?”The corners of Eric’s mouth rose slightly. He sounded a little helpless and innocent.“There are too many things to do, so I had no choice. I will try to come back as soon as possible in the future.”Eric thought Selena was worried about him because he came back too late. That was why she complained so much.Such complaints sou
Selena glanced at Jennifer speechlessly and indifferently.Such words no longer had any effect on Selena.The mental discomfort at the beginning was just because Selena suddenly recalled the bad memories from her time with the Nelson family,Selena had already heard everything that Jennifer said to her before.She also thought about it.So, she was no longer angry or shocked.Selena knew better than anyone how unsuitable Eric and she were.Chaz could not listen to this anymore and said, “Why are you so foul-mouthed? Did you come out without brushing your teeth? Are you envious that Selena can be with Eric? That’s right! At least Selena can be with Eric. Eric won’t even look at you. No wonder all you can do is make sarcastic remarks here! Selena, let’s go. We shouldn’t deal with such people. She’s a psycho who hates people. Let’s ask Mr. Ferguson for help!”Chaz pulled Selena and turned around to leave.Before he turned around, Jennifer provoked them.“You two are really good
Sure enough, Mr. Griffin stood there with a pale and scrunched-up face.He was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he gulped and quickly said, “Mr. Ferguson, don’t keep the time! I’ll leave right now…”Mr. Griffin took his things and ran out as fast as he could.“I left! I left!”When the bar fell silent, Selena could not help but laugh out loud.“Okay, he’s gone now. You can hang up.”Selena said to the man on the phone.“Wait a minute. Um, Selena, what color flowers do you like?”Selena was speechless.She thought she had misheard him and wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.As a result, Eric asked again patiently, “What color of flowers do you like?”Selena pursed her lips. “Why? Do you want to buy me flowers? Just get me any color. I guess it depends on what the old lady on the street sells.”After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.Selena thought it was a little funny.The flowers that Eric bought her last time were unsold leftover flowers fro
Selena was wearing a denim skirt and shirt that were covered with dust in the afternoon.Although she had touched up her makeup before going to Chance’s school, everyone judged her based on her outfit. No matter how good-looking Selena was, she did not attract too much attention.She could leave after listening to the teacher for a while.Chance performed very well in school. He was also too mature and quiet.Thus, the teacher was not worried about Chance’s academic performance, but his mental health.When Chance first transferred to their school, he did not like to talk. He was still the same.In short, Chance’s family did not pay enough attention to him.Selena nodded after listening to the teacher and left with Chance.Some problems could not be solved by an outsider, but Selena would convey the teacher’s words to Eric.Chance ran over happily when he saw Selena.Selena reached out and took his school bag while Chance happily went over to hold her hand.“Aunt Selena, it’l
Selena interrupted Eric with a smile. “I think you’re too impulsive.”However, Eric got down on one knee in front of Selena and solemnly took out a ring from his pocket.That ring was the one that inexplicably appeared on her ring finger and she had returned.Selena’s expression was unbearably tense.She could barely maintain the smile on her face.Her heart cooled down a little, but Eric’s blood was boiling from head to toe.Eric’s emotions were a little turbulent. His expression fluctuated greatly, and he looked up at her with bright eyes.At this moment, Selena was looking down on him.With their position suddenly reversed, Selena was in a trance for a moment.Was Eric serious?However, even if Eric was serious, he did not discuss it with her.Selena felt as if she had fallen into a deep, bottomless pool without any ripples.She should be excited. She should be covering her mouth and crying in excitement just to fit the occasion, but she did not.Selena was so calm that
It turned out that their hearts had grown apart since then.Selena could get herself out of their relationship easily, but Eric fell deeper in love with her.Eric parked the car, got out, and opened the door for Selena.Selena let Chance get into the car first. Then, she also sat in the back.The car was dead silent.No one spoke.Eric seemed to be waiting for his sentence every minute of their silence.He felt weak.His palms were sweaty, but no one noticed except him.Chance also seemed to feel the solemnity and tension between the adults. He looked at Selena for a while, and then at Eric.He dared not speak either.Selena just stared blankly at the passing scenery outside the window.The glow in the distant sky gradually dimmed, like a thin layer of rouge that was about to fade.No one spoke the entire journey home.Back at the villa, Chance returned to his room obediently.Selena also got out of the car.Eric was in the car. He looked at her back and took out a pack
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
