Ch. 2521..2530

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2521 -The mystery of this woman aroused many people's interest.

The auction was over.

Eric asked Mitchell to put the things into the car while he and Selena went outside to wait.

He was holding Selena's hand the entire time, interlocking fingers with her.

This intimate action was more difficult to explain than Selena holding Eric’s arm.

However, Eric did not care about what others thought and was indifferent.

"Do you want to get in the car first?"

Eric looked at Selena sideways. After all, he did not want her to stand in the wind.

Selena smiled. The man next to her had a faint scent. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, "Wait a minute. Someone may be looking for you."

Eric was startled. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a woman's gentle and soft voice behind him.

"Mr. Ferguson..."

Eric gave Selena a meaningful look and subconsciously smiled.

"Someone's jealous.” i

Something seemed to burst through his heart. Fresh air poured in, and his emotions fluctuated. However, he did not realize it.

Eric just felt elated.

Thus, he did not have much patience for CK Corporation's Taylor Caldwell, who caught upto him.

Since Ferguson Corporation's plan was to cooperate with CK Corporation, Eric did not drive Taylor away. Instead, he was a gentleman and calmly watched as she walked over.

Taylor looked at Eric and Selena and smiled gently and generously.

"Fortunately, I caught you in time, Mr. Ferguson. I'd like your phone number so that it'll be more convenient to contact you in the future as I will be in charge of our cooperation."

When Eric looked at her, his expression was as calm as water.

'Til get Mitchell to contact you."

Taylor heard his avoidance, glanced lightly at Selena, and smiled slightly.

"It seems that I'm still not important enough to contact you directly, Mr. Ferguson. I can only ask my father to contact you then."

Eric frowned slightly. When he looked at Taylor again, he realized her identity.

Taylor was the daughter of CK Corporation's CEO. It was somewhat unexpected that she would be personally handling this cooperation.

It looked like CK Corporation was starting to go through some internal restructuring.

This was the problem that Eric thought of instantly.

However, he did not ask Taylor any more questions. He just took out a business card from his breast pocket and handed it over.

"It's not a matter of importance. My phone is often unreachable, so it'll be faster to contact me through Mitchell."

Taylor took the business card with both hands. "Sure. I'll try."

She nodded and gave Selena a polite nod. Then, she walked down the stairs and got into a luxury car.

Eric thought about it for a few seconds. His gaze followed her into the car.

The internal restructuring of CK Corporation meant that the situation was unstable. Eric thought that he needed to discuss with his staff whether this cooperation should continue.

Selena looked at his sharp side profile. His suit was neat and clean. Standing in the crowd, Eric was always the focal point.

'What are you looking at? Why don't you just chase after her?”

Her voice was soft and mocking.

Eric was taken aback for a moment. When he looked down at her, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Who am I looking at? Haven't I been looking at you this whole time?”

He put his hand on her shoulder and tried to get closer to kiss her cheek, but she pushed him away and walked down the steps.

The driver just arrived at the entrance.

Selena opened the door, got into the car, and closed the door.

Eric smiled helplessly. He liked that Selena was jealous and thought that he would bring her to this kind of occasion more often. 1

He had to go around to the other side to get into the car.

Mitchell happened to have someone take out the auction items and move them to another car, which would be escorted by the auction organizer.

The driver was in front and raised the privacy barrier.

Selena looked sideways at the busy traffic outside. The lights were flickering, but she seemed to be staring out into an open space. Her surroundings were dead silent and empty.

Eric answered the phone and talked business as usual, so he did not notice her changes for a moment.

Even if he noticed, he just thought that she was still jealous.

It was good that she was jealous. It showed that she cared about him more.

This was what he wanted.

Jealousy in a relationship should be the catalyst for more sweetness.

At least, that was what he thought.

Eric hung up the phone when they arrived at the lobby of a new property.

Selena recognized this place because it was widely advertised before. The location was excellent, and the environment was nice. Of course, it was also very expensive.

Eric touched her neck.

"Let's get off.”

Selena got out of the car and stood there blankly.

She was puzzled.

Eric looked at her with dark eyes, took her hand, and walked inside.

"I didn't give you any proper gifts for Valentine's Day yesterday. You used to live in the bar, which would affect your sleep. I bought this for you a long time ago, but the handover was done recently. Although it's convenient for you to live in the villa, it's not conducive to our privacy. That brat, Chance, is really an eyesore. If you want, you can visit him at the villa from time to time. We can live here in the future. Go in and see if you like the decor

inside."

He especially found a famous foreign designer to design the place and changed the drawings countless times.

Eric’s voice was mellow as it rippled in her ears.

Selena could not bear to reject him.

Eric held Selena's hand and registered her fingerprint. The moment she entered, the bright lights in front of her stunned her for a moment.

The temperature inside was just nice, and the furnishings were simple but elegant.

It was not the minimalist black, white, and gray style that men like. Instead, it contained a lot of feminine touches and aesthetics.

Selena felt a strong sense of belonging and dependence as soon as she entered.

If she really moved in her, she was afraid it would be even more difficult to move out.

What was in front of her was not a house, but a trap laid by Eric.

Eric hugged her from behind and kissed her hair and neck lightly. The moment she was surrounded by his warm breath, her mind trembled for a moment.

She was shaken.

In fact, it was fine to play dumb for the rest of her life.

Selena did not need his whole heart. She only needed him to give her a pampered future and the illusion of love.

However, this would only work if she did not give him her heart.

If so, this act could last a lifetime.

However, Selena's heart was like a swollen sponge that seemed to be bursting through her chest.

Her face, which was illuminated by the light, was a little pale.

Eric lowered his head to kiss her, but she dodged her head sideways.

He pinched her chin and gave her a long kiss before he let go in satisfaction.

Although he wanted to take her right then and there, he wanted to see her amazement when she looked around the house.

Only then would his painstaking efforts not be in vain.

Selena carefully looked at every room.

There was even a picture of her on the bedroom table.

Selena suddenly thought of the photo that Eric hid in the study of the villa and subconsciously smiled.

Eric brushed her hair.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?”

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2522 - Strong Jealousy

Selena turned around and suddenly hugged his lean waist. She was languid and coquettish.

"Of course, I'm satisfied. I’m starting to discover more advantages in you."

Just as Eric was about to laugh, Selena let go of him, raised her head, and asked solemnly.

"But is the deed to this house in my name?"

Eric paused. "My subordinates got it done for me. If you want it in your name, we can go through the formalities tomorrow."

He did not think much about it.

What did it matter whose name it was?

Selena said, "Forget it. I don't dare to take it if you give it away for free. Don’t give me any property in the future since it's not easily liquidated. Just give me money."

Eric was taken aback for a moment. He looked down at her and chuckled softly.

"Do you really not have enough money? Didn't I give you my credit card?"

Selena walked into the bedroom indifferently and sat on the bed.

"I don’t feel comfortable spending with the credit card you gave me. In the future, just transfer money to my account regularly. That way, our relationship will be simple and burden-free."

Eric was initially smiling, but when he saw her eyes, his smile gradually faded.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

He looked at her with dark and deep eyes and suddenly smiled again.

"Are you still upset because of tonight? Taylor is just a business partner. You know that I didn't say much to her. Why are you so jealous?"

Selena raised her eyes to look at him. Her eyes were gentle and calm.

"The bar's renovation will be done in a few days. It’ll be more suitable for me to live there.”

Eric's eyes darkened. "You won’t have a good rest."

"I'm well rested. I sleep soundly when I’m sleeping on my own turf.”

Eric took a deep breath. "Okay. I'll get someone to change the deed into your name tomorrow. This will also be your turf from now on."

It was rare for Eric to coax a woman with such a gentle tone.

He walked over, sat next to her, put one arm around her waist, and gently kissed her cheek. His eyes were dark and solemn.

"Stop talking about making our relationship simple. Is our relationship simple?"

Eric did not want Selena to think that their relationship was just transactional.

He had invested so much energy and thought into it, which could not be equated with money.

He would give her whatever she wanted.

He also gave her his credit card.

It was not a vulgar relationship where he gave her money regularly every month.

Selena leaned meekly against his body and sighed softly.

Eric was overjoyed. He noticed her change and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her say, "Eric, have you ever thought about marrying me?"

After she said that, the room fell silent again.

Eric’s body was stiff, and he did not answer.

His silence was the answer.

Selena smiled, got up from the bed, and walked out.

Feeling empty, Eric walked over abruptly and grabbed her.

"Where are you going?"

He realized that his tone was a little too aggressive, so he immediately softened his voice.

"Selena, why did you suddenly think of marriage? Isn’t our relationship now good enough? Marriage is a big event. We’ll need time to adjust and consider it, and the procedures are very complicated. I have been divorced twice, and marriage has been a failure for me. It doesn't mean anything, and I didn’t get to this point because of marriage."

Selena sighed and suddenly felt that her breathing was difficult.

She could not help but sneer. Her heart was throbbing with pain, but she acted nonchalantly.

"Are you drawing a big picture for me? I already listened to Cindy's version today. Do I have to listen to yours too? Do you two take me for a fool? Eric, you're the best manipulator there is. I finally witnessed it myself.”

Eric noticed her attitude. His expression slowly froze and turned cold. His eyes were stern and deep.

"Selena, what’s wrong with you? We didn't get together with the intention of marriage, so why did you bring up this topic all of a sudden? What did Cindy tell you? She’s just provoking you.”

There was tension between them.

Eric keenly noticed that Selena's emotions had something to do with Cindy.

Thus, he figured that Selena mentioned this topic because of Cindy.

Since it was Cindy's instigation, he did not have to worry.

Selena's heart trembled slightly. She suddenly felt that she was powerless to resist a gentle Eric.

"It doesn't matter if it’s instigation or anything else. I stayed with you in the first place because I didn’t have a place to live, and I was a little interested in you. Now that the bar is about to reopen, our relationship should come to an end. Since you haven't thought about marriage, I don't need to invest too much into this relationship. We're adults, so we should be more sensible."

Her voice was cold when she spoke, and she looked at him without blinking or dodging.

Eric's face gradually turned cold.

"Selena, I'll give you another chance. I’ll pretend that I haven’t heard those words, so take them back."

"Eric, don't lie to yourself. How can I take back what I said?"

They were quarreling again.

A moment ago, Eric was secretly happy because they seemed to be getting closer to each other. At this moment, he only felt alienated and defensive.

Selena took a deep breath and interrupted the silence.

"Let's just stop here and leave on a good note. We don’t have to pester each other in the future.”

Selena turned and walked to the door.

Eric did not expect such a situation to happen and was already very upset.

He immediately reached out and pressed on the door. His eyes were a little cold and scrutinizing, and his tone was harsh and irritable.

"Selena, do you think you get the final say in this? Do you think you can just leave like that? Do you think that I don't care about you? Did I treat you badly? Is marriage a decision to be made in a fit of anger? Did you think that if we get married, your past will be uncovered and trampled on repeatedly? What can marriage guarantee? My marriage will shock Ferguson Corporation, so it isn’t child's play, and it certainly can't be done on a whim. Moreover, have we really reached the point where we can get married?"

Eric’s words were like sharp thorns that stabbed Selena’s heart fiercely and accurately.

It hurt a lot.

Selena's face suddenly turned pale, and she could not speak because of the pain.

The joy and love in the past few days were her wishful thinking. She was the only one who thought so.

Selena's past was unsightly, and she was not worthy of being in the same league as Ferguson Corporation. This would have a negative impact on Ferguson Corporation.

She was not a fool and understood all this.

After all, Selena did not deserve Eric.

Cindy was right. Eric would only accept Nicole and other marriage alliances because it was beneficial to him.

He was careful about his feelings and marriage.

Without a sufficient exchange of benefits, Eric would not get married easily.

What was Selena to him?

She was just an accident he encountered halfway and a person who looked like Nicole who could relieve his loneliness.

She was dispensable.

How could she still hope for being in his future?

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2523 -Selena became greedy and wanted more because she had feelings for Eric.

She knew it was unfair to him.

However, she could not control her feelings which were growing like vines in her heart.

She had to stop watering the vines and cut them off as soon as possible.

It was impossible for her to hide her thoughts from being known for the rest of her life.

It was even more impossible to hide her thoughts and stay by his side.

She had to keep the fire in her heart.

Selena took a deep breath and looked at Eric’s changed expression.

Maybe he realized how hurtful the words he blurted out were.

Regret flashed across his eyes as he stared at her and hoped that she would let it go.

Eric’s breathing was labored, and his body was tense.

His body was stiff, and he felt like a prisoner who was unwilling to be sentenced to death.

Selena smiled lightly, and her tone was as sharp as ever.

'You're right. There’s really no need for that. I don't want to marry you, but I’m just unwilling to see that I’m the only one who is investing my feelings while you stay uninvolved. Eric, let me say it one last time. We’re over.

Don't come to me again. If you dare to use underhanded means to force me against my will, I'll expose you to the media that you’re my sugar daddy."

Eric's face froze, and his pupils shrank.

He stared at her extremely beautiful face in shock. His eyes were a bit in denial and wild.

Selena said such harsh words without any fear.

"I’m not afraid. It doesn’t matter to me. At most, the public will just criticize me for being dishonest. But to you and Ferguson Corporation, this is a scandal. It's a scandal worse than your second marriage. I don’t mind dragging you to hell with me since I have nothing to lose."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

Eric stood there. His eyes gradually became cold and gloomy. There was a surge of anger in his chest which seemed to burn him to ashes.

Selena's tenderness and wrath swept away all his emotions in an instant.

This woman was never in his control.

Eric thought that he forced her to come to him back then, but it was actually her initiative.

At this moment, his heart collapsed, and he could not control himself.

The house that was supposed to be a nice surprise turned into a scare.

Eric was not in the mood to stay any longer.

He went downstairs.

The driver was still waiting there, and he looked flustered.

"Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Nelson left just now. But she won't let me send her back."

Eric’s gaze darkened.

"I know. Follow her and see where she goes."

The bar was not done with renovations yet, so she would not go back.

Now that she had just finished arguing with him, she probably would not go back to the villa.

Where would she go then?

Eric frowned and got into the car. The driver drove forward in the direction that he saw Selena go in.

Eric's mind was a mess because of what he blurted out and because of Selena's attitude.

When Mitchell called, Eric was not in the mood to answer it.

The phone rang twice before Eric picked it up.

"Mr. Ferguson, shall I send the auction items to the villa?"

"Whatever."

Eric's voice was gruff. He rubbed his forehead.

Listening to Eric’s tone, Mitchell was silent for a moment.

"Did something happen?"

Eric did not speak.

Mitchell seemed to have expected this result.

Ever since he picked Selena up and heard her question, Mitchell had a feeling that something was wrong.

At last, the bomb dropped.

Mitchell said, "At the reception, I wanted to tell you that Ms. Nelson asked me if Ms. Yeager had been to the company yesterday. I think Ms. Yeager said something to Ms. Nelson that made her feel upset." 1

Eric was irritable, and his blood surged.

"Selena told me what Cindy said. Get the bank to speed up the bankruptcy process. Since they can still spend $500,000 to buy off Selena, it means that they have a lot of money in their private accounts. Get someone to check their accounts and prevent them from transferring their assets. The sooner this is done, the better."

Mitchell responded, Yes, sir. But I think you should talk to Ms. Nelson about this matter." 1

'Talk to her about what?"

Mitchell said, "Did you forget how you answered Ms. Yeager's question before she left? If Cindy saved a recording and told Ms. Nelson about this, what would that make of Ms. Nelson?" 1

Eric only recalled this after Mitchell's reminder.

His chest trembled slightly as if he was struck by something.

He then thought about Selena's sudden mention of marriage.

Everything seemed to be connected.

Suddenly, the fog in his mind cleared up.

Eric hung up the phone and heard the driver in front say excitedly, "I saw Ms. Nelson."

Selena came out of the apartment and walked along the road. She had just walked out of the neighborhood.

Of course, the security around the community was great.

Her back figure looked lonely and bleak when she walked under the street lights.

Her shadow on the ground was elongated, but her footsteps were calm and leisurely, without the slightest hint of sadness and heaviness.

Her pace was also a little brisk.

The driver drove slowly, parallel to Selena.

Eric knocked on the window, and the car stopped.

Selena looked up and naturally saw Eric's car.

She glanced over and looked away.

Eric took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his chest, and said in a low voice, "Selena, get in the car. It’s too dangerous outside. I’ll take you back to the villa first, then we can talk about us.”

Selena did not stop and continued to walk forward.

"Did you not understand what I said? I said that I hate clingy people the most."

"I’m not clingy. I’m just afraid that I’ll get in trouble if you get into an accident out here. Get in the car."

Eric's patience ran out, and he closed the window impatiently.

He waited, but Selena still did not get in the car.

When he opened his eyes again, Selena had already turned a corner and walked away.

Eric was furious. "Catch up to her. What are you still doing here?"

He urged the driver.

The driver paused and narrowed his eyes. "Um... Is that car here to pick up Ms. Nelson?"

A car turned around at the intersection ahead and stopped right next to Selena.

Selena opened the door and got in the car. Then, the man in the driver’s seat poked his head out.

Chaz flashed a tired but brilliant smile.

"Good night, Mr. Ferguson!"

After that, Chaz stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

Eric was so angry that he leaned back and unbuttoned his shirt irritably.

The Yeager family really has a death wish!"

If it was not for Cindy meddling in their affairs, Eric and Selena would never have come to this point. 1

Eric picked up the phone and called Mitchell.

"Forget what I said earlier. I want to see the news of the Yeagers' bankruptcy tomorrow!"

As soon as he said that, he hung up the phone.

In the car, Chaz looked in the rearview mirror and saw the woman behind was still in the mood to tidy up her wind-blown hair.

"Boss, can I ask why you asked me to pick you up at night? You were still flirting with Mr. Ferguson during the day, and now you're giving him the cold shoulder? I don't think Mr. Ferguson is the kind of person who will throw a woman out on the streets and not care about them. Are you being unreasonable with him?"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2524-When Chaz asked this, Selena clicked her tongue.

"Whose side are you on?" 'Yours."

"Stop talking nonsense. Let’s go back to the bar. There's no construction at night, so I can make do with sleeping anywhere."

Selena glanced at the pitch-black night. There was not even a single star. It was empty and suffocating.

Chaz said, "I'll be damned! How can you live in that place with no windows? Forget it. You can stay at my place. My boyfriend is away on a business trip, so he's not at home."

Selena said, "Thank you."

This was what she was waiting for. After all, Chaz was much more reliable than other men.

After Eric calmed down, he felt that he might have been too immersed in this relationship that he was led by the nose by a woman.

They should not be like this. Although he also enjoyed it, the only way to strengthen a relationship was marriage.

Could they get to the point of marriage?

No.

Eric took a deep breath. He never thought that he would marry Selena.

Selena did not meet any of his criteria in all aspects, but he could not help but fall for her.

However, his liking for her was worth the least among the criteria, and it could not influence his decision.

Eric had to look at the big picture.

Thus, Eric decided to leave her be for a few days.

A week later, the bar reopened.

They had a new signboard and new furnishings. Everything was new.

The inside decor was exquisite and lavish. Everyone who came praised them.

Chaz combined all the advantages of the famous bars domestically and abroad and transformed this brand-new bar with the lowest cost.

Selena was really happy because her bedroom occupied the entire top floor. It was more than 200 square meters, and it was all hers.

Although it was not as exquisite and expensive as the house that Eric gave her, this was a pleasant surprise for Selena.

There was a study, a master bedroom, a guest room, and a lounge. The private space upstairs was very complete.

There was a "no entry" sign at the top of the stairs, which was huge and eye-catching.

Chaz also excitedly shared, "I supervised the construction of the private rooms on the second floor by myself. Each room has a different style. There's a youthful style that college students like, a business style that corporate people like, a party style, and many others. Boss, we're going to get rich!"

Selena smiled from ear to ear and stood downstairs, looking up-

She nodded approvingly.

Right.

She was going to get rich!

The first day the bar opened, they did not hype it up, but twice as many people came.

It was probably because they had been closed for too long. Everyone was bored and waited eagerly for the renovation to be completed.

Selena resumed her previous sleep pattern.

She slept during the day and worked at night, and everything slowly got back on the right track.

The old customers recommended new customers to the bar. Coupled with the fact that Selena became popular online some time ago, the bar became an online sensation.

Naturally, Selena forgot about Eric.

She just heard that the Yeager family was unlucky. It seemed that after she left Eric, the Yeager family declared bankruptcy. The bank transferred all of the Yeager family's property, but it was still not enough to repay their debt. They still owed a whole lot of money.

Only the Yeager family's fixed assets and related profits in the company could be auctioned off.

Everyone thought that Eric would take the opportunity to take over Yeager Corporation.

After all, the Yeagers were bankrupt, and everyone thought it was Eric’s doing.

However, it was unexpected that no one would bid for Yeager Corporation even after the bank offered a low price during the auction.

Thus, they could only wait for a lower price in the next auction.

Eric was not interested in taking over this hot potato.

So, the Yeager family's situation took half a month to resolve.

From then on, Yeager Corporation completely faded out of everyone's sight.

However, not all members of the Yeager family were law- abiding citizens. Larry's condition became more serious, and he was basically living in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

Cindy disappeared inexplicably and could not be found. No one knew where she had gone.

At the amusement park, Nicole and Chatty went on the roller coaster a few times. The two of them screamed excitedly.

With lingering fear in his heart, Fischer held an ice cream and raised his head to look at them. Then, he ran up to Clayton and sat down in front of him, swinging his short legs leisurely.

Clayton put a cane next to his hand. Although he did not have to use a cane to walk and was no different from an ordinary person, there were so many people in the amusement park that he was afraid he would lose his balance.

Thus, he felt safer with a walking cane. At least, everyone would stay away from someone holding a cane.

With a smile on his face, Clayton raised his head and looked in the distance. There were a lot of people around them.

Clayton was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, which made him look aloof and elegant. He looked out of place in the noisy crowd, and he exuded a gentle vibe.

Soon, a woman sneaked up to him and repeatedly looked at Clayton.

Finally, she mustered the courage to step forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Sloan?"

Clayton's eyes turned vigilant in an instant as he scrutinized the woman in front of him.

He stared at her for a few seconds and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Who are you..."

The other party breathed a sigh of relief. "My name is Cindy Yeager."

Clayton nodded and pondered for a moment.

"Oh, you're the daughter of the Yeager family that went bankrupt recently, right?"

At the mention of this, Cindy froze. She looked a bit vicious.

"Mr. Sloan, I want to make a deal with you."

Her eyes were cunning and calculating.

Cindy was desperate, so no one could blame her for doing this.

Clayton smiled slowly. His voice was gentle and soft, but also indifferent and distant.

"Ms. Yeager, the Yeager family is bankrupt. I’m afraid we have no chance to cooperate."

"Of course, it's not a business cooperation."

Clayton said, "I don't have any contact with women in private. My wife is very strict."

As he said this, the corners of his eyes were filled with joy, as if this excuse was tried and tested.

Recently, Clayton would use this excuse to leave any banquets or social engagements to ensure that no one would stop him.

Cindy froze for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"It’s about Ms. Stanton. I think you will be interested to hear about it."

As she spoke, she took out a voice recorder.

"Eric, is it only because you love Nicole that you deny we have ever dated?”

Eric replied, "Of course."

The recording ended.

Cindy watched Clayton's reaction with full confidence.

How could a man be so calm if another man coveted his wife?

However, Clayton's face remained expressionless, showing no emotion.

Clayton just raised his eyes slightly. His dark eyes were like a bottomless cold lake. One glance into them made Cindy feel that danger was approaching.

Cindy's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It was like falling into a bottomless pit with no way out.

The little boy next to him widened his eyes and went over to grab Clayton's arm.

"Daddy, I heard Mommy's name just now!"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2525 -What a Good Idea

Cindy glanced at the child next to her in shock. She thought it was someone else's child because according to her investigation, Clayton did not have a son and only had one daughter, who was the apple of his eye.

Clayton patted Fischer’s head and gently told him, “Sit properly. The ice cream is about to melt."

He seemed indifferent as he turned to look at Cindy again.

His voice was faint and light, like smoke.

"Ms. Yeager, what are you trying to do? I'm aware of Mr. Ferguson's affection for my wife. But as far as I know, Mr. Ferguson already has another woman by his side. It's only a matter of time before he starts a new chapter of his life." 1

Cindy slowly pursed her lips and said in a vicious and scheming tone, "This was what he said a few days ago. Even if there are other women around him, it won't stop him from coveting Nicole. Mr. Sloan, you're a man, so you should know that most men's hearts and physical needs can be separated, right?"

Clayton fell silent and looked calm.

Cindy thought that what she said was useful and continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"If Eric doesn't completely give up, who knows what will happen in the future? What if he gets tired of playing with

other women and turns back to Nicole? He'll destroy your relationship. How disgusting is that?" 1

Clayton looked at her calmly with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"So? Are you going to give me some good advice?"

Cindy's eyes curved and flickered.

"Yes. If you kill Eric, it will be over once and for all, right?"

Clayton’s eyes shrank slightly. He was a little surprised by Cindy's viciousness.

He smiled slowly.

"Kill him? Ms. Yeager, you must be joking. We're in public, so I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I'm about to get permanent status in Mediana. I won’t do anything outrageous. My father-in-law is going to introduce me to politics, so don’t scare my kid by saying these words." 2

Clayton slowly touched Fischer’s head.

Fischer was eating ice cream. He was slightly taken aback and nodded solemnly.

"Yeah! Grandpa said we can't do bad things. We must be upright and good people!" 1

Cindy rolled her eyes speechlessly.

She took a deep breath, ignored the child’s words, and continued to speak to Clayton.

"Of course, you don't need to do it, Mr. Sloan. I will do it for you. Anyway, I’m the one who hates him. I just need a chance."

Her eyes had a vicious glint.

"What chance?"

Clayton seemed to understand what she wanted and smiled slightly.

Cindy took a step forward and revealed all her plans.

Clayton listened calmly, without the slightest surprise or shock.

He did not care as if he was just listening to gossip.

Such a reaction caught Cindy off guard.

After a long time, Clayton smiled slowly.

"Ms. Yeager, you're trying to fabricate a car accident, and then you want to use my channel to escape?"

"Yes. Among the people I know, only you have this ability, Mr. Sloan. You don't need to be modest. I understand. If my family wasn't so desperate, I wouldn't have asked you, Mr. Sloan. I want to kill him, but I don't want to drag myself in. I need a way that I can leave safely. This is good for you too, isn't it?”

Cindy's words were tempting.

Clayton squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

The shouts from the passengers on the roller coaster came from the distance.

Clayton still did not understand why Nicole and Chatty were so fond of roller coasters, especially Chatty. She was way too excited.

For a moment, Cindy's words fell on deaf ears.

Seeing his absent-minded face, Cindy immediately became anxious.

"Mr. Sloan!"

Clayton looked over slowly and smiled.

"Okay, I'll help you. I’ll send someone to pick you up when the time comes, but I hope that you can promise not to

reveal your identity. Otherwise, don't expect me to clean up the mess for you."

Cindy looked at him excitedly.

"Don’t worry, I will never implicate you."

Clayton nodded slightly, then waved in the distance.

The two girls ran toward him.

His mood suddenly eased.

Cindy glanced behind. 'Then I'll take my leave first."

She left in a hurry for fear of being noticed.

Cindy knew that Eric's people had been looking for her whereabouts.

Eric knew that Cindy was the one who ordered him to be killed, so he would not let her get away with it.

Cindy would not be careless enough to bet her life on Eric’s kindness.

Was that man merciful?

After walking more than ten meters, she turned her head subconsciously.

Cindy saw that Clayton had already stood up to wipe Nicole's sweat with a handkerchief. He looked so gentle and doting.

Cindy looked with envy.

She was really jealous of such an openly loving relationship.

Cindy suppressed the restlessness in her heart and quickly blended into the crowd.

Nicole watched a figure leave and frowned in confusion.

"Who's that?"

Fischer swung his short legs.

"A bad guy."

Nicole frowned.

Clayton smiled and replied, "Cindy Yeager."

Nicole's eyes widened. "Why is she here?"

How was Cindy still in the mood to come to the amusement park?

Clayton told Nicole what happened just now without hiding anything.

'You agreed to help her?"

Clayton nodded. "If I don't agree to help her, she will definitely think of other methods. Then, she'll be out of control, and maybe actual problems will arise. I will contact Mr. Ferguson in a while so that he can make preparations.

This way, I can help him."

Nicole looked at him with a doubtful smile. She looked around with amazed eyes.

'You want to help him? This isn't at all like you, Mr. Sloan..."

Clayton put his arms around Nicole’s waist and gently wiped her sweat.

"What's like me then? I just want to repay him for saving me before. I won’t add insult to injury. I actually wish him happiness more than anyone else!"

Nicole could not help but laugh out loud.

Clayton said it with a serious face. Nicole could hardly believe him, but he was so sincere that she had to believe him.

Chatty anxiously walked around the adults' legs and stretched out her hands toward Clayton.

"Daddy, it's my turn to get hugs!"

Clayton smiled and looked down at Chatty’s little face.

"Mommy is tired, so I'll hug Mommy first."

Fischer, who was next to them, opened his arms happily.

"I’ll hug you!"

Clayton paused and pulled Fischer back.

'You just finished eating ice cream and haven’t washed your hands."

Fischer was speechless as he thought, 'I thought I washed my hands!'

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric hung up the phone. His eyes turned sharp and cold.

He did not expect Cindy to be so courageous. She did not give up and actually wanted to kill him and run away.

Hah...

However, now Eric owed that sly Clayton a favor for no reason. 1

How annoying!

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2526 -During Eric's spare time, he thought of Selena, who had not shown up for several days.

Selena never contacted him once.

She was really on her own.

Eric took a deep breath and threw the phone on the table. His chest hurt from anger.

He wanted to leave her alone for a few days, but it did not work at all.

Eric looked at the time and saw that it was 5:30 pm.

He went out with his phone and coat.

Mitchell happened to come in with some documents.

"Mr. Ferguson, there will be a video conference later. Where are you going?”

Eric paused and looked at his watch. His eyes were cold.

"It's 5:30 pm. Of course, I'm getting off work. Why do you always arrange overtime work for me?" ’

Mitchell was speechless.

Did Eric mean what he said?

When did the senior management ever get off work on time?

Mitchell was practically living at the office.

Eric turned around without hesitation. "Postpone the meeting until tomorrow."

He went out.

Eric actually left...

Mitchell stood there with his eyes wide open.

Was that even Eric Ferguson?

Although it was not yet 7:00 pm, there were already many customers going into the bar.

Some went to the private rooms, while those downstairs sat in the quiet area and talked.

It did not look like a bar anymore.

It was not noisy. Everyone was just chatting and drinking while listening to songs.

Perhaps it was because it was not yet time for the bustle. Thus, everyone sat idly.

Chaz and several waiters were busy running around.

With her back to the door, Selena sat on a chair at the bar and looked at the drinks bill after the opening.

She had to admit that she was getting more satisfied the more she looked at it.

Although the normal price of drinks increased, they provided a good discount, so it was overall cheaper.

Even so, the bar still made a sizable profit.

Selena was wearing a dark blue dress that outlined her graceful and beautiful figure. Her hair was loosely pulled up, and her eyes were misty. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she had a soft and gentle demeanor.

When Eric walked in, he immediately saw the prettiest woman there — Selena.

His originally calm and somewhat angry heart clenched.

His anger suddenly dissipated.

Eric came to apologize. It would be great if he could say a few nice words to make her come back to him.

Thus, he thought he should apologize because being at odds with her would be a problem.

Selena was someone who preferred persuasion over aggression.

Eric took a deep breath. He felt a little nervous for no reason.

He walked in and approached her slowly.

Selena did not notice the man behind her until Eric sat on the chair next to her and said in a deep voice, "Ahem..."

The words of apology that came to his lips suddenly turned into a cough.

Eric sat there awkwardly, but he managed to attract Selena's attention.

Selena frowned slightly when she saw him. However, she was not surprised. She looked at him as if he was a stranger.

Eric was a little annoyed. "Is this how you treat your customers, Ms. Nelson?"

'This is the price for ordinary customers. VIP customers need to open a tab starting from $300,000..."

Selena said it casually to drive him away.

After all, Eric was not someone who liked to be taken advantage of.

As a result, Selena heard a notification alert a few seconds later.

It seemed that someone had transferred $300,000 into her account.

Selena turned her head sideways. "Are you crazy?"

Eric stretched out a hand to hold the back of her chair and spun it lightly.

The chair turned accordingly.

Selena, who was facing away from Eric, was now facing him.

It was such a smooth and steady move.

Eric looked at her with a smug smile and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm a VIP now. Will you talk to me properly now?"

His eyes were as deep and boundless as the ocean.

Selena paused, crossed her arms, and looked at him indifferently.

"Just spit it out, but don’t do anything below you."

Eric smiled. "Are you still angry? You haven’t even looked at the things you bought at the auction. Should I ask Mitchell to bring them to you? Where should they be placed in your bar? You can treat it as an opening gift from me."

He acted nonchalantly, as if the argument a few days ago had never happened.

Selena scrutinized him.

"Mr. Ferguson, did you take the wrong medication?"

Selena did not want to quarrel with Eric here, lest it affected her business.

However, she really could not understand what this man was thinking.

Eric's smile froze, and he reached out to pat her head.

In the end, she dodged him.

Eric felt apprehensive.

"Selena, don't be mad at me. Can’t we just have a good time together? I have already settled the Yeager family, and Cindy will never appear in front of you again. If you want to disclose our relationship, I have no objections. I'm just afraid that you'll get hurt."

After all, disclosing their relationship would have far less impact on Ferguson Corporation than on Selena.

For someone like Eric, it was normal for him to have a few women around him.

However, everyone’s criticisms would be directed at Selena.

This was the first time Eric coaxed someone in such a humble manner.

He did not try to coerce her.

Selena was in a daze and remained silent for a while.

Was marriage that important?

Selena did not care about it. She was even a little afraid.

However, what she cared about was the unequal and unrequited feelings that she gave him.

Selena raised her head slightly. Her eyes were glistening.

"Eric, do you like me?"

Eric was taken aback for a moment. Then, he smiled calmly.

"If I don't like you, why would I look for you over and over again? I won’t have the patience to deal with anyone else with your temper. Selena, don't be mad at me. Come home with me, okay?"

Selena lowered her eyes. A certain part of her heart softened.

A voice seemed to be telling her to forget it. It was not easy for Eric to take this step, so why should she be so demanding?

In fact, being with him would be a good experience.

Eric still liked her, so her feelings were not wasted.

Selena pondered for a moment. 'You should go back first. I have to think about it."

Eric paused. His goal was not achieved, so he refused to leave so easily.

He smiled, touched her face with one hand, and pinched it lightly.

Eric hinted at her, "Why don't you take me upstairs and show me your new bedroom?"

Selena raised her eyes and glared at him.

"I don’t have time for that."

Eric stood up and smoothened his shirt.

"If you’re busy, I can go upstairs and look around by myself."

After that, he walked upstairs.

When he reached the second floor, he heard the sound of high heels coming from behind.

Eric could not help but laugh.

Selena took a deep breath and whispered from behind.

"Go to the second floor first, then go upstairs from the back of the second floor. That way, no one will see you."

If Eric went straight up to the top floor like this, it would be too easy to spot him.

A single man and woman going up together would inevitably make people guess wildly.

Eric obediently went to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and went upstairs from the right side.

To outsiders, Eric just went into a private room.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2527 -As soon as Eric went upstairs, he was stunned by the brand- new furniture.

He was silent.

The furnishing was much better than before. The several bedrooms were designed to be spacious and bright. The furnishings outside were also unique.

Moreover, the space upstairs was well-insulated. Once he was upstairs, he could not hear what was going on downstairs.

Eric saw the master bedroom and went in. The sound insulation was even better here. The noise would not affect Selena's sleep at all.

He seemed disappointed and distressed.

Selena stood there and said, "Look around then. Go downstairs after you're done."

Eric was silent. He looked up at her.

"Will you consider what I said?"

Selena wanted to dismiss him quickly and nodded perfunctorily.

Eric went to the small balcony of the bedroom and sat there in a rocking chair.

Selena was speechless.

The man said without changing his expression. 'Then you can think about it and follow me back when you've considered. I'll wait for you here if you can't reach a decision."

'You're being a scoundrel!"

Selena looked at him incredulously.

Eric raised his eyebrows and sat there without fear.

His sharp face showed a bit of warmth, and he looked nonchalant.

Selena laughed in exasperation.

She turned around and left, not wanting to continue talking to Eric.

Anyway, he would leave after he gets bored from waiting.

The sky was getting darker. More people were coming to the bar. Some people began to order songs, and the musicians sang slow ballads to start out the night.

Selena regulated her mood and went downstairs to greet the guests.

It was almost 9:00 pm.

Selena figured that Eric should have left.

She was humming a song and sitting on the bar counter to sort out the drinks when a man who drank a little too much wobbled to her.

"Boss, another glass of brandy."

Selena glanced at him and smiled. "I think you can save it for next time. You've had enough to drink. Should I ask your friends or family to take you home?"

It was common for people to create trouble in bars.

Of course, there were quite a few people making trouble at the bar, but Chaz knew martial arts, so he was not afraid.

Moreover, they had 360-degree monitoring without any blind spots.

The man put one hand on Selena's shoulder and exerted some force.

"Don’t worry. Give me another drink. I'll leave after this."

Selena was helpless. She was about to pour him a drink with a slightly lower alcohol content when she suddenly heard him wailing from behind.

She quickly turned back and saw Eric pinching that man's hand. Eric's eyes were cold, vicious, and furious.

The man broke out in cold sweat from the pain.

Selena hurried over to stop him. "Eric, let go of him."

"He's drunk, and he tried to take advantage of you. Don't you know?"

The man’s dirty hands were placed on Selena's shoulders. Eric felt that they were an eyesore.

How dare this man touch his woman?

"He didn’t do it on purpose."

Selena was helpless. That man was just drunk and leaned on her casually. He did not touch her recklessly.

Moreover, that man was a regular. How could Selena have a fall out with him because of this?

Eric gritted his teeth and squeezed hard before he let go.

However, that was enough to make the man sober up completely.

The man was dripping with cold sweat from the pain. Selena calmed down and said, "That's enough. Don’t make a fuss."

Selena frowned.

The man did not dare to settle the score with Eric and ran away.

Eric stared at him coldly for a few seconds before he looked away.

"I’ve helped you to get rid of a hooligan for the second time. There are quite a lot of people like this in the bar. I don't think it's interesting to open the bar."

Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly.

'You don’t think it’s interesting, but I do. I didn't open the bar for you, so you don’t have to worry too much."

Eric stared at her blankly for a few seconds. He said," ungrateful", before he turned around and left.

Selena looked at his back and chuckled lightly.

Eric had such an attitude.

As soon as Eric went out, he saw the man trembling and calling his friends to leave.

Eric walked over, grabbed the man by the collar, and walked forward without hesitation. He turned into the alley in front and threw him against the wall.

Before the man had time to beg for mercy, Eric could not control his anger.

Eric kicked the man, who curled up on the ground in pain.

Eric's gaze was fierce and indifferent.

"You like to take advantage of her, huh? Did you think that she didn't notice? Did you think that I didn’t notice?"

One of the man's hands was placed on Selena’s shoulder while the other hand secretly wandered to touch her chest.

If Eric had not appeared in time, this b*stard would have pretended to "accidentally" bump into Selena. That idiot

Selena would not have discovered this man's dirty tricks either.

Before the man could speak, Eric pressed his head against the wall with one hand. His movements were fierce and merciless.

Eric approached the man to let him see who he was.

"Remember this. If you dare to touch my woman again, I'll kill you."

Eric gritted his teeth and punched the man's lower abdomen. It was a painful blow, but there was absolutely no trace of it.

The man grunted and looked at Eric while in pain. He recognized Eric and could not believe it.

Eric shrugged off his arms, stood up, walked out from the dark alley, and returned to the bar.

He just did not want Selena to see anything bad and did not want to make a scene at her bar.

Eric felt that he had become very thoughtful.

Selena did not expect Eric to return.

She also sang a song with the musicians on stage for the fun of it.

Selena was playing the guitar in her hand. When she saw Eric, she almost played the wrong note.

After the song ended, she came down from the stage and saw Eric standing inside the bar counter, where the bartender was originally standing.

Eric was bartending.

The guests in front of him were all young ladies.

The ladies stared obsessively at the man in front of them.

Eric frowned calmly, finished making three drinks, and pushed the drinks in front of them.

Just as one of them was about to pick up the glass, Eric paused, and tapped his finger on the table.

"Wait a moment."

They looked at him excitedly.

Eric said lightly, "Pay up first. I'm afraid you girls won’t pay because you don't look that old."

The admiration they had just now was swept away in an instant.

The three girls sat there, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hey handsome, why don't you treat us?”

One of them held her face in both hands and looked at him with a fiery gaze.

Eric glanced at her with an expressionless face.

"I can't afford it. Pay up first."

The three of them looked at each other awkwardly.

One of them scanned the payment QR code, rolled her eyes at Eric speechlessly, then left with a drink.

The other two did not give up. One of them asked coquettishly, "Handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"

Eric replied, "My son is about to have a girlfriend."

'You're funny!"

"If you want me to chat, you need to pay extra."

Hearing Eric's words, the remaining two girls quelled the idea of flirting with him.

Everything was about money with Eric.

Was his domineering president look just for show?

What a disappointment!

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2528 -Selena could not help but laugh. She walked over clutching her stomach.

"Mr. Ferguson, when did you learn how to bartend?"

Eric sat there irritably, but he had to endure it.

Hearing what she said, he could only tell the truth.

"I don't. I simply poured some drinks. Anyway, no one can taste the difference after blending the drinks randomly.

Those people obviously don’t know how to taste alcohol.”

Eric felt that the ladies were easy to fool.

Eric made another glass and handed it over.

"This is my treat."

Selena had a specious smile. "Mr. Ferguson, did you forget whose territory this is?"

"It's yours, but I made this drink. Can't I buy you a drink?"

He said it righteously without blushing.

Selena was speechless.

"Mr. Ferguson, you're lucky that you have a good family background."

"If not?"

"You would’ve been beaten to death long ago.” Hearing what she said, Eric could not help but laugh.

It was rare for the two of them to get along so peacefully.

This was the first time they spoke as if nothing had happened between them after their argument. It was much better than the awkwardness just now.

After that, Selena picked up the glass, took a sip, and spit it back out in an instant.

"How much lemon sour did you put in this?"

It was concentrated.

Eric squinted his eyes and looked at the bottle in front of him.

"Half a bottle."

Selena was speechless.

She had a new impression of Eric again. Outside of his career, he accomplished nothing.

Selena drove him out of the bar.

Eric was quite reluctant.

After all, he could stay without spending money if he was behind the bar.

"Why are you back again?"

"Oh, I'm still waiting for you to think about it."

"You’re really..." Selena was a little bit dumbfounded.

Selena did not pay much attention to him all night.

In the end, she still went back with Eric.

They did not reconcile. She just decided to let it go.

Selena also thought it through.

She would just live in a daze for the rest of her life.

As long as she did not expect anything from him, she would not be disappointed.

She would wait until she met her true love, and he would wait until he found a suitable marriage partner.

Then, they would naturally break up.

In their current state, Selena seemed a little unwilling to let go.

She did not want to let her feelings go to waste like this.

Selena wanted to leave when she did not like him anymore.

She should wait until her feelings gradually wear off before breaking up.

Eric was elated. There was a large bouquet of flowers in the back of the car, which was gorgeous.

Selena saw it and just smiled.

"Why? Did the old woman sell flowers again? Did you buy them by chance?"

Eric glanced at her and pinched her cheek.

"I bought it especially for you, okay?"

He had wanted to find an excuse, but her tone did not seem very happy.

Thus, he went all out.

Would it not be more favorable for him to admit his intentions?

Moreover, he noticed that Selena hated dishonesty.

Selena smiled and said nothing, but she seemed very satisfied with the answer.

Eric kept silent about the apartment he prepared for her. After all, he had bad memories of it and did not want to go back there.

Thus, they went straight to the villa.

When Selena got out of the car, the lights in the villa were still lit.

Eric took her hand and went in.

"Are you hungry? Should I get someone to cook something for you?"

Selena said, "Forget it. Don’t bother. I'm not that hungry."

Eric was not in the mood to eat anything either.

He calmly went upstairs to do some work.

When Selena came out of the shower, she noticed that he had already showered in the guest room. At this moment, he was holding his phone to make a call on the balcony. His voice was deep and pleasant.

As soon as she lay down, the man came up behind her.

He fumbled around and kissed her face.

The two of them had an in-depth exchange of bodily fluids. When Selena was half asleep, Eric suddenly woke her up again.

"Selena, I have a question for you.”

'What?"

'What do you like about me?"

Eric spoke quietly, with a hint of anticipation.

He wanted to know what she liked about him and continue to maintain it in the future so that their relationship could last longer.

Selena closed her eyes. She was sleepy and did not know what Eric was thinking.

She did not want to answer him, but he looked like he would not give up until he heard an answer.

Thus, she thought about it seriously and replied, "Maybe your melancholy soul deeply attracted me...”

Eric was speechless.

What the hell was she talking about?

Selena and Eric had just made up.

Thus, Eric paid special attention to Selena's mood.

He placed the property deed on the table early in the morning and went to work.

He did not dare to disturb her sleep.

When Selena got up, she saw the deed on the table and picked it up to have a look.

She paused.

The name on the deed was changed to hers alone.

Eric was really generous.

The location was excellent, so it would definitely appreciate astronomically over the years.

Selena found a drawer and put it away.

She was not that lucky to live in it.

The last few days, she kept her temper in check and did not blackmail Eric with marriage or their relationship.

From time to time, she would even prepare some small gifts for him.

Eric was a little flattered by her change in attitude.

He was also relieved.

Lately, Ferguson Corporation had done a tentative check on CK Corporation and understood the internal restructuring of CK Corporation.

The old chairman wanted to train his new successor. The first candidate was naturally his precious daughter, Taylor Caldwell.

However, Taylor studied art abroad and was more interested in playing the piano and dancing.

Although she was working in the company, there were still many people who doubted her ability.

Therefore, Taylor valued this cooperation with Ferguson Corporation.

This way, Eric did not have to worry that CK Corporation would sabotage them.

Taylor went to Ferguson Corporation several times, but Eric did not see her every time.

However, he could not ignore her.

Fortunately, Taylor valued this cooperation, so no one thought that she had ulterior motives.

Mitchell also went to the reception to pick her up in person. It could be seen how sincere Ferguson Corporation was.

When the cooperation was finalized, Eric also attended the relevant celebration.

Many details were discussed at the banquet.

To his surprise, the old director of CK Corporation placed great expectations on his daughter. He gave her a lot of power, so she could make the final decision on some details without going through him.

However, Eric did not have much of an impression of Taylor.

She would be suppressed sooner or later due to her soft temper.

Taylor was just mediocre. She was not as decisive, shrewd, and capable as Cindy Yeager.

However, this cooperation was beneficial to Ferguson Corporation. Taylor’s straight character also made it more conducive for them to work together.

Everyone drank a lot of wine at the banquet.

When the banquet was over, Eric was waiting for the driver on the side of the road.

The wind blew away the stench of alcohol from his body.

At some point, Taylor arrived next to Eric and smiled with ease.

"Mr. Ferguson, I hope we'll have a pleasant cooperation this time."

Eric tilted his head and nodded lightly.

"Do you need a ride home?"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2529 -"No, thanks. My driver will pick me up."

Taylor smiled.

She could hear that Eric was just asking out of politeness. He did not sincerely want to give her a ride home, so she did not push it.

Eric nodded slightly.

He gave off a cold, stern, and gloomy vibe that made people stay away from him.

However, Taylor clearly saw Eric smiling gently at the woman beside him at the auction last time.

It was not an illusion.

Taylor remembered what her father told her. She was not suitable for business. Now that her father was still around, he could still support her for a while.

However, if he dies in the future, Taylor would not be able to control CK Corporation.

Thus, Taylor needed a confidant. To be precise, she needed a husband who could help her in her career.

Her husband would have to support CK Corporation so that no one would dare to covet it.

Eric was the best choice.

Taylor did not covet his feelings. She did not care how many women Eric had.

She just felt that he was a good catch.

However, her father told her to think carefully.

After all, what happened with the Yeager family was a precedent.

Of course, Taylor was not that stupid.

Taylor and Eric stood together without speaking while waiting fortheir respective drivers.

In the end, Taylor's driver arrived first.

Eric was a polite gentleman, so he went over and opened the car door for her.

Taylor thanked him gently and bent down to get into the car.

However, the hem of her dress was too long, and it got stuck in the crack of the door.

Taylor was about to bend down to get it, but Eric lowered his head and pulled it out.

Under the dim light, the man's side profile was chiseled and handsome as if he was a sculpture. He looked so reserved and restrained.

For some reason, Taylor's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have a different feeling about him.

It was as if she saw the way he smiled at Selena that day.

Taylor nodded lightly and thanked him.

Eric did not say anything. He just closed the door and took a step back.

Just then, Eric's driver arrived, so he turned around and got into his car.

The moon was bright, and the stars were scarce.

On that calm night, something unsettling was brewing.

The photos of Eric with a beautiful woman at the entrance of the hotel and helping her to lift her skirt were exposed.

Even though no one dared to offend Eric, the paparazzi did not want to give up this eye-catching headline.

Thus, the news headlines the next morning were almost all about Eric’s new girlfriend.

Was she also the person who got Eric to carry her purse?

Although the photos taken by a passerby did not fully capture their faces clearly, under the dim street lights, the luxury cars, the beauty, and the exquisite dresses and perfect makeup seemed to create a beautiful image.

Eric still looked aloof and sharp.

Even though he looked cold, he was doing something so down-to-earth. This created a stark contrast that awed the netizens.

The photo was casual yet charming.

A lot of people also speculated about what happened at the hotel. That gossip attracted more attention.

Thus, "Eric's Girlfriend" went viral online.

Later, it was revealed that this beautiful and mysterious woman was the daughter of a certain company, and she went to the hotel to discuss business.

The explanation was simple, but it aroused everyone’s curiosity and caused some misinterpretation.

Taylor and Eric were well-matched in terms of status and looks.

They were a perfect match!

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric watched silently as a group of trolls online speculated about his personal affairs.

He had already informed the platform to reduce traffic, but it would not happen so quickly.

If this was an ordinary woman, Eric could ask the company to issue a statement to clarify the relationship between the two of them.

However, Taylor was currently the liaison between Ferguson Corporation and CK Corporation.

Once he did the clarification, it would cause doubts about the cooperation between the two companies and distort their relationship further. People would make a big fuss, which would affect their cooperation.

It was very tricky.

Mitchell came in with a cup of coffee and saw Eric's glum face.

He was not surprised to see this at all.

During this time, everyone paid extra attention to Eric’s personal affairs.

Mitchell had a bad premonition about it.

"Mr. Ferguson, the popularity is starting to drop. After two hours, the relevant search will be blocked, and it’ll quiet down again."

Eric held his forehead and threw the document in front of him on the table.

"What’s going on? Who took the photo? Which media?"

Mitchell paused and glanced at him.

"It wasn't taken by a reporter. It was taken by two college students who passed by. They took pictures of you and posted them online after seeing you and Ms. Caldwell. They didn't expect it to go viral. The media also made it big. We have already warned the media that forwarded the post. We have also warned the school about these two students... But we really can't do much. They wrote a letter of apology, so that's all we can do for now. If they are working, it'll be easier to deal with them. But the students didn't have ill intentions. They didn't know that it would cause such a big disturbance. After the incident, they regretted it and cried so much at school. The school also interceded for the two

students, so we couldn't pursue the issue. We just reminded them and left."

There was no need to deal with the rest.

Eric took a deep breath and was forced to put up with it.

There was a moment of silence.

Only then did he ask, "Does this have anything to do with CK Corporation?"

Mitchell replied, "No, I checked. No one from CK Corporation was involved in this. When the incident happened, Ms. Caldwell asked CK Corporation's PR department to contact me. They asked if we wanted to clarify the situation, and she said that she would cooperate with us."

Eric nodded and gradually calmed down.

Mitchell continued, 'We have discussed two solutions. The first one is to wait for the heat to subside. Then, the two of you can jointly issue a statement to clarify that it was just a friendly dinner. The second option..."

He paused.

Eric raised his eyes. He looked serious and impatient.

'What?"

"The second solution is based on the cooperation between the two companies. The public relations department found that you and Ms. Caldwell are highly popular online, so they are very optimistic about it. If we can take advantage of this popularity to make the cooperation public before the project is announced, it may be a good opportunity to get more attention."

Mitchell did not continue the rest of his words.

They were just using Eric and Taylor's popularity.

They did not need to date or explain. They did not need to do anything.

They just had to stay silent.

This is the result of the discussion by the PR department.

Mitchell disagreed.

He thought that Eric would not agree either.

After all, Eric and Selena were still together...

"Go for the second option."

Eric suddenly spoke.

Mitchell's eyes widened instantly.

It was unbelievable.

Did he hear Eric correctly?

Eric's face was gloomy. He seemed to be calculating and thinking.

"We can't lose this cooperation. In the future, we need to develop further with CK Corporation. If we cut off ties now, we will be in a passive position."

Mitchell was silent and wanted to say something. "But..."

"Besides, do I need to write a statement with everyone who is in the same frame as me?" i Eric’s tone became cold.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2530-'Tell CK Corporation that if it doesn't affect Ms. Caldwell, we can use the second plan."

Eric took his anger out on the netizens.

Since he did not want to be taken advantage of, he might as well start making money from them.

Mitchell nodded. "Yes, sir."

Eric's decision was based on the company's overall situation. There was nothing to criticize about it.

In the afternoon, the hot topic gradually lost its popularity.

Everyone's interest in Eric's personal affairs gradually died down.

However, just when everyone calmed down, Ferguson Corporation and CK Corporation jointly launched the focus of their cooperation.

For a while, everyone was talking about Eric and Taylor again.

Not only that, some people even made up some romantic short stories about them. Some people also photoshopped their wedding pictures.

However, neither party responded to the relationship.

However, the speculation online was in full swing.

Not only that, the stock prices of Ferguson Corporation and CK Corporation had risen nicely.

The final result of this matter was that both parties got to make a lot of money.

Everyone in Ferguson Corporation was filled with joy and wished that Eric would marry Taylor immediately.

Eric did not have much emotion.

Although he won this battle, he felt a little awkward.

He also felt frustrated and uneasy.

Eric looked at the time.

It was 5:30 pm, time to get off work.

Eric took his things and left.

Mitchell was not surprised by this.

In the car, Eric called the servant, intending to ask about Selena.

He wondered if she was at home, or if he should go to the bar to look for her.

Eric finally understood the source of his uneasiness.

Was it because of Selena?

They had an argument a few days ago. Eric even chose to go ahead with the second plan in a fit of anger, so Selena would definitely misunderstand when she sees it.

Eric had to go back and explain it to her as soon as possible.

The servant picked up the call.

"Ms. Nelson left at noon. She looked fine. She was humming a song and looked to be in a good mood. She said that she was going to the bar first and asked us not to cook steak at night because you don't like it."

Eric raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

Was that really Selena?

However, the servant's vivid description did not seem like a lie.

It was most likely true.

Eric suddenly felt less uneasy and smiled slowly.

Selena knew him well.

Their relationship could withstand any test.

See, Selena would not get jealous because of this small gossip. 1

She was a generous and considerate woman.

If Cindy had not provoked Selena last time, she probably would not have quarreled with him.

It was Cindy's fault, not Selena’s!

Eric took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.

He felt that he could go back to the office and work overtime for a few hours.

However, the driver already understood and drove in the direction of the bar.

The driver seemed to be in a hurry.

It looked like the driver was anxious for him.

Eric was speechless.

When they arrived at the bar, there were not many people.

There was slow cello music playing.

It was beautiful.

Today felt different.

A poker table was placed on the side, and several people were playing mahjong at the moment.

One of them was Selena.

Selena was elegant, and her smile was simply pleasant.

One of the people next to her was Chaz, the other was a musician, and another player was a regular.

Chaz looked at Selena with sympathy from time to time, which earned Selena's glare.

The regular and the musician did not notice.

The regular was a well-known figure in the media. She went to the bar often, so she was also familiar with Selena.

She held her cards while she answered the phone. She could not help but smile. After hanging up the phone, she shared today's events with the group.

"Have you heard about today's hot topic? It's about Eric Ferguson and Taylor Caldwell. Tsk tsk, it's probably true."

Selena put down a card.

That’s great! They look so good together, better than most couples in TV shows. It's a beautiful picture."

Selena sighed and admired the photo. She recalled that photo and thought that Eric did not look like that usually.

Eric looked like a perfect gentleman.

Eric, who was walking to the door, froze immediately when he heard this.

He did not go in immediately, and he had mixed feelings.

The musician opposite Chaz also smiled.

"Yeah! I also think they’re a good match. They're a gorgeous couple and a match made in heaven! Speaking of which, Mr. Ferguson has been to the bar a few times before. Why don't we ask him next time if it's true?"

Selena could not help but laugh.

"Why? Do you want to prepare a wedding gift for him?"

"Boss, Eric won't care about my small gift. I just want to ask how he managed to pursue such a beautiful girl!"

The media person next to him said, "Needless to say, birds of the same feather flock together. Maybe they already have some contact in private. I’ll believe it even if they registered their marriage abroad. There are too many interests involved in the marriage of two corporations, so there's no way they will announce it so simply. If it's handled well, it'll be a strong alliance. If it's not handled well, it can only be kept under wraps."

Selena did not deny it. She smiled as if this had nothing to do with her. 1

"Eric has good tastes. Ms. Caldwell has a better temperament than most women he had been with before. Even I think that she's so beautiful." i

Selena shook her head as if she regretted it.

Chaz was stunned. Selena immediately put down her cards.

"Straight flush! I won! Hahahahaha..."

Chaz said, "You can still laugh?"

Selena glared at him. "Why can't I laugh?"

The media person asked, "Yeah, why can't she laugh? Does Mr. Ferguson come here often? If he's really married, you have to tell me the gossip!"

"Don't worry. I’ll definitely share it with you. If I were Eric, I would also marry someone like Ms. Caldwell!"

Selena said this as if nothing was wrong. She then took away the $10 that she won.

Everyone could not help but tease her to be a money grubber for collecting money so fast.

Soon, more people showed up at the bar, so it was getting inconvenient to continue playing.

Chaz stood up and was ready to put everything away.

As a result, when he raised his eyes, he saw Eric standing at the door with a gloomy face. Chaz wondered what Eric was thinking.

Chaz was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Ferguson, when did you arrive?"

When the group heard this, they looked back.

The media person said in shock, "OMG! Mr. Ferguson really does like to hang out in bars!"

Selena smiled perfunctorily.

Eric glanced coldly at the media person.

The media person realized that she was talking too much and immediately shut up.

Eric glanced at Selena and immediately walked upstairs.

"I have an appointment in the private room."

Selena breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that he would act like they were close in front of everyone.

"Look, Mr. Ferguson still has social engagements after work. He's not here to have fun!"

The musician believed it and nodded in agreement.

Selena looked at Chaz. "Send over two fruit platters to Mr. Ferguson and his friends."
