Selena’s tone was sharp and sarcastic.“Pooh! I’m blind if I can fall in love with a b*stard like Eric! Tell Cindy to relax because there’s no way I’ll like that man!”Mitchell gulped. His heart trembled because of what Selena said.He had never seen Selena so grumpy before.Selena revealed her true nature after the divorce. It was also clear that she was pissed at Eric.That was because Eric said some harsh things to her.People who did not fawn over Eric would not put up with him.Mitchell felt the same way.The cold wind blew, making Mitchell shiver.“I’m sorry that Ms. Yeager spoke to you aggressively, but I begged you to help!”“It’s okay, Mr. Crawford. I helped because you asked, not because of that b*stard!”Selena said bluntly.Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner next time when there’s a chance.”Just as he was talking, the elevator arrived at the top floor.Mitchell walked to the door of the ward and hung up the phone.Thinki
“No one else here pays before they drink. Why are we treated differently?”“Do you think we can’t afford to pay?”......Those people started talking one after another.The tension between Derek and Selena intensified.Fortunately, the music in the bar was loud. An upbeat rock song attracted everyone’s attention.Selena stood there and felt nauseated when she heard what they said.She kept her composure, took a deep breath, and looked at Derek.“You came here a few days in a row without paying, and I couldn’t tally my accounts. If you don’t pay, don’t come again.”Before Derek got mad, Selena looked at the others and said, “Also, it’s only natural that you pay when you go out drinking. Derek and I divorced, so how are we a family? He’s f*cking taking advantage of his ex-wife! Have some shame!”Derek’s friends became infuriated, and they could not calm down after being humiliated by Selena.“Mr. Norton, is this your ex-wife who never fights back when you hit or scold her? She
It was late at night.The police officers at the station recognized Selena as the woman who got into an accident at the entrance of the hospital last time.Thus, they also knew that Selena had a relationship with Eric.After some thought, a police officer called Mitchell to inform him about the situation.When Mitchell found out, he was still a little confused.“Mr. Crawford, I don’t know if you want to get involved in this matter. I’m just afraid to offend Mr. Ferguson.”Mitchell understood that the officer was being tentative, so he smiled and said, “Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson are not very close friends, but we do owe her a favor. How about this? You can continue the interrogation while I ask Mr. Ferguson what he plans to do.”“Okay. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”After the officer hung up the phone, Mitchell hesitated whether to inform Eric about this. He was in a dilemma.Eric was scheduled to have dinner tonight with Larry and Cindy Yeager and talk about coopera
“You sl*t! You keep trying to kill Derek! What did he ever do to you? Back then, he made the wrong decision to marry you! You b*tch! He fed and clothed you, but your blood-sucking family just wants to harm him...”A middle-aged woman yelled at Selena.“She’s Derek Norton’s mother,” Mitchell said from the side.Eric paused and did not want to go in.The next second, a voice that was louder than Flora’s suddenly resounded.“F*ck you and your family! Your family is lucky that Derek married me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to marry a decent person like me! I didn’t take anything from you, so don’t take the credit. You’re all rats that came out of the gutter, doing underhanded deals, yet you dare to scold me? Are you so stupid to give the Nelson family money when they asked for it? Bah! I didn’t ask for anything from your family, and I didn’t spend a penny of your money. There’s no way I’ll admit to Derek supporting me. Derek Norton is a son of a b*tch, and he deserves to die!
Flora screamed, took out her mobile phone, and wanted to take pictures and videos.The driver’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly reached out to grab Flora’s phone.Flora was even more reckless. She dragged the driver and pushed him into the car.The driver could not hit a woman, so he dodged her. Thus, Flora fell to the side.“You even dare to hit me?! I don’t believe that there’s no justice in Atlanta! Get out of the car now! I want you to go to jail with that b*tch! I won’t let you get away with it!”Flora made a scene at the entrance of the police station.If she continued to make a fuss, this news might be in the headlines.Eric rubbed his forehead. His eyes were cold, awe-inspiring, and indescribably gloomy.It was pitch black in the car.The driver could barely hold Flora back.At that moment, Mitchell and several police officers hurried over.“What’s going on?”When Flora saw the police coming, she immediately became fearless.She played the victim and sa
This reminded him of Selena. When Selena scolded Eric, what did he say to her?Eric said that Selena wanted to use Chance to get close to him.Selena was annoyed at the time and wanted to fight him.She was not guilty as charged.Instead, she was just being frank.Eric guessed wrongly.Cindy was the one who was conniving behind his back.Eric took a deep breath and felt irritated.He was not looking for someone who loved him, but someone who had a good character.It was clear that Cindy was trying to get ahead of herself.Eric reached out and took the purse from Chance. He looked at Chance coldly.“I’ll have someone go through the discharge procedures for you. You won’t have to see her again.”Cindy left her purse here on purpose just so she could let Eric know how much she cared about his son.Some words were better spoken by a child than an adult.Cindy was very manipulative, which disgusted Eric.Chance did not seem reluctant to part with Cindy and nodded obediently.
Larry wanted to get angry, but when he heard his daughter’s nervous voice, he softened his tone.“It’s okay. When did Eric have to inform anyone about his decisions? Since he has made up his mind, why would he discuss it with others? Alright, let’s not put all our energy on Chance. Let’s concentrate on shaping your image of a strong career woman! Cindy, don’t let me down!”“Don’t worry, Dad!”Cindy curled her lips, but she felt uncertain.Selena’s case was not very troublesome.Derek was in a coma, and no one knew when he would wake up. The doctors warned that he might remain in a vegetative state for life.The Norton family could not accept the fact for a while.Flora made trouble every day, either at the hospital or at the police station.However, she was more restrained at the police station after being detained for three days for picking fights and creating trouble.Then, the influencer who was having an affair with Derek showed up.She followed Flora and acted like a vic
Selena shook her head. “I don’t know either. It’s random, and you won’t see it until you open it.”Chance could not stop moving his fingers, and he seemed a little excited.“I must open it!”The tension in the car subsided.Selena lowered her head and chatted and laughed with Chance, gradually getting to know Chance better.Soon, the two got along well.Chance looked sensible and cautious. He resembled Eric, but he was much more likable than Eric.For whatever reason, Chance was wary of everyone.Chance could keenly feel someone’s kindness or malintent.He was willing to approach anyone who was nice to him.Selena smiled, looked at Mitchell, and said, “Mr. Crawford, just send me back to the bar. That way, it won’t be so troublesome.”Mitchell paused and glanced at Eric.Eric snorted coldly, closed the document, and said in a deep voice, “Are you treating us as your driver? After doing you such a favor, you must treat me to dinner!”“You must treat me to dinner!”When Sele
