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
Selena’s face turned pale. If Eric was polite, Selena might be able to understand his painstaking efforts to find Chance.However, at this moment, Selena felt wronged.She glanced at Chance, who had his head down, helplessly.When Chance showed up at her bar, she told Chance to call Eric or Mitchell.Who knew that the boy did not take it to heart?However, Selena could not accuse Chance in front of Eric. Otherwise, the poor curly-haired boy would be reprimanded.Selena pursed her lips and took the blame. She took out the smartwatch that was soaked in water and explained.“Sorry, his watch accidentally fell into a bucket of water and stopped working. It was my negligence that I didn’t notify you in time. I was busy in the afternoon, so I forgot.”Selena turned her head away indifferently. She did not feel sorry at all for making that mistake.Eric was irritated and felt like he had punched cotton — soft, without any strength.There was silence all around, not even a sound from
As the woman spoke, she opened a bottle of wine, poured it into a glass, and drank it in one gulp in front of Eric.Eric looked at her with a glum and indifferent expression. The disgust on his face became more intense.As the woman drank, she “accidentally” spilled the wine on herself.Her chest was soaked.If Eric could not see what her intentions were, he would be an idiot.The woman looked at Eric hesitantly. Her eyes were seductive, and what she wanted was evident.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. This bottle is my treat…”The woman poured another glass and handed it over.However, Eric had no intention of taking it.He looked around irritably and wanted to get out of this smoky booth. He had already stood up, but the woman also stood up to hand him the glass. When she leaned over, the wine spilled on Eric’s body.Eric could not dodge in time, and his anger reached its peak.“You shameless woman! Did you not understand what I said when I told you to get lost? You should ta
Eric glanced at Selena with a deep gaze and quickly looked away, like a gust of wind that disappeared before it touched her skin.“Chance wants to get close to you. Haven’t you thought about why?”Selena shrugged and boasted. “It must be because I’m beautiful and kind-hearted. Everyone loves me because I’m adorable!”Eric looked at her strangely.“Have you looked in a mirror recently?”“No, will you piss on the floor so I can look at my reflection?”Selena restrained her smile and looked at him angrily.She finally understood that when facing Eric, it was quite a test for her to maintain her composure.It only took less than a few minutes for her to lose her composure.The man stared at her silently and solemnly. He said in a low voice, “Are you really a woman?”“Yes, but I don’t know if you’re a man or not!”Selena immediately retorted.Eric took a deep breath. The veins on his forehead were bulging from anger.“Aren’t you leaving? Are you waiting for me to see you off?”
The music downstairs was deafening.However, Eric and Selena felt isolated in Selena’s room. It was so quiet and stuffy that they could even hear each other’s heartbeat.Selena could not continue to deny it because Eric would definitely get to the bottom of it.When Selena thought about that woman and that $300,000 IOU, she suddenly made a decision.She raised her head to look at Eric with clear eyes and a flattering fake smile without a trace of sincerity.“Since you said so, then I can only agree. Yes, in fact, this is my purpose… I have admired you for a long time!”Selena felt guilty after saying this.Her throat felt itchy, so she covered her mouth and lowered her head to cough.This was probably the price of lying.Her face flushed slightly as she coughed.Eric just looked like he knew it all along.It was exactly as he expected!Although Selena showed her dislike of him in every possible way and was verbally abusive, it was only to attract his attention.Now that he
