The weather was nice, and the air was refreshing.Eric stood there with a faint smile on his face.He clearly disregarded Keith’s comment.Swearing at people showed that Selena was vulgar. Her hot temper and frankness showed that she was stupid. Being beautiful and honest showed that she had no ability to protect herself.Which one of those traits suited Eric?Eric saw how wretched a woman who could not even protect herself was.If he had not helped her, Selena might still be stuck in that horrendous marriage. She might have also become a murderer if she was pushed over the edge.Eric was not a saint, so he did not have much sympathy for her.He was just a little curious when he saw that Selena was gradually revealing her true self.Selena had made herself appear cowardly because of her marriage.Seeing that Eric did not care, Keith said, “Also, those kids only said those words because they heard them from their parents. What do they know? You can’t make people think that you
Selena’s words made Eric pause slightly, but he did not glance at her.Suddenly, there was another splash in the pool.Eric frowned and finally let go of Selena.However, before he could look at her, Selena ran away.Selena seemed to have misunderstood him.Eric suddenly felt a little anxious.However, he steadied his emotions, lifted his feet, and went downstairs.“Young Master Chance fell into the pool—”Someone shouted and attracted the attention of many people.Everyone who was talking inside the villa went out to the yard.When Eric went out, he saw Cindy holding Chance with difficulty, climbing out of the swimming pool.Both of them were wet and shivering from the cold.Cindy looked wretched with her hair dripping with water and her makeup running. However, she could not care less.When Eric walked over, he happened to see Cindy climbing out of the pool.Cindy made eye contact with Selena, who was a step late in saving Chance.Cindy’s gaze was very calm and even a
The people around them gasped and looked at Cindy with complicated eyes.Cindy was no longer calm.Hannah exposing her made her panic. This was unexpected.Cindy’s complexion was glum.However, so many people were staring at her, and Cindy was not a good-for-nothing young lady after all.Cindy had been through a lot, so she was not intimidated by this scene.While she panicked, she endured the cold and stood up trembling. She looked at Eric with forbearance and aggrieved eyes, without the fear and panic she felt just now.“Mr. Ferguson, if this is your goal, then you’ve achieved it. Only a fool would believe this woman’s false accusations against me. I don’t know where you found her and why you made her say such things. But I actually saved Chance just now. Everyone saw it. Mr. Ferguson, if you insist on believing that woman’s words, then I have nothing to say. I came here today just to celebrate Young Master Chance’s birthday. I’m sorry that everyone had to see me like this. I
Selena’s eyes were complicated and resistant.These words had always been in her heart, but she blurted them out at this moment.Selena thought that even if Eric neglected Chance, Eric would still care about his son.However, Selena had a different impression of Eric after today.Selena, an outsider, could not bear to see Chance struggling in the water and wanted to go down to save him, but the person who stopped her was actually Chance’s so-called father.Did Eric have any feelings?Selena was dubious.Would someone who did not even love his son have the ability to love others?Eric terrified her. She felt like saw an abyss, and she was in denial.However, this was a fact.There was no point in trying to deceive herself.However, she was in no position to argue for Chance.Selena was merely an insignificant outsider.She felt cold and wanted to leave this villa as soon as possible.Eric’s gaze gradually turned cold. He could not suppress the rage in his chest, which surg
Chance was still upstairs and recovering from the shock. How could Eric still send Selena home at this time?Selena even felt guilty for it.She did not want to receive Eric’s help anymore.Eric looked at her coldly and stood outside stubbornly.The driver dared not drive at this time for fear of bumping into Eric.Neither side was willing to take a step back.Cindy, who was sitting on the side, gradually became gloomy.She felt cold and was enraged by this scene.Cindy would be a fool if she still could not see how Eric treated Selena differently.She secretly clenched her fists and sneered.Cindy did not look directly at Eric and only glanced at Selena as she said impatiently, “Ms. Nelson, you saw that I was drenched earlier, so I’m not feeling well and have to go to the hospital. I’m afraid I won’t be able to give you a ride back.”Selena pursed her lips and glared at Eric.She blamed him for sabotaging her ride home.Thus, Selena had no choice but to get out of the car
Levi fell silent.“Auntie, I shouldn’t have told you. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Otherwise, Chance will be very sad.”Nicole forced a smile and patted his head.“Okay, I didn’t hear anything. But you should stay away from the Ferguson family’s affairs in the future.”Levi pursed his lips and snorted.“Chance is afraid of him, but I’m not. He won’t dare to do anything to me!”Clayton chuckled at the side and nodded in agreement.“That’s true. Our Levi is amazing and doesn’t have to be scared of anyone. Also, not everyone is afraid of him.”Levi nodded.Clayton patted his head. “Finish this. I’ll treat you to dinner later. How about KFC?”Nicole stared at him without speaking.Levi said, “Daddy won’t let me eat KFC.”“But I want to eat it, and I promised Chatty to buy some back for her. I can’t just break my promise!”Clayton helplessly shrugged and explained to Nicole.Nicole rolled her eyes. “Who asked you to agree to these unreasonable demands?”Clayton said weakl
Larry deliberately stayed until the end of the meeting.Eric had already returned to his office.Everyone who came out of the conference room had already left that floor.When Larry came out, no one else was there.Only Mitchell was waiting conscientiously.Seeing Larry, Mitchell smiled politely and said, “Mr. Yeager, it’s a great honor that you came to attend this meeting in person.”The corners of Larry’s mouth twitched.“What else can I do? You guys bullied my daughter, and she didn’t dare to leave the house, so I ought to come. Where’s Mr. Ferguson? If he’s free, I’d like to talk to him.”Mitchell smiled. “Of course. Mr. Ferguson knew that you wanted to speak to him, so he deliberately postponed his schedule and waited for you.”Larry snorted coldly and went straight to Eric’s office.Mitchell came in with two cups of coffee afterward.At that time, the air in Eric’s office was condensed and stagnant.Larry sat across from Eric with a cold and gloomy expression.Howeve
Eric looked at Mitchell and said with a cold tone, “We’ll withdraw the charges when the Yeagers officially withdraw from the project.”Mitchell nodded. Just then, his phone rang.It was from the driver who was in charge of picking Chance up from school and sending him home.“Mr. Crawford, is the young master home yet?”Mitchell paused. “What do you mean? School hasn’t ended yet…”The driver was silent for a few seconds before he said with a cautious tone, “The young master had a field trip today, so they ended half a day early. I couldn’t pick him up at the time, so I asked him to take a taxi home by himself. He didn’t go back?”Mitchell’s expression changed dramatically. His gaze shifted to Eric and secretly cursed the driver a million times.“What was more important than picking him up? Do you not want your job anymore?!”The driver hesitated and said, “I… I’ll look for him now…”Mitchell immediately hung up the phone and looked at Eric, trying to remain calm.“Mr. Ferguson
