Ch. 2531..2540

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2531-Chaz said, "Fruits are very expensive now."

If Eric was a scumbag, Chaz did not even want to give Eric a fruit platter.

Selena was speechless.

Eric went into the private room. No one followed him over for a long time.

He sat there, and his face turned darker as time passed.

When he heard what Selena said, Eric kept silent and then reflected on himself.

Did he do something wrong?

Everyone was speculating about his relationship with Taylor, but he did not respond.

Did Selena really trust him?

Or did she not care about him?

Eric's mind was a mess from the time he came to the bar until now.

It was like a tangled ball of threads.

Eric felt anxious.

Why was Selena still not here?

Eric dialed Selena's number, but no one answered.

The next second, someone knocked on the door and came in.

Chaz held a fruit platter and wine while he smiled perfunctorily.

"My boss asked me to send these up. Mr. Ferguson, you can tell me if you need anything.”

"Where is she? Ask her to come up."

Eric suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

The anxiety he felt came rushing back.

Eric could not calm down.

He was desperate to see Selena to know what she thought about the matter.

Did she really think that Eric and Taylor were a good match, that they would get married?

Did she really think Eric and Taylor were already married?

How could he be such a person?

How could Selena calmly say that Eric was a good match for another woman?

Chaz smiled faintly and declined.

"Sorry, Mr. Ferguson. My boss is very busy. You can tell me if you have other requests."

Eric’s eyes darkened. He looked at Chaz coldly.

"What did you say? Did she ask you to say this?"

Chaz took a breath and calmly met Eric's gaze.

"I said it myself, Mr. Ferguson. I supported my boss to be in a relationship with you back then because I thought you would protect her and take care of her. But it seems that I was too naive. If you're not serious about her, please don't hurt her like this."

Chaz really mustered up all his courage to say this.

After all, it was not easy to say these words in front of Eric.

Chaz would have to bear so much pressure to say this!

Eric’s face became tense, and he kept quiet.

Selena really thought that Eric had clients or friends coming, so she did not go upto see him.

Since there were a lot of people at the bar, she helped out and greeted some of her friends.

She forgot everything when she got busy.

Selena sipped on a glass of pomegranate juice slowly.

One of the people behind saw that she looked familiar and walked over to say hello.

"Sis?"

Selena was startled.

At first glance, Selena thought that the man was a stranger. He looked frivolous and mature, but his smile was very friendly.

"We've met before at Chance's birthday party. I’m Keith Ludwig!"

Keith smiled. He did not expect this bar to be Selena's.

"What a coincidence! I came here with my friends."

Selena nodded and did not pay attention to the way he addressed her.

"Are you here to find Mr. Ferguson? He's upstairs at Room 288."

"Ferg is here?"

Keith was a little shocked and could not help but laugh.

"He has been shying away from hanging out with us recently and keeps saying that he's busy. I guess he just wants to spend time with you. We'll go up to him, so we don't need another room."

Selena smiled and nodded.

As soon as Keith turned around, he paused.

"By the way, a lot of Eric's friends are here. Sis, do you want to go up and say hello?"

Selena took a deep breath and maintained her superficial calm and smile.

"Mr. Ludwig, Mr. Ferguson and I aren't in the kind of relationship that you think, so don't call me sis. There are too many people here, so you should watch what you say."

Keith stood there in shock. His face turned red before it paled.

He did not expect it to be mistaken.

Was Eric not with Selena?

Keith's mouth twitched in embarrassment.

"Okay. I’m sorry, Ms. Nelson. Just forget what I said. I'll go up first."

Keith left in a hurry and called his friends to go upstairs.

Selena glanced at him, then turned around and continued to work on her things.

She did not take this episode seriously.

With lingering fear in his heart, Keith led his friends upstairs.

He had a lot of questions.

Many of the people who came today were old friends, and Eric also knew them.

Thus, there was no need to get another private room.

Keith pushed the door open and went in.

He thought that Eric would not be alone and that Eric would at least talk to someone about business.

As a result, Keith found Eric completely alone in the private room.

Eric looked so lonely.

Eric raised his head and watched as a group of people came in.

His face darkened.

He seemed a little upset.

Keith pretended not to notice it and asked everyone to sit down. Then, he called the waiter to order.

He sat next to Eric and said nonchalantly, "Ferg, I asked you out for a get- together, but you kept shirking it off saying that you're busy. What? Are you in the mood to come out for a drink now that the stock price of Ferguson Corporation is soaring today? But I don’t think you're having fun drinking now. Are you alone?"

Eric's face was gloomy. The corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line.

He was upset and did not want to talk.

However, with so many people present, it would be awkward if he kept silent.

The person he wanted to see did not come. Instead, many of those he did not want to see came over.

Eric glanced at Keith lightly and had a weird expression.

"Order whatever you want. Why are you guys here?"

Keith smiled and sat there.

"I followed your tips in investment and made a lot of money, so we came out to celebrate.”

Eric was stunned.

He felt inexplicably upset at the mention of the stock price.

That was because he felt it was better not to earn this money.

Chaz led a waiter to serve them wine. He looked polite and at ease.

However, Eric ignored him.

Eric obviously did not care about Chaz.

Everyone got up to toast with Eric, but Eric was not in the mood, so he just twirled his glass of wine and did not take a sip.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was quickly diverted by other things.

Keith nudged Eric and looked at him sideways.

"What's going on? Something feels off."

"What?"

"I said, something about you feels off. What happened to you and Ms.

Nelson? I thought you two were together the last time we played golf. But just now, when I called her 'sis', she didn't care about me and acted like she’s not familiar with you. If it wasn't her, who was it that called you that day? Was it Taylor? But... Did you know Taylor back then?"

Keith speculated on his own.

He did not even notice that Eric's face had darkened.

Eric's whole body was shrouded in cold air.

Bang!

Eric slammed the cup on the table.

Others did not pay attention, but Keith was taken aback.

Eric immediately stood up and walked out without saying anything.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2532 -Keith looked at the door strangely and thought about it for a few seconds.

Suddenly, he had an epiphany.

Perhaps it was not as Selena said. Eric and Selena probably had an unusual relationship.

Earlier that day, Eric and Taylor's scandal was all over the place.

Any woman would not be able to stand it.

So, was Selena throwing a tantrum just now?

Eric went downstairs and watched as Selena leisurely swayed to the rhythm of the music. She had a smile on her face and was interacting with the people on stage from time to time.

Selena looked to be in a good mood.

Eric gulped. He was indescribably irritated and frustrated.

Immediately, he seemed to have lost his mind as he dragged her out without caring that others were watching them.

Eric dragged Selena to the door.

Selena's resistance was futile. Eric would not listen to anything she said.

She was speechless.

As soon as they went out, Eric relaxed his grip, and Selena took the opportunity to shrug off his hand.

She was afraid that she would be misunderstood when seen together with him for a second.

Eric should think that she was sensible and considerate, but in the end, he was upset.

He had been frustrated for a long time, and his anger had reached a tipping point.

At this moment, Selena said, "What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

"I wanted to ask you that. What happened to you today? Don’t you have anything to ask me?"

Eric stood there with his tall and lean body. He was stern, and he exuded a chill all over his body.

He looked straight at Selena and focused on her.

That way, he could notice even a slight change of expression.

Selena frowned slightly and looked at him strangely.

"What should I ask you? Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush? Also, it’s rude for you to drag me out like this.

Can't you just give me a call first?1’

Speaking of this, Eric got angry.

"I’ve called you so many times! Have you answered?”

His tone was a little anxious.

Selena froze for a moment and touched her pocket.

Then, she realized that she might have left her phone behind the bar.

However, she did not admit defeat.

She said without conceding, "I'm busy at night, so I don't have time to answer the phone. Why didn't you ask someone to come down and pass on a message? Why do you have to drag me out with so much fanfare?”

Fanfare?

Eric clenched his teeth angrily.

Selena just did not want to be associated with him, right?

"I was waiting for you upstairs, but you didn't come to find me. If I don’t come down to look for you, are you planning to ignore me all night?"

Eric spoke bluntly directly in a fit of anger.

However, there was a trace of grievance in his voice.

Selena was stunned. Her eyes turned cold.

She was helpless.

Selena paused. "People pay more attention to you than a movie star. If I approach you, won't people notice that we have an abnormal relationship?"

Eric's face turned pale.

His pupils shrank slightly.

"What do you mean by abnormal? Are you still blaming me for the marriage thing?"

Selena was helpless and could not help but roll her eyes.

She no longer wanted to marry him.

Since the last time they broke up, her expectations for him slowly dropped.

It was not until today when Eric and Taylor were on the hot topic that she suddenly woke up from her dream.

Why did he avoid the topic of marriage with her, but he condoned others talking about his marriage with another woman?

In the end, Eric was just more sober than her.

Sober people would not forget the big picture for the joy of this moment.

Thus, Selena quickly let go of her feelings for him.

Instead of hysterically questioning Eric and demanding an explanation, why not accept the reality and give him her blessings?

Selena stood there and said helplessly, "I didn't mention this topic, so you don't need to mention it either. I didn't throw a tantrum, and I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you.”

Eric felt more irritated by her passive attitude.

It was like punching cotton.

Tonight, he felt inexplicably stuffy.

He was upset.

Eric's face became even more stern.

He looked at her coldly:

"You're saying that you're not throwing a tantrum, huh? Selena, I can explain what happened today."

Eric suppressed his emotions and wanted to explain what happened today.

He did this for the company, so she should understand.

'Taylor and I..."

Just as Eric spoke, a few people suddenly walked out of the bar.

Selena was startled. She quickly took a step back from his side and kept a safe distance from him as if they were strangers.

Then, she turned around and greeted the group naturally.

"You guys are leaving now? Goodbye!”

"Goodbye, pretty lady!"

Everyone liked this beautiful and generous boss.

However, they were a little surprised when they saw the man not far from her.

The sky was dark, and the lights flickered. When the light shone on Eric’s face, it was not as clear as in the daylight.

The man was tall and lean. His jaw was as sharp as a knife. Although they could not see the man clearly at a glance, the man seemed to be exuding an oppressive vibe.

Selena and Eric did not look like they had a close relationship outside.

On the contrary, it looked like Selena, as the owner of the bar, was just politely seeing this big boss off.

That was all.

They were distant and polite.

Everyone did not pursue this further and waved before they left.

Seeing that no one was suspicious, Selena breathed a sigh of relief.

When she turned back to look at Eric, Eric's face was terribly gloomy.

Selena did not seem to be doing anything wrong, so she did not know why he had this expression.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and tried to brush him off.

"I saw that all your friends are here, Why don't you go back upstairs? You can leave first if you want. You don't have to wait for me!”

Before she turned around, Eric grabbed her hand and walked toward the car.

At first, Selena wanted to struggle, but she later found out that the car was blocking them from other people's sight.

That was why she did not refuse.

Eric was still cautious.

Selena followed him and accidentally fell into his embrace.

Eric supported her and became more gentle.

However, Selena quickly took a step back and let go of him.

After all, they were still in public. So, they should be careful.

Now that Selena had let go of her feelings for Eric, there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble for herself and him.

Eric looked at her. "Don't you have anything to ask about today's matter?"

Selena paused and looked up at him.

"I have nothing to ask, Mr. Ferguson. What exactly do you want to say?"

Her nonchalance made Eric feel angry and powerless.

Eric would rather Selena have a big fight with him.

That would be better than this unbothered attitude.

"Oh, you mean about you and Ms. Caldwell? Are you going to get married? Should I disappear from your sight now?"

Selena looked at Eric with clear eyes without the slightest bit of boredom or anger.

Eric suddenly felt dazed and uneasy when he saw her like this.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2533-Eric looked at Selena quietly for more than ten seconds.

His face was extremely tense and glum.

Eric said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Selena paused and raised her eyebrows.

"Alright, I understand. From now on, let's delete each other's contact information. I won’t look for you again, and you shouldn't look for me either. We can just treat each other as strangers."

Selena rationally arranged the plan for their future, just like when they were not together back then.

Eric's face and eyes darkened.

His emotions surged violently, but he suppressed them. They were like currents in the deep and boundless sea.

A gust of wind could cause huge waves.

"No."

His voice was hoarse. He felt as if his throat had been ground by coarse sand, so much so that it hurt to speak.

"What?"

"I have nothing to do with her, let alone marry her. I came here to explain it to you.”

Eric looked at Selena, but there was no emotion or excitement on her face.

Selena was way too calm.

Eric was a little speechless, but he had to say it.

He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "It's only because our companies are about to partner on a project. If we draw a clear line, everyone will think that there is something wrong with our partnership. Then, it won't be good for both companies. That's why we remained silent."

Eric looked at Selena with burning eyes.

He actually felt a little guilty.

That was because there were two solutions proposed to him back then. 1

Even if Eric made a clarification, they would not have much of a loss.

They just would not have the current gain.

However, Eric could not tell Selena because he would just be digging his own grave, i

At that moment, Eric was looking forward to seeing a different reaction on her face.

It did not matter as long as she was not so calm.

However, Selena just listened to him calmly and nodded knowingly.

Eric did not know whether Selena believed him or not.

"Oh, I thought you were here to say goodbye to me."

Selena sounded a little disappointed.

Eric's face tensed. He paused and asked what he was thinking.

"Are you really willing to break up with me?"

He thought that she wanted to marry him before, i

How could she still be so calm when she heard about his affair with another woman?

Selena smiled and looked at him calmly.

At that glance, she seemed a bit cold and indifferent.

"Mr. Ferguson, did you forget our agreement back then? We agreed on three things. Among them is that our relationship cannot be exposed. When we find our other half, our relationship will end immediately. If you're getting married, we certainly won't be able to keep this relationship.

Although I can accept an underground relationship, I can't accept being labeled a homewrecker. I believe that you’re the same." i

Every word Selena said was like a stone smashing into his heart.

It hurt, and it was uncomfortable.

That was because Selena was the one who threw the stone at him.

Eric looked into her eyes with a dark gaze.

For a moment, he could not understand what was going on.

Before this, Selena obviously liked him so much that she wanted to marry him.

After he finally dispelled that idea, how could she say these words so calmly now?

Was she sincere to herself? i

It was clear that it was not appropriate to dwell on this issue now.

Eric's eyes were dark and gloomy.

"I'm the same? You mean, if you meet the right person, you’ll break up with me?" i

His voice was low and restrained.

Eric knew that he was about to lose control.

Selena tilted her head, looked at him, and suddenly smiled.

"You're going off-topic. Are you going back in? If not, I have to go back and help. The bar just opened, and Chaz can't handle everything on his own."

Selena dismissed the topic as if nothing happened.

She did not want to delve into it.

How could Eric not understand what she meant?

Selena would not waste her whole life on him.

They would break up if Eric found a marriage partner.

Selena wanted to be on the right track as well. She would end this relationship when she met the right person.

It made sense.

This was a relationship with no hope and no end, so why not choose a marriage that could be shown off?

However, Eric could not do it.

His chest seemed like it was stuffed with an inflated sponge. It became extremely difficult to breathe.

Selena quickly returned to the bar.

All that was left was her departing back.

Eric stood there for a long time. In the end, he got into the car and left.

He went back to the villa.

Eric was not in the mood to stand there and watch as people had fun at the bar. He just wanted to figure out why he felt so uncomfortable after hearing Selena's words.

He was confident when he went over to the bar.

Even if Selena started to make a fuss and scolded him, he still had a way to deal with it.

However, he did not expect her reaction to be like this.

It caught him offguard.

It seemed that something important was taken from him.

His heart also felt empty.

The feeling of weightlessness increased.

Fortunately, there were few cars along the way. He arrived home without a hitch and felt a little lost.

It turned out that Selena was also planning her own future.

However, her future excluded him.

This kind of loneliness made Eric feel dejected.

However, he could not fault her for this.

That was because he was the one who rejected her and dispelled her idea of marriage.

He had also nipped her affection for him in the bud.

It was all his own doing. 1

Eric sat in the study without changing or washing up. He did not say a word.

When he heard the sound of a car engine outside, he paused, quickly got up to the balcony, and looked down.

It was not Selena.

Chance came home.

Chance rubbed the corners of his eyes wearily as he walked inside.

Eric took a deep breath and went out.

Chance happened to go upstairs and bumped into Eric. He paused and said, "Daddy, you're back?"

Eric nodded. His eyes were somewhat dark.

"Is your class at night tiring?" i

When Chance heard that Eric was concerned about him, he immediately cheered up.

"No, it's not tiring. This class is not difficult. Today is also the last class. Daddy, I want to rest for two days before starting another class. Is that okay?" ’

In fact, Chance was a little apprehensive because he did not know what Eric would say.

Eric frowned and remained silent. Seeing that, Chance suddenly regretted making this excessive request.

Just when Chance lowered his head in disappointment and waited for Eric to reprimand him, Eric responded.

"Okay. Go back and rest."

Chance raised his head in surprise.

Before he could get excited, Eric said, "Go and call Aunt Selena. Ask her what time she will be back. Do you want to pick her up?"

Chance paused slightly and looked up at Eric in puzzlement.

Usually, his father would contact Aunt Selena directly. ’

Why did Eric ask him to contact Selena now?

Eric pursed his lips. "I still have a video conference later, so

I don’t have time to pick her up. You can arrange for the driver to pick her up after you ask her the time."

After speaking, Eric turned around and left.

Chance nodded in understanding.

It turned out that Daddy came back to work overtime.

Daddy still liked Aunt Selena. Otherwise, he would not be worried about Aunt Selena's safety at such a late hour.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2534-Chance thought about it. As a member of the family, he felt like he should do something for the family.

Thus, he turned around and went downstairs, asking the driver to take him to Selena’s bar.

Chance wanted to pick Aunt Selena up personally.

In the bar, Selena originally planned to stay until closing time.

However, her biological clock had been irregular. She felt a little sleepy before midnight, i

Chaz asked her to go up to take a nap since there was nothing to do at this time.

Just as Selena was about to go up, she heard Chaz changing his tune.

"Don't go upstairs. Someone came to pick you up."

Selena subconsciously looked back.

Chance happily waved at her.

Selena's heart softened. She smiled, and her sleepiness disappeared.

"How did you get here? Is your class over?"

Chance nodded. "Daddy was afraid that it would be unsafe for you to go back alone at night, so he asked me to get the

driver to pick you up. I just tagged along. Aunt Selena, shall we go home?"

He looked up at her happily and went to hold her hand.

His crystal-clear eyes reflected the bright lights above. They looked like diamonds. 1

The tip of her heart moved.

Selena intended to sleep upstairs since she did not want to go back and face Eric.

However, she could not bear to refuse Chance.

She hesitated for a few seconds before she nodded.

"Alright."

When the two of them got home, it was already late at night.

Chance leaned against Selena and fell asleep.

Selena was also too sleepy to open her eyes.

Finally, they arrived.

The driver did not want to startle them, so he reminded them in a low voice, "Ms. Nelson, we're home."

Selena got up in a daze. Before she could open her eyes fully, the door opened.

Eric's figure blocked the light behind him.

His whole body was immersed in the darkness, so Selena could not see his emotions clearly.

However, it was rare that Eric would come down to pick them up in person.

Eric stared at the sleeping Chance, seemingly dissatisfied.

He was hesitating whether to wake Chance up.

Selena yawned and urged him.

"What are you still doing here? Carry him upstairs!"

Eric got rid of that thought and carried Chance stiffly.

For some reason, Eric was afraid of waking Chance up because he did not want to get scolded by Selena. Thus, he was more cautious than usual. 1

Fortunately, Chance was exhausted and was not so easily woken.

He leaned on his father's shoulders and did not even change his breathing.

Selena got out of the car by herself, stretched her back, and walked in slowly.

One of the servants went to get her bag and coat. She asked in a low voice, "Do you want something to eat?"

Selena shook her head and smiled energetically.

"I'm not hungry. Go to bed. Don't wake me up for breakfast tomorrow morning."

The servant nodded and went back.

Selena first went to check on Chance.

Fortunately, Eric still had a conscience and did not wake him up.

Chance, who was on the bed, looked so fair, tender, and harmless. He was simply adorable.

Eric came out immediately. When he saw her, his eyes constricted.

Then, he walked out as if nothing had happened, closed the door, and looked at her with a smile.

"I thought you’d be mad at me."

Selena raised her eyebrows. "It’s not necessary." i

After she finished speaking, she turned and went back to the bedroom.

It really was not necessary.

Since Selena already let go of her feelings for him, she could take anything.

Eric was silent. Then, he followed her.

He was happy that she came back.

At least, his heart settled down.

Neither of them brought up that topic again.

However, it was still a little awkward.

Eric felt stupid for being so calculative.

He had already explained what happened with Taylor when they were at the bar entrance, i

As for whether to believe his explanation, Selena had her own judgment.

Eric felt that he would look guilty if he explained repeatedly.

Thus, he just brushed off this matter.

The popularity online only lasted for two days.

However, it was an excellent momentum for the cooperation between Ferguson Corporation and CK Corporation.

The trend of their stocks said it all.

The cooperation between the two companies reached an unprecedented understanding. With this increase in stock prices, both sides decided to increase the depth of their cooperation.

However, the number of times Selena returned to the villa gradually decreased.

On the surface, Selena looked like she had not changed much. Since she was busy at the bar, she simply did not go back to the villa sometimes when it got too late.

She would then send a message to Eric.

Eric was also busy. He did not go back and sleep on time every day, so how could he notice that Selena was gradually becoming more distant from him?

He thought that their relationship had stabilized.

He also became more certain that she could not do without him.

The bankruptcy and liquidation of Yeager Corporation took nearly two months.

Cindy hardly showed her face in the past two months.

Larry Yeager had been living in the hospital while Cindy's mother had long since left the country. The members of the Yeager family were scattered.

After finding that struggling was useless, the Yeagers took it upon themselves to find another way of life.

The debt also fell on the Yeager family.

However, using all the collateral to pay off the debt was not enough to fill that hole.

The people from the bank pressed on every step of the way. Almost every day, people were guarding the entrance of the hospital, fearing that Larry would run away.

When Mitchell reported this to Eric, he paid attention to Eric's expression.

"Mr. Ferguson, our people have tracked down Ms. Yeager's whereabouts several times so far, but she is quite cautious. She has not stayed in one place for more than two days. She's also using her cousin's ID, and no one has seen her. We can roughly grasp her whereabouts. In fact, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to catch her and let her admit to

hiring a hitman? Why bother spending so many resources to watch her movements? What if she runs away?"

Eric’s expression was gloomy. His eyes were dark, and he was exuding a sharp chill.

"Allowing her to surrender is letting her off easy. I want her to spend the rest of her life in prison."

His voice was inexplicably cold.

Mitchell paused. He suddenly figured out Eric's intention.

Then, Mitchell nodded solemnly.

"Okay. I’ll send someone to keep an eye on her."

"Don’t watch her too closely. Cindy is a cautious person. Don't let her notice you. Otherwise, she'll be prepared."

"Understood."

In a few days, Eric attended a relatively private business event.

His itinerary was confidential, and not many people knew about it.

Eric got out of the black Bentley, entered the convention center, and did not come out until the evening.

Since this event was more confidential, he did not make a big fanfare out of it.

If it were not for that black Bentley, who would have

imagined that Eric would meet with several bigwigs from the business world here?

Eric got into the black Bentley. Then, the car slowly merged into the heavy traffic.

The car was approaching the city center, and the flow of traffic gradually increased.

His car windows were also lowered halfway.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2535 -The outside wind brought in a trace of heat. The agarwood scent in the car dispersed a little.

The car was stable and comfortable.

The man inside was on the phone, revealing his sharp side profile.

No one noticed that in the side lane just one car away, there was a car to the left of the black Bentley.

A pair of hateful and bloodshot eyes stared in the direction of the black Bentley.

The woman took her phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Sloan, the time has come. Where are your people?"

There was a buzz from the phone. Soon, a gentle and clear voice sounded.

"Ms. Yeager, I arranged a getaway car for you. It's the third red car behind your car. When you are done, get in the car while no one notices you. The driver will take you to where you're supposed to go."

Cindy subconsciously looked in the back mirror when she heard this.

Sure enough, the third car behind hers was a red car.

She let out a slow sigh of relief.

"Okay."

Cindy hung up the phone contentedly.

She wanted to go all out to bring Eric down, but she did not want to die. She just wanted to watch him die!

With her power, there was no way she could smear Eric's reputation online because he could control the media easily.

Therefore, she could only use the most stupid yet effective way.

After all, she had already stabbed him fiercely once before.

When Cindy thought of this, she suddenly gained confidence and was no longer flustered.

The hot sun shone on her. She squinted her eyes. Suddenly, there was traffic congestion in front of her.

A white car was trying to cut in front of her from the side.

That would block her view of the black Bentley.

Cindy honked the horn angrily.

However, the white car was annoyed and responded in an even more unreasonable way by honking incessantly.

Cindy panicked, and her anger disappeared in an instant.

That was because she was worried that the commotion would attract Eric’s attention.

She raised the windows on both sides of the car in a panic and slightly reversed the car, allowing the white car to get in

front of her.

The owner of the car was probably a man. He lowered the car window and showed Cindy the middle finger.

Cindy's face was livid.

If it were not for her fixed plan that could not be changed, Cindy would not have put up with such a scumbag.

Cindy told herself not to be impulsive. She should not ruin her perfect plan for this small episode.

Fortunately, the traffic became smoother after the car cut in.

The traffic moved forward slowly.

Cindy kept looking at the lane next to her.

The black Bentley was still there.

However, the car window was raised, and Cindy could vaguely see the figure inside.

Cindy calmed down.

There was a traffic light a hundred meters ahead.

The red light would turn green in ten seconds.

The cars in front already crossed the intersection with the previous green light, so there was only the white car in front of her.

The black Bentley was on the left side of the white car.

Cindy calmed herself down.

Six, five, four...

Her heart seemed to be beating restlessly.

The moment the traffic light turned green, the white car stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

Cindy took the opportunity to step on the accelerator and drove toward the black Bentley.

She made a sharp turn and hit Bentley’s right side.

The Bentley had to stop.

The two cars collided, and both parties were waiting for each other to get out of the car to resolve the issue.

Cindy knew that Eric would definitely stay in the car.

She looked over and saw the black-tinted windows. Thus, she could not see him clearly.

Cindy could not even see if there was a driver.

How could the car be empty?

The driver would probably get off.

Cindy was not the innocent party.

The driver was unlucky to be dragged down by her.

Thus, she waited patiently.

She waited for the traffic lights to change again.

Cindy figured out the pattern of the traffic lights at this intersection and expected the change soon.

She also knew that the traffic at this time and place would be congested.

When Cindy heard the honk of a big truck, she flashed a crazed smile.

She was reckless, free, and happy.

Finally, it would be over for the person who hurt her so badly.

Cindy suddenly backed up amidst the warning horns of the vehicles. She reversed to avoid getting hit by the big truck.

Her delay left the black Bentley with no room to move.

Three...two...one!

Bang-

Then, the brakes screeched.

The two cars collided.

It was just a matter of seconds.

It was supposed to be a small accident, but the big truck came out of nowhere and escalated the accident.

In an instant, the black Bentley became distorted. It could not withstand the impact of the big truck.

The car was severely damaged, and almost half of it was smashed.

It was impossible for the people inside to survive.

The world seemed to quiet down instantly.

Cindy got out of her car the moment the big truck rushed over. She ran straight to that red getaway car behind her when everyone was not paying attention.

"I'm Cindy Yeager. Let's go."

Her tone was calm, but also a little nervous.

Her palms were full of cold sweat.

Cindy did not expect everything to go so smoothly.

The driver did not hesitate and turned the steering wheel to join the traffic with the other cars making a detour.

She was not at all worried about her abandoned car in the middle of the road.

That was because by the time someone looked for her, she might already be on a plane heading abroad.

Thinking of this, Cindy became excited.

The driver in front had a low voice.

"Ms. Yeager, take a rest. I'll call you when we're at the airport."

From the front, the driver handed over a bottle of water and said in a respectful and polite tone.

Cindy felt relieved by his politeness.

She thought that Clayton's people were indeed well-trained.

Cindy took the water. The accident was too thrilling and exciting, so she was really nervous and thirsty.

She raised her head and drank half of the bottle.

Afterward, she felt much more comfortable and leaned back, feeling tired.

Forty minutes later in the investigation room of the police station, Eric and the driver came out one after another. The two of them were neatly dressed, and they were not at all panicking.

The deputy chief behind Eric sighed in relief.

"Fortunately, no one else was implicated in this accident. Otherwise, it would've been more serious. This accident only damaged some public facilities and three cars. Don't worry, we will investigate Cindy Yeager’s involvement immediately."

Eric loosened his collar. His eyes were indifferent and gloomy.

"She has a plan. You should at least ask what is the relationship between her and the truck driver. Now that the Yeager family is bankrupt, she probably didn't have much money to buy off the driver. I’m guessing that it'll be easy to get information from the truck driver..."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2536 -Eric was talking when a police officer suddenly ran in.

The officer looked inexplicably excited.

"Deputy Chief, a good Samaritan noticed that something was off with Cindy Yeager, so he picked her up and sent her straight to our police station. We don't need to use any effort to look for her."

The deputy chief was stunned, and his spirits lifted.

"Where is she?” 1

"Outside. Our colleagues have brought her here..."

As he said that, Cindy was restrained and cuffed by two other officers.

Cindy's mind was muddled, but she still knew where she was.

She struggled with all her might.

"Let go of me! Why are you arresting me?"

She yelled but to no avail.

Cindy felt aggrieved. She thought that God was really unfair!

She still got caught.

What was going on?

Was it that driver?

Or was it Clayton?

What part of her plan went wrong?

Cindy's mind was a mess at this moment.

However, she knew that she could just refuse to admit it. Yes, she would just say that it was an ordinary accident...

After all, the truck driver was the one who caused the death of the people in the Bentley.

Cindy already bribed the truck driver.

When she was struggling to break free from her restraints, she accidentally fell to the ground.

She sobered up because of the pain.

Her drowsiness also dissipated.

Someone shouted, "Hurry up and arrest her! She’s the main suspect!"

The officers behind Cindy pulled her up forcefully.

The moment she stood up, she saw a man standing there not far away.

She was instantly shocked.

Was Eric not dead?

How was that possible?

Cindy saw Eric in that Bentley.

She saw with her own eyes when the large truck smashed into his car.

Eric deserved to die!

However, Eric was still standing here alive and well. His eyes were stern, indifferent, and mocking.

It was as if he was mocking how ridiculously her plans failed.

That condescending indifference made Cindy feel powerless and frightened.

She felt like her throat was being strangled by something invisible that slowly tightened and took away her air little by little.

Somehow, she felt a biting cold.

Cindy stared at Eric in disbelief and shock.

Even his driver, who was beside him, looked so decent and clean.

Cindy was the only one who looked wretched.

She could hardly say a word, and her legs were shaking uncontrollably.

It should not turn out like this.

How was Eric not dead?

The police escorted Cindy forward, passing Eric and the driver.

Cindy suddenly woke up.

She looked back and knew it was not a dream.

Her heart instantly turned cold.

"Eric, why are you here? Why didn’t you die? You should’ve died!"

Cindy could not help but yell at Eric.

Eric twitched the corner of his mouth with a bit of ridicule.

He looked at her disdainfully and did not say a word.

An old police officer on the opposite side said, "You should be thankful that Mr. Ferguson and his driver got out of the car early because of an emergency. There was no one in the car at the time. Otherwise, if something happened to them, you wouldn’t be able to get away with it."

His words were like a heavy blow to Cindy's head, which bloodied it.

Cindy felt some difficulty breathing. Her eyes widened instantly.

"No, it shouldn't be like this! Why did you get out of the car? You should die in the car!"

Everyone else heard what was wrong with her words.

If this was an ordinary accident, everyone would be happy that there were no deaths.

Who would expect something to happen?

Only the mastermind of the accident would expect someone to die.

Eric said lightly, "You guys heard that, right? Ms. Yeager knows my whereabouts like the back of her hand. I have every reason to suspect that she was responsible for the accident."

The deputy chief on the opposite side nodded.

He looked at Cindy's reaction and knew that something was wrong.

Cindy was short of breath as she realized that the current situation was beyond her control.

Clayton betrayed her to curry favor with his love rival!

Cindy almost lost control and wanted to pounce on Eric.

She would be satisfied even if she strangled him to death with her own hands.

"Damn you, Eric! Did you already know about my plan?

Hahahaha, you can really endure it, huh? You already knew that I was the one who hired someone to stab you last time, but you put up with me until now. Is it because you have no evidence? Eric, I won't let you go! You will have retribution for harming my family!"

Cindy’s roar was hysterical.

She was dragged into the interrogation room by the officers.

Her words contained too much information.

It even involved another case.

Eric was also an important party in that case.

At this moment, this case was no longer an ordinary traffic accident.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Eric immediately showed a satisfied smile.

He did not look like he just got scolded.

His grim expression softened a little. Then, he turned to look at the deputy chief.

"In that case, I look forward to the good news."

The other party nodded and walked him to the door.

Eric and his driver left. A new car came to pick them up.

Mitchell came in person.

On the way back, the driver drove while Mitchell sat in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Ferguson, everything has been dealt with. The evidence has been handed over to the police. We have also gotten the hospital to verify Ms. Yeager's mental state to prove that she was mentally sound at the time of the accident."

The purpose of this was that they feared Cindy would take advantage of this loophole to exonerate herself.

Eric chuckled. "People who aren't mentally sound can't think of such a meticulous plan like hers."

If Clayton had not contacted Eric in advance, Eric would probably have died at her hands.

It was a pity that her plan failed because of Clayton.

Mitchell nodded. 'That's true. Now, we can finally rest assured."

After all, Cindy's disappearance was like a landmine that could detonate at any time.

Eric pursed his lips indifferently and looked stern.

Mitchell paused and saw that he still had other things scheduled.

"Mr. Ferguson, you have a meeting this afternoon..."

Although Eric just had a near-death experience, Mitchell believed that it was nothing to Eric.

Thus, Mitchell began to arrange Eric's schedule as if nothing had happened.

Eric interrupted him.

"Postpone it."

"What?"

"I was just startled, so I have to take a day off. Send me to the bar. You can deal with the rest.'

Mitchell was speechless as he thought, 'Is this even Eric? What's wrong with him?'

He put away his phone and nodded lightly.

Sure enough, being in love made people vulnerable.

Eric was no longer brave.

When Eric arrived at the bar, he tidied up his clothes.

He glanced back at the driver and Mitchell, thought about it for a while, and said, "Donald, you can also take a day off."

Donald was Eric’s driver, who smiled and nodded.

Mitchell helplessly held his forehead.

He was dumbfounded.

Eric and Donald were on vacation while he had to go back to work overtime!

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2537-The bar was pretty quiet during the day.

Since it was already evening, everyone was getting ready for business.

As soon as Eric entered, someone saw him.

"Where's your boss?"

Eric asked.

The waiter pointed upstairs, and Eric nodded.

Selena was resting in her room, preparing for the overtime work at night.

She did not expect Eric to come over quietly.

However, she did not have much of a reaction. She just glanced at him and lay back down.

"Why are you so free to come over?”

Her voice was still a little languid.

Eric walked over, took off his coat, and hugged Selena from behind through the quilt.

At that moment, his originally empty heart was filled in an instant.

Eric closed his eyes. He was familiar with her body and her scent.

That feeling made him feel more nostalgic that he got to be with her again.

Selena sensed something was wrong with Eric, but she did not bother to pursue it.

She felt that it was better not to know him too well.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Eric was silent for a few minutes before he recovered from that sense of loss.

"Selena, today I..."

Eric wanted to talk to her about what happened earlier.

Selena must be worried for him.

She had always been a soft-hearted person.

She might even praise him for being smart because he predicted what would happen.

As a result, Selena interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Eric, I've been busy all day today and didn’t get to sleep well. I have to get up later and continue to work. Can you stop talking? We can talk about it later if you have something important to tell me."

Selena was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open.

Her mumbled words made Eric stiffen.

He swallowed all his words.

Eric loosened his grip on her waist for fear of disturbing her.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore. Go to sleep."

He stroked her head, then lay beside her with his clothes on and kept quiet.

After a while, Selena keenly heard the sound of the drums downstairs and opened her eyes.

The sound insulation upstairs was good, but Selena was so used to the environment that she would notice even the slightest sounds.

When she got up, she saw that Eric was lying beside her, sound asleep.

His brows were sharp and cold, and he looked so handsome. He did not seem so cold and oppressive when he was asleep, but he was still good-looking.

Selena stared at him blankly for a few seconds. Suddenly, Eric's phone lit up. There was an incoming message.

Fortunately, his phone was muted, so there was no sound.

Selena did not mean to look at it, but her phone was also placed next to his.

When she took her phone, she glanced at Eric’s phone unexpectedly and saw the message.

It was a message from Taylor Caldwell.

[I heard that you got in an accident today. My father asked me to check on you on his behalf. If you need any help, we will try our best to assist you.]

The short and concise message distracted Selena.

Eric looked like he did not want to share his number with Taylor when they were at the hotel entrance. However, he already added her on WhatsApp behind her back.

That day, Eric explained to Selena that the scandal between him and Taylor was just a public relations gimmick.

However, the public relations department only came up with this plan because Eric and Taylor were well-matched for each other.

Eric was in an accident today...

Selena thought about it for a while and recalled that Eric wanted to tell her something, but she interrupted him.

It turned out that he was in an accident.

If Eric was in danger, Taylor and CK Corporation could go all out to assist him.

What about Selena?

Selena was not even in the mood to listen to him.

She suddenly felt that their relationship was meaningless.

Somehow, Selena picked up his phone. She knew his password.

She knew she should not do this, that it was a petty and despicable act to peek at other people's privacy.

However, she just wanted to find a reason to make herself give up on Eric.

The moment she unlocked Eric’s phone and clicked on WhatsApp, Taylor's name came into view.

The man on the bed suddenly sneered.

"Is it interesting to read?”

His voice was clear, hoarse, and somewhat cold.

Selena was startled. She dropped the phone on the spot, which clattered on the table.

In fact, Selena did not get to see anything clearly.

She just felt guilty for being caught.

Eric put one hand behind his head. His posture was languid, and his eyes were probing and indifferent. He squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at her coldly.

"Selena, when did you start doing this kind of thing?"

This kind of roguish, impetuous, and suspicious thing that only insecure women would do.

Selena's heart clenched. She pursed her lips and knew she was in the wrong, so she did not refute.

“I'm sorry."

Selena had nothing else to say but sorry.

She was not Eric's wife, so she had no right to check his phone.

Such a relationship was too shameful.

Eric looked at her quietly for a few seconds before he slowly picked up his phone.

After unlocking it, he took a look. His eyes flickered slightly.

Finally, he clicked on his chat with Taylor and handed his phone to Selena.

"Here. Didn't you want to see what I was talking about with her? I added her on WhatsApp a few days ago because of business. We don’t talk much."

The only sentence in their chat was what Selena saw just now.

Eric and Taylor had not spoken to each other before.

Had they not spoken, or did he delete the messages?

Selena would not question Eric's character.

She was forced to read his messages, so her expression was glum, and she could hear the displeasure in Eric's voice.

Eric was a little cold, but it was enough for Selena to notice it.

"That's enough. I don't want to read it anymore. I won't read your messages in the future.”

Selena took a deep breath and said calmly, "I wasn't in my right mind just now and did something stupid. I apologize for that.”

She could accept his displeasure.

She admitted that she was wrong.

To Eric, Selena had overstepped her bounds.

She was overconfident and failed to recognize her own identity. This thought made Selena feel ashamed.

Eric took a deep look at her.

There were complex and deep emotions in his eyes.

Some emotions were indescribable. He was indifferent, and he quickly covered it up.

"Selena, I don’t blame you for looking at my phone behind my back. It's just that there is a lot of confidential information on my phone that cannot be shared. You're aware of how many public figures get their reputations ruined online because of their partner's carelessness.

Although I won’t be ruined, the image of my company is still very important. Don’t you think so?"

His voice is warm, soft, and gentle.

Eric wanted to talk to Selena about this matter.

He did not want her to be suspicious like other women. It would make the two of them very tired.

Eric wanted their relationship to be pure and clean rather than mixing too many other factors.

He could declare her identity to the public, but he would not marry her, especially at this time.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2538-Selena looked at Eric's smiling face. His eyes were still stern and indifferent. He seemed so aloof and unapproachable, as if she would never attain his heart.

Eric’s words seemed gentle like he did not blame her, but it felt as if he had slapped her hard in the face.

Her face felt hot, and she felt like her darkest secret was exposed.

Selena was stunned for a few seconds. She stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, calmed down, and looked back at him.

She said in a clear and cold tone, "You don't need to put it so nicely. You're just trying to say that I overstepped my bounds, right? I have already apologized and promised not to do it again. Why do you still want to insult me?''

Eric's expression turned glum. His eyes also dimmed slightly.

"I didn't mean to insult you. I was just talking to you. Don't overthink it."

"Any normal person would misunderstand the way you put it. Eric, I did read your message, but so what? Are you saying there's some kind of confidential work in your conversation? If so, why did you show it to me just now? If not, why can’t I read it? I know we can’t get married, but don't I have the normal rights of a girlfriend? Or is your girlfriend now Ms. Caldwell, but I'm somehow unaware of it?"

Selena took a deep breath. She finally lashed out all her pent- up frustration.

She was not one to endure grievances.

If they were happy, they could stay together. If not, they would break up.

Having such a messy relationship would just make her unhappy.

There was a dead silence in the room for a moment.

Eric's forbearing expression became calm and cold.

He stared at her with an indistinct emotion. However, his lips were tightly pursed, which showed his current mood.

He was silent and cold.

Eric watched Selena vent. Then, he sat up, raised his chin slightly, and met her gaze.

"I've already explained why we can't get married and what happened with Taylor. Why do you still want to bring up the past? Are you not satisfied with my explanation? If so, why didn't you bring it up at that time? Instead, you're trying to settle accounts now? I don't understand, Selena. You're obviously not such a suspicious and calculating person.

Why did you become like this? The information on my phone is confidential. Even Mitchell isn’t privy to that information. Why are you threatening me with our relationship? Why do you need evidence of my loyalty to you? I always thought that we can trust each other and that we don't need to use this way to prove each other's sincerity."

When Eric was talking, he tried his best to calm himself and communicated his thoughts rationally.

He would never blindly tolerate a woman hurting his career.

Selena could do nothing or have her own hobbies, but that was only if she did not harm the interests of Ferguson Corporation.

Otherwise, the nature of their relationship would change.

Sooner or later, Eric would have to say these words to Selena. Since she mentioned it now, Eric thought to just explain it clearly.

Both of them fell silent.

There was dead silence, and the room felt icy.

They were estranged from each other.

Selena suddenly sneered and broke the silence.

She took a deep breath. The stuffiness in her chest dissipated. She glanced at Eric lightly and said, "Am I suspicious and calculating? If you have such a clear conscience, why did you explain to me about your relationship with Ms. Caldwell? Why were you afraid that I'll read your messages? You’re obviously guilty of something, Eric. Stop flaunting how infatuated and loyal you are to me! These two adjectives have nothing to do with you!"

"Selena, that’s enough!"

Eric suddenly stood up. His face became extremely gloomy.

"How big of a fuss do you want to kick up? Can't I just communicate with a normal person? Selena, since when did you become like this? How else can I explain for you to believe me?"

Selena suddenly choked. Her chest felt tight and painful.

Eric already made his judgment about her, so how could she refute?

Was it just because she was caught looking at his phone?

Selena thought it was ridiculous and laughed out loud.

"Don't you know what I'm like? I'm always like this. If you don't want to see me, you can leave. I won't change myself for anyone. I'm a great person. You're the one with the problem, Eric. Since you refused to marry me, I've already given up on the idea. You accepted the rumors saying that you married Taylor. Even if you've explained it to me, it doesn't mean that you’re innocent. That's because in your heart, you think that only someone like Taylor is worthy of you. I'm a nobody to you, so if news of us dating got out, it’ll only lower Ferguson Corporation's stock price. Am I right?"

Selena said it in one go and spoke every word clearly.

Eric felt like a nail had pierced into his heart.

His face was livid and pale, and he glared at her.

Selena did not give him a chance to refute and said her inner thoughts.

"Admit it, Eric. You're a petty person who looks down on the poor. You did the same to Nicole back then when she concealed her identity to marry you. You ignored her and showed no emotion. After she divorced you and regained her identity, you suddenly think that you love her deeply. Don't you think you're ridiculous? Do you think I hold a grudge for not being able to marry you? Of course not! I won't forget who I am just because I like you, let alone compromise my dignity. Do you think I'm jealous of the scandal between you and Taylor? No, I just find it ridiculous. I'm just curious what you said to that woman. She hasn't mentioned a marriage alliance with you yet, so you can have a clear conscience. Once your marriage involves the interests of Ferguson Corporation, you will probably hesitate for a few days before you agree to it, right?"

Selena's face was indifferent and bright. Her eyes were ferocious.

However, she was calm and extremely cold.

Two emotions seemed to tear her apart.

There was a sense of energy coming from her that made Eric feel like she was not her usual self.

She tasted the sweetness of love, but she also experienced the bitterness.

Why should she endure this kind of suffering alone?

Nobody ever told him this, right?

Seeing Eric's shocked and stiff expression, Selena felt a surge of excitement.

She was happy that she won the battle, but she knew that she did not win on her own.

Instead, Nicole won the battle.

Thus, this was not a glamorous win for Selena.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2539-It was nice for Selena to be able to take this opportunity to vent her frustration.

Selena never thought that she and Eric would insult each other so badly one day.

She did not even know who to blame.

Eric's whole body was tense. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly as he tried his best to restrain his emotions.

Her words were like sparks that ignited the bombs in his heart.

Eric had long been aware of his dark side, but no one dared to expose his repulsiveness in front of him.

However, Selena had no scruples.

Selena crossed her arms and looked at him sarcastically.

"I got it right, Eric. Just admit it. You don't have a heart, so I don't care who you fall in love with. I only care if I'm being cheated on!"

Her tone was so cold that she did not leave any room for maneuver.

"Are you done talking? You didn't even ask me what happened today. You're provoking me just because of a message? You're not qualified to be my girlfriend!''

Eric was furious. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her, but he suddenly stopped mid-air and clenched his fist.

At that moment, Selena's face suddenly darkened.

This looked more like Eric was holding back from slapping her.

Selena quickly slapped away his hand and stared at him with a cold face.

"You want to hit me?"

Selena sneered. She would not allow herself to be suppressed by another man.

Derek Norton’s abuse back then traumatized her.

Now, she had no need to put up with violence.

Selena questioned Eric. She became furious and slapped Eric's cold and handsome face.

Slap-

The hard slap made a loud and crisp sound.

Eric tilted his head slightly after being beaten and looked at her in disbelief.

His tone became a little solemn.

"Selena, are you crazy? I think I’ve been too nice to you that you don't have a sense of propriety anymore. Our relationship aside, I've helped you so many times. Do you

really think that I didn't contribute at all? Who helped you with your lawsuit with Derek Norton? Who handled your subsequent attempted murder? Have you forgotten everything?"

His eyes were somewhat cold, indifferent, and distant.

Eric reminded Selena that there was more than just a romantic relationship between them.

They only met because Selena owed him.

Selena looked at him calmly. Her heart was dead.

She looked at their relationship from the perspective of a bystander and felt that it was indeed absurd.

"Of course I didn’t forget. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have started this relationship. I knew you were a good person, so I thought of giving us a shot. But you undermine me and look down on me. Why should I lower myself to cater to your preferences? Is it just because you helped me? Is that why I should tolerate and please you? Even without your help, even if I killed Derek Norton and went to prison for the rest of my life, I would have a clear conscience. You can say that I'm ungrateful, but I have principles. You can also say that I am selfish. If I were selfless, I would've been taken advantage of!"

Selena’s voice was sharp. Her words were like ice picks hitting Eric's heart.

Eric stood there. His face was swollen from the slap, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding.

His hair hung loose in front of his forehead, and he looked a little unkempt.

His eyes were scarlet from being provoked by Selena.

Eric clenched his fists tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his expression was stern.

"So?"

Eric was so angry that he did not know how to refute her.

If he said one word, she would have a dozen words that she would refute him with.

Would she only be happy after scolding him?

His voice was low and hoarse.

"So? So, please get out of my bar right now. Eric, now that we've come to this point, there's no need to maintain superficial harmony, right? I am officially dumping you. Don't ever appear in front of me again. I will look down on you if you pester me. I will also let everyone know how you go back against your word. At that time, you won't be able to keep Ferguson Corporation’s stock prices from falling, and you may not even be able to keep Ms. Caldwell."

Selena looked at him meaningfully.

Once she made up her mind, she could risk her life and drag him down with her if need be.

If Selena was afraid of dying, she would have been tortured to death by Derek Norton.

Eric had always prioritized the interests of Ferguson Corporation, right?

Now that Selena knew his weakness, why not take advantage of it?

Sure enough, Eric’s eyes trembled slightly and turned sharp when he heard Selena's threat.

He kept quiet.

Then, he nodded, sneered, and took a step back.

He was exuding an oppressive chill.

"Fine. Selena, you really have a backbone. Don't come to me again in the future!"

He left some harsh words, turned around, and left with his phone.

Selena said calmly behind him, "Eric, I do have a backbone. Don’t do anything underhanded that will make me look down on you."

She wanted to dispel his thoughts of possibly taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Eric stopped for a while and left without turning back.

It was impossible to sit down and talk with a good temper on such an occasion.

It was a pity that Eric could not let others challenge his dignity and interests.

The moment he left Selena's room, their relationship changed.

Standing there, Selena breathed a sigh of relief.

She fell limp on the ground as if she lost all strength.

The soreness and dull pain in her chest came belatedly.

Her palms also felt slightly numb.

In desperation, she used the sharpest armor to protect herself and hurt Eric. ’

She did not mean to do this.

However, she could no longer endure this grievance.

Since she could not pretend to be innocent for a lifetime, then it was better not to start anything.

Otherwise, they would not end well.

Indeed, the online comments about Eric and Taylor being together were consistent.

Taylor and Eric were well-matched, and they looked good together, so how could they not be blessed?

It was just a matter of course.

After all, Selena was a speck of dust that everyone spat on.

Selena could not help Eric in any way.

There was no light in the room.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the bright and cold street lights outside shone through the window.

After a long time, someone knocked on the door.

Selena did not move.

Chaz could not help but push the door and opened it.

Looking at the woman sitting on the ground, Chaz was slightly taken aback.

"You’re inside? Why didn't you turn on the lights? Why are you sitting on the ground?"

Chaz turned on the light, walked over, and squatted next to Selena.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2540 -Chaz asked, "Boss, what happened? It's almost 10:00 pm, but you didn't come downstairs, so I thought you left with Mr. Ferguson."

Selena's expression was calm. She did not even shed a single tear.

It seemed like nothing had happened. However, her dispirited look as she sat there made Chaz wonder what was wrong.

She paused and slowly moved her gaze to look at Chaz.

"We broke up."

Chaz was silent for a moment before he smiled.

"It’s okay. That’s good! I support you."

"You do? Didn't you always want me to be with him?"

Chaz raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"That's on the premise that you like each other. I just wanted you to get out of your previous marriage. But from the looks of those overwhelming comments about Eric and that woman online, he didn't care to avoid suspicion at all. It shows that he allowed this rumor to spread. Since that's the case, there's nothing to say. I have a problem with him allowing this kind of rumor to hurt you. What else can you do but break up with him?”

Selena’s eyes flickered slightly. She suddenly smiled.

"Chaz, you really sound like a relationship expert. So many women will fall for you if you actually like women."

Chaz looked at her seriously.

"There are no ifs. I've always been clear about my sexual orientation, and I'm loyal to my partner."

Selena nodded and stood up.

"Come on. Let’s go down and help."

Chaz pressed her shoulder and sighed.

"Forget it. I'll give you a day off today, so you can rest up here. I'll handle downstairs."

"You're so nice?"

"I’m different from you, Boss. I’m a capitalist with a conscience!"

Chaz teased her, then stood up and ran away.

Selena’s mood improved after being interrupted by Chaz.

It was quiet outside the window.

The shadows of the trees fell on the window, which was mottled and messy.

She had not realized how beautiful and quiet it was at night.

Thanks to the sound insulation, the music downstairs hardly disturbed her.

A few days passed.

Cindy's incident escalated into a criminal case and was still under investigation.

With sufficient evidence, Cindy was sentenced to 25 years in jail.

After Larry Yeager heard the news, he knew that the Yeager family's last hope was gone and went into the ICU ward again.

In less than half a month, Larry passed away.

Cindy’s mother returned from abroad to handle Larry's funeral.

Back then, she left the country with her huge private stash. However, this account was found by the bank.

Within a few days of her return, her funds in the bank were frozen.

When the bank froze her money, Cindy's mother did not want to stay any longer in the country and fled abroad without visiting Cindy.

This incident was made public online, which created an uproar. However, it only spread for a day.

That was because this was replaced by another news story after a few days.

CK Corporation's heiress, Taylor Caldwell, was engaged.

Some time ago, Taylor and Eric's names were mentioned side by side and went viral.

When Taylor suddenly got engaged, everyone would naturally think of Eric.

However, the statement of CK Corporation mentioned that Taylor's fiance was another person.

Taylor's fiance was also from an affluent family, but he was not as influential as Eric.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Taylor and her fiance. The netizens also wished for their marriage to last.

Everyone gradually forgot Eric's existence.

Selena was not arrogant to think that Eric and Taylor did not get engaged because of her.

At most, it was because Taylor and Eric did not agree on the terms, which affected Eric's interests.

Eric would only compromise for his interests.

As usual, Selena stayed in the bar and went to work. She occasionally took her staff out for team building.

It seemed like she had completely gotten over that relationship.

Indeed, Selena no longer had to worry about losing Eric or think about whether her feelings were reciprocated. She also did not have to think about who was the best match for her boyfriend.

She felt clean and refreshed.

Eric had never contacted her, but Selena was not aware because she had blocked all forms of communication with him.

They had already come to this point. If Eric could forget about what happened, then he was not his usual self.

Eric had probably warned Chance too because Chance never dared to contact Selena.

Fair enough.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric working overtime became the norm again.

The employees of Ferguson Corporation did not know what happened from that day on. They discovered that Eric, who had gotten off work on time, suddenly started his devilish routine from before.

The lights in the office were always lit. Everyone gradually entered that tense state again.

Even Mitchell felt something was wrong.

Ever since Mitchell sent Eric to the bar that day, Eric could not be reached until he went to work the next day.

It seemed that nothing changed, but Mitchell keenly noticed that something was wrong.

Eric became quieter and more fierce. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was dumped by Nicole.

Seeing that Eric did not get off work on time and never looked at his phone all day, Mitchell realized that there must be a big problem between Eric and Selena.

Mitchell dared not ask such a loaded question.

If Mitchell could not solve the problem for Eric, he would be accused of being nosy.

Thus, he chose to keep silent.

Taylor from CK Corporation came to the office and talked to Eric for 15 minutes before she left.

Mitchell did not know what they talked about, but he could vaguely sense that it was not all business.

That was because Eric would not avoid him if it was solely business.

When Taylor left, she still looked gentle and elegant. There was no hint of disappointment or anger in her eyes, and she looked as calm as usual.

In the next few days, news of her engagement to another rich man spread.

Eric remained indifferent to this.

It was early July.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Mitchell never mentioned Selena in front of Eric like it was taboo.

On the same day, several female secretaries of the Ferguson Corporation Secretariat asked Mitchell for a day off and chatted happily.

They said that they were going on a date.

Naturally, Mitchell was not ignorant of this and was just about to agree when Eric came from the pantry just in time to hear their conversation.

Eric paused. Mitchell's eyes flashed, and he spoke seriously.

"No, your time off is not approved. Making money is more important than going on dates! Our president is doing everything possible for the long-term development of the company, yet you girls only think about going out on a date? You should be more ambitious!"

When the girls heard Mitchell, they raised their eyebrows angrily.

Just as they were about to refute, Mitchell turned to Eric and said with a smile, "Isn't that right, Mr. Ferguson? We shouldn't let them go. The most important thing is to work hard for yourselves."

When the girls heard it, they immediately understood and looked at Eric carefully.

"Mr. Ferguson, I'm going to get married soon. I've pushed back several dates. If I don't go this time, my boyfriend will get mad. What if he doesn't want to marry me then?"

Eric pursed his lips calmly.

"Go ahead."
