Mitchell glanced at Lara lightly and flashed a mocking smile.“If the media present today can speak out about the instigator, Ferguson Corporation will not pursue your responsibility. But if you interview and film anyone without our permission, we will sue you for leaking commercial secrets. Especially you, Lara.”Mitchell said the last sentence sternly.Lara’s body trembled. Her face was extremely pale.Just as she was about to say something, Mitchell turned his head and said to the person next to him. “You took all the photos, right? Call the police and distribute the lawyer’s letter. Make everything public, and don’t forget Lara.”After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.Mitchell’s temperament and character were no different from Eric’s.Lara was startled.Suddenly, she could not say a word. It was too late to regret her actions.Everything was sorted out quickly.Upstairs, the office was in a frenzy.The employees of Ferguson Corporation all knew who Eric
Eric’s face darkened when he saw that Selena kept silent. The corners of his mouth were pursed. He waved his hand, and the people from the public relations department left the office.The door shut softly.Eric felt a little uneasy, but on the surface, he looked calm. He did not reveal anything on his mind.“Selena, what do you think of this proposal?”His voice was low and hoarse. He seemed to have a calm tone as he discussed this matter, which was related to their future and the future of Ferguson Corporation.Selena turned her head to meet his gaze. Her tone was also calm.“I don’t think it’s right. We should be proving that we have nothing to do with each other now. We can explain all of Lara’s accusations. As long as we don’t get in touch anymore, even if someone doubts the truth of our clarification, time will slowly settle everything.”Selena’s tone was calm, as if she had thought about it for a long time and came to this conclusion.They were not from the entertainment
Selena frowned at Eric.She felt like she was tricked.Compared with twenty or thirty years, ten years was indeed not a long time.However, what would she look like ten years from now?She would look like a lonely and cold old lady.Selena’s mind was a mess.However, Eric was right. She was already with him anyway.There were currently no other options.Since she had no other options, why not Eric?Compared with other men, Eric was not bad. However, Selena was afraid of choosing the wrong husband.Seeing her hesitation, Eric frowned. His eyes gradually turned clear.“How about this? We don’t need to sign any agreement. The deadline will just limit the two of us. If we really want to break up one day, we’ll definitely find a way to get divorced.”He smiled faintly and was thinking about something.There was silence in the air for a few seconds.Selena took a deep breath.“Okay. There’s no difference between marriage and dating. If we’re happy, we’ll stay together. If we’r
Selena and Eric were both clear about each other’s past, and there was nothing to hide.Forget it. They could not look down on each other.Thinking of this, Selena’s heavy and wavering heart relaxed.However, listening to Eric’s phone call, Selena knew that a wedding must be held no matter what.Eric finally hung up the phone.Selena took the opportunity to speak.“Didn’t you say that we don’t need a wedding? Why are you still sending invitations to people?”Eric paused, raised his eyebrows, and could not help but say, “Otherwise, people will think I’m joking. Can’t I afford to hold a wedding? The more people want to see us fizzle away in the background, the more I feel like making this wedding the biggest event of the year!”He put his arm around her shoulder.“What kind of wedding do you want? Just think about it boldly. There’s nothing I can’t give you!”Selena brushed her hair calmly. “Really?”“Of course! Tell me.”Eric was full of confidence.No matter what kind of w
Selena finished speaking.The silence in the study seemed to be magnified.Eric’s pupils enlarged slightly.He was mentally prepared and thought of countless reasons.It just did not occur to him that she would say this.Love.They had never discussed this topic.Love?Eric pondered. Maybe. That kind of dazed feeling and pleasure could be called love.However, Eric had been avoiding this feeling. He admitted that he liked Selena, but deep down, he was trying his best to avoid the exposure and transfer of such feelings.His love and the person he loved were in the past. There was only one person he ever loved, and that was Nicole.Did he dare to admit that he transferred this love to Selena?Eric was afraid that he made a mistake he would regret.Marriage and interests were separate from this relationship.He did not want to touch this long-abandoned emotion, so he only admitted that he liked Selena.The way he liked her was different from other women.Selena was the onl
The wedding was grand and rushed.Eric set the date in half a month.It could have been canceled, but Selena did not know why Eric insisted on having this wedding.Did he never have a wedding before?Selena objected many times, but to no avail. Thus, she simply did not want to waste her breath.The location was set on a small island in Europe.It was beautiful, and there was a sweet aroma in the air due to a special local plant.The guests who were invited were determined by Eric.Selena only invited people from the bar.When Chaz found out about this, he was in disbelief like he was struck by lightning.When he got the gold-plated invitation, he thought that he was dreaming.Selena was entertaining guests on the island and smiled until her face was stiff.Chance also hid in the room because he was tired.It felt like a real waste of time for him to be with a group of unfamiliar and immature children.Eric, on the other hand, greeted everyone with ease. It was as if he wo
Selena raised her eyes with a smile and looked at their faces one by one.Her eldest aunt’s smile froze at first. She felt a little embarrassed.On the other hand, Jennifer could barely contain her expression. She was embarrassed and frustrated.The eldest uncle was embarrassed. He let out a cold snort and finally said, “Don’t be ignorant. What did Jennifer say wrong? You’re notorious on the internet! If it weren’t for us, the Nelson family, how would you be able to match Eric? We have given you a way out, so you should accept it and thank us. Don’t be self-righteous and make it so awkward for everyone.”The room was silent.Selena chuckled, stood up slowly, and glanced at her uncle indifferently.“If I didn’t know better, I would think that you’re my creditor. Why should I accept whatever you give me? Did you all forget what was written in the will when Grandpa passed away? He left me the family business, not you, Uncle. I gave it up on my own accord because I wanted a clean bre
Eric paused and pursed his lips.“No, they wanted to come by themselves. They said that your maiden family should be at your wedding and came to see you off.”Eric did not think much of it and did not care because he could handle them easily. The Nelsons just wanted to get some benefits from him.He just did not expect Selena to have such a strong reaction.Eric regretted it a little.If he had known earlier, he would not have done this.The eldest aunt stood there in embarrassment and looked eagerly at Selena and Eric.“Selena may be tired, so we’ll go outside first. You guys can talk!”Selena snorted coldly.“Let me make it clear. I don’t have a maiden family. They’re all dead. You know exactly what these people want to use me for. Eric, if you dare to give them any favors, we don’t need to get married. We can go straight to City Hall and get a divorce. Don’t even say sh*t like being from a well-matched family. I’m not biologically related to the Nelsons, so why should I sel
