Eric looked at Selena quietly for more than ten seconds.His face was extremely tense and glum.Eric said in a low voice, “What do you think?”Selena paused and raised her eyebrows.“Alright, I understand. From now on, let’s delete each other’s contact information. I won’t look for you again, and you shouldn’t look for me either. We can just treat each other as strangers.”Selena rationally arranged the plan for their future, just like when they were not together back then.Eric’s face and eyes darkened.His emotions surged violently, but he suppressed them. They were like currents in the deep and boundless sea.A gust of wind could cause huge waves.“No.”His voice was hoarse. He felt as if his throat had been ground by coarse sand, so much so that it hurt to speak.“What?”“I have nothing to do with her, let alone marry her. I came here to explain it to you.”Eric looked at Selena, but there was no emotion or excitement on her face.Selena was way too calm.Eric was a
Chance thought about it. As a member of the family, he felt like he should do something for the family.Thus, he turned around and went downstairs, asking the driver to take him to Selena’s bar.Chance wanted to pick Aunt Selena up personally.In the bar, Selena originally planned to stay until closing time.However, her biological clock had been irregular. She felt a little sleepy before midnight.Chaz asked her to go up to take a nap since there was nothing to do at this time.Just as Selena was about to go up, she heard Chaz changing his tune.“Don’t go upstairs. Someone came to pick you up.”Selena subconsciously looked back.Chance happily waved at her.Selena’s heart softened. She smiled, and her sleepiness disappeared.“How did you get here? Is your class over?”Chance nodded. “Daddy was afraid that it would be unsafe for you to go back alone at night, so he asked me to get the driver to pick you up. I just tagged along. Aunt Selena, shall we go home?”He looked up
The outside wind brought in a trace of heat. The agarwood scent in the car dispersed a little.The car was stable and comfortable.The man inside was on the phone, revealing his sharp side profile.No one noticed that in the side lane just one car away, there was a car to the left of the black Bentley.A pair of hateful and bloodshot eyes stared in the direction of the black Bentley.The woman took her phone and dialed a number.“Mr. Sloan, the time has come. Where are your people?”There was a buzz from the phone. Soon, a gentle and clear voice sounded.“Ms. Yeager, I arranged a getaway car for you. It’s the third red car behind your car. When you are done, get in the car while no one notices you. The driver will take you to where you’re supposed to go.”Cindy subconsciously looked in the back mirror when she heard this.Sure enough, the third car behind hers was a red car.She let out a slow sigh of relief.“Okay.”Cindy hung up the phone contentedly.She wanted to go a
Eric was talking when a police officer suddenly ran in.The officer looked inexplicably excited.“Deputy Chief, a good Samaritan noticed that something was off with Cindy Yeager, so he picked her up and sent her straight to our police station. We don’t need to use any effort to look for her.”The deputy chief was stunned, and his spirits lifted.“Where is she?”“Outside. Our colleagues have brought her here…”As he said that, Cindy was restrained and cuffed by two other officers.Cindy’s mind was muddled, but she still knew where she was.She struggled with all her might.“Let go of me! Why are you arresting me?”She yelled but to no avail.Cindy felt aggrieved. She thought that God was really unfair!She still got caught.What was going on?Was it that driver?Or was it Clayton?What part of her plan went wrong?Cindy’s mind was a mess at this moment.However, she knew that she could just refuse to admit it. Yes, she would just say that it was an ordinary accident...
The bar was pretty quiet during the day.Since it was already evening, everyone was getting ready for business.As soon as Eric entered, someone saw him.“Where’s your boss?”Eric asked.The waiter pointed upstairs, and Eric nodded.Selena was resting in her room, preparing for the overtime work at night.She did not expect Eric to come over quietly.However, she did not have much of a reaction. She just glanced at him and lay back down.“Why are you so free to come over?”Her voice was still a little languid.Eric walked over, took off his coat, and hugged Selena from behind through the quilt.At that moment, his originally empty heart was filled in an instant.Eric closed his eyes. He was familiar with her body and her scent.That feeling made him feel more nostalgic that he got to be with her again.Selena sensed something was wrong with Eric, but she did not bother to pursue it.She felt that it was better not to know him too well.The greater the expectation, the
Selena looked at Eric’s smiling face. His eyes were still stern and indifferent. He seemed so aloof and unapproachable, as if she would never attain his heart.Eric’s words seemed gentle like he did not blame her, but it felt as if he had slapped her hard in the face.Her face felt hot, and she felt like her darkest secret was exposed.Selena was stunned for a few seconds. She stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, calmed down, and looked back at him. She said in a clear and cold tone, “You don’t need to put it so nicely. You’re just trying to say that I overstepped my bounds, right? I have already apologized and promised not to do it again. Why do you still want to insult me?”Eric’s expression turned glum. His eyes also dimmed slightly.“I didn’t mean to insult you. I was just talking to you. Don’t overthink it.”“Any normal person would misunderstand the way you put it. Eric, I did read your message, but so what? Are you saying there’s some kind of confidential work in y
It was nice for Selena to be able to take this opportunity to vent her frustration.Selena never thought that she and Eric would insult each other so badly one day.She did not even know who to blame.Eric’s whole body was tense. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly as he tried his best to restrain his emotions.Her words were like sparks that ignited the bombs in his heart.Eric had long been aware of his dark side, but no one dared to expose his repulsiveness in front of him.However, Selena had no scruples.Selena crossed her arms and looked at him sarcastically.“I got it right, Eric. Just admit it. You don’t have a heart, so I don’t care who you fall in love with. I only care if I’m being cheated on!”Her tone was so cold that she did not leave any room for maneuver.“Are you done talking? You didn’t even ask me what happened today. You’re provoking me just because of a message? You’re not qualified to be my girlfriend!”Eric was f
Chaz asked, “Boss, what happened? It’s almost 10:00 pm, but you didn’t come downstairs, so I thought you left with Mr. Ferguson.”Selena’s expression was calm. She did not even shed a single tear.It seemed like nothing had happened. However, her dispirited look as she sat there made Chaz wonder what was wrong.She paused and slowly moved her gaze to look at Chaz.“We broke up.”Chaz was silent for a moment before he smiled.“It’s okay. That’s good! I support you.”“You do? Didn’t you always want me to be with him?”Chaz raised his eyebrows and laughed.“That’s on the premise that you like each other. I just wanted you to get out of your previous marriage. But from the looks of those overwhelming comments about Eric and that woman online, he didn’t care to avoid suspicion at all. It shows that he allowed this rumor to spread. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to say. I have a problem with him allowing this kind of rumor to hurt you. What else can you do but break up with
