The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2501-Deserve a Scolding

Eric also saw Chaz. He had investigated Chaz before and found that Chaz liked men.

Thus, Eric was not threatened by Chaz. He walked over, smiled, and patted Chaz on the shoulder.

"Don’t go upstairs and disturb her. She just fell asleep, so just remind her to eat when she wakes up."

"Sure, Mr. Ferguson. Goodbye!"

Chaz watched stiffly as Eric left the bar.

Eric looked like he was head over heels in love.

Would a domineering president be in love?

Was Eric serious about Selena?

Chaz looked upstairs. His footsteps were light.

Eric ordered him not to disturb Selena.

Selena slept until noon.

However, she did not wake up by herself. She was woken up by Chaz's knock on the door.

Selena sat up in a daze and went to open the door.

"What do you want?"

Chaz looked at her angrily.

"The downstairs is flooded, yet you’re still sleeping soundly!

Did you leave the tap on when you went to the bathroom in the morning?"

He could not care less and ran inside to turn off the tap.

Sure enough, the water stopped flowing.

Chaz stood there and sighed in relief.

As soon as Selena came to her senses, she was shocked to see the water on the ground, which spread from the bathroom. The flooded area was not large, but there were water marks on the floor where the water had seeped through.

That was why Chaz sensed that something was wrong and knocked on the door.

Selena's face changed slightly. "Is the damage downstairs serious?"

Chaz sighed. "Two private rooms are completely unusable because the wallpaper has fallen off. I think it’ll take two days to fix."

He thought Selena was careless, so he did not scold her outright.

After Selena thought about it for a while, she remembered that Eric was the only one who used the sink here in the morning.

She thought, 'Did that b*stard do this on purpose?' ’

Her face was glum as she took a deep breath.

"Never mind. Just fix whatever needs fixing. The

waterproofing was not done well in the first place, so let's just do a thorough repair this time."

Chaz looked at her. 'That will cost a lot of money!”

Selena waved her hand. "Don't worry about money."

Opening a bar was quite profitable, and Selena had some savings.

However, Chaz misunderstood her and said with a smile," Oh, right. This is nothing but a drop in a bucket to Mr.

Ferguson. We’ll spend as much as we can while he’s in a good mood!"

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth, but she did not explain anything.

She looked at the scene and knew that she could not live here anymore.

How troublesome!

After Chaz went downstairs, Selena took out her phone and called Eric.

Was this really that b*stard Eric's doing?

Eric was at the golf course.

He could not reject this business entertainment in the morning.

A few of Eric's friends also came over to join in the fun. Eric was afraid of missing any calls, so he glanced at his phone from time to time.

The people around him were all single, except Keith.

Thus, they were curious about Eric’s behavior since Eric was also single.

"Eric, why are you always looking at your phone? Why don't you look at us since you haven't seen us for a long time?"

An old friend came back from abroad and planned to develop his business in Mediania.

Eric snorted lightly. "Why would I look at you guys?”

He shook his head.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Eric immediately picked it up and saw that it was indeed Selena.

He smiled out of the blue.

The people around him did not believe that a woman would call Eric because they were well aware of Eric's experience.

Eric was so deeply in love with Nicole that he would do anything for her. Thus, they pitied him. 1

They did not dare to mention women when they were with Eric, but they jokingly said, "We’re having fun now, so don’t take business calls."

Eric frowned. He was not in a hurry to answer and looked at them solemnly as he explained, "It's not a business call. It’s a personal matter."

Everyone was stunned.

"Personal matter? Is it a woman?”

Someone next to Eric laughed and said, 'That's impossible."

"Yeah, how could it be a woman?”

"When would he have the time or energy to date?"

No one believed it.

Eric felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

Did his friends think that he deserved to be single for the rest of his life?

Eric somewhat regretted that he promised Selena not to disclose their relationship last night.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Eric answered the call.

However, Selena hung up at that second.

Everyone was speechless.

Hehe...

Eric pursed his lips and was about to call back when Selena called again.

It was no more than three seconds after she hung up.

It seemed like she was in a hurry.

Eric exhaled lightly. He did not leave to avoid his friends and answered the call in front of them.

Before he could speak, Selena's hysterical voice came through.

"Eric Ferguson! Calling you a dog is really an insult to man’s best friend. Why are you such an animal? If you dare deny that you didn't deliberately leave the tap on to flood my expensive wooden floor before you left, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it around! You f*cking *sshole! You're really crazy! Do you know how much I lose every day if I close the bar? You should just dig out your stone heart and feed it to the dogs! You're old yet so immature and petty! I f*cking regret sleeping with you! Go to hell!”

After Selena finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving Eric the chance to explain.

Selena turned around and saw Chaz coming in with a mop, planning to wipe away the excess water.

Chaz accidentally overheard her.

He was frightened, 1

Selena glanced at Chaz calmly, made way for him, and sighed.

"When you scold someone, you should be ruthless, and you can't give them a chance to retort!" i

Chaz nodded and could not help but give her a thumbs up.

He thought, 'No wonder she's a boss. She really has a kind of courage that ordinary people don’t have!'

Soon, Eric called back, but Selena hung up right away.

She kept hanging up whenever he called.

After several times, Eric finally got the hint.

On the golf course, Eric’s friends were gaping at him.

"It’s a woman?"

"She slept with you?"

"You just came from her place?"

Everyone chimed in and had countless things they wanted to ask.

This news was better than any gossip in the entertainment industry.

Nicole and Clayton were doing well, so it was impossible for Nicole to be with Eric.

Moreover, it was not at all like Nicole to call and curse at someone.

If it was not Nicole, who else would it be?

Everyone surrounded Eric and stopped playing golf.

Eric put away his phone and pretended to be calm.

However, he figured that Selena must be angry with him because she would not answer his calls.

Although he was anxious, he would never rush over to apologize.

Anyway, it was not the first time she scolded him.

Selena just needed to vent her anger by scolding him.

Eric suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, cleared his throat, and looked at his friends who were gawking at him.

"Wrong number.”

"Who would believe you, Eric? Tell us, what's going on? Did the sun rise from the west today?"

Everyone asked eagerly.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2502-"I don’t want to tell a bunch of bachelors like you anything..."

After Eric finished speaking, he glanced at each of them in disdain, turned around, and walked away.

Everyone thought that Eric was ridiculous. They looked at each other and finally at Keith.

"Haven't you been with him all this time? When did this happen?"

Keith shrugged. "I don't know. I've been busy taking care of my kid lately!"

He was also dumbfounded.

Another person said, "Eric is looking down on us when he has a girlfriend. I already have a girlfriend, but I didn't tell him because I was afraid that he'd be sad. Now he wants to show off?"

"Yeah! I've had a few girlfriends now. If I had known about this, I wouldn't have kept it a secret!"

"He’s such a pain in the *ss. Who is that woman though?"

Everyone was speculating about Eric's girlfriend.

Only Keith kept quiet.

Keith thought that the voice over the phone was quite familiar.

Did he meet her before?

Keith thought about the recent occasions he attended. Eric did not have any female companion by his side. How could this happen...?

Oh, wait.

Chance's birthday.

Keith's expression changed suddenly.

He seemed to have noticed something.

At that time, Keith even teased Eric that Eric had interacted with the woman who looked very similar to Nicole more than a few times. 1

Was it really her?

Was it because she looked like Nicole?

Keith seemed to have glimpsed Eric's secret.

Luckily, everyone did not notice the subtle change in Keith’s expression. Otherwise, his friends would have forced him to tell them.

If he told everyone, it would not be good for Eric.

Keith thought about it and swallowed his words.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric came back earlier than scheduled, and Mitchell heaved a sigh of relief.

Mitchell followed Eric into the office and shut the door.

"The Yeagers have officially taken over the project in the neighboring city. When should we give them that thing?"

Eric gave up the project in the neighboring city not because he thought the Yeager family was pitiful.

Although the person who stabbed him was arrested and did not confess anything and the investigation turned out clean, Eric was still not at ease.

Eric would get his revenge.

Larry did not understand Eric well enough. That was why he dared to take over the project.

Mitchell could even predict how miserable the Yeager family would be in the future.

Eric rubbed the corners of his eyes lightly and said in a cold voice, "Now that they've taken over the project, it's time to let them know how deep the water is."

From the time they started the project, everything seemed to be going well, and the prospects were bright.

After they went deeper, they realized how bad the situation was.

All the funds were locked up as soon as they pumped it in.

That was because of the interests and debts of all parties involved in the project. Thus, they could not operate normally.

Eric originally planned to abandon the project, but Larry voluntarily jumped into this trap, so Eric did not mind letting Larry take it over.

Mitchell immediately understood what Eric meant and went out to do it.

Eric looked at his phone. Except for the call in the morning, there was no other news from Selena.

He clicked into their chat box, thought about it for a moment, and then typed slowly.

[I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to turn the tap off. It wasn't on purpose.]

Selena did not reply.

Eric continued to type. [I will pay for the repairs, and you can stay with me for the time being.] 1

Selena still did not reply.

Perhaps his message had already exposed his purpose.

However, it was too late for Eric to delete the message.

He bit the bullet and continued typing.

[Most people like retail therapy. Why don't you go shopping?]

Selena still did not reply.

It seemed like she was still mad at him.

Eric put down his phone in frustration.

After a while, his phone chimed with a notification.

[Get lost!]

This was enough to vividly express her hatred.

However, Eric smiled in relief because Selena did not block him.

Eric did not realize that the bar he set for himself was already so low.

Yeager Corporation invested almost all of its assets in that project in the neighboring city.

Not only that, but they also borrowed a lot of money from the bank.

They planned to make a huge profit from this project, so they went all out.

However, when they pumped in the money, and the project was actually running, they finally discovered the problems.

The funds were locked up and vanished in just a few days.

It was like pouring a bucket of water into the sea that disappeared without a trace before they could see a splash.

Yeager Corporation was not doing well, and everyone there was suffering.

In the end, someone sent them an anonymous document. It was the project's arrears and the court's order for them to pay the bill. This project owed billions of dollars.

As long as the money went into the project's account, it would be automatically deducted, so the Yeagers' money was long gone.

Not only that, the Yeagers were the people in charge of the project, so they were also responsible for other payments that the project owed.

It was a bottomless pit.

The Yeagers never got their money back. Instead, they owed a lot of money to banks and the court.

When Larry found out about this, he fainted and was taken to the hospital.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric stood on the balcony of his office and looked out the window indifferently.

The wound on his chest was almost fully healed. It had been itchy recently, but he managed to endure it. Last night when he slept with Selena, she accidentally scratched it.

He could still vividly recall that thrilling yet uncomfortable feeling.

Fortunately, someone would pay the price for his injuries.

Eric held a cup of coffee, but he did not drink it.

His face was expressionless when he heard the commotion outside.

It was as if he had expected all of this.

"Mr. Ferguson isn't here. Ms. Yeager, please leave..."

"Get out of the way! I don't believe you. I saw his driver here, so he must still be here! I want to meet him!"

Cindy's voice was anxious, frustrated, and trembling.

She was angry, but she did not dare to show it.

The life and death of the Yeager family were now in Eric's hands.

"Ms. Yeager, if you keep pestering Mr. Ferguson, I have no choice but to call security."

Mitchell's words were a warning, but Cindy could not care less at the moment.

Cindy rushed to Eric's office. Since she was a woman, Mitchell did not dare to touch her, and neither did the others.

She stalked over to the door of Eric's office.

"Eric, I know you're in there!"

Cindy shouted at the top of her lungs, pushed Mitchell aside, and opened the door to enter.

Sure enough, Eric was standing calmly on the balcony, sipping coffee and looking at the scenery. He looked so relaxed.

However, his cold and dark eyes revealed his annoyance at this moment.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2503-Cindy ran over as if she saw her savior.

"Mr. Ferguson..."

Mitchell did not stop Cindy, so he felt guilty.

Mitchell looked at Eric's face, who did not seem angry. He even seemed to be in a good mood.

Cindy's clothes were wrinkled as she pushed her way in. The makeup on her face was also smudged.

At this time, she looked wretched.

Eric glanced at her calmly and condescendingly without any reaction.

"Ms. Yeager, what can I do for you?"

Cindy tried her best to calm herself down.

"There is a problem with that project. It's simply a hole that can't be filled. My father was admitted to the hospital last night, and he's still being resuscitated!"

Eric glanced at her lightly and nodded with regret.

"Oh, then why are you not with him at the hospital? What are you doing here?"

Cindy raised her head abruptly and was surprised by his cold reaction.

"You sold that project to us. Why didn't you say there was a problem with that project? Or did you know that there was a problem with that project, so you deliberately let us take the bait?"

Cindy was more afraid of the latter.

The Yeagers collapsed in an instant like a thatched hut in the storm.

Eric's reaction to Cindy's questioning was indifferent. He was disdainful and not bothered to put up an act.

The unapproachable chill on his face made Cindy shudder.

Cindy tried her best not to show any fear and pretended to be calm.

Eric narrowed his eyes, which were sharp and cold.

He curled his lips, but he was not cynical.

"Ms. Yeager, I didn't force you to buy it. I gave up the project to make it up for you guys. Everyone knows that the prospects are good. Such a situation was unexpected. The market is constantly changing. Profit and loss are about luck and taking risks. You're also aware that I had a hard time back then. I feel sorry for you. I'll ask my assistant to visit Mr. Yeager in the hospital on my behalf."

As Eric spoke, he glanced at Mitchell, who was standing there.

"Send Ms. Yeager back for me."

Mitchell nodded.

Before he touched Cindy, she lashed out.

"Don’t say these high-sounding words. I don't believe that you don’t know anything! Ferguson Corporation has been investigating the project in the neighboring city for so long. How could you not find any problems? You clearly did it on purpose! You deliberately dumped this mess on us!"

At this time, Cindy felt that Eric was the most terrifying person.

Eric never shied away from those underhanded methods to achieve his goal by any means.

Back then, Cindy wanted to marry Eric wholeheartedly.

At this moment, she only felt a wave of fear.

Cindy targeted Chance time and time again, thinking that she had figured out Eric's bottom line.

Eric's reactions were all harmless.

Cindy did not expect Eric to accumulate grudges and take revenge using that project.

Eric pursed his lips and looked indifferent.

"If you think so, I can't help it."

He was like an irresponsible scumbag.

Cindy burst into tears when she saw his stubborn look.

"Mr. Ferguson, please have mercy on us and let us go. Please help us to tide over the difficulties. My father is overwhelmed, and Yeager Corporation is about to declare bankruptcy. We are really doomed!"

Cindy wanted to grab Eric’s arm, but Eric stepped back and kept a distance from her, avoiding her touch.

"Sorry. Ferguson Corporation's funds have been very tight recently. I’m afraid I can’t help you. Moreover, a shareholders ’ meeting is required if we were to help you, and I believe no one else will agree to help.”

Eric found an excuse.

Mitchell was a little surprised to see Eric speaking so gently and patiently.

Cindy looked at him blankly.

"For you, this is nothing but a drop in the bucket..."

Eric interrupted her. "I don't have money. I still have to raise my son and his future stepmother. Sorry."

Cindy gritted her teeth. Seeing that Eric could put up a better act than her, Cindy wiped her tears angrily.

"You did it on purpose. Do you know about what's happening in the neighboring city?"

Cindy stared at him stubbornly and unwillingly.

"Oh, what else do you want?"

Cindy's eyes flickered slightly. She opened her mouth to say something but held back again.

She gritted her teeth and stared at him intently.

"Eric, you will have retribution! You heartless b*stard! You'll receive retribution!"

Her always generous and intellectual image could no longer be maintained.

Eric did not admit it. He did not help and did not care.

He was like a stubborn rock.

Cindy went to Eric's office this time and got nothing.

However, she thought that Eric seemed more suspicious because he was acting like this.

Mitchell finally pulled Cindy out of Eric's office. The bodyguards were waiting outside.

Cindy refused to cooperate, so Mitchell shot the bodyguards a look.

Two tall and big bodyguards carried her out.

Cindy struggled even more because it was so embarrassing to be carried outside.

While she struggled, a black object accidentally fell out of her pocket.

Mitchell’s expression changed, and he stepped forward to pick it up.

Cindy was carried into the elevator, and she did not realize that something fell from her pocket.

Mitchell took the thing to Eric. His expression was solemn.

"It's a voice recorder."

Eric instantly understood why Cindy asked him so directly if he did it.

If Eric admitted it, then Ferguson Corporation would get involved in this project.

Once the Ferguson Corporation was involved in such a scandal, they would be forced to help.

Throughout the conversation, Eric did not slip up.

It seemed that Eric had expected Cindy's move.

Mitchell's throat moved slightly.

"Mr. Ferguson, this..."

Eric glanced at it casually.

He spoke indifferently, "Destroy it. If I knew it would fall out of her pocket, I wouldn't bother to put up that act."

Eric stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples.

Talking so much was really tiring!

Mitchell was speechless.

Eric put down his coffee cup, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

Just as Eric was about to talk about what to do next, he heard a notification alert from his phone.

He immediately looked at it.

Oh, it was just an SMS about a transaction.

Eric looked at the familiar card number. It was the black card he had given to Selena which did not have a spending limit. It was bound to his number, so every purchase she made would be sent to his phone.

He was not at all upset. On the contrary, he had a sense of accomplishment.

Look, Selena would not mistreat herself.

When Eric looked at the details, he saw that the amount spent was $2.50.

Eric thought he misread it.

How could she only spend $2.50 on this card?

Immediately afterward, the text messages came pouring in.

[Transaction amount for $55.00 at XXX.] i

[Transaction amount for $12.00 at XXX.]

[Transaction amount for $18.00 at XXX.]

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2504 -Eric watched his phone motionlessly.

He was still waiting for Selena to spend a bigger sum, but that was it.

He waited for two minutes, but nothing happened.

Eric's face turned dark.

With his unlimited black card, Selena only spent less than $ 100.

To be precise, it was $87.50.

Eric let out a deep breath.

Mitchell heard the notification and did not think that it was from WhatsApp. However, Eric's phone screen was stuck on the spending notification.

"Mr. Ferguson, is your card stolen? Do you want me to contact the bank to deal with it?"

Eric pursed his lips. He really hoped that it was stolen. 1

He would not be so concerned even if Selena spent tens of millions of dollars.

This $87.50 made him depressed.

Did Selena think the card was fake?

Eric raised his hand and motioned for Mitchell to leave.

Then, he called Selena.

Selena did not hang up and answered the call.

"What do you want?"

"What are you doing?"

Eric had to say something.

“I'm shopping!"

Eric was silent for a few seconds.

"What did you buy that you need to swipe my card for something less than $10?"

The card was delivered from the bank. Eric probably did not expect that he would still have the opportunity to use the card for something worth $2.50.

Selena paused.

"Grilled sausage, manicure, milk tea, roasted sweet potato... Why are you questioning me? Can I not buy anything that costs more than $10? I knew that you were petty. Now, you’re calculating such a small sum with me? Fine! I’ll pay you back right away, miser!"

Selena hung up the phone.

In less than ten seconds, she transferred $90 to Eric.

'The extra $2.50 is your interest!"

She was always so sharp-tongued.

Eric sighed speechlessly.

Selena was mad at him again.

Thus, he explained to her via text.

[I didn't ask you to pay me back. I just thought that you spent too little. You can use that card to renovate the bar or buy another bar.]

[Get lost! Hypocrite!] i

This time, she typed an extra word.

Eric was speechless.

After a while, he called back again.

Selena did not answer.

Eric called again.

Just then, Selena picked it up.

"What?'

She said one word.

Eric rubbed his temples. "I’m informing you that the driver will pick you up later. Don't run around."

"Hah! I’m not going with you!"

Eric said, "It might be dangerous recently. Something happened to the Yeagers, so I’m afraid that Cindy might hurt you out of desperation. You'd better be obedient."

Selena finally fell silent, paused, and then said, "Damn it! If it's so dangerous, why did you only tell me now?"

Selena helped Eric to put up an act to deceive Cindy back then.

Now, that act became real. Cindy could find trouble with Selena if she wanted to.

There was a bit of joy in Eric's eyes, i

Eric did not tell her that he had arranged for people to watch her.

"So, stop running around. Follow the driver home after you're done shopping. Oh, pick Chance up from school on the way back. If you want to buy something, you can have it delivered directly to the house."

Selena was not in the mood to shop anymore.

She hung up the phone in a panic and rushed back to the bar.

She wanted to pack up her things quickly and run for her life.

Chaz was quite relieved to see that Selena was going to live with Eric.

He thought that his boss finally figured it out.

"Go on! Feelings are cultivated. When he can't do without you, you can call the shots!"

Chaz encouraged her from the side.

Selena gave Chaz a credit card.

"You can use this money for the renovation. During this period of time, everyone else will have paid time off. But

you'll have to work hard to keep an eye on this place."

Chaz smiled and patted himself.

"No problem. The bar is my home. I love my home, and I love the bar even more!"

Selena smiled. As soon as she packed her things, the driver called.

Chaz carried the luggage downstairs and sent her to the car.

Before she said anything, Chaz waved his hands. "You don't have to rush back!"

Selena was speechless.

The driver was the same person as the one who dropped her off that night.

He looked at Selena with a smile.

"Ms. Nelson, shall we pick up Young Master Chance first?"

"Sure! But doesn't Chance have a dedicated driver?'

Selena was curious.

The driver smiled. "Mr. Ferguson told me that Young Master Chance will be happy to see you pick him up." i

Selena curled her lips.

Eric was using her to make his son happy so that he would be a good person.

What a sneaky person!

Selena nodded. "By the way, is your son feeling better?"

At the mention of this, the driver sighed.

"He's much better thanks to Mr. Ferguson for hiring a well- known international specialist for the surgery. Otherwise, my son's illness couldn’t be cured even if I spent a fortune. My son is gradually getting better."

'That’s good."

Selena did not dare to ask what the illness was. It sounded serious, so the driver might get sad if she asked about it.

When they arrived at the gate of the school, the kids got out of class just in time.

Chance saw Selena and ran over happily.

"Auntie, why did you come to pick me up today?"

"My bar was flooded, so it needs to be renovated. Will you allow me to stay in your house for the time being?"

Chance quickly grabbed her arm and nodded his head.

"Of course! I want you to stay with me forever! We can be together forever!"

Selena could not help but laugh. She thought that Chance was much more likable than Eric.

"Shall we get in the car?"

Chance nodded and looked back.

"Levi, see you tomorrow! Goodbye, Chatty and Fischer..." i

Before he finished speaking, Fischer turned his head away.

Chance did not mind it. "Goodbye!"

Everyone waved at him.

Selena glanced over and saw that Clayton had come to pick them up.

Clayton also saw her. He nodded at her in a modest greeting.

Selena smiled, greeted him, and got into the car.

Clayton watched as Selena and Chance got in the car and left.

He was deep in thought, i

Chatty walked over, held Clayton's hand, and acted spoiled.

"Daddy, why didn't you bring me ice cream?"

Clayton smiled and persuaded her patiently.

"You can only eat ice cream with Mommy's permission. The last time I let you eat two scoops of ice cream, Mommy punished me by forcing me to eat four scoops. Then I had diarrhea all night. Did you forget?'

Chatty looked at him aggrievedly.

"You can't even sacrifice a little bit for me...?" i

Clayton was speechless.

He immediately changed the subject. "Levi, is Chance going to have a new mother?”

Levi was reading a book. When he heard this, he raised his head and thought about it for a moment.

"I haven’t heard about this. Chance likes Aunt Selena, but Uncle Eric doesn’t like her. Uncle Eric likes people who are well-matched to him."

Levi relayed Chance's words in a serious manner.

Clayton shook his head thoughtfully.

He felt that something was wrong!

After a while, Nicole called and urged him.

"Why aren't you guys back yet? Do you want steak tonight?"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2505-Clayton's gaze softened instantly.

"Okay. I'll make it. Or do you want to eat out?"

Nicole hesitated for a moment.

"I'm too tired to eat out, but I think you'll be too tired to cook."

Clayton smiled and motioned for the children to get in the car.

He coaxed Nicole softly on the phone.

"I'm not tired. Besides, we have Chatty and Fischer around. One of them can pour the wine while the other serves the dishes. It's only reasonable for them to do some chores!"

Chatty frowned while Fischer looked at Clayton in disbelief.

They were just props and did not deserve to eat at the table.

Nicole laughed happily.

"Okay! It's a good idea forthem to cultivate some living skills. Hurry home and cook for me. I'm hungry..."

"Okay, wait a while. I'll be home soon."

Clayton smiled and hung up the phone.

The driver took Levi to Grant’s office.

Then, Clayton took the remaining two "props” home.

"If you two behave well tonight, I can suggest to Mommy to give you both ice cream."

Clayton coaxed the children patiently.

Fischer could not help but ask, "Daddy, will your suggestion even work?"

Clayton glanced at him.

"Anyway, it'll work better than yours!"

Ferguson Villa.

The servants moved Selena's suitcase to Eric’s room.

Selena was still talking to Chance in the living room.

She remembered that she had to unpack, so she went upstairs.

Selena thought of staying in a guest room, but she looked around and could not find her suitcase.

Instead, she saw a servant unpacking her things in Eric's dressing room.

Eric had a lot of clothes and accessories, but there was still an empty space reserved for her things.

The clothes that Mitchell bought for her that day were placed in the cabinet opposite.

Selena paused and coughed.

"Actually, you can just put my things in the guest room. I'll clean it up myself."

The servant smiled.

"Don't worry, Ms. Nelson. Mr. Ferguson told me to put away some of the things he seldom uses to leave some space for your things. This dressing room is connected to Mr.

Ferguson's room, so it's more convenient to store your things here."

Selena pursed her lips and thought to herself, 'I don't want to put my things here because they're connected...'

However, she recalled that she had put up an act of being Eric’s lover here in the past. Everyone except Chance probably thought that she and Eric were in a relationship.

Selena did not know how to explain it.

It was not necessary either.

She twitched the corner of her mouth. "Okay. Sorry for the trouble."

After that, Selena went downstairs.

Chance happily took out his snacks to share with Selena.

Selena also became hungry after snacking.

The grilled sausage and milk tea she had in the afternoon did not fill her stomach.

Thus, the two of them went to the kitchen.

"Ms. Nelson, what do you want to eat tonight?"

The servant asked politely.

Selena looked at Chance, who had no opinion. Selena pursed her lips and said, "I want to eat steak."

The servant smiled. "Okay. We have some freshly imported wagyu beef. It's the best grade, and the tender meat is most suitable for steak. It’s a pity that Mr. Ferguson doesn't come back to eat often, so we usually use the beef for stews. Otherwise, they’re thrown away."

The servants did not dare to feed Eric days-old steak.

Selena clicked her tongue.

"How wasteful!"

Selena thought that it was fine if Eric did not come back. That way, she and Chance could be more carefree.

Eric was a busy person.

Who would have thought that Eric would have come back for dinner?

Selena and Chance were sitting at the dining table and were ready to dig in.

When they heard the sound of the car engine, they put down their cutlery.

The servant hurriedly went to make another serving of steak.

Eric strode into the house and glanced at the living room, but no one was there.

Finally, he saw the two people at the dining table staring at each other.

'You're eating?"

Selena pursed her lips and nodded. "Why did you come back so early?"

They were not mentally prepared for Eric to come back so early.

Eric could hear the disapproval in her tone.

He thought about it and endured it.

"I was done with work, so I came back. You're only having steak for dinner? So simple?"

The servant brought out Eric's portion. When she heard this, she was a little flustered.

"Mr. Ferguson, I can make something else if you don’t want to eat steak.”

Eric kept quiet. He was about to nod his head in agreement when Selena said, "Just eat it. This steak is delicious. Think of how this cow died especially for you!"

Eric looked at her with gloomy eyes.

He already provoked her this morning, so he could not get angry at her now. >

He had to be patient.

Thus, Eric sat down and looked at the steak in front of him.

Eric liked to eat steak, but the servants at home certainly did not make it as good as a professional five-star chef.

He was also very particular about steak.

Eric watched as Selena ate. He was waiting for Selena to complain about the steak so that he could order the servant to change the dish.

As a result, Selena ate with gusto.

One-third of the steak was gone in a blink of an eye.

Chance also ate with relish.

Eric suddenly felt that Chance and Selena set the bar way too low for food.

He looked at the steak in front of him with a bitter face.

If he had known earlier, he might as well have eaten outside before coming back.

Selena looked at his bitter face and complained.

"Will you be full after staring at the steak?"

Eric reluctantly picked up the knife and fork.

Chance looked at them and said happily, "Daddy, I'm really happy today! I hope we can eat steak together more often in the future!"

Eric could not help but cast a cold glance at him.

"I think you should be thinking about how to maximize the commercial value of steak."

What did Chance know?

Chance froze for a moment. Then, he lowered his head meekly and did not eat as happily as before.

Selena rolled her eyes at Eric speechlessly.

She secretly cursed at the man a million times and thought that he was an alien.

The steak instantly lost its taste.

After dinner, Chance went back to his room to study while Selena watched TV in the living room out of boredom.

The servants were tactful. There was no matron in the Ferguson family, and Selena was the only woman who received Eric's consent to live in the villa. Thus, they were friendly and respectful toward Selena.

Selena watched TV and replied to Chaz’s comments on the bar's renovation from time to time.

After a while, the servant brought Selena a pudding for dessert.

Selena was flattered. She did not expect to have better treatment than the last time she was here.

The sky was not quite dark yet.

Eric was working in the study.

Some people from the office came to deliver the documents to him and only left the documents at the front door.

The servants received the documents and looked at each other. In the end, Eric called the servants with the internal phone asking Selena to send the documents to him. Hearing this, the servants were relieved.

After all, they dared not look at Ferguson Corporation's documents.

Selena completely ignored Eric and only said "get it yourself" before she hung up the phone.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2506 -Five minutes later, Eric came downstairs by himself. His face was dark and sullen.

Selena lazily nestled on the sofa watching TV. Her body was limp, as if she had no bones. She certainly had no grace.

Eric stood there and blocked her view.

"You didn’t bring me the documents because you want to watch TV?”

In fact, Eric did not want to read the documents. He just wanted to find an excuse for Selena to go upstairs because he could not see her in the living room.

Selena glanced at him speechlessly.

'They’re your company's secret. I'm afraid that you'll kill me if it passes through my hands!"

Eric did not know how Selena could find so many reasons.

He stood there and towered over her with his big and tall body.

"Go upstairs. I want to show you something."

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the documents from the table and went upstairs first.

Selena reluctantly let go of the pillow in her arms and followed him upstairs.

Eric went straight to the study in his bedroom.

Selena also followed him in.

She swept a glance at the table.

The photo that was facing down on the table the last time she was here had already disappeared. There were no other photos on the table. It looked like Eric had put them away. 1

Selena's gaze changed subtly.

After all, Eric was not so stupid as to put a photo of his sweetheart when she was living here.

Eric sat in front of the table and opened the document.

There were some pictures and information on it, which he handed to Selena.

"I just bought these pieces of land. The location is suitable, and the space isn’t small. If you want to open a bar in a new location, it'll be more profitable than your current one. You can take your pick."

Eric was generous mainly because he did not want Selena to hate him for the rest of his life due to the $87.50 credit card spending.

Selena frowned as she looked at it. These were indeed good locations, but she could not afford to buy them.

She put the document back.

"I’m not moving. I'm just renovating the bar."

"I know that the furnishing of your current bar is very old,

and the facilities aren't that great. Instead of patching up that old place, it's better to just move to a new place."

Eric explained how to maximize her benefits.

After all, Eric had more experience than Selena.

Selena took a deep breath. "I don't have any money.

Besides, this is just the land. I still need money to build it."

"I have money."

Eric smiled faintly. "You don't have to worry about money. I’ll get Mitchell to help you supervise the construction. You just need to choose a location."

Selena narrowed her eyes and stared at him to see his expression.

Seeing that she did not speak, Eric wondered what he said to upset her again.

Eric pursed his lips and met her gaze.

Selena withdrew her gaze lightly. Her eyes were frivolous and mocking.

"You may be generous to the women around you, but I feel ashamed to spend someone's money for no reason. How should we describe our relationship? I just think that we get what we need from each other. If I take your money, what's the difference from prostitution? I’m just lucky that I get to charge more. If I take your things, and we break up, I won't even have the right to scold you. After all, the customer is king. How can I scold the king?"

Selena was straightforward, but it sounded harsh to Eric.

She scolded him and even herself.

Eric stared at Selena stiffly for a few seconds. Then, he said in a rough voice, "Don't say that. I didn't mean that."

He suddenly understood why Selena spent less than $100 on his card.

She could pay it back if she spent less.

If she spent more, she could not afford to pay him back.

Selena was always ready to withdraw herself from their relationship.

Although Eric said some cold and harsh words to her back then, he did not mean to undermine her.

If he did not like her, how could he choose her?

Selena looked at him calmly.

"Since you don't mean that, I'll accept your money for the renovation costs. I'm not that sensitive, so we’re even then. In the future, don't give me things out of the blue. I'll ask for it if I need it."

Eric nodded silently.

He suddenly lost interest in reading the documents in front of him.

The two of them were silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Eric's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Eric wanted to hang up, but he thought it would relieve him from the awkward situation now, so he answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Eric, my dad wants to see you. If you still have a conscience, you'll come to the hospital."

Eric quickly realized who this person was.

His eyes turned cold. "Sorry, I'm busy."

"Eric, you're a cold-blooded and heartless b*stard! If my family goes bankrupt, I won’t let you go..."

Eric hung up the phone before Cindy could finish her sentence.

After all, Eric was not so patient with the people who scolded him.

Eric looked up and coughed.

"Someone scolded me."

Selena heard it clearly.

She chuckled lightly with a gleam of light in her eyes.

"Well, you probably deserve it!"

Eric was speechless.

Selena walked out calmly.

Eric settled his heart.

After a while, he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

Selena did not stay in the guest room. No one thought it was strange because she and Eric were a couple.

After taking a shower, Selena did her skincare routine, lay on the bed, and got ready to sleep.

The moment she turned off the lights, the door of the study opened.

Eric only turned on a dim wall lamp and went to the bathroom. Then, he lay down on the bed.

Selena almost fell asleep when she was woken up by the movement.

She was really tired because she had not rested properly for the past two days.

Eric’s bed was big enough. Selena thought that half of the bed was more than enough for one person, so they did not have to cross each other's boundaries to have a good sleep.

As a result, Eric stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side as soon as he got on the bed.

Selena was sleepy. She yawned and pushed him away while she said in a sleepy voice, "I don't want it tonight. I’m exhausted."

The bar was closed, so Selena's biological clock quickly adjusted to a normal person’s schedule.

Eric was not thinking of doing anything at first and only wanted to hug her.

As a result, he felt the urge as soon as Selena opened her mouth.

"You don't want to take my money so that you can continue to scold me, huh?"

Eric found a random reason. He lowered his head to kiss her and tasted her lips.

Then, he parted her lips and teeth with his tongue.

He was domineering yet gentle.

When Selena was almost out of breath, Eric finally moved aside and let her go.

However, Selena put her arms around Eric's neck.

Under the dim wall lamp, her eyes looked more alluring.

Their hearts were pounding, and they were in a daze.

The night breeze blew in as they made love in the bedroom, i

Early the next morning, Eric got up according to his usual biological clock and went to work.

Selena was unaware and slept until noon.

When she got up, she felt sore all over. She sat on the bed and secretly cursed Eric before she dragged her tired body to the bathroom for a shower.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2507 -Unsurprisingly, there was no one else in the house.

Fortunately, Selena had a change of clothes in Eric’s room. When she finished washing up, she went downstairs and found that the servant had just finished cooking.

"Ms. Nelson, it's time to eat."

Selena glanced at the food, which was quite bland. It was just right for her current appetite.

"Mr. Ferguson said that it's not safe outside for the time being, so he asked you to rest at home. If you really want to go out, you can get someone to follow you..."

The servant smiled.

Selena thought of the Yeager family.

She twitched her lips. "It's alright. I won't run around. I cherish my life more than him."

Selena was full after having the oatmeal.

However, it was too boring at home.

She took out her phone and wanted to browse the internet.

As a result, Chaz called.

"Boss, you’ve gone viral! You're done for!"

Selena frowned. 'You're done for!"

Chaz spoke incoherently and sounded anxious.

"Boss, someone posted about you and Mr. Ferguson, and now everyone is talking about you. The comments are getting pretty ugly..."

Selena’s face changed slightly, and she immediately hung up the phone.

She was inexplicably flustered.

When she opened the news, the headlines were all about Eric and her.

The photo was from that night when Eric came to look for her. Selena was about to leave, but he grabbed her hand.

The photo looked candid, and the background was a little blurry.

However, their faces were clear.

The lighting and shadows of the photo were nice.

Eric sat there. He was big and tall, and his chiseled face was stern and cold. His eyes were indifferent.

His big hand grasped Selena's delicate wrist, which was a sharp contrast.

Selena tilted her head slightly, showing her exquisite side profile and her slender neck. Her beautiful face left a strong impression on people.

This photo of Selena was even more dreamy than the previous short film in which Selena became popular.

There were all kinds of comments on that post.

[OMG! They clearly have a thing between them!]

[How could these two people end up together?]

[Mr. Ferguson looks like he's going to eat her!]

[I thought Mr. Ferguson was in love with our Goddess Nicole, but now he's looking for another woman! Men are vile creatures!] i

[Mr. Ferguson’s little lover... The two of them must've been hooking up for a long time. Sometimes, you can see them flirting with their eyes when you go to the bar.]

[She's Mr. Ferguson's woman? If she wants to make a debut, she can just say it. Why hide it? She can just be the female lead!]

[Rich men like to bed actresses. They're all the same. This actress hasn’t even debuted yet. I liked her at first, but I guess she’s just the same as the other actresses.]

[She works in a bar. How innocent can she be?]

[Turns out she's an escort too. I guess she only became popular some time ago because of her sugar daddy, huh?]

[The bar is closed now. Is she guilty?] i

The public opinion was mixed.

Everyone suspected that Eric and Selena had an indecent

relationship. They thought that she was an escort that sold her body in exchange for glory.

Chaz messaged Selena.

[Luckily, we closed the bar for renovation. Otherwise, these people would’ve flooded in here to curse at you. Now, they all suspect that your relationship with Mr. Ferguson is improper. How strange! You're both single, so why can't you be together?] 1

[Forget it. Don't come back for the time being. Don't show up here. Get Mr. Ferguson to remove the headlines! He must have a way to do it.]

Selena turned off her phone. Her expression was a little glum.

She glanced at the timestamp. This hot topic was posted at 7:50 am. It was almost 11:00 am at this moment. '

The gossip online was spreading, but no one cared to do anything about it.

In other words, Eric could have removed it a long time ago, but he did not.

Selena felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart, which felt like it was strangled by a thin thread. It hurt so much.

How would they define their relationship?

In the eyes of outsiders, they were not well-matched or suitable for each other.

He was out of her league.

She was just a cheap mistress that Eric kept on the side.

That was because Eric's wife must have a good education and come from a well-matched family.

Selena had neither of those.

What was the difference between Selena and those D-list models who were part-time escorts?

If it was not for vanity, why would Selena be with Eric?

Thus, Selena was constantly alert and rational.

When those people criticized her, she did not even have the strength to explain.

Eric just pushed her out and let her face it by herself.

Selena told him that she did not want to rely on him, so she would be contradicting herself if she turned to beg him now.

She felt flustered and uneasy.

It was not because of a guilty conscience, but because her situation was difficult to explain.

Selena suddenly understood why some people who went viral online would commit suicide.

That was because no matter how they explained themselves, the public would only believe what they wanted to.

She felt like she was struck by lightning, and there was nowhere to hide.

Selena did not want to be favored. She did not even hope to be in a normal relationship.

But was it so difficult for Eric to protect her?

Selena took a deep breath.

She was helpless.

Selena stared at Eric’s number on her phone and hesitated for a long time, but she did not call him.

A few minutes later, her phone rang.

It was not Eric.

Selena picked up the call and pretended to be calm. "Hello?"

"Ms. Nelson, it's me, Julie Nixon."

"Hello, Ms. Nixon."

Julie paused.

"I'm on the set, and I just saw what happened online. It just so happens that Nicole is with me. The short clip that was released before might have been over-marketed, so everyone pays special attention to you. It's our fault for not being thoughtful about this. I discussed it with Nicole. We contacted some people to remove the headlines and published a statement to explain that you were just a guest star. If you're wary, we can cut out your clip. In fact, this kind of gossip isn't difficult to explain. After we post the statement, you can repost it and write a few words saying that it's your personal affairs."

Julie turned to look at Nicole, who nodded accordingly, i

Selena was silent for a few seconds. Her eyes suddenly blurred.

She only had a few meals with Julie and Nicole, yet at this time, Julie and Nicole were the first to call her to offer their help.

For a while, Selena had mixed feelings.

Perhaps the person who really wanted to help Selena was Nicole.

However, since the man involved in the hot topic was Eric, Nicole could not come forward by herself. So, Nicole asked Julie to get in touch with Selena.

Selena understood their kindness, but she did not know what to say.

She took a deep breath.

‘Thank you, Ms. Nixon. Please help me thank Ms. Stanton as well. If the clip is necessary to the show, you don't need to cut the clip. If it affects you, then you can deal with it as you like. It would be great if you could withdraw the hot topic for me. I'll also attach my statement when I repost your statement."

Julie let out a sigh of relief.

"Sure, Ms. Nelson. Don't worry about this. It's not a big deal. You attracted so much attention because you’re just too beautiful!"

Selena laughed and felt a warm sensation in her heart. 'Thanks."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2508-Nicole could not help but said over the phone, "Let’s go out for a meal when you're free! Don't close your bar for too long!"

Selena laughed and said, "Don't worry. My bar was flooded, so it's under renovation. It’ll open in less than a month."

"Great!"

They hung up the phone, and Selena took a deep breath.

The boulder that fell on her heart was moved aside, and she instantly felt relaxed.

Selena waited for a few minutes. Soon, the hot topic online lost its traction.

In less than half an hour, it disappeared.

In this world, only women were reliable.

Girls help each other. 1

Julie posted the short clip of the show and added the caption, 'Thanks, Selena, for helping us to perform this clip for free. I hope the public doesn't bother Selena because she's not a part of showbiz."

Everyone was still wondering why the hot topic was withdrawn so quickly when Julie released that statement in the name of the company. It silenced those who suspected that Selena was using Eric to gain popularity.

Selena immediately forwarded the post and wrote, "I don't dare to dream of the unattainable."

The public opinion changed in an instant.

[Julie and Nicole are good friends. If they explained on behalf of Selena, it means that Selena isn’t an indecent person!]

[This lady is quite frank. She must have been wrongly accused.]

[I thought that Mr. Ferguson's affection for Nicole isn't real. But Mr. Ferguson didn't say a word about this!]

[That photo might have been doctored or taken from an angle. Besides, Selena is the owner of the bar, so it's normal for her to greet important guests!]

[Who doesn't go to the bar to have fun after work? I used to work near the bar. Selena is very gentle and nice. Everyone likes to hang out there!]

[I have to say that the bar is very clean and proper. They don’t have escorts or promoters. Otherwise, they would’ve been investigated long ago.]

[Selena never refuses to take a photo with us. She looks much better in person too! This photo must have been deliberately taken to ride on her popularity.]

Seeing that everyone's remarks finally stopped being so critical, Selena felt at ease.

It was really a world of difference!

Selena relaxed, but she also felt upset.

Thus, she went to change and planned to go for a walk nearby to take a breather.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric was in a conference early in the morning. It was highly confidential, so he could not bring his phone with him.

Mitchell was also anxious and helpless while waiting for Eric outside.

Eric did not come out until noon.

The organizer also invited Eric to a lunch reception.

When Eric noticed Mitchell's gaze, he politely declined the invitation.

In the car, Mitchell showed Eric all the screenshots of the comments just now.

"Mr. Ferguson, something big happened in the morning.

Someone photographed you and Ms. Nelson together and exposed your affair. There are also a lot of comments below!"

Eric glanced at it. His brows knitted up, and he finally threw the tablet aside.

‘Why do I have to explain to the public who I'm with?"

"That’s what I think, but I guess since you're considered a public figure, many people would pay attention to you. I just

found out slightly before you. Fortunately, Ms. Stanton asked Ms. Nixon to help clarify this. Ms. Nelson also explained it herself, so the matter was resolved."

When Eric heard Nicole's name, his expression fluctuated slightly.

It was fleeting.

Eric picked up the tablet. "Let me see how Selena explained it. How does she have experience in dealing with such

things? In the future, let the public relations department..."

When Eric saw the sentence that Selena posted, he felt a tingle in his heart.

He held back his words.

There was an eerie silence in the car.

"I don't dare to dream of the unattainable..."

Mitchell naturally knew what Selena said.

There was no other way to solve this besides denying their relationship. How could she admit it?

Even if they wanted to admit it, Selena should not take the initiative because it would just backfire.

Selena would be humiliated if Eric did not want to admit their relationship.

Even if he wanted to admit it, he had already missed the opportunity.

The PR department did not know about Eric's private affairs, so they did not dare to clarify without his permission.

Thus, Selena had no choice but to face it by herself.

Fortunately, she made it through.

Eric threw the tablet aside.

His face was extremely glum.

Eric knew that their relationship should not be exposed to the public. He had also agreed not to let anyone know.

Now was not the best time to announce it.

Without full preparation, the public opinion could easily get out of control.

However, Eric felt indescribably awkward and angry when he saw Selena’s denial.

The denial was so straightforward.

Eric pursed his lips and glanced out of the window sullenly.

"Did you find out who posted it?"

"Yes. According to the IP address, it’s a young actor who just returned to Mediania and made his debut. You've seen him before."

Mitchell would not fall behind in this regard.

He had already investigated this matter clearly.

Eric glanced at the photo and squinted his eyes, which were dark and deep.

"Since you found him, sue him for defamation and kick him out of showbiz." i

Eric's voice was cold.

The actor in the photo was the guy who struck up a conversation with him in the bar, right?

It was the guy who wanted to drink for free and called him an old man.

Hah!

'Yes, sir."

Mitchell was not surprised by this.

Eric had not been the subject of discussion on the internet for a long time. It was mostly due to his harsh tactics, which scared away the major media platforms.

However, this young actor was unaware of who he had offended because he grew up abroad and went to a third- rate university.

The actor even dared to post this picture on a platform registered with his real name.

This actor wanted to take advantage of Selena's popularity. Unexpectedly, he hit the wall and offended Eric instead.

The actor probably did not look into who Eric was. Otherwise, how could he be so bold? 1

Eric rubbed his temples and looked at his phone.

It was very quiet.

There were no other messages or phone calls.

Eric looked up at Mitchell.

"Did she call you?"

Mitchell was taken aback and immediately realized who Eric was referring to. "No. Ms. Nelson never looked for me."

Eric fell silent.

Mitchell coughed. "Ms. Nelson didn't call you maybe because Ms. Stanton helped to solve it."

Eric's voice was rough and hoarse.

"She didn't even look for me for such a big matter."

He felt useless!

"Go back to the villa."

His voice was deep.

Mitchell pursed his lips and felt that the relationship between Eric and Selena was really strange.

Selena was living with Eric, but the two of them did not look like a loving couple.

On the contrary, they deliberately concealed their relationship and did not want others to know.

Any other woman would have been so anxious that she would go straight to Ferguson Corporation to make a fuss.

However, Selena did not do so.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2509 -Selena’s calmness made Eric feel uneasy, distant, and even a little cold.

Eric returned to the villa.

The servant looked at him with worry. "Ms. Ferguson, you're back."

"Where is she?"

Eric's voice was deep, and his face was sharp.

The servant paused. "Ms. Nelson said that she ate too much and wanted to go out for a walk."

Eric's face suddenly sank.

"Didn't I tell you not to let her leave the house?"

The servant was nervous for a moment.

"But Ms. Nelson said she would come back after strolling around."

The servants were in a dilemma. Selena was the future lady boss, so how could they stop her?

Moreover, Selena had legs, and Eric did not tie her up. Even if they wanted to stop her, they could not.

Eric's face darkened.

He picked up his phone to call Selena.

However, he put his phone away when he thought of something.

He chuckled in a low voice and thought that he was being a little ridiculous.

Ever since he learned about what happened online, he had been anxious.

It was obviously a trivial matter. Eric would not make any statement if he were to handle it himself.

So, why did he care so much about Selena's thoughts?

When they decided to be together, Selena was already mentally prepared for this, right?

Eric waved and told the driver to leave first.

The servants stood there awkwardly and did not know what to do for a moment.

It was not until Eric lifted his foot and returned to the study that they breathed a sigh of relief.

No one took the initiative to find Selena and search for her whereabouts.

Thus, Selena only came back when the sky gradually darkened. She held an ice cream in her hand and seemed to be in a very good mood.

The servant looked at her and went over. "Ms. Nelson, dinner is ready. Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Selena paused and touched her stomach.

"I’ve eaten outside. You can eat."

She looked around. "Where's Chance?"

"The young master has extra lessons tonight, so he'll be back later.”

Selena nodded and walked upstairs while eating the ice cream.

Before she reached the top stairs, she saw a shadow in front of her.

Selena looked up blankly.

Eric's expression was gloomy, and he was somewhat unhappy.

"It's so late. You're finally back. Did you forget what I told you before? Do you not care about what the Yeager family might do to you?"

Selena frowned and said indifferently, "I can’t just hide forever. I haven't done anything wrong. Moreover, this won’t be solved in a day or two. I’ll have to go back to the bar eventually!"

Eric's complexion was dark, just like his eyes.

This was clearly not what he wanted to say.

He wanted to talk about what happened during the day and what they cared about most.

After Selena finished speaking, she wanted to walk around him to go upstairs.

As a result, Eric walked in that direction and blocked her way.

The two looked at each other again.

Selena took a bite of the ice cream and gasped when her sensitive teeth felt the biting cold.

She took a few seconds to calm down before she exhaled.

"Is there anything else?"

"You have nothing to tell me?"

Eric asked back.

Selena frowned. "No."

Eric was stunned. His chest felt stuffy.

He felt suffocated.

"Why didn't you call me during the day?"

Eric's voice was hoarse as he said with difficulty.

He felt that he would not be able to solve this problem if he did not speak clearly.

Between him and Selena, he was the one who felt uncomfortable.

Selena glanced at him and smiled meaningfully.

"Oh, were you waiting for me to call you for help?"

Eric was taken aback.

"I was just asking casually. After all, out of so many people who were involved in scandals with me, you're the calmest _... _ •>

one.

Eric simply spoke to hide his panic.

He was flustered when Selena asked him that question.

Was he waiting for her to call him for help?

Selena chuckled lightly.

"If men are reliable, pigs can fly. Look, you can't even solve it."

As she spoke, she took a big step to the side and one step up so that she was the same height as he was.

"But I appreciate your tastes.”

Eric was puzzled.

Selena smiled. "Nicole is a kind-hearted and beautiful person. Although she didn’t contact me directly, I know that she asked Ms. Nixon to help me. I appreciate her kindness. At times like this, she's very reliable!”

As she said that, she turned her head and walked toward the balcony with a smile on her face.

Eric choked. He felt as if his heart had been hit by something, and he could not say a word.

His complexion became glum.

This incident obviously did not hurt Selena, but it hurt him.

The servants made dinner. Eric went downstairs and waited for a while, but Selena did not come down.

The servant said carefully on the side.

"Ms. Nelson said she didn't want to eat."

Eric took a deep breath.

He immediately lost all appetite, so he put down his cutlery and went upstairs.

Selena did not go to the bedroom. Instead, she was basking in the sunset on the small balcony on the second floor.

She looked very relaxed as she slumped on the sofa. An old foreign movie was playing on the iPad in front of her.

She looked so engrossed in it that she did not even notice Eric approaching.

The movie was ending.

Selena was obviously a little invested in the movie as the corners of her eyes were soaked with tears. She was still immersed in the plot just now.

A big hand picked up the iPad, and Eric glanced at the title of the movie.

"Les Miserables”.

Eric looked at Selena with a faint smile. 'You cried?"

"I was moved by a world-famous movie."

With a smile on his face, Eric sat down next to Selena. His voice softened as he said, "Is it not because of what happened today? Do you want me to coax you?"

The sky was getting dark, and all the emotions that could not be revealed to the world seemed to be breaking through at this moment.

Those words that Eric could not utter during the day found their way out at this time.

When he said this, his heart felt warm.

If Selena could pout at him, he might really be able to give her whatever she wanted.

Eric had never seen her pout before.

Selena glanced at him blankly, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said in a cold and soft voice, "I’ll thank you if you f*ck off.”

Eric was speechless.

Selena poured a bucket of cold water on his head and even added some ice cubes for the fun of it.

Eric was unreconciled and did not want to leave.

He bent over and carried Selena with him.

Selena struggled to no avail. She did not want to make too much noise so as to disturb the servants.

She punched Eric’s chest.

"What are you doing?"

Eric pursed his lips and glanced at her.

"I don't know how to f*ck off. Why don't you teach me?"

"Don't be shameless!"

"I don't care. You'll starve to death if you don't eat!"

Selena pointed her toes and smiled.

"Who said I didn't eat? I already ate barbecue when I was outside!"

Eric was speechless.

Was he the only one who was overthinking things all day long?

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2510-Selena did not stay smug for long after eating the barbecue.

After they entered the bedroom, Eric was suddenly interrupted by an urgent call.

When he came back after the phone call, Selena was already curled up on the bed due to a stomach ache. She dared not move.

Eric's complexion changed, and he took a deep breath.

Selena slowly stretched out her hand and looked at him with disappointment.

"Quick, help me! What are you still doing?" i

Eric immediately called the hospital, then he bent down to pick her up and ran outside.

As soon as he went out, he saw the driver had just sent Chance home.

Chance watched in shock as Eric rushed into the car with Selena.

"Aunt Selena, what's wrong with you?"

Eric was anxious and flustered, but he did not forget to use this opportunity to teach his son a lesson.

'This is the consequence of eating junk food!"

Selena was speechless as she thought, 'Damn this b*stard!' However, she was not in the mood to scold him now.

She was sure that she ate something bad.

Eric sped all the way to the hospital. The doctor was ready to rush Selena into the emergency room.

Selena got her stomach pumped.

She looked wretched.

Even if the nurse noticed that Eric and Selena were the main characters in the headlines during the day, they did not dare to show their shock and were very professional.

Eric had been sitting outside. Although he did not say a word, his eyes were fixed on the door of the emergency room from time to time, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed. i

Everyone who passed by looked envious.

It was almost an hour before Selena came out with a pale face.

Selena was pushed to the VIP ward.

The attending physician breathed a sigh of relief.

"She ate some spoiled food and had mild food poisoning. It’s not serious. If you want to sue the restaurant, I will issue a pathology report as evidence."

Eric nodded. "Okay."

He was already furious.

He did not know where Selena went to eat barbecue. He wanted this unethical restaurant to close immediately!

"Okay. She can be discharged after a short observation. But you'll have to wait until the patient wakes up. She might be groggy if you wake her up now."

What the doctor said was simple and clear.

Eric knew that if he woke Selena up at this moment, she would take out all her anger on him. •

He was not a fool.

Thus, the two of them stayed at the hospital overnight.

Eric took a nap on the sofa outside.

It was dawn when Selena woke up.

Aside from her pale lips, Selena's complexion was much better than last night.

Selena opened her eyes, looked at the strange environment, and was in a trance for a moment.

Thinking about what happened last night, Selena suddenly came back to her senses.

Selena got out of bed, went out, and saw Eric, who was lying there. He looked flawless even in his sleep.

Eric had waited for her all night.

It turned out that he was not so heartless after all.

Selena thought they were even now.

She went over and nudged Eric's shoulder. He woke up quickly.

"You’re awake? Are you still feeling sick? Should I call a doctor?"

Selena shook her head and showed a pale smile.

"No need. I’m just a little hungry. Shall we go back?"

Eric immediately sat up and nodded.

"Let's go."

Eric stood up, took her hand, touched her face, and said seriously, "It's a good thing that you feel hungry."

He walked out afterward.

Selena was taken aback. She frowned.

"Did you stay here all night? I'm sorry for wasting your time.”

Eric paused. His face suddenly became a little gloomy.

However, he smiled with restraint and did not lose his temper.

"It's good that you know this. You should learn to be grateful!"

He gave her a meaningful look, held her hand tightly, and then strode out.

Selena did not react at first.

When there were a lot of people, she subconsciously

wanted to pull her hand out lest they get seen by others.

The scandal yesterday was not too big nor too small, but Selena had a glimpse of what it meant to be canceled.

As soon as Selena struggled, Eric clenched her hand even tighter.

He gave her a warning look.

"Don't move around. I won't look for you if you get lost."

Selena curled her lips and suddenly felt that his cold expression was not so annoying anymore.

Perhaps she had never found him annoying.

Eric was just sharp-tongued, but he had a kind and soft heart.

The discomfort in Selena's heart from yesterday eased.

The two of them got into the elevator and stood side by side.

No one was around.

Eric suddenly thought of something. "Where did you go to eat barbecue yesterday? The test report came out. You got food poisoning because of spoiled ingredients. Should I get a lawyer for you?"

Selena frowned and paused.

"No. If you sue them, they will go out of business! It's just a food truck. I was just unlucky."

After all, her mood greatly improved after eating at that food truck.

The couple that ran the food truck did not look vicious either.

Something probably went wrong with their ingredients during shipment.

Eric glanced at her in disapproval.

However, he did not say anything. After all, Selena would not listen to him.

Back at the villa, Chance was still at home.

Eric looked at him with displeasure. "Why didn't you go to school?"

Chance glanced at Selena carefully.

"I was worried about Aunt Selena, so I called the teacher for a day off."

Selena did not bring her phone, and Chance did not dare to call Eric to ask about Selena's condition.

Thus, he just stayed at home and waited.

Seeing that Selena was back, Chance felt relieved.

Selena touched Chance's small face and felt very emotional.

"Our little Chance is the best! I recovered quickly because of your concern!"

Chance blushed and smiled happily.

Eric sneered from the side. "Why, are you going to start discussing metaphysics with him now?"

Eric stayed there all night, but Selena did not say anything nice to him.

She even gave all the credit to that brat? i

How ridiculous!

However, Selena had indeed recovered quickly.

Eric was busy with Selena and did not get to settle his work last night, which caused the affairs abroad to escalate.

Thus, he had to go abroad to deal with it in person.

Thus, Selena stayed alone in the villa for two days without doing anything productive.

The servants were very considerate and cooked according to her preferences.

After a few days of interaction, the servants were no longer as afraid of Selena.

As long as they did not offend her, Selena was an easygoing person. She would not find fault with them on purpose, nor would she belittle them.

The gossip online subsided, and the bar’s renovation was as scheduled.

Thus, Selena went to the bar to check it out.

She stayed in the bar all day and discussed interior design with Chaz.
