“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
Floyd was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, “Okay, let her come in.”Nicole smiled, hugged Floyd, and acted like a baby.“Thank you, Dad!”“Alright, alright! Watch your belly!”Floyd smiled helplessly.Nicole stood up and went out to make a phone call. Floyd’s smile faded, and he had a gloomy expression.Selena came over half an hour later.Her eyes were still bloodshot. When she saw Nicole, she smiled gratefully.“Thank you.”Nicole shook her head. “You’re welcome, Selena. This is your only chance.”Selena nodded, then walked in with the bag in her hand.Floyd was in the upstairs study, looking at antiques with his reading glasses.When he heard a knock on the door, he realized who it was and let her in.After all, Nicole and Kai would not knock on the door.Selena walked in.Nicole stood at the door hesitantly.Floyd waved his hand. “You don’t have to be here. Didn’t Clayton say that he’s coming back for dinner? You should ask him what he wants to eat
Eric stretched out his hand to hold Selena’s and squeezed it lightly.“You’re nice too, Selena. When this matter is resolved, shall we go on a vacation abroad?”Selena leaned into his arms and smiled.“Okay.”She also hoped that this matter would be resolved quickly.Jennifer lied, and Eric did not intend to pin his hopes on her anymore.There must be someone controlling Jennifer, so she refused to tell them the truth.Selena and Eric had not been intimate since they were injured and had to recuperate.However, as soon as their warm lips touched, the two of them could not control themselves.They embraced each other, and the temperature of the room rose gradually.The two of them ended their passion when they were both panting, and they could feel the distance between them closing.It might be because they had gone through a life-and-death experience, so they realized each other’s importance.Love did not need to be proclaimed all the time. They could both feel it from each
Mitchell did not want to use such a despicable way to obtain cooperation.However, he also knew that the business world was like a battlefield. This kind of interest replacement was very common.As a staff of Ferguson Corporation, Mitchell should have spoken from Ferguson Corporation’s perspective.Thus, saying these words was a bit out of character for Mitchell.It felt like stabbing Stanton Corporation in the back. If Nicole found out, it would definitely be another bloodbath.Then, they might lose everything.There was always more damage done when two behemoths fought.Eric pondered with a solemn face.“You don’t need to worry.”“Chairman Stanton’s birthday party will be held tomorrow in a villa in the city center. Should we still go?”Mitchell asked.If they went at this time, they would really be shameless.However, Eric was always unpredictable.Thus, Mitchell had to ask clearly before he prepared any gifts.Eric raised his eyes and glanced at Mitchell.“Of course.
Kai glanced at Eric with a strange look before he left in displeasure.He was an award-winning actor, yet he was crushed by a bullish man.Who would believe it?Eric lowered his head and chuckled lightly. Then, he shook his head and gathered his composure before he walked into the lounge.He knew that Kai was still a child at heart and that he had not changed after so many years.Otherwise, Kai would not have hugged Floyd’s thigh and acted like a baby.Floyd looked at all this without any emotional fluctuation. He sat there and was in deep thought.Eric walked over and bowed slightly.“Chairman Stanton, I would like to formally apologize to you for my recklessness last time.”The plaster on Floyd’s arm had been removed, so he was able to move.However, for Floyd, it was not the severity of the injury that determined the issue.This small disturbance had indeed aroused a lot of resentment from the Stanton family.However, Eric still had to do it.Eric could not give up on S
