Selena had just finished swiping her card.Eric frowned and looked at her.“You paid?”Selena nodded. “Yeah. Isn’t it my treat? I’m not that shameless.”Of course, Selena believed that even if she did not take the initiative to pay, Eric would pay.However, she did not want to owe him more. It was just a meal, and she could afford it.Eric glanced at the waiter with a glum expression.“I said I’d pay later...”Eric felt embarrassed.The waiter stood there awkwardly.“The lady insisted...”“Alright, don’t get angry over such a trivial matter. Mr. Ferguson, it’s fine that Ms. Nelson wants to express her gratitude.”Cindy smiled to the side. Her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously sized up Selena.Seeing that Selena’s face was pale and her clothes were quite ordinary, Cindy felt more confident and arrogant.Selena could not compare to Cindy.With the way Selena dressed, she would not be able to enter this restaurant without Eric.So what if Selena paid?It was just for
Cindy’s gaze became a little colder. She clenched her fists, and her emotions were hidden.She obviously hated Selena, but she still had to act nonchalantly on the surface.Cindy hated this feeling.Chance raised his eyes to look at Selena, then at Eric and Cindy. He waved goodbye obediently and walked outside with his small school bag on his back.Selena did not want to stay any longer. Thus, she left without saying goodbye.Eric’s phone rang at that moment. He frowned and walked aside to answer the phone.Cindy, who was left alone, felt embarrassed and could not calm down after a long time.After a while, Eric hung up the phone and was about to leave when he saw that Cindy was still looking at him.His eyes sank slightly. He walked over and said, “Ms. Yeager, I have something to do, so I’ll get going.”Cindy smiled, calmed her emotions, and said gently, “What a coincidence. I have something to do near your office. Will you give me a ride?”Eric frowned slightly. His face da
The waiter at the side saw Selena and walked up to her with a helpless look.“These people came here for the past two days, and they’re here for you. They said that if you don’t give them an explanation, they’ll come again to cause trouble, making it impossible for us to do business!”Selena’s face darkened. Her eyes were cold.She felt that it was a pity that Derek did not die.Flora walked over in a few steps and pointed at her aggressively.“Why should you get to do business when my son has become like that? Pooh! You guys can dream on! If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I’ll stay here and will never leave!”Flora looked like a shrew. All these years of living a lavish life did not improve her manners.She was dissatisfied with the results of Derek’s incident, so she used such roguish methods to make Selena compromise.Selena looked at her coldly.“What? Didn’t the police tell you the result? If you’re not satisfied, you can appeal the case!”Flora was so ang
Selena’s aunt became anxious when she heard this.She immediately looked at Selena and reprimanded her.“Why are you so ignorant? Can’t you understand what we’re telling you? You’re supposed to pay them the compensation. Otherwise, they can sue you!”The aunt wanted to scare Selena.Selena sneered and raised her voice.“Go ahead and sue me then. Why should I be afraid? I don’t have money. The agreement stipulates that I have to pay the compensation, but the agreement also didn’t include the alimony or share of the property that I’m supposed to get from the divorce. Moreover, it doesn’t stipulate when I have to pay him back. So, let me tell you this. I plan to wait a hundred years before paying them! Come back again after a hundred years!”Selena’s aunt, Flora, and others were all shocked.Selena looked at her aunt. Her eyes were red, and her voice was extremely cold and sinister.“Also, I didn’t see you standing up for me when I was almost beaten to death by the Nortons. Now, y
Selena’s voice was extremely calm.However, it made the influencer feel a chill in her heart.The influencer felt cold and shivered.Her legs were weak, so much so that she could not even stand.She supported her belly and slowly sat down on the sofa not far from her.She could not believe that Derek was suspicious of her.Her secret was almost exposed.The influencer knew Derek’s character. He was irritable, sinister, and liked to beat women.If Derek saw the DNA test results and found out that her baby was not his, he might kick her belly and kill the baby.The influencer broke out in a cold sweat in just a few seconds.She shuddered.The light in the private room was not dim, and it made Selena look cold and aloof.Her expression was indifferent and calm as if she was in control of everything.Selena seemed to know that she was secretly taking videos with her phone just now.After a long time, the influencer gradually calmed down.However, her complexion did not impro
Of course, it was mainly because Julie made an appointment with Nicole.Julie’s TV show had recently ended, so she planned to take a break.When Nicole brought Chatty and Fischer to the private room, Julie was taken aback.“Why did you bring them here?!”Then, Julie smiled and went to kiss them one by one.Chatty and Fischer were carrying small school bags. They stood there obediently, but their eyes wandered around curiously.They felt like they discovered a new world.Nicole laughed. “I brought them here to broaden their sighs. Otherwise, should her first time in a bar be with a stranger when she becomes an adult?”She patted Fischer’s head and said, “Bring Chatty with you to do your homework. I’ll get you guys some snacks.”Fischer nodded and went to a booth with Chatty.Seeing this, Julie immediately called her other friends who were supposed to join them.Then Julie collapsed on the sofa and complained to her.“I wanted to let loose...”Nicole laughed. “I’ll take you
None of them answered Cindy’s question, which made the situation turn awkward in an instant.Cindy pursed her lips in embarrassment.Nicole had the highest status among the people in the room. Thus, even if Nicole said something harsh, Cindy would not dare to retort Nicole.Julie kept an indifferent attitude. She did not talk, nod, or answer anything.She was just wary of Cindy.Cindy had bad luck ever since she joined their game. She used to be quite successful at the poker table, but she did not win a single round this time.Selena, on the other hand, kept a huge smile.Nicole and Julie won some and lost some.After a few rounds, Chatty ran over from the opposite side of the room. She was sweating profusely as she held her small arm out to Nicole.“Mommy! Daddy wants to talk to you!”Nicole paused and looked at Chatty’s smartwatch which doubled as a phone.She was stunned and thought, ‘Where’s my phone?’Nicole muted her phone and forgot about it.She quickly held Chatty
Nicole smiled guiltily without revealing it on her face.Hopefully, this would not happen again!The atmosphere in the car was nice.When they returned home, Nicole went into the study. Mrs. Zoe prepared fruit for everyone.Meanwhile, Clayton volunteered to teach the kids Russian.Thus, the long night began again.In less than an hour, Nicole came out of the study after she finished her work.Clayton and the kids, who were supposed to be studying, were also gone.Mrs. Zoe came over, yawned, and smiled.“Fischer and Chatty are asleep. Mr. Sloan went to wash up.”Nicole nodded and said, “You should also sleep early.”Mrs. Zoe nodded with a smile.Nicole stretched her back and walked slowly toward the bedroom.Clayton was indeed showering in the bathroom because Nicole could hear the trickling sound of water.After continuous rehabilitation, Clayton’s leg injury improved significantly.Compared with the time when he just returned to Mediania, Clayton no longer felt pain in
