The woman was ridiculed and felt insulted.Her face turned red, and her voice suddenly became sharp.“How dare you say that about me? Do you know who I am? My dad is...”“Ms. Nelson...”Mitchell heard the noise and immediately ran over.He was afraid that a fight would break out if he got there any later.“Ms. Jennings, is there some misunderstanding? It’s best not to argue here.”“Mr. Crawford, this shameless person...”Jayla Jennings pointed at Selena in accusation.Mitchell stepped forward and interrupted her.“Ms. Jennings, Mr. Jennings just mentioned that he wanted you to meet Mr. Ferguson. You should go ahead.”Jayla’s face lit up. “Really?”She smiled and looked at Selena smugly.“I’ll let you off this time. Next time, you’d better watch out and avoid seeing me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”“Are you a pile of sh*t that I have to avoid when I see you?”Selena muttered softly.Jayla’s complexion changed. She was hot-tempered and irritated because no o
Chance was Eric’s only son.If something happened to him, Mitchell could not afford the consequences.Mitchell fell silent.After a while, the bodyguards brought the perpetrator over.Someone knocked on the door.Standing at the door was a young and average-looking girl. She was a plain jane that no one would notice if put in a crowd.The person in charge paused and said, “Her name is Hannah Simpson.”Hannah looked a little flustered.“Boss, what can I do for you?”She did not seem to know what was going on.Mitchell glanced at the person in charge. The man had a glum face and scolded the girl.“You were the only one who entered Young Master Chance’s room the whole night. What did you feed him?”Hannah paused. “I didn’t. He said he was hungry, so I brought him some food from the back kitchen. After he finished eating, I took it away. What’s wrong?”The person in charge took a deep breath.“The back kitchen?! Didn’t you know his identity? How could you give him a staff mea
Eric could not help but overthink the situation.Did Selena have ulterior motives?When Selena saw Eric standing there looking tall and upright, her face froze slightly. His condescending and aloof attitude made her feel uncomfortable.However, at this time, she could not care less.Selena stood up, looked at him, and said bluntly, “Mr. Ferguson, I came with the doctor’s car earlier. I discovered that something was wrong with Chance, but when I went to inform you, you deliberately ignored me. What were you thinking at that time? Did you think that I was interrupting your blind date? Or was I interrupting you from discussing business with those people? We don’t know each other that well yet, and I was just grateful to you. I don’t think I gave you any hints about wanting to advance our relationship, so you don’t have to guard against me like I’m a thief, right? Yes, I’m not at your social level, and I’m not worthy of speaking to you, but you don’t need to avoid me like the plague, r
Earlier at the banquet, that woman was conversing happily with Eric.She was well-matched with Eric in their temperaments and family background.That woman was Cindy Yeager, the only daughter of the Yeager family, and the actual person in charge of Yeager Corporation.Cindy was a good-looking and strong career woman with high academic qualifications.Eric despised pretentious ladies and appreciated this kind of ambitious woman.That was because they all reminded him of Nicole.Eric did not want to admit it, but it was true.At the banquet just now, Cindy was also the only woman who talked with Eric.Many guests could tell that Eric would only choose a wife who could stand side by side with him instead of clinging to him for support.Thus, Cindy Yeager’s appearance made many women give up.It was impossible for Cindy not to hear the argument between Eric and Selena.When Cindy arrived, she smiled nonchalantly, which made people feel comfortable around her.Cindy did not ask
Mitchell immediately shrank his neck and kept silent.He paused and handed over the Rubik’s Cube in his hand to Eric.“Ms. Nelson gave this to Young Master Chance. He likes it very much. Shall I put it by his bedside?”Chance must be happy to see it.Eric glanced at Mitchell coldly.“Who would like such childish things? Can’t you tell if Chance is just being polite?”Mitchell was speechless and thought, ‘Did Eric eat gunpowder?’When they got to the door of the ward, the doctor had already packed up and left. The dean was still there, obviously waiting for Eric.“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Yeager left earlier. She asked me to send her regards.”Eric nodded lightly as if he did not care at all.The reason why Cindy told the dean to send her regards was that she did not have Eric’s contact information.Cindy did not take the initiative to ask for it either. Eric was very satisfied with her sense of propriety.However, Eric suddenly thought about what Selena said just now that no one w
Mitchell paused and smiled calmly.“Of course not! Your father immediately left the banquet as soon as he heard about your accident. He loves you very much, Chance. He’ll gradually get better at being a father, so we must give him a chance!”Chance nodded obediently.Mitchell poured out the chicken soup that was light and nutritious. It was specially made according to the nutritionist’s recipe.“Eat slowly. Just take half a bowl first. Otherwise, it’ll be too much for your stomach to handle.”Chance nodded obediently.He lowered his head and ate slowly with a spoon. The veins on the back of his small hand were a little bruised by the needle, which was particularly conspicuous.Chance held the Rubik’s cube in his other hand and did not let go.Mitchell smiled and asked, “Do you like this Rubik’s cube that much?”Chance nodded. “A lady gave it to me.”There were so many people at the banquet last night, supposedly to celebrate Chance’s birthday.However, no one prepared a suit
Cindy’s arm froze mid-air before she smiled and tucked Chance under the quilt.She said, “Chance looks so cute and resembles Mr. Ferguson. He’s even more good-looking than the child actors on TV!”Larry nodded in agreement.Mitchell stood aside and smiled slightly.The Yeagers continued to praise Chance for ten minutes. Fortunately, Chance was able to handle them.Although Chance was a child, he was not rude and spoke politely. He was so innocent that whatever he said made people feel relaxed and happy.After Larry said a few words, he stood up to leave.Before he left, he looked at Cindy.“Mr. Ferguson is busy with work. We have had some business dealings with Ferguson Corporation lately, so you should help him to share some burdens and take care of Young Master Chance. Don’t let Mr. Ferguson get worried because it’ll affect our cooperation.”Cindy nodded and said with a smile, “I know, Dad. I’ll visit Chance often. I like him very much, and we get along well.”“Okay, good.”
Eric’s expression changed subtly, and his face became tense. It was clear that he was also a little anxious.“My apologies, I have a sudden emergency at home and need to go back now. Let’s meet again next time.”Eric glanced at Mitchell, nodded, and stood up to leave.Mitchell apologized to the crowd again to appease them and hurried to the entrance.Eric had already gotten into the car.As soon as Mitchell got into the car, the driver started the car engine.They dared not delay for another second.“How is he?”Eric was dizzy from drinking, so he lowered the car window to get some cold and fresh air.Mitchell replied, “He suddenly developed a fever. They say that he has a reaction to the imported medicine. I’ve already informed someone to go over and have a look.”However, Mitchell did not tell him who that “someone” was.That was because Mitchell was afraid that Eric would scold Selena if he found out.The disadvantages outweighed the benefits.The sky was dark, and the
