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
Aida smiled. Seeing that Floyd’s mood improved, she stood up and went to the kitchen.“I’m going to see what we should have for dinner. Is Julie coming back tonight?”Kai responded with a smile. “Aida, don’t worry about her. She’s very watchful of what she eats after she gets pregnant because she was worried about getting fat.”The atmosphere gradually improved.In the car, Eric received a call from Mitchell.“Did the results come out?”They did not get Floyd’s DNA sample, but they managed to get samples from other suspects.“Yes. None of them is a match.”With Mitchell's words, the air in the car cooled down.Selena’s eyes dimmed slightly.She was a little disappointed.This way, their hope still fell on Floyd.Eric grabbed Selena’s hand.“Don’t worry. We’ll find a way.”Selena nodded. “I don’t think Chairman Stanton is that kind of person.”Floyd always talked about his late wife and raised his children to be harmonious.It was rare among the rich.This matter was on
The inside of the villa seemed to be the same as before, but the dust that fell on it formed a solid memory.Selena and her aunt stepped in one step at a time, destroying the integrity of the place.The aunt covered her mouth and nose, not wanting to smell the rotten and unpleasant smell inside.“I won’t go upstairs. You can go by yourself and take whatever you want.”If it was not for Jennifer, she would not have come here at all.She was not worried that Selena would find any bank cards here.That was because when Selena’s mother passed away, the old man had already searched and taken away all the valuables.The rest were irrelevant things.Selena looked at the surrounding furnishings.The living room was decorated in a warm beige color scheme, and the light was supposed to shine through the windows.However, the floor-to-ceiling window was covered in greenery that blocked all the light, making it airtight and bringing about unbearable stuffiness.Selena could vaguely see
[This little baby in my arms looks very much like me and Joel. I’m looking forward to her growing up. She likes the swing downstairs and climbs up and down the stairs. She always sneaks away when I’m not paying attention.][She is a beam of light that isn’t strong, like the bright and gentle moonlight, which makes my life a little brighter.][Selena, Mom has loved you in the past year, but I can’t continue to love you anymore. The devil came with your paternity test, and my love for you has become a betrayal. He asked me to continue that disgusting relationship, but I said no. I know that my time is up. I don’t want my life to be dictated by others, so I would rather die to free myself. I thought about taking you with me, but I couldn’t bear it. If you survive this and grow up, you must remember not to look for that devil. How great would it be if you were Joel and my child? But I hope that I will never meet Joel Nelson in my next life.]Selena’s mother hated her incompetent husband
