“What?”Eric’s face darkened instantly.Selena’s biological father?Eric knew about Selena’s past, so he knew that she was not dependent on her relatives.In the beginning, Eric proposed to help her find her relatives, but she refused.From then on, Eric did not try to look for anyone because he was afraid it would backfire.Selena’s father knew that his daughter was in dire straits, but watched helplessly and did not show up. This only meant that it made no difference whether such relatives were present or not.Unexpectedly, this person came to Eric’s door on his own initiative.He even wanted to harm his own daughter.Eric was instantly shrouded in a layer of gloom.“Who?”“The woman said she hadn’t seen him before, but someone called her and gave her a sum of money to find a chance to attack Madam. We checked and found that the other party was very cautious. They used cash in Euros and banked it into the woman’s account. That phone number is now out of service.”Looking
There was a bit of coldness in Eric’s eyes.“You have met Selena’s father, right?”Eric got straight to the most critical point with his first question.Jennifer trembled slightly. She hesitated but still nodded.“Who is it?”Eric did not have any extra words to say.Jennifer gritted her teeth.“I don’t know him. I saw him when I was young, but now, I almost can’t recognize him.”“Can’t recognize him? Then how are you sure that the person who called you is her biological father? Didn’t you even confirm his identity?”Eric’s tone was a bit cold and frightening.Jennifer said cautiously, “There were so many people on the beach when I arrived. I thought I saw him because he looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure. I felt strange at the time, and I didn’t believe it until I received a call from him. But if you asked me to find him in a crowd, I can’t be sure because there were too many people at that time. I just glanced at him and didn’t look carefully at all…”Jennifer’s voice beca
On the plane, Jennifer was tied to the seat and surrounded by two bodyguards. She could not even move.She did not dare to move and tried her best to reduce her presence.Jennifer feared that Eric and Selena would think of her and throw her into the sea to feed the fish.After all, if she fell into the Atlantic Ocean, she would not even leave behind a corpse.Selena fell asleep, but she could not sleep well.She opened her eyes and vaguely heard Eric on the phone in another room.It was probably a conference call, and he was afraid of waking her up.Selena glanced at the clouds of all kinds of shapes outside the window.She thought about it for a while, stood up, and walked in front of Jennifer.The bodyguard stood up immediately.“Madam.”Selena pursed her lips.“I’ll say a few words to her. You can wait by the side.”The bodyguard nodded without hesitation.Eric told them that Selena’s words were just as good as his words. There was no difference.Fear flashed across J
After all, new and old grudges were not so easily erased.Selena’s face was as calm as ever.She just frowned slightly when he heard Clayton’s name.Selena felt it was impossible that Nicole was involved.Soon, Mitchell coughed. “No, Mr. Sloan had a great time that night and drank in your stead. He was also busy taking care of Miss Liliana, so he didn't have a chance to do anything.”“Then maybe he arranged someone to do it.”Eric spoke decisively.Mitchell paused. “But there are more people who came in the name of Stanton Corporation, Mr. Ferguson. Noah Stanton, the general manager of a branch of Stanton Corporation, also came. Although he didn’t come with Ms. Nicole, he came in the name of Stanton Corporation.”As soon as Mitchell finished speaking, Eric’s expression turned cold.His gaze was stern.He had a slight impression of Noah. Noah’s wife, Jade, had troubled Nicole back then, but she was quickly dismissed.In recent years, Noah’s family was invisible and had no r
As soon as Nicole left, the waiter at the side came over with a bouquet of flowers.Selena was taken aback. Then, she turned her head and sneezed.Eric quickly blocked Selena’s path and glanced at the waiter with cold eyes.“Nobody ordered flowers. Who sent them?”The waiter paused and said anxiously, “It’s from a guest from CK Corporation. They said that they specially sent a bouquet of flowers to congratulate you and your wife on your wedding.”Eric frowned and said mercilessly.“Take it away! My wife is allergic to pollen. Don’t bring it in front of my wife again.”“Yes, sir.”The waiter quickly took the bouquet away.Eric looked slightly relaxed and looked at the two people opposite him.“Sorry, my wife hasn’t been in good health recently. If she drinks wine laced with pollen, she may suffocate to death, so she needs to be extra careful. There’s no pollen in the whole venue.”The boss next to him nodded. “You should be careful.”Noah frowned and was puzzled.“But I rem
Selena pursed her lips and said nothing.Compared with her repeated probing, Eric’s direct method worked.It also saved the most time.Physiologically, kinship was not a choice.Selena never wanted to change her lifestyle because of this relationship.However, she had to rely on this relationship, find that person, and ask him why he did this.A paternity test would take time.Eric once again cast his gaze on Jennifer.Jennifer was sent to a psychiatric hospital, which was more suitable for Jennifer to recuperate than ordinary hospitals.“I’m not sick! I’m not sick! Let me out!”Jennifer slapped on the metal window at the door.The doctor said, “Everyone who is sick will say that they’re not sick. That just means you have a serious illness.”“Nonsense! Let me out! I don’t have any mental problems at all!”Jennifer trembled with anger. She even stretched out her hand to grab the doctor, threatening him to let her go.She was going crazy in here.Everyone around her was cr
Eric knew what to do.Even if he could not erase that person from his heart for a while, he would not embarrass the two families on this occasion.Selena was holding Eric’s arm, but Eric smiled and squeezed her hand tightly.Selena lowered her head and smiled, seemingly relieved.She could not force Eric to wipe away his past.Her own past was also tainted.Not surprisingly, all of the Stantons, except Maverick who was away for research, were at home.Aida was originally doing postpartum rehabilitation, but when she heard about Floyd’s accident, she immediately brought Kenji, who was less than one year old, over.Grant and Kai sat on the sofa with glum expressions. They could not conceal their anger.Nicole was next to Floyd, gently massaging his shoulders. Her eyes were red.Floyd’s arm was dislocated, so he had a plaster and bandage on it. He was still smiling and playing with Levi and Chatty.Chatty stuck to Floyd’s knee like a piece of bubble gum and kept blowing on his
“You did. I guessed it right, huh? You wished that Selena was really my father’s illegitimate daughter so that you would have a target to vent your anger instead of looking aimlessly for someone. You can also take this opportunity to blackmail our family and invade Stanton Corporation by using Selena as an excuse. Am I right?”Nicole sneered, and that contemptuous gaze on her gorgeous face stung Eric.His heart throbbed involuntarily.He could not control it.This was not Eric’s intention. He just wanted to find out the facts.However, he could not utter a word of explanation.Kai said coldly, “Nicole, why are you still talking nonsense to him? Now that you’ve figured it out, just kick him out. Must we respond to anyone who accuses us?”There was a bit of chill on Eric’s face.“Chairman Stanton, since you’re confident that Selena isn’t your daughter, why not take a paternity test with her? If the result is as you said, I will stop my investigation and offer you a generous gift
