Ch. 2471..2480

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2471 -Selena stood there. Even if she was a little scared of Eric, she could not show it.

After settling her emotions for a while, Selena narrowed her eyes and walked in slowly.

She saw that the man was standing there motionless, so she could not help but say, "I was wondering who could be so rude to enter my bedroom uninvited. It turned out to be you, Mr. Ferguson. I'm not surprised by this. After all, no one but you will do this."

Facing Selena's derision, Eric did not get angry and yell back.

On the contrary, he was uncharacteristically calm. He squinted his eyes and looked stern.

"Who sent you back?''

Eric could see clearly from upstairs just now, but he just wanted to hear Selena tell him in person.

He had investigated everything about Zachary, so he naturally remembered what car Zachary drove. 1

Eric had come to apologize and reconcile with Selena, but when he saw that scene earlier, he was infuriated.

This woman was really restless!

Selena was puzzled by Eric's indifferent attitude.

She frowned, walked in, and leaned against the wall

languidly.

"Mr. Ferguson, don't you think you’re being too nosy? How does it concern you who sent me back? On the contrary, I should be asking you why you're here, and who allowed you to come into my room?”

The evening light was gorgeous.

It was as if the sunset was taking special consideration of Eric, shrouding him in a faint halo. It was so unreal, as if it was a camera effect.

After a while, Eric finally turned around. His cold and indifferent eyes swept over Selena, and his voice was deep as he said, "You even slept on my bed! You went in and out of my bedroom at will and kissed me proactively. I think our relationship is no longer limited to ordinary friends, right? So, what’s wrong with me coming into your bedroom?”

His righteous attitude made Selena speechless for a moment.

What kind of roguish logic was this?

Selena immediately stood up straight. Her face was glum as she corrected him.

"Don't make it sound so ambiguous. I was your caretaker. That’s why I went in and out of your room at will. Even though we slept in the same bed, nothing actually happened between us, so it didn't mean anything!”

"Hah! Why do you sound so regretful that nothing happened between us?”

The man’s voice was hoarse.

"I'm not! Don't twist my words!”

Selena immediately refuted.

The man frowned and looked at her for two seconds. His throat moved, and his eyes were sharp and cold.

"Twist your words? Did I make up the fact that you took the initiative to kiss me? I didn’t know that you’re one to deny what you've done!"

Selena frowned. She heard some sadness in his tone.

What was happening?

She sneered. "I already told you that I didn't do it on purpose, so just forget it! Can’t you take it as if you got bitten by a dog?"

"No dog dares to bite me!"

Selena looked at him irritably.

"So what? I’ve already apologized, so why are you still harping on this matter? Why don't you publicize it everywhere, then? Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers."

Selena knew that Eric would not dare to make this known to others because he did not want people to know about his injury. He also did not want others to know that he had spent so many days with a woman.

He would not be able to explain himself.

Selena was on the losing end in this matter. If Eric dared to publicize it, her bar's business might even get better!

However, Selena had a clear conscience.

Eric looked at her silently. His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and the emotions in his eyes surged with forbearance and restraint.

He was furious, but he also knew that he was in the wrong.

Eric averted his gaze and looked at the delicate little white flowers growing on the balcony. He instantly calmed down.

At last, he spoke again in a soft voice.

"I didn't come to quarrel with you. I came to explain to you that I didn't mention Derek Norton on purpose last time to provoke you. He's a vile person who isn’t worthy to be compared with me. It's also not your fault that you met him n

It was difficult for Eric to apologize. He did not say "I’m sorry", but he was explaining himself patiently to Selena.

However, this explanation made Selena’s eyes turn red in an instant.

Her heart felt stuffy, and she felt like she could not breathe properly.

She bluntly interrupted his nonsense.

"That's enough! What on earth are you trying to say? Why must you mention Derek Norton over and over again? Yes, I was married to him before, and he was a scumbag, but you

don't have to remind me every now and then so that I don’t forget my identity! I just kissed you, and I've already apologized for it. What else do you want?! Were you so fussy when your ex-wife slept with you?"

Eric was rubbing salt into her wound.

Thus, Selena was returning the favor.

If Eric could mention Derek Norton, why could she not mention Eric’s ex-wife, who was supposedly a terrorist?

Hah! Who was better than whom now?

Eric's eyes were cold, and his face darkened.

His lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and his chest was heaving up and down as he stared at her intently.

Eric looked provoked because of her words.

There was silence in the air for a few seconds.

Both of them fell silent.

The light and shadow were interspersed in the room.

Selena took a deep breath. She looked helpless, defeated, and a bit impatient.

"Fine. I went overboard. It’s important for us to keep our boundaries. How about this? Why don't you tell me what I can do for you to turn the page? I know I was in the wrong. I shouldn't covet you, and I was momentarily confused. I will never dare to do this again."

Selena was extremely humble, but she was also unwilling as she felt aggrieved.

Gradually, her eyes turned red.

That was because Selena felt that Eric had exposed her most wretched and vulnerable side.

Selena also thought of what that bright and sunny Zachary told her on the school playground this afternoon.

Zachary regarded her as a goddess!

However, Selena was nothing but a pile of sh*t in front of Eric. He also wanted to guarantee that she would no longer covet him.

Selena regretted that she did not agree to Zachary's proposal in the afternoon.

How nice would it be to be Zachary's girlfriend?

Selena was never one to feel aggrieved. That marriage broke her, but she escaped without hesitation.

She should find someone who would support her and take care of her sensitive and cynical heart; someone who would protect what little self-esteem she had left.

Selena thought she was crazy. At this moment, she would rather use ten years of life in exchange to turn back time.

If she could turn back time, she would never go to Eric's house, let alone kiss him inexplicably.

That was why Eric was pestering her.

Now, they were at a stalemate.

After a few seconds of silence, Eric’s cold expression changed slightly.

He seemed a little flustered, but that soon disappeared.

Eric did not mean it that way.

Selena, who was right in front of him, looked bold and beautiful with outstanding facial features and a stubborn expression.

When she stood there with reddened eyes that glanced at him coldly, Eric felt his heart clenching.

It was so painful that he could not speak.

Although Selena admitted her mistake and apologized, Eric's eyes became even darker and colder.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2472-"I'm sorry."

Eric blurted out in a low voice.

It seemed that the apology that he had been stewing on was not that difficult to say.

Why did he have to make things worse when he could solve the problem with these two words?

Eric did not feel much better when he saw Selena suffer, apologize, and act indifferent.

He had only one feeling, and that was that he had screwed up very badly.

Selena thought she had misheard, so she raised her eyes to look at him.

Eric's chiseled face was reflected in her eyes. He was shrouded in a halo that made him look exceptionally goodlooking.

Eric was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "I came to apologize. What I said just now was inappropriate, so I take it back. Please don't take it to heart. We're friends, and I don’t mean to look down on your past. You're brave and upright to be able to break free from your past marriage. There's nothing to mention, so I won’t bring it up again."

Selena raised her eyes and met his shallow gaze.

Her anger did not dissipate completely, but at least she was not as angry as before.

She thought that Eric was humane for once.

Was Eric just testing her bottom line by spouting all that nonsense just now?

Hah!

Selena did not speak and continued to look at him.

There was a moment of silence.

Eric took a deep breath and glanced at her slowly.

"Are you still angry? I brought you a present."

Selena sneered and thought, 'Am I the kind of woman who gets easily bribed with gifts? How ridiculous!’

Eric took out a check from his pocket and handed it over.

Selena was taken aback for a moment when she saw the string of numbers.

The stiff expression on her face disappeared in an instant. She could not help but raise her eyebrows. Her surprised eyes lit up.

"$10 million?!"

Selena took it and could not help but smile.

"It's real!"

Seeing how her expression changed so quickly, Eric silently heaved a sigh of relief.

"You deserve it. Although you left before I told you to, I won't renege on this."

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were shining brightly.

"That’s what I'm talking about! Turns out that you're here to give me money. In that case, I forgive you for coming uninvited."

"Thanks for your forgiveness..."

Eric said sarcastically.

Selena snorted softly. For the sake of money, Selena would let him go.

"You're welcome. This is just a trade, so we don’t owe each other anymore. It's best if you don't come here again so as not to be misunderstood."

Selena did not want to hear any more insults from his mouth.

It was humiliating.

Eric was not very happy when he heard that. Instead, his face became gloomier.

"So, are you still mad at me?"

Selena frowned slightly and thought that something was wrong.

"Why do you make it sound like I'm throwing a tantrum? I'm just stating the facts. We haven't reached the point where you can coax me because I'm throwing a tantrum. You don't have to do this."

Selena looked like she wanted to draw the line with him.

Some things were better explained in advance.

Otherwise, everyone would feel awkward in the end.

If Selena had to choose between Eric and Zachary, she would not hesitate to choose Zachary.

There was no doubt about it.

Who would not want a sweet-talking boyfriend who put her on a pedestal every day?

If she dated Eric, a rich man with a long face, she would be no different than a nanny!

She was not cut out to be a nanny.

Selena wanted to be someone else’s goddess!

Thinking of this, Selena could not wait to draw the line with Eric.

Eric pondered for a moment before he frowned and looked at her.

"You don't understand what I mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Selena looked at him sincerely with confusion.

She felt that she had already made it very clear. Eric did not want her to covet him, right?

This was a simple task.

Eric was silent for a few seconds before he answered with restraint.

"I didn't mean to belittle you. I came to apologize to you, and I wanted to tell you that you can like me and pursue me. This is your freedom."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Selena's expression motionlessly.

Selena was not as happy as he imagined.

On the contrary, she looked bewildered and resistant.

Eric felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. His face gradually turned cold.

'This must be a test! Surely...’ Selena thought.

She became vigilant all of a sudden.

Eric scolded her first, and then gave her a check for $10 million.

This was the carrot-and-stick approach, right?

Selena was familiar with this method.

If she dared to agree to his words, he would just humiliate her later.

Selena's eyes fluttered. She looked at the glowing rainbow outside the window and pondered on her word choices before she said, "Mr. Ferguson, I feel your sincerity, but I won’t do anything that goes beyond our ordinary friendship. I'm self-aware, and I know not to believe in fairytales like Cinderella. I won't hope to marry into a wealthy family. I believe that only well-matched couples with similar backgrounds will have stable and long-lasting marriages. I'm not worthy of you, Mr. Ferguson, so I will never dare to dream about you. I know my sense of proportion, and I won't overstep my bounds."

Selena thought there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Eric should be happy, right?

As a result, she squinted her eyes and saw that Eric was looking at her coldly as if he was dissatisfied with her answer.

Selena pursed her lips guiltily and said solemnly, "Of course, if you have any request, I'm willing to cooperate with you as long as you don't go too far. After all, you have helped me so many times, so I can't be ungrateful."

Eric was actually a good man apart from his sharp tongue.

Unfortunately, his sharp tongue was enough for Selena to dislike him.

Selena thought that she had given a politically correct answer, so Eric would not feel embarrassed.

She was very satisfied.

Eric was silent for a moment before he walked out.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions.

Selena waved her hands excitedly.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ferguson! Drive safely!"

Eric's back stiffened slightly. Then, he went downstairs without looking back.

Selena held the $10 million check in her hand tightly and was elated.

Her second branch could open so soon!

Hahahahaha...

Selena took a deep breath and immediately took a photo and sent it to Mitchell.

She typed. [Mr. Crawford, may I ask how I can cash this check?]

Soon, Mitchell replied. [Wow! Congratulations! But don’t be fooled. This check isn’t signed, so the bank won't accept it. It’s no different from scrap paper...]

Selena was speechless.

What the hell!

How could she believe that the b*stard Eric would be so charitable?!

Selena took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart.

That motherf*cker!

This was a worthless check!

Eric said that he did not come to play tricks on her, huh?

Selena gritted her teeth and really regretted thinking that Eric was not that bad.

No, she was wrong.

Eric was simply worthless!

Selena tore the check into pieces and threw it in the trash can.

It was as if that was not a check, but Eric himself.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2473 -Mitchell sent Selena another message. [Which uneducated b*stard gave you this scrap paper, Ms. Nelson? Next time, you can ask me if you don't understand anything. I'll answer your questions anytime!]

Selena paused and replied.

[Thank you. I think it's better you don't know.]

Mitchell was speechless.

He suddenly thought that something was wrong.

Could it be... Mr. Ferguson?

The chat between Selena and Mitchell came to an abrupt end.

Selena took a deep breath and thought of the happiest moments in her life before she could suppress the anger in her heart.

Otherwise, she would really explode.

When she calmed down and planned to go downstairs, Eric suddenly sent her a message.

[I forgot to sign that check just now. Come over tomorrow, and I'll sign it for you.]

Selena did not have any regrets in her heart. She even thought that this was just another one of his traps.

Did that motherf*cker think that she was an idiot?

Selena replied. [Get lost? I don't want your stupid money!]

She also took a photo of the ripped check in the trash can.

Hah!

It was just $10 million.

How dare he humiliate her like this? Did he really think she was a pushover?

Selena refused to be humiliated!

She suddenly felt relieved and felt that she was a million times better than a petty person like Eric.

Eric was speechless.

He sent Selena a question mark but found that he had been blocked.

The sky was getting darker.

The music downstairs gradually became louder.

The nightlife began again.

Since Nathaniel saw Nicole the last time and was exposed by Selena, he never showed up again.

It seemed that he had gone to an unknown island for an adventure again.

Selena devoted herself to the stage and sang several songs in a row like she was letting herself go.

Some influencer recorded a video of Selena singing and posted it online, which caused quite a stir.

People were attracted by the bar owner with a sexy figure and a charming demeanor.

A few days later, the bar's business was booming with several times more customers than before.

Chaz was smiling so much that he had wrinkles all over his face.

Selena was also exhausted.

She was great at making money but had no motivation.

When she was not busy during the day, she would go out and wander around.

Julie saw the video of Selena singing and found it alluring. Thus, she wanted to invite Selena to play a guest role in the new TV show.

Fearing that Selena would refuse, Julie specially invited Nicole to accompany her.

Nicole had just gotten over what happened with Lance and Yvette. She had been putting the company's affairs on hold.

Grant was annoyed with Nicole's idleness and went to her office many times to persuade her to get serious about her career.

After a while, Nicole was so embarrassed that she got over the grief.

After all, those who had passed on were gone, and those who were still alive had to continue their lives.

When Nicole was unhappy, Clayton was also unhappy.

The atmosphere at home was also off.

Chatty was no longer naughty and studied seriously every day, which Nicole was not used to.

Nicole even felt that her daughter was switched.

In fact, Clayton was the one who coaxed his daughter. He told Chatty that Mommy was not in a good mood, so Chatty should not let the teacher call Mommy because of her poor grades. Otherwise, Chatty would have to coax Mommy whenever Mommy cries.

Thus, Chatty was no longer as mischievous as before and carefully considered her mother's feelings.

Nicole was dragged out by Julie to meet Selena.

Julie was in the middle of talking about the latest gossip in the entertainment industry.

A seemingly youthful actress had actually given birth to her second child long ago, but she kept it under wraps.

Another old actor, who was in the limelight and became popular in his middle age, bought out the headlines to reiterate the story of how much he suffered in the filming industry in the past 20 years. In fact, he was just lucky to meet a nitpicking film director, who made him excel in his performance.

There was also another young woman who always kept an innocent persona...

Selena, who was sitting on the side, was stunned when she heard it.

Nicole was not surprised. However, every time an actor or actress get shunned, she would think if they belonged to her company. That way, she could remind Dominic Young to ask for compensation for the damages.

Finally, they talked about Selena.

Julie could not help but say, "I think you have the potential to be an actress. Why don't you give it a shot?"

Selena shook her head. "Am I really cut out to be an actress? Do you think I look like one? I just want to live a quiet life and open a bar!"

Julie glanced at Nicole and signaled her to say a few words.

Nicole coughed and touched the face mask on her face.

"What's so good about being a celebrity? It’s better to be your own boss.

That way, you don't have to care what anyone thinks!"

Selena nodded in agreement.

Julie sighed and looked at the two aggrievedly.

"But that role I have in mind is really suitable for you, Ms. Nelson. You don’t have to make your debut. Why don't you just do me a favor?"

Nicole looked at Selena helplessly.

"Don't mind Julie. She's always like this."

Selena could not help but laugh.

"It’s okay. How about this? I’ll give it a shot. If it's not great, then I’ll leave.

I'll help you just this once!"

Julie sat up happily.

"Okay, deal! Just this once!”

Nicole laughed. After a while, her phone rang.

It was Clayton calling. Nicole quickly answered it.

"Hubby?"

Clayton smiled helplessly.

"Baby, you said you were just going for a coffee. I've already held two meetings for you over here. Are you really not planning to come back?"

Nicole smiled guiltily.

"Just a little while longer. I just refilled the coffee!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.

Julie could not help but roll her eyes.

"Why do you have to sneak out? Is Clayton that strict?"

Nicole stretched out her slender fingers and waved them lightly. Her voice was light and lazy.

"He's not strict. He's just so clingy that he can't leave me alone for a moment!"

Julie and Selena were speechless at Nicole's deliberate show of love.

The three of them finished their facial and went to the mall to shop around.

Selena found that these two rich ladies did not look like they were rich at all. They did not buy things with a wave of a hand like rich people did on TV. Instead, they kept picking without buying anything.

They were the same as her.

In the end, Julie made another appointment with Selena. Nicole also bade them goodbye because Clayton called to urge her again.

The guest appearance did not take much time. Selena only took an afternoon to get it done.

Selena did not expect it to be so simple.

She was also satisfied with the final result.

However, the film would not be released until several months later.

Even so, Julie could not wait to publish a short clip of Selena's cameo online.

Selena's figure in a dark green embroidered slim-fitting dress walked through the narrow corridor immediately gave off an elegant and demure vibe.

Her facial features were gorgeous, well worthy of being on the big screen.

Her figure was graceful with curves in all the right places.

More importantly, Selena's eyes were animated and glowed in the warm light, stirring the audience's souls.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2474-That was why Julie tried her best to invite Selena to make a guest appearance.

Julie always had an eye for potential.

It was just a short clip of around ten seconds, yet it had caused quite a stir online in an instant.

[OMG! She's so beautiful! I want to know who she is!] [Isn't this the singing bar owner some time ago?] [OMG! Her figure is amazing!] [She's so much better than many celebrities. I’m now her true fan!]

Selena was in the bar, holding a cigarette in one hand while scrolling through the comments on her phone.

She clicked her tongue and felt a little helpless.

"Everyone has great tastes to appreciate me so much!"

Chaz was speechless and thought, 'If her fans see this, they will surely cancel her immediately...’

The waiter, who was interested in the topic, came over and asked, "Boss, what's next after this clip? Can you give us some spoilers?"

Selena could not help but laugh.

"She'll undress, of course!"

Everyone was shocked.

Was this something they were privy to?

Selena twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently. "The customers will be here soon, so start preparing..."

She looked back and saw Zachary languidly leaning back and looking at her with gentle eyes and a smile on his face. Selena did not know when he got here.

She paused and laughed.

"Zach, why didn’t you make a sound when you came?" "I was out of town for training the past two days and didn't have time to visit, so I was afraid that you’d forget about me. That’s why I came here as soon as I landed."

Zachary smiled frivolously. His face was tough and handsome.

A faint smile was enough to steal people's hearts.

Zachary brought a gift box over and smiled.

"These are some local specialties. Everyone bought them, so I couldn't refuse. I thought you might like it. But it doesn't matter if you don't like it. You can give it to someone you don't like."

When he said this, Selena, who was initially somewhat resistant, suddenly had no reason to refuse.

She smiled and accepted it naturally.

It was heartwarming to know that someone cared about her.

"Thank you, then. If you called beforehand, I would've reserved the best private room for you!"

Zachary stood there and looked at her with clear eyes.

"I don't want to be in the private room. I just want to stand where I can see you. Otherwise, it won't be interesting for me. Besides, you've already become a lot of people's dream girl now, so I really can't sit still and do nothing."

Zachary had also seen the clip online and was naturally amazed by this short clip.

He could not help his desire and could not resist coming over. 1

Chaz had always been optimistic about this young man, so he went over to greet Zachary eagerly.

"Our boss has always been like this. She's very charming. Our recent business is all because of her! She's effortlessly beautiful. If I didn't like men, I would've pursued her!"

Selena gasped and looked at Chaz inexplicably.

Why did Chaz talk so much?

Zachary nodded in agreement. His eyes fell on Selena, who was extraordinarily gentle and bright.

"You're right. I should really seize the opportunity!"

Selena lowered her head in embarrassment. Her neck was slender, and her skin was fair and smooth.

She was indeed effortlessly beautiful.

Chaz looked at the two of them and wanted, even more, to match them together.

"Why don't you two go out for a walk? It’ll be hectic later with all the customers around, so you guys won’t be able to talk. It's so rare that you two can get together!"

Chaz desperately winked at Selena, signaling for her to seize this opportunity.

Selena wanted to pretend that she did not understand Chaz.

However, Zachary understood Chaz. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, pressed it against his lips, and coughed softly with a bit of embarrassment.

"I don't mind. Selena, do you want to go out?"

At this point, it was useless refusing him.

Selena smiled helplessly.

"Okay. I can treat you to dinner?" "In return, I'll treat you to a movie?"

The two looked at each other, and Selena instantly understood what Zachary meant.

She did not explicitly refuse him and wanted to give them a chance.

It would not be bad if they ended up together.

After all, feelings must be cultivated.

Selena went and changed her clothes. She wore a simple linen dress that was no longer on the market but looked elegant and graceful in it. Her long hair was let loose on her shoulders, and she was stunning.

Zachary's eyes lit up. He reached out to help her carry her bag.

Selena also cooperated and handed it over.

Chaz looked at her as if she was his daughter that was getting married and waved his hand.

"Go out and have fun! Don't rush back!"

Selena was speechless.

They arrive at a restaurant.

Since this was an impromptu date, they did not make a reservation.

Fortunately, Zachary was familiar with the boss, so the boss arranged for them to replace a guest who missed their reservation.

The interior of the restaurant felt vintage with simple yet dated furnishings.

They only took in ten tables of guests per night.

There were also no private dining rooms. Each table was separated by curved dividers that were modern art paintings of beautiful ladies in charming poses.

Selena blushed when she saw it. Her heart also raced.

The desserts here were also unique.

Selena glanced around and smiled.

"You can order, but don't order too much. I don't eat much at night."

This was true mainly because Selena had to maintain her figure. She did not want to be an old and fat rich woman.

Thus, she was persistent in keeping up her looks and figure.

Zachary nodded, not doubting that Selena was being reserved. That was because Selena was not a duplicitous person to him.

While they waited for the dishes to be served, Zachary could not help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Selena, since you're willing to have dinner with me, does that mean I have a chance?" "You really can't give up, huh? Don’t tell me you haven’t had a girlfriend in the past few years?"

As soon as she changed the subject, Zachary coughed seriously and chuckled.

"No, it's just that none of them can compare to you. That's why I wasn't that interested in them. I’ve had two girlfriends, but I broke up with them and don't keep in touch with them anymore. That's why I feel that being able to meet you is truly a blessing from God."

Selena felt at ease with his honesty.

After all, it would be ridiculous if Zachary said he had never had a girlfriend.

In the same restaurant diagonally opposite them was a divider with a painting of a lady dressed in an elaborate dress. A side profile was revealed through the gap of the divider.

The location of that table was the best in the restaurant, and most people could not get a reservation there.

A man and a woman sat on the same side with a vacant seat opposite them. They were probably still waiting on someone.

The man's face was a bit aged and tired. He reminded his daughter, who was sitting next to him, with a cold face.

"You'd better put away that temper of yours. It's already a pleasant surprise that he allowed you to leave the police station. If he finds out what happened, I'm afraid our entire family will end up in jail!”

Cindy pursed her lips unwillingly.

"Dad, I took care of everything, so no one will know."

She lowered her head. Even though she said so, her face became visibly pale.

Cindy was a little worried.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2475-The Role of A Third Wheel

Soon, the person the Yeagers had been waiting for arrived.

That person did not seem the slightest bit guilty for being late.

A little boy followed him.

The kid liked to look around and saw Selena at a glance.

He thought about going there to surprise Selena, but he realized that he came with Eric, so he was hesitant.

Since Chance saw Selena, Eric naturally saw her too.

Eric folded his sleeves with one hand and looked stern as he glanced in the direction of Selena and Zachary. He was exuding such a frightening chill, but the couple did not notice him at all.

Selena and Zachary ate happily and chatted about everything.

Occasionally, they would talk about the people around them in a low voice.

The more they talked, the more they hit it off. They were also no longer as distant as before.

They looked like a young couple in love.

This scene was an eyesore to Eric.

He thought, 'Hah! No wonder that woman was unmoved when I hinted that she could pursue me last time. She even uncharacteristically blocked me and stopped contacting me. Turns out, she already found her next boyfriend! She's really something!'

Eric narrowed his eyes and held back his anger.

He pushed Chance, who was beside him, and said with a motive, "If you want to go over, go ahead. It's only right for you to greet someone you know. I told you that you must be polite. I have something to discuss, so I'll pick you up after I’m done." 3

Chance nodded hesitantly.

He was happy and apprehensive.

That was because he was happy to see Selena yet afraid that he would disturb her.

However, Eric did not care about Chance and walked straight to the Yeagers' table.

Seeing Eric approach, the Yeagers immediately stood up to greet him.

They were a lot more humble than before.

Larry looked inquisitive and cautious.

"Mr. Ferguson, I would like to thank you for letting Cindy out of the police station. Cindy learned her mistake. I hope you won't blame her anymore."

Eric's indifferent eyes glanced at the divider next to him and thought that it was a disturbance.

He inadvertently glanced to the side and smiled faintly and indifferently.

"As long as Ms. Yeager learns from her mistake. She ought to be more careful in the future and stop revealing herself."

Eric had an underlying meaning in saying that.

Cindy only felt a chill on her back that slowly spread all over her body.

She lowered her head. When she thought about the time she saw Selena at Eric's house, she became spiteful again.

However, she suppressed her emotions.

Cindy looked remorseful and fragile, unlike before. She took a deep breath.

"I know I was wrong. Don't worry. I'll watch out in the future." i

To reassure Eric, Larry deliberately said, "I have already found a marriage partner for Cindy. He's the vice president of our company. Although he's divorced, he’s still young and promising. He’ll be able to help Cindy in the future. Mr. Ferguson, I hope that from now on, we can put the past behind us and become good business partners again."

Larry raised his wine glass and looked at Eric respectfully.

Eric swept across Larry’s face lightly. His eyelashes covered his gloomy eyes, and his emotions were inscrutable.

"Of course. I also hope that you guys can take care of yourself."

The Yeagers could tell that Eric was just being perfunctory.

In fact, Eric’s attention was on the table diagonally opposite him.

It was a pity that they were too far away, so he could not hear what was going on.

Chance walked over cautiously and greeted Selena with a smile.

"Aunt Selena, you're here too!"

Selena looked at him in surprise, smiled, and touched his little face.

"It's you! Long time no see. Why haven't you grown taller?"

Chance was shy and embarrassed.

"It's only been a few days, so you won't be able to tell the difference.

Auntie, is this uncle your boyfriend?"

Chance looked at Zachary, smiled, and reached out to shake his hands solemnly.

"Hello, my name is Chance Ferguson."

Zachary raised his eyebrows. He did not expect this kid to be so formal.

Chance Ferguson.

When Zachary heard his name, he knew that the kid had something to do with Eric Ferguson.

Zachary became more alert.

The two shook hands, and Chance said with a smile, "You two are a good match! Uncle, you must treat Aunt Selena well. I hope you two will have a cute baby!"

Selena looked at Zachary in embarrassment and finally looked at Chance with a tangled expression.

Why was this child so similar to Chaz?

Zachary glanced at Chance in surprise.

Chance was completely different from Eric.

Zachary thought Chance was here to make trouble, but Chance's words were pleasant to his ears.

He wished he could reward the kid.

Zachary grinned and immediately moved aside to make space for Chance.

"Come over and sit with us!"

Chance stood there hesitantly and did not agree immediately.

"But I don't want to disturb your date!"

Zachary glanced at Selena. Seeing that Selena had no objection, he smiled brightly.

"It's okay. We have plenty of time to go on dates. This is the first time we meet, so we should get to know each other well."

Chance nodded, raised his bright eyes, and looked at Selena with a smile.

"Auntie, this uncle is really good-looking. He has a good personality too!"

Zachary was a million times better than Eric.

Zachary smiled. He did not expect Eric to have such a cute, smart, lively, clever, and likable son.

This was probably Eric’s only advantage.

However, this advantage did not side with Eric.

Selena could not help but laugh. She immediately called a waiter over.

"Shall I order you a kid's meal? Or do you want something else? Did you come here by yourself?"

Chance smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky. I came with Daddy, but he's socializing and said he'll pick me up when he's done."

Zachary smiled meaningfully but quickly restrained it.

"Selena, why don’t we eat together? This kid is really cute."

Selena nodded. "Sure! Little Chance has always been like this. He’s not at all like his father. The two of them don’t have the same personalities, don’t you think?"

Zachary nodded in agreement.

Except for his looks, Chance was nothing like Eric!

The trio talked, laughed, ate, and drank. Chance did not shy away from praising the two adults.

Chance felt that Selena and the man in front of him were truly a good match.

He also thought that his dad was not good enough for Aunt Selena.

Eric knew their location, but Selena and Zachary did not know where Eric was.

Occasionally, their laughter would reach Eric's ears.

The happier they laughed, the gloomier Eric's face became.

In the end, Larry and Cindy thought that they had done something wrong to upset Eric because they did not know what was going on. The father and daughter were complimenting Eric apprehensively, but Eric was unmoved.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2476 -They're a Good Match

The Yeagers wanted a project that Eric had and expressed it in any way they could.

In the end, they had a few rounds of drinks.

At one point, Eric suddenly laughed good-naturedly and looked at Larry, who was apprehensive.

Eric said in a cold voice, "Since your company has already withdrawn from the project, it's impossible for you to rejoin the project. If you really want it, I can give you another opportunity. Some time ago, my project in a neighboring city had already finished laying the foundation. But I encountered some difficulties with that project, so I don’t plan to continue it. Mr. Yeager, if you're interested, you can take it."

Larry was slightly taken aback. He drank a lot of wine all night, so his face was flushed from the alcohol.

On the contrary, Eric only sipped on his drink and did not drink much. Thus, he did not look drunk at all.

Cindy was distressed when she saw her father like this. However, she did not dare to say a word. She also drank a lot, so her mind was muddled. That was why she decided to keep her mouth shut.

Larry’s eyes froze slightly. "Really?"

He looked delighted.

Although the project in the neighboring city was not as good as the one he cooperated with Ferguson Corporation before, it was still a project that could bring steady profit.

He would not lose money in this project, and the preliminary work was completed. If he took over now, it would definitely go very smoothly.

However, Larry was concerned about one thing. Cindy was the one who sent someone to sabotage Eric that day in the neighboring city during the project's foundation laying.

If Eric found out, the Yeagers would definitely have to pay a hefty price.

At this moment, Larry was already busy cleaning up the mess. He did not know if Eric was trying to test them.

Larry struggled for a while, but he did not dare to show it on his face.

He just looked surprised.

On the contrary, Cindy was in shock.

She looked at Eric, and then at her father.

She hesitated to speak.

However, to dispel Eric's suspicion, Larry immediately agreed.

"If that's the case, it would be great! Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Ferguson."

At least, the project in the neighboring city could solve their immediate needs.

Maybe it was all just a coincidence, and Eric did not know anything.

Thinking of this, Larry became more confident when he saw Eric's expressionless face.

Eric smiled and immediately made a phone call, asking the driver to bring up the contract.

It turned out that Eric was ready for this.

Larry felt a little strange in his heart, but he could not pinpoint what was wrong.

When the driver delivered the contract, Eric placed it in front of Larry.

"Mr. Yeager, take a closer look. If there are no problems, you can sign the project, and the project in the neighboring city will belong to you. Ferguson Corporation won't interfere in it anymore."

Larry was a little shocked. "Ferguson Corporation is going to withdraw from this project?"

Eric rubbed his eyebrows. He seemed a bit drunk as he replied slowly.

"I had an unpleasant experience there, so I don't want that project anymore and plan to sell it. If you want it, you can take it. If you don't want it, there are many others waiting for it tomorrow morning. This price is the lowest, so there's no room for negotiations."

His voice was deep and cold. He glanced sideways inadvertently.

When he looked back, his eyes were solemn.

At the same time, he was putting a lot of pressure on Larry.

Ferguson Corporation's withdrawal meant that no one else would share the risk.

However, it also meant that no one else would get a cut of the pie.

Most people would be tempted in the face of such huge profits.

However, $900 million was not a small sum.

At present, Larry could barely make the $900 million with all the assets of Yeager Corporation as well as a mortgage loan from the bank. The risk was too great.

If it was not for what Cindy did to Eric, Larry would not have hesitated for so long.

However, because of that incident, Larry was worried whether this was a trap set by Eric.

Eric noticed Larry's dilemma and curled his lips in amusement.

He set a trap for the Yeagers and was confident enough that they would jump into it willingly.

It was a tailor-made trap, so why would the Yeagers reject it?

Eric sat there quietly and seemed patient.

On the side, he could still hear annoying laughter and chatter.

The colorful neon lights lit up the streets outside.

Eric suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

It turned out that there were many things that he could not have.

He did not care for the money and profits he had, but he kept working for it anyway.

Cindy looked at the document with a dazed and hesitant expression.

It was indeed an enticing project, but the risks were also great.

This might be the only one in a while.

Cindy looked at Larry.

The two of them drank a lot, but they both knew the weight of this contract clearly.

"Mr. Ferguson, can you wait until tomorrow morning? We'll sign the contract and deliver it to Ferguson Corporation in person."

Cindy bit her lower lip with a hint of hope.

Eric sneered. His eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Mr. Yeager, it seems that you still don't trust me. Forget it then. I just wanted you to pick this up because I felt sorry for kicking you out of the project last time. If you can’t take it, then I’ll give it to someone else. Keith Ludwig has asked several times about this project, so I won't have to wait until tomorrow. He can come now."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and found Keith's number.

Just as Eric was about to make the call, Larry stopped him immediately."

Wait a minute..."

Eric raised his eyes.

Larry twitched the corners of his mouth. He looked tangled.

"We'll sign it.”

One could only gain wealth through risks.

Larry knew that there was no other way.

They lost the project they cooperated with Eric in the early stage, so the Yeagers already lost a lot of human, material, and financial resources because of it.

Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of Ferguson Corporation's power to regain their strength.

However, Eric clearly did not want to give them the chance to lean on him.

If they rejected the project in the neighboring city, their future development in Atlanta would only be more difficult.

The pie was only so big. Getting Eric’s leftovers was more than enough for them to survive.

This was a fact.

Cindy frowned. She wanted to say something, but Larry stopped her with his warning gaze.

Eric smiled and watched as Larry signed his name. Then, Larry solemnly handed the contract over to Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, I trust you.”

Eric raised his eyebrows. "Mr. Yeager, the project in the neighboring city is yours. As soon as I receive your money tomorrow morning, my people will withdraw from the project. You can get your people to get ready tonight.

Cindy frowned. "So fast?"

Eric replied, "Of course, so as not to drag this on. We bought this project at $900 million in the early stage, and I'm selling it to you at the same price now. I didn’t make any money from this, so I certainly won’t put in any more manpower and resources into this project."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2477 -Eric smiled slyly, but it was a fleeting moment.

Cindy was stunned for a moment.

Larry touched his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, in that case, we'll notify the bank immediately and prepare the staff. Tomorrow morning, my people will go for the handover."

Eric nodded and looked at the time.

"In that case, let's go back and prepare for it."

Eric stood up.

Seeing this, Larry and Cindy did not keep him.

They left the table. When Eric walked out, he found that the people behind him had long since disappeared.

Everyone at that table left.

His eyes dimmed slightly. Finally, he casually walked to the entrance of the restaurant.

Chance was already sitting inside the car, obediently doing the homework assigned by Eric.

Eric stood there. He was not in a hurry to get in the car. Instead, he looked at Chance with deep eyes and paused slightly.

"Dinner's over? Where did they go?"

Chance pursed his lips and did not want to say anything, but Chance could not lie under Eric’s cold gaze.

"Aunt Selena and Uncle Zach went to the movie theater." 'They're watching a movie?"

Eric's eyes instantly turned cold.

He had a playful smirk on his face as he thought, 'Hah! Are they really dating? First, dinner. Then, the movies. Has this woman really found her next boyfriend? No wonder she didn’t care about me or that $10 million at all these days!'

Eric's chest heaved.

The sky was dark, and the streetlamp cast an elongated shadow on the ground.

Standing there, Eric seemed to merge with the darkness behind him.

He was lonely, indifferent, and reserved.

The driver was waiting for Eric but did not dare to rush him.

Chance also noticed that Eric was in a bad mood. He looked up nervously and asked, "Daddy, don’t you want to get in the car?"

Eric pursed his thin lips tightly. His eyes were indifferent.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Are they dating?"

Chance did not quite understand the meaning of dating until Chatty mentioned every day in school that her parents were dating. She said that dating meant that two people were together.

That was what intimate people did.

Why was his dad unhappy?

Chance thought that Eric disliked Selena because they always quarrel every time they meet.

How rough!

Chance nodded obediently and said seriously, "Uncle Zach is very nice to Aunt Selena. They'll get married and have a baby. They also promised me that they will invite me to their wedding!"

Eric's eyes were mocking and indifferent.

They were dark and bottomless.

He lowered his eyelashes and beckoned for Chance to get out of the car.

Chance did not understand what Eric wanted, but he obeyed anyway.

Standing in front of Eric, Chance looked up at him.

Eric stood there tall and straight, so Chance had to really look up to see Eric.

It was already late at night.

Chance just wanted to go back to sleep. After all, he had to go to school tomorrow.

However, Eric obviously did not intend to let Chance sleep.

Eric lowered his head, looked at Chance's innocent face with dark eyes, and asked word by word, "Do you want Selena to be your mother?"

This question made the air seem stagnant.

Chance stood there in a daze and thought he had misheard.

However, Eric repeated it again.

Chance tightly shut his mouth and did not speak.

He heard it clearly, but he was shocked to the core.

After all, from what he knew, his dad did not like Aunt Selena at all.

Why did his dad bring this up all of a sudden?

The air was chilly, but neither father nor son realized it.

Eric became a little impatient. He saw Chance's struggle and thought that it was more unpleasant than looking at the Yeagers just now.

At least, the Yeagers would not go against his will.

However, Chance was not as happy as Eric expected.

How strange.

For a while, Eric's jaw tightened. His face was glum, and he said, "I will get married one day. So, instead of choosing a well-matched but scheming woman to marry into the Ferguson family, it's better to choose one who is nice to you and that you don't hate. I think Selena is a suitable candidate. What do you think?”

Eric seemed to be asking Chance for his opinion very patiently.

He even gave him a simple and clear analysis of the pros and cons.

It was obvious what the advantages were.

Cindy came from a well-matched family, but she was devious and scheming. She looked presentable outside, but she would not stay still at home.

In the future, it was possible that Chance would not get a penny of the Ferguson family's property.

Eric was warning and reminding Chance that he had a share in the Ferguson family.

Moreover, Eric was also being considerate of him. Thus, Eric thought of having Chance's favorite Aunt Selena be his wife in the future.

This way, what belonged to Chance in the Ferguson family would still be his.

There was no flaw in what Eric said.

Chance should be grateful at this time, but there was no joy on his face. All that remained was a bit of fear and bewilderment.

Eric's face darkened.

'Why? You don’t like her anymore?”

Chance fiddled with his fingers and seemed a little nervous.

"I like Aunt Selena very much, but I can’t do this. Aunt Selena will be with Uncle Zach soon. She should marry someone she likes instead of marrying you just to be my mommy. It’s not fair to her."

Chance raised his head and voiced his thoughts seriously.

His small face was tense as he looked at Eric nervously.

Chance also liked Aunt Nicole because Eric liked her.

However, Aunt Nicole had her own kid. Everytime Aunt Nicole looked at him, it was different from the way she looked at Chatty and Fischer.

Only Aunt Selena would always have a kind and warm smile when she looked at him.

That joy was contagious.

However, Chance also knew that his dad liked Aunt Nicole, so it would be unfair to Aunt Selena if his dad married her.

Thus, Chance could not bring himself to do this to Selena.

Eric took a deep breath and looked at Chance with deep eyes. His complexion became even worse.

Time froze for ten seconds.

The air felt a little colder.

Eric took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, lowered his eyelashes, and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

"You're very thoughtful of Selena. I guess she didn’t like you for nothing."

Chance was nothing like Eric or Angie.

Angie was cruel, while Eric was selfish.

However, Chance was a kind and naive child who was not selfish at all.

How could this not surprise Eric?

Eric looked up at the dark sky and could not conceal his anger and frustration.

Soon, he lowered his head and asked, "Which movie theater did they go tor

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2478 -Chance bit his lower lip and felt even more bewildered.

Eric spoke impatiently.

"That Zachary guy isn't a good person. Do you want Selena to be with that kind of scumbag? He's a two-faced person. Do you know why Selena's bar was closed some time ago? It was all because of that Zachary guy!"

After Eric finished what he said, Chance's eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless.

Eric looked at him seriously. His voice was deep.

"Now, do you still think they're a good match? Do you want to watch as Selena falls into his trap and gets cheated on? Do you want her to be bullied like she was in her previous marriage?"

Chance's face turned pale in an instant. He stood there anxiously, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Seeing this, Eric lowered his eyes slightly, squatted down on one knee, and met Chance's gaze.

His tone was solemn, and he seemed to be coaxing Chance.

"So, I think by letting her be your mommy, we can at least protect her, right? I’ve helped her so many times, so I certainly won't bully her. Since you like her too, we shouldn't let them be together."

Eric's words were clear and cold as he brainwashed Chance.

Chance's small face was slightly stunned. He immediately lowered his eyes.

He seemed to be deliberating whether what Eric said was reasonable.

After a long time, he nodded solemnly.

"Daddy, I know where they went. Let's go!"

It was rare for Eric to finally show a smile on his icy face. He touched Chance's curly hair for the first time.

"What a good boy!”

Chance was flattered.

However, he believed what Eric said. 1

If Uncle Zach was a bad person, Chance would not sit idly by. Aunt Selena might as well marry his father, so when he grows up, he could give her a lot of money.

Chance thought other men were unreliable, and only he could protect Aunt Selena.

Soon after, the black Bentley drove through the night and arrived at a private cinema at Central Square.

Although Zachary had an ordinary job, he still had bourgeois taste and hobbies.

He did not want to go to ordinary movie theaters because of the crowd.

What he wanted was a romantic atmosphere.

This would also make women feel more valued, and there was nothing wrong with it.

From Eric’s point of view, this was childish and disgusting.

He was rendered speechless.

Eric got out of the car. Chance also climbed down.

He looked at Eric and said, ''Daddy, let me go. Aunt Selena will believe me if I tell her."

What Chance implied was that Selena might not believe what Eric said.

It might be a little annoying to hear, but it was true.

Eric pursed his lips. He did not say much and nodded lightly.

However, he followed Chance.

There were not many movies showing, and the most recent one was twenty minutes ago. The other movies had not started yet.

Eric followed behind. "What are they watching?"

He just asked casually.

However, he did not expect Chance to know this. "Midnight Horror.”

Eric frowned in shock and disgust.

Zachary was really lame, i

The movie that started 20 minutes ago was Midnight Horror.

Only ten people were allowed to go in and watch each time.

Of course, if conditions permit, the hall could also be reserved.

However, this film was not great, so almost no one watched it.

Only Zachary, who had ulterior motives, would watch this movie.

The waiter suggested that Eric bring Chance to watch "Children's Paradise", but Eric sternly rejected that idea.

Even if they were 20 minutes late, they still wanted to watch "Midnight Horror".

Most importantly, Little Chance was also very firm on this decision.

Thus, the two of them went to the hall one after the other.

Chance walked in front and glanced around. The hall was empty, and there was suspense music playing on the surround sound as a scary scene appeared on the big screen.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Zachary watching the screen intently.

Zachary looked serious and frowned as he watched, but Selena, who was next to him, had already fallen asleep with her head tilted.

Chance's eyes lit up, and he happily ran over.

When Zachary saw Chance, he was taken aback.

"Little Chance?"

Chance's smile faded slightly. Although he had a good impression of Zachary at first, after hearing what Eric said, Chance had a prejudice against Zachary.

Anyone who deceived Aunt Selena was not a good person.

Thus, Chance no longer looked at Zachary with such a warm and kind gaze. Instead, he walked over to Selena and gently nudged her.

Selena squinted her eyes for a while, but the sound of this horror movie was a good lullaby.

She planned to go home and download a special horror film lullaby to help with her insomnia. That way, she could even save on melatonin in the future.

"Oh, Chance! Why are you here?"

Selena was a little shocked.

Chance looked back and did not see Eric.

Thus, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Auntie, I want to watch a movie too. That’s why I came here. But I got lost. Can you take me back?”

Selena’s eyes widened in shock.

This reason was a bit far-fetched.

Chance stood there and looked at her sincerely and seriously.

"Daddy just left me at the entrance of the movie theater because he was angry with me. He left with the driver. My teacher said that children should only take taxis with the company of adults, so I can't take a taxi back alone."

Selena nodded instantly.

There was nothing wrong with that.

It also sounded something like what that b*stard Eric would do.

How could he leave such a cute child at the entrance of the cinema?

Was he not afraid of human traffickers?

Selena felt angry when she thought about it.

Suddenly, her sleepiness dissipated.

She immediately sat up straight and looked at Zachary apologetically.

"Um..."

Zachary nodded in understanding.

"I understand. Of course, Chance is more important. We have plenty of time anyway. Why don't we send him back together?"

Selena thought it made sense. Just as she was about to nod her head in agreement, Chance immediately said, "Auntie, don't send me back. I don't want to go home. Daddy will scold me when he's angry. Can I stay with you? I promise I'll be good!"

He sincerely promised them, so Selena could not refuse him.

Zachary squinted his eyes and had a playful look on his face.

He wanted to say something, but he did not.

He only looked at Selena with a gentle expression and nodded in agreement.

Zachary was no longer in the mood to continue watching the movie.

Initially, Zachary did not expect the effect of the horror film to be completely opposite to what he thought.

Selena did not tremble in fear.

Instead, she slept very soundly.

He watched it with trepidation, but luckily, Selena did not expose his purpose in watching this movie.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2479 -The three of them walked out side by side.

Chance also looked left and right, seemingly looking for something.

When Selena asked him, Chance answered solemnly, "I'm looking around to see if Daddy is hiding somewhere. What if he comes to pick me up?"

Selena sneered.

"Stop dreaming. Your dad is considered nice to allow you into the house. How can he come back to pick you up? I don’t even dare to think about it on your behalf!"

Chance silently lowered his head and thought, 'Aunt Selena really understands Daddy!'

However, Chance felt a little guilty. After all, he made up this excuse and made Eric seem like a ruthless person.

He hoped that his dad would not blame him when he found out. 1

He only did it for Aunt Selena's sake.

Chance thought it through. Instead of letting Selena fall in love with those unreliable men, it would be better for her to be his stepmother!

At least, Eric would provide for Selena. Even though Eric was sharp- tongued, he would not deceive Selena like other men.

That way, Chance could have a perfect stepmother.

This was the best of both worlds!

As Chance thought about it, his steps when he walked out became much lighter, i

Zachary drove them back to the bar.

The bar was bustling at the moment. Selena wanted to invite Zachary in, but Chance was so sleepy that he started to rub his eyes. Thus, Selena gave up on that idea.

Zachary smiled, watched Selena go in, and drove away.

However, he did not notice a black Bentley that had also arrived not long ago, was parked quietly in the dark on the other side of the road.

Selena greeted Chaz and brought Chance up the stairs.

There was only one bedroom upstairs, so the sleeping arrangement was a problem.

There were many private rooms downstairs, but they were naturally not as comfortable as Selena's bedroom. Selena did not want Chance to suffer.

Selena sighed. If she had known earlier, she would have renovated the upstairs area to have two rooms. At least then, there would be one more guest room.

Chance, who was next to Selena, saw Selena's tangled expression and said sensibly, "Auntie, I’m not sleepy right now. After everyone leaves, I'll just go downstairs and sleep there. Daddy said that I shouldn't sleep in a girl's room, even yours. I'm a man, so I should let you have the bed."

Selena's heart melted. She had never raised a child before, so she did not know that children were such cute creatures.

She smiled and stroked his hair.

"It's okay. I remember there's a camp bed in the warehouse. I'll take it out later. Can you sleep on it?"

Chance nodded happily.

Selena hesitated again.

"Do you want to tell your dad that you're here? Otherwise, he’ll get anxious if he can't find you like the last time."

Chance hesitated for a few seconds before he nodded.

"I'll call him!"

Selena was glad to hear this.

After all, she did not want to talk to Eric.

Selena still remembered that $10 million check, so she always reminded herself to avoid that man.

Chance took out his smartwatch, found Eric’s phone number, said a few words, and hung up.

Selena did not have the habit of listening to other people's phone calls, so she went to the warehouse to find the unused camp bed.

She clearly remembered that it was there, but she could not find it.

When she went back to her bedroom, Chance was already standing at the door.

She paused, and Chance smiled and said, "Auntie, Daddy has forgiven me. He said he would come to pick me up."

Selena froze for a moment. She was a little shocked.

When did Eric change his temperament? How could he calm down so quickly?

A man's heart was unfathomable.

Selena curled her lips. "Okay. Then you should follow your dad later. Sit here for a while. I’ll get changed and take you downstairs later.”

Earlier, Selena changed especially for a date with Zachary. She wore comfortable and casual clothes that were also elegant and sweet enough to make her look like a youthful lady.

Thus, it was not suitable for wearing in the bar.

Selena wanted to change into something more comfortable and sexy.

Chance nodded. He obediently sat down on the chair in the small living room next to the bedroom.

Then, he felt that it was wrong and stood up.

"I'll go downstairs and say hello to Uncle Chaz. He gave me snacks last time."

Chance thoughtfully gave Selena some private space.

Then, he went downstairs.

Selena really had an indescribable liking for this kid.

This child was like an angel!

Selena went to the bedroom without worries.

Usually, no one would go upstairs, so Selena did not have the habit of locking the door except for when she was sleeping.

The music downstairs was deafening.

Every time Selena was upstairs, she always felt that the music could make her building collapse

Selena undressed halfway. Before she had time to appreciate her beautiful and slender body, she inadvertently saw a tall figure standing at the door from the corner of her eye.

Selena was startled and looked back abruptly.

Eric stood there with a cold and stern expression. He frowned at her as if he just saw something disgusting.

Selena's heart shrank violently, and she quickly pulled up her clothes in fright.

She glared at Eric fiercely. Her face was extremely glum.

"Do you have manners? Don't you know how to knock when you come in? You're always like this!"

Selena admitted she was a little irritated.

Not only because Eric saw her naked body, but also the look of disgust in his eyes after he saw her.

It was as if she was some kind of scourge that he had to avoid or some unwanted garbage.

Thinking of how he humiliated her last time, Selena felt annoyed.

She held a grudge and refused to let him get his way.

Therefore, the love between a man and a woman is absolutely impossible for Eric!

Eric stood there. His black eyes were deep and dark. His voice was also a little hoarse.

"Sorry. I knocked, but you didn't hear it."

His lighthearted words made Selena's accusation seem a little unreasonable.

This made Selena even angrier.

She stood there, gritted her teeth, and looked at him indifferently.

"Even if I didn't hear it, that doesn’t give you the right to come in as you please, right?"

There was a brief stalemate between the two.

Eric withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and turned around.

"Go ahead. I'll wait for you outside."

Then, he went out and closed the door.

This did not calm Selena.

She took a deep breath and felt that her lungs were about to explode.

Why did people like Eric exist in this world?

Eric took advantage of her, but she did not want to be calculative.

That was because Selena did not want Eric to say that he had seen a lot of women who had better figures than her and that it was her honor that he looked at her.

If Eric really said those words, Selena would definitely punch him so hard that his father would not recognize him.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2480-That was why Selena put the focus of Eric's offense on his impoliteness for not knocking on the door.

How frustrating.

Selena took a deep breath and did not even bother to change. She fixed her clothes and went out.

Eric stood tall beside the railing and looked down.

He was holding a cigarette in his hand that he had just lit. His expression was inscrutable as his face was in the shadows.

Hearing the movement, Eric turned his head and frowned slightly when he saw that Selena had not changed her clothes.

However, he did not ask about it. Selena was probably still angry and wanted to scold him to vent her anger.

Eric paused. His throat moved slightly, and he averted his eyes guiltily.

Selena came out with her arms folded, glanced at Eric, and walked downstairs without saying anything.

Eric froze slightly. His voice was deep and low.

"Selena, let's talk."

Selena paused. She turned slightly sideways and looked at him strangely and coldly.

"Didn't you come to pick up your son? He’s downstairs now. Pick him up and leave quickly.”

Selena had nothing to say to Eric.

It must be too late now.

Between Eric and Zachary, anyone with eyes would choose Zachary.

Selena was not stupid!

Although Selena did not like Zachary that much, at least Zachary liked her!

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left gracefully.

Eric suddenly thought of the short clip on the internet that Mitchell showed him. Mitchell even said that Selena was talented and that she could become popular if she changed her career to become an actress.

He sneered in disapproval.

However, at this moment, Eric suddenly felt that what Mitchell said made sense.

The woman in the video was elegant and charming. Her eyes were glimmering and indescribably alluring.

His heart clenched tightly, and he raised his voice a little.

"I’ve seen everything."

Selena's back froze. She turned around abruptly and glared at Eric with a sharp gaze.

Eric was unmoved as he stood there and stared at her. He tapped the railing with the hand holding the cigarette and said, "Come here. Let’s talk."

He seemed to be able to grasp Selena's emotions easily, and he did not care whether his means were despicable as long as he could achieve his goal.

Selena took a deep breath, walked over to Eric with a lot of resentment, and stopped one step away from him, refusing to take a step closer.

She raised her chin slightly with a bit of arrogance. Her long and thick eyelashes were trembling.

"Mr. Ferguson, I didn't even pursue your responsibility for being a peeping tom, so how dare you bring it up?! What, are you so proud of peeking at women when they change? Is that your fetish? It turns out that you're such a crazy pervert!"

She cursed at him in one breath and suddenly felt much better.

Eric was livid. He took a deep breath, and his chest heaved up and down.

If he was not mentally prepared, he would have been exasperated.

This happened every time they met.

Thus, Eric seemed immune to it.

It was funny to think that Eric would one day be used to a woman scolding him.

Eric pursed his lips. His face was glum, and his eyes were dark.

"I've been waiting for you to look for me and cash that check. Who told you to tear it up and block me?”

Eric did not expect that the woman who took care of him for $10 million would be so determined.

She did not seem to care about that $10 million.

Eric had been waiting for Selena to regret her actions.

It was just a torn check, and he still had plenty.

As long as she begged him, he would naturally give her a new one.

After all, he had loads of money.

Eric hoped that Selena was a money-grubber.

That way, he could at least have the means to keep her.

Yes, keep her.

Eric did not know why he was so interested in a woman who was not Nicole.

It might be because he had not been around women for too long.

Eric was not interested in anyone but was attracted to Selena.

He pitied her and pampered her, but she still played hard to get.

Eric was sure of his heart.

He was extremely loyal to Nicole. That was also a pain and regret that he would never forget in his life.

Nicole had an elusive existence in his life.

Eric was willing to risk his life for Nicole.

However, she did not care about him.

Thus, when he saw how happy Nicole was, he felt a lot more at ease.

Eric persuaded himself to be more open-minded and get on the normal trajectory of life.

Marrying Cindy was normal, but he did not marry her.

Selena's appearance made him deviate from the track again. Eric admitted that he was disturbed by Selena's existence.

At first, when Selena said that she approached him deliberately, Eric was glad although he did not admit it.

However, Selena gave up on him and approached Zachary instead. Thus, Eric felt uncomfortable.

Eric was possessive. Even before he figured out his feelings for Selena, he started to make trouble.

It was always right to strike first, just in case it was too late.

Then, he would really end up with nothing.

Yes, Eric feared that he would be one step too late.

He stood there with countless thoughts running through his mind, but on the surface, he looked calm and gloomy.

When Selena heard about the check, she became even more furious.

She thought, 'He actually has the cheek to mention that check?! Why did he speak so nonchalantly and blame it on me instead?!’

Selena choked. She was hot-headed and gritted her teeth. She raised her chin slightly, with a bit of disdain.

"Isn't it just a piece of scrap paper? Do you think I'm easy to fool? You just want to use this to humiliate me. Don’t think I'm unaware! I've shown you enough respect just by blocking you and not going over to curse at you and expose your petty behavior!"

She spoke in one breath. Her words were sharp, and she vented out everything that had been bottled up for several days.

Selena thought, ‘Eric is such a b*stard and hypocrite! Did he really think that I was easy to fool?! If it wasn't for Mitchell's reminder, I would still be in the dark. If I foolishly went to the bank to cash the check, the bank staff would’ve laughed at me!’

She took a deep breath and soothed her chest. She looked like she had won the fight.

Selena sized up Eric, who looked restrained with his lips pursed into a straight line.

Her beautiful face was filled with anger.

"You still have the nerve to come over?! In that case, let me make it clear to you. I don’t want your stupid money, take your dirty money and get out! Don’t even say that I've coveted you for a long time. I was just fooling you! You've been divorced twice, but you still have the nerve to look down on me? Even if you stripped naked, stood in front of me, and begged me to take you with $10 million in your hand, I wouldn't even take a glance at you! I'm going to have a boyfriend soon, so you'd better stay away from me! I'm afraid my boyfriend will misunderstand our relationship!"

Selena simply said the last sentence and did not expect Eric’s face to get even gloomier.

Eric was domineering. His dark and gloomy eyes were probing as he slowly narrowed them.

"Boyfriend? That boy toy named Zachary? The one you went to dinner and watched a movie with today?"
