After Ivan found out about Lara, he was obliged to help.That was because it was not all smooth sailing when Ivan first started out in the entertainment industry. Back then, he wanted to bribe the director so that he could be the male lead in a TV show, but the original female lead resigned decisively when she heard that Ivan was the male lead.This incident hurt Ivan’s dignity.Back then, when Lara found out about Ivan, she took the initiative to ask the director for the female lead role, which saved Ivan from embarrassment.Since then, the two became close friends.Thus, Ivan came forward to help when Lara was bullied.That was why he was hostile toward Selena, who bullied Lara.Ivan only took the initiative to talk to Selena and praised her just now because he wanted to get to know her. Why was she such a snob?Lara quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ivan’s arm.“Ivan, calm down. You’ll scare Ms. Nelson.”“What are you afraid of? Will she dare to treat me the way she trea
Therefore, Ivan’s relationship with Selena was a combination of new and old grudges.Ivan did not like Selena at all.“Are you so shameless that you’re interested in being a third party to another couple? I have never seen anyone who has no moral bottom line like you!”Selena sneered and smiled strangely.“Who’s the third party? I think your sister is the third party in this relationship. You can say such a thing, which shows that your upbringing isn’t that great. I have nothing to say to you, Mr. Caldwell. Since you are confidently waiting to become Eric’s brother-in-law, then go directly to him. I’m not interested in acting like a fake b*tch or a saint. That just disgusts me.”As Selena spoke, she glanced at Lara.Lara froze slightly and subconsciously looked at Ivan.Selena said lightly, “Also, do you really think that I’m just like you guys, rushing to become Mrs. Ferguson? Eric begged me to get back together with him. Even if he knelt in front of me and proposed, I wouldn’t
“Mr. Ferguson, you can’t listen to her one-sided words. Girls these days are good at sweet-talking people. All she wants is your money. Just now, Ms. Nelson said that even if you kneel down here and propose to her, she won’t agree to marry you. She doesn’t like you. She’s just after your money!”Lara wished that Eric could sober up.He also did not care whether her words sounded deliberately provocative.After Lara said that, the air was dead silent.Eric’s face also darkened.Since he was wearing sunglasses, and it was dark outside, no one could see the expression on his face clearly.The smooth and sharp outline of his face appeared a little rigid, and his body was slightly tense.Selena was in close proximity to Eric, so she could feel the air around him turn cold. He suddenly clenched her hand tightly.He squeezed her hand so tight that Selena felt the pain.The laughter from downstairs sounded. It was completely opposite to the dead silence on the second floor.Soon, the
“Let’s go…”Mr. Caldwell nodded, looked up at Eric, smiled calmly, and finally shifted his gaze to Selena.“We’ll take our leave, then. I wish you both happiness, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson.”This was Eric’s ultimate goal.Eric wanted everyone to know about his relationship with Selena.He made Mr. Caldwell bow his head and apologize, which was humiliating. That way, it would cut off any idea that the Caldwells have about wanting Taylor to marry Eric.Mr. Caldwell saw it from the very beginning. His silly daughter uttered cruel words and stopped all cooperation with Eric.This was Eric’s purpose.Mr. Caldwell was willing to cooperate because he knew that as long as Eric did not agree to it, Taylor would not be able to marry him even if she wanted to.Mr. Caldwell only came today just to test the waters.He saw the results and had nothing more to say.Selena also felt that Eric went overboard. Mr. Caldwell was not like Ivan.He was a kind and reasonable man.Selena felt a
Selena wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was also afraid of hurting Eric’s feelings.She patted Eric’s hand. “I don’t want to answer.”The elevator finally arrived, and the doors opened slowly.The waiter outside had been waiting for a long time and politely led them inside.“Mr. Ferguson, this way, please. Mr. Charles said he wants to meet you.”Eric was not surprised.He drove away the Caldwell family that Charles liked, so Charles must be annoyed right now.But, so what?Eric pursed his lips and squeezed Selena’s arm.“You can go and sit inside first. I’ll be back in a while. We can continue our conversation when we get home.”Perhaps he should not get to the bottom of it and find out what Selena was thinking.However, if he did not figure it out, he would always feel that there was a thorn in his heart.Selena smiled nonchalantly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.She turned and went to the cabin.There was no one in the huge banquet hall at the moment.She di
Selena smiled and blinked calmly.“If he can’t even handle that, then I trusted the wrong person. As for the future, I think that you’re getting ahead of me. After all, I don’t want to be with Eric for so long.”Selena chuckled and immediately stood up under Charles’s shocked gaze.“So, I won’t act like a good daughter-in-law who is willing to do anything to please your family. Mr. Ferguson, if you want to use this method to manipulate me, I’m afraid you have failed. I won’t be threatened by you, nor will I do you any favors. That’s because I have no expectations of Eric.”Selena smiled and walked out after that.Abbott could not help but widen his eyes.“Mr. Ferguson, look! This woman is so out of control. If a woman like her stays by Eric’s side, there will be big problems sooner or later.”Charles was silent and watched her departing back without saying a word.From that moment, he also saw a young and vivid memory of another woman.However, the woman in his memory was the
Why was it that Eric did not feel like Selena was his even when she was lying beside him?Eric did not sleep all night.The next day, when the doctors from the specialist team came to check on Eric, Selena was still asleep.Eric could see the light source out of the corner of his eye last night.Thus, the specialists had to know of this change in vision.Two hours later, the team of specialists breathed a sigh of relief.“Mr. Ferguson, your eyes have improved after just one month. This is a very good sign. You can use your left eye properly, and the blood clot in your right eye has begun to dissipate. You’ll probably regain your eyesight in a few days. However, your right eye socket still needs proper care. You must not bump into anything hard. Otherwise, the fracture will worsen.”Eric nodded slightly.The specialist smiled. “By the way, where is Ms. Nelson? She must be very happy if she knows this!”Every time before the consultation, Selena would wander around and worry abo
Selena left.Eric went downstairs.The servant knew that Eric’s left eye had recovered, so she did not have to be so careful anymore.“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Nelson just said that she’s going to the bar.”Eric tightened his jaw with a gloomy face. His body was tense and cold.His eyes were deep and distant. “I know. I’m going to the office.”His driver had been waiting outside.Eric would not waste time.Selena invited everyone to a meal and gave everyone their compensation.Everyone was reluctant to part ways, which made it even sadder.Before eating, Chaz told her the advantages and disadvantages of the two options.If they chose to move, they would need to take a big risk and lose their old customers.That was because everyone only went to the bar for convenience and relaxation. They would not go to another location if it was too far.Moreover, the new location was closer to a residential building. The residents would complain about noise levels and report them if their slee
