Ch. 2541..2550

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2541 -Eric’s voice was low and indifferent. He held a cup of coffee, turned around, and went back to the office.

The girls looked at Mitchell excitedly. Mitchell waved his hand with a smile before he followed Eric into the office.

Mitchell also held a document in his hand that needed to be signed.

He handed it over and said, "Mr. Ferguson, the planning meeting in the afternoon will be held as scheduled, and the owners are invited. Do you want to attend in person?"

Eric raised his eyes and said indifferently, "Do you think I don't have anything to do this holiday?"

"No..." Mitchell was a little shocked and was a little hesitant to speak.

"If you have private arrangements, I will postpone the meeting."

Mitchell tentatively spoke.

Eric fell silent.

After a long time, Eric spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"She didn't come to see me? Not even once?"

Mitchell suddenly understood what Eric was talking about and nodded cautiously.

Was Eric still hung up on Selena?

Eric rubbed his temples. He had a cold expression, and his eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes.

His eyes were sharp and dangerous like a bottomless frozen lake.

Were they really over?

Selena was really good at making a clean break.

Mitchell pursed his lips and said tentatively, "If you regret it, you can go to her first!"

"Regret? What regret?”

Eric’s tone suddenly became sharp. His voice was hoarse, deep, and indifferent.

Mitchell kept quiet.

The office was silent for several minutes.

Eric threw out the document in his hand with astonishing force.

He had always been a moody person.

How could he have remained indifferent after enduring his emotions for so many days?

Selena was too much.

Did she not know how hurtful those irrational words were to Eric?

If Eric tolerated and pleased her, she would only take it for granted. Thus, Eric would not pamper her.

However, Selena never once came to him during this time.

Even though news of Taylor's engagement was everywhere, Selena remained indifferent.

Selena would have seen it, and she clearly knew that he was compromising for her.

As long as Selena took the initiative to come to him, Eric could pretend that nothing happened.

He would not compromise and bow his head every time.

However, Selena never came.

His credit card was mailed to him the next day after they broke up.

It represented a clean break.

Eric could not even find a place to vent his anger, so he could only numb himself with work.

Mitchell bent down to pick up the documents on the ground.

He looked at the name of the project on the file and paused slightly.

"Mr. Ferguson, isn't this a good opportunity right now? This project involves the street where the bar is located, so you will definitely have to discuss the demolition issue in the later stage. Why don't you go there in person?"

Eric’s face was extremely dark. He sat on his chair, and his eyes were deep and cold.

If Eric went in person, it was tantamount to compromising with Selena.

How could he take the initiative to compromise?

Eric only wore expensive clothes and always looked meticulous. However, he stumbled when it came to Selena.

He was miserable.

Eric’s tone deepened.

"Go ahead and arrange the meeting as usual."

"Yes, sir."

They won the bid for this project, but it would take time to discuss the demolition and relocation of the businesses affected. Thus, there would be many opportunities to contact Selena.

The meeting was finalized.

Of course, it was necessary to use the most economical way to earn the greatest profit.

Therefore, Ferguson Corporation only made partial adjustments to the minimum demolition compensation standard given by the authorities.

For a fairly good storefront in a certain location, they would give out an extra 30% compensation.

Since that street was close to a school, the surrounding traffic and other infrastructure were done well. Thus, they would have a larger proportion of investment in the later stage.

A few days later, the officers went to notify the owners of the news of the demolition. Everyone was surprised.

That was because they did not expect the authorities to cover up this news so well because no news of it was revealed until now.

They did not even have time to prepare.

Of course, there were objections.

However, the relevant authorities already issued the documents, so the objections were temporarily not taken into account.

A total of 20 owners attended the meeting today.

Mitchell, as the representative of the management, had not spoken a word. The others kept speaking.

He glanced around but did not see Selena.

Instead, Chaz attended the meeting.

The manager explained the compensation standard clearly, but many people were dissatisfied with this figure.

"How is it reasonable to compensate us so little for such a big project?"

"Yeah! We're not satisfied with the amount. We will never sign it!"

Mitchell sat silently by the side. No one knew that he had the most power in the room.

Soon, he raised his eyes and saw someone walking in.

Was it Eric?

Eric said that he would leave everything to Mitchell and that he did not want to get involved in such a small project.

Now, the person with the most power came, and he sat among a group of owners.

Eric had such a strong command of the room. His eyes were indifferent and cold.

He glanced around. The moment he saw Chaz, Eric’s eyes became a little colder. Then, he quickly stood up and left.

Why should he stay when he could not see the person he longed for?

Mitchell pursed his lips, sighed, and immediately chased after Eric.

Before Eric got in the car, Eric, who had been silent this whole time, finally spoke.

"Since it's an owners' meeting, get the owners to come in person. The meeting is important, so the owners can't send representatives.

Mitchell paused and explained.

"Some of the owners aren’t in town and can’t come back in time, so they have no choice but to appoint a representative..."

‘Then get them to come back and buy them air tickets. We'll pay for their expenses."

Mitchell was helpless with Eric’s simple words.

Indeed, there were some owners who could not come back.

However, the person Eric wanted to see was Selena.

For Selena, Eric was willing to spend so much on air tickets.

Mitchell nodded and responded.

This owners’ meeting was just a warm-up.

Mitchell set up the next owners’ meeting in a conference center not far from here.

The conditions were much better than in the last meeting room. Everyone would not lose control again.

The person who attended this time was Selena.

When Mitchell saw her, his heart settled down.

Selena did not seem to care about the demolition. She neither agreed nor opposed it.

As long as the demolition compensation was sufficient, it did not matter where she opened her bar.

Mitchell hurried out to report the news to Eric.

Selena went out to the bathroom halfway through the meeting. It was very noisy inside, and she did not get enough sleep, so she looked a little weak.

As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she accidentally bumped into someone.

Before Selena could apologize, the other party apologized first and even helped her up.

"Harvey?"

Selena said in surprise.

The other party was wearing a mask and a hat, but his signature almond eyes were so familiar.

Harvey also recognized her. He took off his mask and smiled.

"Ms. Nelson, you're here too?"

Selena smiled. "Why are you here?”

"I came to attend an event nearby and have a date to meet my friend here. It's a guy friend. Don't get me wrong!”

Harvey smiled and winked. Selena felt that her fatigue disappeared in an instant.

"What a coincidence! Don't worry, I won’t tell."

Harvey nodded. "Let’s hang out next time. I’ll get going first."

Selena nodded immediately and waved goodbye with an infatuated expression on her face.

When Harvey got to the elevator, Selena suddenly thought of something.

It would be a pity if she did not get his autograph when she finally met her idol!

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2542-Selena did not know if she would have such a good opportunity in the future.

She hurriedly caught up to Harvey and said excitedly and politely, "Will you give me an autograph first?"

Harvey froze for a moment. Then, he smiled with squinted eyes and nodded.

He took out the pen he carried with him and gestured.

Selena paused. She suddenly realized that she did not have any paper, so she looked at her white skirt with pity and stepped forward.

"Sign this. I’ll keep this skirt!"

Harvey nodded politely, lowered his head, and signed his name on her white skirt.

Selena smiled in satisfaction.

The elevator arrived and the doors opened slowly.

Harvey put the cap on the pen, stood upright, and smiled.

"Let's meet again next time. Julie gave me your phone number because I wanted to ask you to do a cameo in a movie."

"Me? You're too kind. It'll be my pleasure!"

Selena said excitedly. It was a rare opportunity to be able to appear on the same screen as her idol.

Harvey waved his hand and walked into the elevator with a smile.

Selena looked over and saw another man standing in the elevator. The man’s gaze was icy.

Eric looked at Selena with dark eyes. His figure was tall and straight, and he looked indifferent and noble.

Just standing there, Eric gave off an oppressive vibe.

He always had a lofty seriousness about him.

It made people feel distant from him.

When they were together, Selena was patient with him, but there was no longer a need for that.

They had broken up for three months, and Selena was doing better than she imagined.

To be free meant she had to give up on their relationship.

However, this price was worth it.

Four bodyguards stood behind Eric.

After Harvey got on the elevator, two bodyguards pushed Harvey aside to make way for Eric.

Eric walked out of the elevator without changing his expression. He withdrew his cold gaze from Selena and walked toward the large conference hall.

Selena regained her expression and looked toward Harvey.

Harvey waved at her, signaling that he was fine and that he would not take it to heart.

He went into the elevator without seeing who was inside earlier.

Afterward, Harvey vaguely felt that the man at the back looked familiar.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

Selena turned around and left.

She went back to the big conference hall.

Unexpectedly, Eric stood at the door and made a phone call before he went in.

The cigarette smoke at his fingertips drifted upward in wisps.

Eric responded to the person on the phone with a low voice, but his gaze landed on Selena.

He did not expect Selena to walk into the hall without raising her head.

It was as if she had not seen him at all.

Selena subconsciously rolled her eyes, but she had turned away from him, so she was sure that he did not see it.

However, the door was reflective.

Thus, Eric noticed how Selena rolled her eyes.

Eric was speechless and furious.

He stopped in his footsteps and did not follow her inside.

Eric only went in after he finished smoking that cigarette.

This time, a new group of people was in charge of negotiations. Thus, everyone's temper and attitude were much better than last time.

The professional negotiators had sufficient experience in dealing with such situations.

When it was Selena's turn, she stayed in the reception room. Her slot was at the same time as a store opposite her bar.

The boss of the store was a young lady who did not know how to negotiate. Thus, when bombarded with questions, the woman could only shake her head in embarrassment.

The negotiator noticed this and wanted to break through from her first.

Selena could not stand it anymore. She tapped on the table and said, "Just get to the point. You don't need to fool us with all this nonsense. I disagree with this price, so there's no need to talk about it if you can't meet my demands."

The young lady on the opposite side seemed to have found her support and nodded repeatedly.

The negotiators paused and finally focused on Selena.

'Ms. Nelson, we have learned that your bar has just been renovated. It is indeed a loss for you to agree to the demolition at this price. We have also applied to the upper management to compensate you for the renovation costs. What do you think?"

Selena paused. She remained silent for a few seconds and said calmly," It's your duty to compensate me, and I can't lose out. I'm still not satisfied with the price."

"Ms. Nelson, this price..."

Selena stretched out her hand and interrupted him. "Add another $6 million on top of this. Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss."

The other party was obviously taken aback.

Finally, he smiled bitterly. "Ms. Nelson..."

The other shop’s owner looked at Selena and said, "I agree."

Everyone knew how to ask for higher compensation.

Selena looked determined and cold.

"You can talk to your boss. I’ve done my research about this demolition.

The highest property value in the same area is this price. If I sell it, I'll naturally sell it at the highest price. Otherwise, how would I make money?"

Her words made the other party feel embarrassed and wary.

"Ms. Nelson, we need to think about it."

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded indifferently. “Of course."

She was halfway to success as long as they agreed to think about it.

As soon as the negotiator left, the young shop owner could not help but sigh.

"Selena, you're amazing for being so tough! My store is the only thing my parents left me. If I agree with such a cheap compensation, how would I find such a good location to open another store?"

Selena glanced at her and smiled.

"Don't worry, this kind of negotiation is actually not that scary. This is about your own interests, so why do you care about being polite? I'll even act like a shrew if needed!"

The shop owner nodded in appreciation.

Five minutes later, the negotiators returned.

The person walking at the back was Eric.

The person in front still sat in the main seat and looked at Selena with a smile.

"Ms. Nelson, we have discussed your request. Since you have just finished the renovation, and the cost is relatively high, we are willing to pay an extra $3 million."

Selena twitched the corner of her mouth.

She was clearly dissatisfied.

The man spoke again.

"However, we have two proposals for you. The first proposal is to add another $3 million to your compensation, but you will not be compensated for other matters in the future. The second proposal is that we won't pay you the $3 million. Instead, we can design a bar for you on the new site drawings. Ferguson Corporation will also undertake the reconstruction and renovation costs of the bar. Of course, we can also guarantee that there are no competing businesses. What do you think?"

Selena glanced at Eric casually. At a glance, she saw that Eric was looking at her.

The emotions in his eyes were indistinct.

Naturally, Selena was not so presumptuous to think that this was for her benefit.

She did not hesitate and said, "I just want money. Don't mention anything else."

The other party was obviously taken aback and wanted to continue to persuade her.

"Ms. Nelson, you have a regular source of customers, and your business is also very good. If your bar is rebuilt by our designer, it will definitely be on a higher level. It's not a loss for you to stay here."

Selena's eyes were cold. "I said, I want money."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2543=CairTrade

The other party fell silent and glanced anxiously at Eric, who was on the side.

Eric’s eyes were cold and sharp.

Selena had gotten over their breakup after not seeing each other for more than three months.

For a moment, Eric's heart clenched tightly.

It was painful.

There was a moment of silence.

The young store owner could not help but ask, 'Then can I also choose from $3 million and the new location? I want to choose the new location."

The negotiator smiled and shook his head.

"Although your shop and Ms. Nelson's bar are facing each other, the size and style are different. Your store isn’t within our new development scope, but we can give you an additional compensation of $500,000 which is enough for you to buy a new space.”

The young lady nodded regretfully.

She also understood these differentiating factors, which made sense.

Half a million dollars more was better than nothing.

Another man sitting opposite them who had been silent this whole time seemed to be staring at Selena.

Seeing this, the negotiator immediately took out the young lady's contract and handed it over.

"If you're satisfied with the proposal, please sign here. However, it needs to be kept secret because not everyone can get an additional $500,000 compensation like you. We just think that you have it harder than others because you're alone. You’re also honest, which isn't the case for others."

The young lady's eyes flashed, and she nodded in a daze.

Then, she took a pen and signed her name.

Everyone went out one after another to go through the formalities.

In the end, Selena and Eric were left in the reception room.

Eric stayed back on purpose.

His face was cold and unfriendly.

Eric had always been like this. When he did not deliberately conceal his sharpness and sternness, he seemed cold and unapproachable.

He was reserved.

Selena waited for a few minutes.

The negotiators did not come back with her contract.

She lost her patience and stood up with her phone.

Just when she was about to go out, the man behind her said in a nonchalant and deep voice, "It’s impossible for you to buy a bar with the same conditions in the same location for $3 million, so just pick the other option."

This was his concession.

He would not cheat her, even in the past.

Selena glanced sideways. "We're all adults here, Mr. Ferguson. I’ll make my own choices, and I'll also keep my promise."

Just like when he told her not to regret her choice of breaking up with him.

Yes, she had no regrets.

However, Eric regretted it.

Eric's expression became tense, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

In the end, Selena chose to get $4 million in compensation.

That was because she was dissatisfied with $3 million, but Ferguson Corporation did not agree with $6 million.

This was what Eric was like when he was talking about business.

The biggest concession he could make was to tell Selena her best option.

However, he would not take any losses either.

Thus, both sides compromised a bit and finalized on $4 million.

It would take a week for the money to arrive in Selena's account, but Selena was still cooperative and went through all the procedures.

Chaz reluctantly wrapped up everything in the bar.

He packed the stuff and his bags.

On the other hand, Selena acted like everything was normal and tidied up her things in a leisurely manner.

In the end, Chaz became a little anxious. "Boss, you don’t even have a home. Where will you put your things?"

Selena glanced at him lightly. "What’s the rush? There's still a month left before the relocation."

’You have to be prepared just in case. By the way, what about the employees' severance pay? Also, should we pack up these things and sell them so that we can recover some of the costs?"

Seeing Chaz chattering on, Selena could not help but smile.

"Chaz, I have my eye on a new location. The contract can be signed when the owner returns from abroad, which will be about half a month later. So, you don’t have to worry.”

Chaz was startled and ran over happily. "Really? Will I still be the bar manager?"

"Certainly."

Selena proudly raised her chin.

Chaz happily announced the good news to others.

Selena sighed.

She did not really like that new location because it was very close to the Nelson Residence.

If she opened her bar there, it would be easy to bump into the people she did not want to meet.

However, at this moment, that place was the most suitable one.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric returned to the office. The project progressed smoothly.

Although everyone disagreed at the beginning, the negotiators were very professional and had done research on different people.

Thus, they got through to everyone, and the results were promising.

When Eric returned, Mitchell saw Eric's blank face and knew that he had made no progress with Selena.

It would be weird if Eric made any progress!

Selena kept the skirt that Harvey signed and treasured it.

A few days later, Selena received a call from an unfamiliar number, so she hung up without thinking.

The number called again.

Seeing the caller's perseverance, Selena reluctantly picked it up.

"Who is this?"

"Ms. Nelson, I’m Harvey Sage. I promised to take you out, remember?"

The voice over the phone was clear and pleasant.

Selena was both surprised and delighted. "I remember! I’m really flattered that you called me!”

Harvey laughed. "Shall we go golfing if you have time this afternoon? A few actors and directors will be joining as well. They really want to work with you."

While Selena was excited, she was a little apprehensive.

"But I'm not in showbiz, and I don't plan to make a debut. Will it be awkward if I join you guys abruptly?"

"Of course not! I know you don’t plan to make a debut, but I want to ask you to play a cameo role for two minutes. You can take a look first. If you don’t want to, I’ll send you back. Okay?"

Harvey's voice was gentle, slow, and patient.

Selena could not refuse.

She did not ask Harvey to pick her up and drove to the clubhouse by herself.

Harvey informed the staff in advance, so Selena met with Harvey and his group without a hitch.

Harvey saw her and waved happily. Then, he dropped the things in his hand and walked over.

"Ms. Nelson, thanks for showing up!"

Selena was a little embarrassed. "You're welcome, Harvey."

Harvey took her arm smoothly, walked into the crowd, and introduced loudly.

"Our pretty lady is here!"

Everyone happily came over to say hello. They all looked casual and joyful.

Since Selena came across a good cast and script, she was hopeful for the new TV show.

Everyone was aware that Harvey had recommended someone to play a role in the TV show.

The female lead was an actress who recently became popular because of another TV show. She had a strong career woman persona and established herself as an open-minded and experienced actress.

The forty-year-old actress was still popular, and everyone suddenly showed an interest in this kind of self-reliant celebrity.

Moreover, she had good acting skills. Thus, she was not like the other dumb young actresses that had investors as their backers.

The protagonist of the TV show was the female lead, and the chosen male lead was not a popular young hunk. Instead, they chose Harvey, who had honed his acting skills for more than ten years.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2544 -Now, the tables turned, and he could have whatever he wanted. He had enough experience to play such a role.

The whole cast seemed very friendly.

Selena had no intention of entering the entertainment circle, and she came here for the sake of her idol.

During the chat, everyone also talked about the set.

Selena had not read the complete script, so she could not join in on the conversation and looked around.

This golf course was vast, and the air quality was great. The waiters drove golf carts to deliver food and water to the guests for fear of mistreating the big customers who came here.

When Selena raised her head, she suddenly saw a group of people walking toward her.

Selena narrowed her eyes.

The person walking in the front, who had everyone's attention, was Eric, right?

Eric looked quite decent. What a pity...

Before Selena finished complaining in her heart, the director behind her stood up excitedly and accidentally bumped into Selena's arm when he ran toward Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, it's really you! I'm planning to start a TV show. If you’re interested, I can explain to you in detail."

The director quickly went up to shake hands with Eric.

The people behind Eric could not help but laugh.

"Mr. Griffin, you really know how to coincide with us. We finally managed to get Mr. Ferguson out today, but you want to poach him from us?"

Mr. Griffin smiled embarrassedly. "I can't help it. I can't see him at all normally!"

This was the truth.

Although Eric invested a small amount in the entertainment industry, he had always disliked the entertainment circle.

Therefore, compared with other bigshots, Eric did not invest much in this industry.

However, the little bit of capital he invested was enough for the directors to do wonders.

Thus, everyone yearned for Eric’s investment.

If they could gain Eric’s favor, they would not have to worry about the popularity of their show.

Eric smiled perfunctorily and did not show much enthusiasm.

At a glance, he saw one of the people over there. His eyes flickered slightly.

"Is this your cast, Mr. Griffin?"

'Yes! Harvey has great acting skills and personality. Lara can capture audiences of different age groups, and the other supporting roles are very exciting. The cast I selected this time all have great acting skills and a clean background!”

Mr. Griffin strongly recommended his cast.

Eric pondered for a few seconds, then said in a gentle voice, "In that case, why don't we play together?"

He glanced back. Of course, the others agreed and had no objections.

One of them could not help but laugh and said, "Mr. Griffin, Mr. Ferguson is in a good mood today. Why don't you introduce your actors to us?"

"Certainly!"

Mr. Griffin followed Eric's group to the center of the crowd.

More than 20 people were actors who played relatively important roles in the show, except for Selena.

Other cameos and extras were absent.

"Come on, Mr. Ferguson. Let me introduce you. This is Lara. She debuted at the age of sixteen and became popular all over the country. I have always wanted to work with her."

Although Lara was in her forties, she looked like she was in her early thirties.

She was no longer in her prime. Her ex-husband was rich and powerful, so he was able to provide for her.

She had delicate facial features, and she looked charming. Her skin was well maintained without a trace of wrinkles, which was enviable.

Eric nodded politely.

Lara had quit the entertainment circle before. However, the netizens picked up the scandal that her ex-husband had a mistress, so everyone sympathized with her and hoped that she could stand up on her own again.

Her ex-husband’s career was not as good as before. Now that he cheated, Lara did not want to put up with him any longer, so she divorced him without hesitation.

After the divorce, everyone paid more attention to her.

Mr. Griffin said it nicely.

He only wanted to work with Lara to take advantage of her recent popularity in hopes of making this show a hit.

After a brief introduction, it was Selena’s turn. She was the most unremarkable of them all.

Fortunately, the director still respected Selena and introduced her as an important guest actress. He even praised her.

Everyone did not know about the relationship between Selena and Eric, but the director respected Harvey's recommendation.

Harvey recommended Selena, so she was not to be taken lightly.

Eric nodded and looked at Selena with a half-smile.

"Ms. Nelson, are you planning to change careers now and enter showbiz?"

The director paused.

After introducing so many people, Eric only nodded to Lara.

Thus, it was a surprise that Eric talked to Selena.

Selena pursed her lips and did not want others to notice that she had a special relationship with Eric. Thus, she smiled politely.

"No, this is just for fun."

"Is it fun?" Eric's eyes darkened, and his voice was deep.

Selena had a slight change in expression. She glanced at Eric and regained her composure.

"Mr. Ferguson, you don’t seem to be busy.”

Her retort obviously showed her dislike for Eric's meddling.

Eric was wasting his energy on her.

Everyone was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Eric did not get angry. He looked at her like she was a mischievous child who lost her temper.

He was tolerant and calm with her.

Eric raised his eyebrows. "I'm indeed not busy. Mr. Griffin, why don’t we play together?"

Mr. Griffin could not ask for more.

He immediately changed his tune. "Ms. Nelson, let's go together. Harvey, why don't you guide the newbies?"

Mr. Griffin did not mind that Selena had a temper. It was cute for a woman to have an attitude.

It seemed that Eric was also aware of this.

That was why he did not care about Selena's retort.

Harvey nodded and walked over with a smile.

"Ms. Nelson, shall we go play golf?"

Selena smiled. "I don't know how. You guys can play. I'll watch."

She did not know how to play this rich people's sport.

Harvey did not look down on her and said with a smile.

"That's alright. I'm not good at it, but I can teach you how to get started. That's if you don't mind..."

"Sure!"

Selena smiled.

Harvey was not arrogant and was more approachable than other movie stars.

The two of them went to a route not far away.

Everyone saw that Mr. Griffin had followed Eric, so everyone was free to do their own thing.

Harvey was a good teacher. He was very polite and professional in the way he taught her and looked at her.

Selena missed several shots. Instead of getting angry and anxious, Harvey smiled and comforted her.

"It's okay. It's a good shot. At least, you can feel the wind speed."

Selena also gradually relaxed from her nervous mood.

She talked and laughed with Harvey and almost forgot about the other man nearby.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2545 -Soon, Lara came over, smiled, and looked at Harvey for a while.

"Harvey, you're really good at teaching. Can you teach me too?"

Harvey was a little shocked. "Lara, you don't know how to play golf?"

Lara smiled helplessly.

"No. I usually just watch other people play."

Harvey pursed his lips and glanced at Selena. Selena was not at all upset and she said with a smile, "I think I got the hang of it, so I can practice by myself. Harvey, you should teach Lara."

Harvey paused. Before he agreed, Lara had already walked over.

"How do you hold the golf club? Like this?"

Lara smoothly shifted Harvey’s attention from Selena to herself.

Harvey had no choice but to go forward to help.

She held the golf club and adjusted her posture while talking to Harvey, making people forget about Selena's existence for a moment.

Following that, every time Harvey planned to check on

Selena, Lara would find a way to stop him. 2

Selena was not so dull that she could not notice this.

When Selena first arrived, Lara acted like a caring sister in front of everyone and treated her no differently from everyone.

However, Selena suddenly noticed another side of Lara.

Selena felt that she was not a sensitive person, but as a woman, she had an intuition.

Did Lara like Harvey?

Lara was more than five years older than Harvey!

Selena put down her gold club and went to the lounge chair to take a seat and drink some water.

After drinking half a bottle of water, the director took Eric and another big shot to see Harvey.

Lara could not get involved in the conversation. Although the netizens liked her, the investors looked down on her.

Since they ignored her, Lara excused herself to sit in the lounge chair.

Lara greeted Selena with a smile, sat there, and sighed.

"Am I stupid? I can't seem to get the hang of it..."

Selena was taken aback. Then, she smiled politely.

"Of course not! I’m stupid too!"

Lara was old, but she was still so phony.

The best way to defeat phony people was to become even more fake than her.

Sure enough, Lara’s smile froze. She turned to look at Selena.

Selena flashed a gorgeous and innocent smile that was as bright as the sun.

Lara was frustrated.

This was the advantage of being young. No matter how Selena smiled, she had no wrinkles on her face, and her smile was so beautiful.

Unlike Lara, who had to pay attention to the curvature of her smile for fear of leaving marks on her face.

Lara twitched the corners of her lips with a half-smile.

She said in a clear and hoarse voice, "Ms. Nelson, are you also a fan of Harvey? He has a lot of fans. I have a little sister who likes Harvey very much. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a chance to meet him."

Selena was a little surprised.

These actors filmed together every day, so why could her sister not visit the set?

It was strange to hear this.

Before Selena could ask about it, Lara chuckled softly.

"Let’s not talk about her. If Harvey's fans find out that you'll have a cameo appearance as a fan, I’m afraid it’ll cause a riot. You're really lucky, Ms. Nelson!"

Selena paused. She was startled.

Soon, Selena came to her senses and smiled. "I guess that's the benefit of being a fan, and I'm one of the lucky ones.

After all, it’s rare for an idol to love their fans as much as Harvey does. His fans should be happy."

Lara was taken aback for a moment. Her smile deepened.

"It's great that you think so, Ms. Nelson. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. By the way, I watched the movie that you made an appearance in last time. The main characters were interesting, but unfortunately, they were upstaged by the supporting characters. Your acting skills aren't bad.

You're quite a natural."

Selena frowned.

She understood that Lara was deliberately targeting her, saying that she stole the limelight from others and that her acting skills were mediocre.

How did Selena offend Lara?

Selena did not understand. This was obviously the first time they met.

However, she was not worried because she did not come here for Lara.

Selena would listen to her feedback and disregard her criticism.

She stood up and wanted to walk toward Harvey.

"Harvey..."

Before Selena could take a few steps, Lara, who was behind her, walked over first.

Lara was not as indifferent as before and plastered a smile on her face.

"Harvey, are you done talking to them? Shall we continue playing?"

Selena was speechless.

The entertainment industry really was not easy.

It was much more difficult than managing a bar!

Selena was even more determined. After this cameo appearance, she would bid farewell to the entertainment circle.

The people who were talking over there looked over. Mr. Griffin patted Harvey on the shoulder and looked at Selena, who came over, and beckoned to her.

"Ms. Nelson, come here."

Selena walked over with a smile.

Mr. Griffin probably had a good chat with Eric because his whole face was radiant.

He looked happier than winning the jackpot.

Mr. Griffin turned his head and continued, "Although there is a romance between the elder woman and the younger guy in this show, there's no need to spread rumors about the couple outside the show. You must have seen how picky fans were about the choice of romantic couples in shows, so we shouldn't take risks."

When Lara heard this, she was slightly taken aback and smiled slightly with her head down.

The director implied that Lara and Harvey did not look like a well-matched couple.

They did not look good together.

Fortunately, both main characters were exceptionally brilliant, so they would still get a lot of fans even if they did not spread dating rumors.

Lara listened to the director with a smile and nodded from time to time without any objection.

Mr. Griffin was satisfied with her reaction. Finally, he looked at Harvey.

"Okay, let's continue playing."

Mr. Griffin paused. "Ms. Nelson, do you know how to play golf? Why don't I find someone to teach you?"

Selena was taken aback and was about to refuse when Eric, who was next to the director, suddenly said, "It’s fine, I can teach her."

Selena quickly refused. 'There's no need to trouble you, Mr. Ferguson."

She would rather not play.

Eric smiled. "It's no trouble. Let’s go."

After that, he left first without giving Selena a chance to object.

Mr. Griffin, who was next to Eric, was stunned. He went up to her and asked her in a low voice, "Are you familiar with Mr. Ferguson?"

Selena immediately shook her head.

"I don’t know him."

Mr. Griffin nodded. "Okay. Since you don't know him, you can get to know him. He’s our biggest investor now, and you're also one of the cast, so you have to entertain him on my behalf!"

As he spoke, he gave her a push and said with a smile, "Go on then."

Mr. Griffin looked at her with a smile that formed wrinkles all over his face. He was in a good mood.

Harvey looked at them and frowned slightly with an indistinct expression.

"Mr. Griffin, why don't I teach Selena? I brought her here in the first place."

Mr. Griffin glared at him.

"What are you afraid of? What else can he do in broad daylight? Besides, we’re all on the same golf course with a distance of less than 200 meters away from each other. We can definitely hear her if she shouts. Is it necessary to kick up a fuss and anger our investor?”

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2546-Harvey paused, and Selena quickly said, "It’s okay, Harvey. I'll go over and say hello, then I’ll come back to you later."

As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around, not wanting to put Harvey in a difficult position.

Mr. Griffin said a few more words to Harvey before turning around and following Selena.

Lara, who was next to Harvey, squinted her eyes and looked at Harvey suspiciously.

"Are Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson not acquainted with each other? They don’t look like they're strangers!"

Selena dared to diss Eric before, and now, Eric even wanted to teach Selena golf.

This could only mean that Eric was interested in Selena. Eric either knew Selena from the beginning or perhaps he wanted to get to know her.

Harvey recalled that Selena left the banquet last time, and Eric chased after her.

At that time, Harvey did not think much about it. Now that he thought about it, it seemed odd.

However, this was not the basis for him to discuss Selena's private affairs behind her back.

He smiled and said with a relaxed tone, "I don’t know. Shall we continue?"

"Okay..."

Selena stood there with her arms folded. She looked at Eric lightly.

"Eric, what do you want? I told you that we should pretend not to know each other in public. Why are you looking for me?"

Eric swung the club with an exemplary posture and scored a hole-in-one.

He was standing straight and tall and looked lean and clean. His daily exercise routine was not in vain.

Selena used to be deeply fascinated by his figure.

However, she was quick to forget about him and was not addicted to anything.

Selena just wanted to take this opportunity to clarify with Eric.

Eric paused. He looked so handsome, and his voice was a little nonchalant and relaxed.

"I didn't say I knew you, nor did I ask you out alone. Who here will suspect us?"

His light tone hit her heart.

He smiled faintly and sounded a little cold.

"Besides, what is our relationship? I thought you'd gotten over it. I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly."

Selena's chest was slightly stuffy.

Eric's light questioning tone seemed to contain a bit of grievance.

Did he feel wronged?

How ridiculous!

"You're right. We have nothing to do with each other. I’m leaving then."

Selena turned to leave.

Eric suddenly reached out to grab her arm and pulled her into his embrace.

His warm and faint scent smelled good.

The sudden familiarity made Selena feel dazed for a moment.

Eric's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he forcibly restrained her struggles.

"Don’t move, or others will see us. Then, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

He seemed to be more afraid of not being able to explain their relationship than she was.

Selena paused and calmed herself.

Eric stuffed the golf club into her hand and hugged her from behind.

He was really teaching her how to play.

However, only he knew that his mind was straying. Her delicate skin was so familiar to him, which made his heart settle down after more than three months.

It was like he found an oasis in a desert.

It felt like she still belonged to him.

Selena did not dare to move around, lest others would find out that the two of them were arguing. If so, some rumors would definitely spread.

Thus, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

His gaze was fixed on her side profile, which was delicate and succulent. She was even more gorgeous and brighter than before.

She used to be a dazzling rose with thorns, which did not stop people from admiring her beauty.

Selena aimed at the hole and stood in the proper posture.

However, Eric did not move at all. He did not plan to do anything.

She stared at him eagerly.

"Hurry up. You can let me go too, then I’ll play by myself!"

Eric was only going to drag her down.

Eric took a deep breath, held Selena's hand tightly, and swung his club hard.

The ball went into the hole as if it had eyes.

Selena was shocked when she saw it.

When she was practicing with Harvey just now, they were helpless and thought that it was very difficult.

How did Eric aim the golf ball so easily?

The man seemed to be unsurprised and loosened his grip slightly.

Mr. Griffin rushed over and applauded.

"I knew that Ms. Nelson just needs a good teacher. Ms. Nelson, you’ve got a good bargain! Mr. Ferguson is a master of golf. All of us can’t beat him!"

Eric chuckled. He was very satisfied with the compliment.

It was not at all an exaggeration.

Selena did not want to disrespect him in front of others, so she just smiled faintly.

"When I play cards, I’m also too embarrassed to beat my boss!"

She implied that other people let Eric win on purpose just to get in his good graces.

Mr. Griffin laughed loudly.

"You're wrong, Ms. Nelson. Mr. Ferguson is really good at golf. He doesn't need us to give in. Even if we put all our

energy into the game, there is no way we can win against him."

Eric looked at Selena coldly.

He seemed dissatisfied with how she looked down on him.

Selena swung the golf club in her hand indifferently.

Over there, Harvey and Lara were going separate ways too.

Harvey taught Lara several times, but she never succeeded.

Harvey was helpless, so he could only blame it on his teaching skills and wanted to find a professional coach for Lara.

Lara agreed so that Harvey could not see through her intentions.

Harvey went to the other side to rest, while Lara was still standing there practicing.

However, it was clear she was bored and uninterested in golf.

Another actress called Lara, and Lara happily found an excuse to leave.

"Come on, Ms. Nelson. Let's continue."

Eric looked at Selena seriously.

Selena's eyes widened. Was this not over yet?

Mr. Griffin nodded at the side. "Mr. Ferguson is very patient. If it were me, I wouldn't want to teach a newbie..."

Eric stood up helplessly and chuckled lightly.

"I don't have a choice. Since we have already started, we should end it on a good note.”

Selena pursed her lips.

If Mr. Griffin was not here, Selena would definitely walk away.

However, if she left when Mr. Griffin was around, everyone would definitely doubt their relationship.

Some of Eric's friends were also teaching the other cast members how to play.

Thus, Eric and Selena did not look out of place.

"Ms. Nelson, seize this opportunity! If you hire a personal coach, you'll be charged by the hour. Moreover, you won't be able to find a coach with Mr. Ferguson's skill!"

Selena walked over and took the golf club with a half-smile.

Just as Eric was about to come up to hold her hand, Selena took a step back.

"Mr. Ferguson, you’ve taught me well just now. I want to try it myself."

Eric paused, then took a step back.

"Okay, go ahead.”

Selena breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she got into a stance that Eric and Harvey taught her earlier.

She had to aim and make sure her arms were straight.

Then, she swung the club hard.

The ball missed the hole and rolled off to the side.

Mr. Griffin could not help but laugh out loud. He did not care about Selena's feelings.

Eric also smiled but did not laugh out loud as a show of respect.

For a moment, Selena wished that she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Eric's friend was next to them, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Ferguson, since the kid you taught missed the hole, you have to pick up the ball!”

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2547-Eric did not hesitate and ran over by himself. He did not ask the caddy to pick up the golf ball.

Mr. Griffin's shocked smile faded.

He looked at Eric mysteriously, then at Selena.

"You two really don’t know each other?"

Selena shook her head.

She would not admit it no matter what.

Mr. Griffin nodded knowingly. "I think he’s interested in you! You should be careful and don't agree to it so easily.

Although Mr. Ferguson is rich, he's not kind to women. Only agree to it if you want his money, but if you don't, forget it.

Harvey is a better choice!" 1

Mr. Griffin had a lot of experience and got the gist of the situation in just a few sentences.

Selena looked at Mr. Griffin in surprise.

The small old man looked shrewd and obsequious as he wanted to be in his investor's good graces.

However, he gave her such advice.

Was he not afraid of offending Eric?

Selena's heart felt warm.

At first, Selena thought that Mr. Griffin had some bad

intentions when he forced her to play golf with Eric.

Selena knew she was overthinking it now.

She lowered her head and swung the golf club because she did not want Eric to come back and wanted him to continue picking up the golf balls.

Thus, she took another swing.

As a result...

Eric knelt on the ground with one knee and covered the upper half of his face.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic.

Eric's friends immediately called for an ambulance and the doctor.

Selena also froze slightly. Her face turned pale.

She did not know how her second shot had gone in that direction, and the ball happened to hit Eric's forehead or eyes.

Then, Eric kneeled on the ground in pain.

Oh, crap!

Selena's heart twitched in pain. What if his eyeballs fell off?

She regretted playing golf now.

Mr. Griffin slapped his thigh and yelled, "Oh no! Oh no!"

He pulled Selena's arm and ran over there.

"Even if you don't want to be with him, you can't just hit him! That’s Eric Ferguson!" ?

Selena was speechless.

She was not so petty that she would hit someone just because she was not interested in him.

The time she slapped Eric was the most serious assault she committed on him.

Mr. Griffin shouted while he ran over.

"Mr. Ferguson, are you okay? Come, come, I'll carry you on my back!"

Mr. Griffin wanted nothing more than to enslave himself to Eric so that Eric could calm down.

If Eric got angry, he would no longer invest in the movie that they negotiated earlier.

Mr. Griffin would lose everything.

However, Mr. Griffin did not have to carry Eric as the shuttle was already there.

Eric was helped to the car by his friend. Mr. Griffin wanted to get in the car but was stopped.

Eric paused and pointed to the bewildered woman next to Mr. Griffin.

"Let her follow. You guys can continue to play."

"Will that be okay?"

Eric covered the right side of his face, which was pale. His voice sounded strained.

"Stop talking nonsense.”

Seeing this, Eric’s friend thought that Eric would not let that woman get away with what she did.

They glanced at Selena sympathetically and finally got out of the shuttle.

Mr. Griffin took Selena's hand as if he regarded her as his cast.

"Selena, please take good care of Mr. Ferguson and make sure he calms down. We're willing to show our sincerity and repay Mr. Ferguson with an excellent production!"

Eric was speechless.

In the end, Selena was pushed onto the shuttle. Selena, Eric, and the driver were the only ones on the shuttle.

Selena sat there awkwardly and did not know what to do.

Eric was not in the mood to joke with her. He just covered his right eye, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging slightly.

"Eric, are you alright?"

Selena asked cautiously.

If she had not missed, she would not have had anything to do with him.

But what if he goes blind?

Selena recalled the time when she surfed the internet and saw the various minor accidents that cause blindness.

Removal of the eyeball was due to a major accident.

She felt pressured. How could she bear such consequences?

Indeed, Eric’s net worth was much more valuable than hers.

Eric endured the pain and took a deep breath.

"Selena."

"Hm?"

"Did you do this on purpose? Is slapping me not enough that you want to hit me harder? Now, you finally found a good opportunity, huh?"

Eric gritted his teeth.

Other than that, he could not think of any other reason.

Selena felt ashamed. She did not lose her temper and just sat there, at a loss for what to do.

"No, I didn't mean it. I wanted to hit the ball on the ground, but the ball somehow flew up."

Selena hit the ball too hard.

Otherwise, Eric would not be in such pain.

Eric remained silent for a moment.

Perhaps he did not believe her words.

Selena felt wronged and sat there.

Soon, the shuttle arrived at the lounge.

The doctor was already there waiting.

Only then did Eric let go of the hand that was covering his face.

When Selena saw it, her heart turned cold.

Eric's entire right eye was bruised, and blood was oozing out from the corner of his eye. The injury looked extremely serious.

The man’s face was gloomy and cold, but he still looked handsome and cold as he endured the pain.

At this moment, Eric sat there miserably and was surrounded.

Soon, the doctor came out.

"Mr. Ferguson, go to the hospital right away. The degree of damage to your eyeball must be checked immediately. You mustn't delay this."

The manager of the golf club panicked.

If someone like Eric got into an accident here, the club would probably go bankrupt.

The person in charge immediately looked at the woman who followed Eric, thinking she was one of Eric's entourage.

"Miss, please contact the hospital immediately. We will

send Mr. Ferguson there."

Selena was stunned for a moment. She was also a little scared. She nodded and frantically went to get her phone which was in her bag.

In a panic, her things accidentally fell out of the bag.

Selena bent down to pick it up, but someone acted faster than her.

Eric picked up her lipstick, stuffed it into her palm, and squeezed her palm. Then, he stood up and said with a cold and indifferent voice, "Why are you all panicking? I'm not dead yet."

Selena calmed down and raised her eyes to look at him.

Then, she stuffed the lipstick into her bag and took out her phone to call Mitchell.

Mitchell understood the situation after two or three sentences. He immediately hung up the call to get in touch with the hospital and other personnel.

Selena turned to tell the person in charge the name of the hospital.

The person in charge immediately arranged a car and planned to go with Eric.

"You don’t have to go. We can talk about the rest later."

Eric's voice was cold.

The person in charge was stunned but nodded.

He dared not disobey Eric.

After Eric finished speaking, he rubbed his left eye with his left hand. Then, he reached out to grab something in the air.

The doctor hastily said, "Mr. Ferguson, your retina and nerves are connected. When your right eye is injured, your left eye may be affected too. Please don't rub your eyes. If you feel uncomfortable, just close your eyes."

Eric paused slightly. His throat moved, and he responded with a nod. He put down his hand and had a solemn and cold expression.

He stood upright and tilted his head slightly.

"Selena?"

Selena was taken aback, not realizing how gentle his tone was. 1

She immediately reached out and grabbed his arm. Then, she put the other hand on his back, gently supporting him to walk forward.

Eric was very cooperative. He did not say anything and followed her.

From an outsider’s perspective, Eric and Selena had a special relationship. i

However, it was not a big deal for Eric to have multiple women by his side. 2

No one took notice of it.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2548 -The car was parked not far away.

Selena took the initiative to open the car door and even used her hand to block the car frame to ensure that Eric would not hit it by accident when he got into the car.

Then, Selena went to the other side and got in the car quickly. The driver left without asking questions and sped away.

Eric did not let go of his hand, and Selena did not say a word.

She was worried and scared.

Selena was not afraid that she would get entangled with him again. She was afraid that she had destroyed such an outstanding person.

How could such a proud and indifferent man be ruined by her?

Selena loathed herself for her carelessness.

She went too far and did not pay attention to his safety at all.

Now that this happened, Selena was frustrated and regretful.

Eric probably felt her trembling, so he reached out his hand and pinched Selena's arm. His voice was hoarse but restrained.

"Are you nervous? Don't be scared. Luckily, you're not the one who is injured. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the pain. Don't worry. I won't blame you or hold you responsible."

His words silenced her for a moment.

It seemed to have punctured her worried thoughts.

It was embarrassing.

Looking at it now, Selena thought that she was extremely childish and ridiculous.

She should not be afraid of these things.

How could Eric think so thoroughly?

Selena choked up, but she did not want him to hear it.

"I'm sorry..."

Eric pursed his lips and did not speak.

The driver knew the seriousness of the matter and ran through two red lights along the way without hesitation. He went straight to the emergency room of the hospital.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital, but Mitchell was not there yet.

Thus, Selena handled the formalities.

She panicked, but she managed to calm herself down.

Selena had not been so anxious since she went abroad to flee from Derek Norton.

In the first few years, Derek Norton was constantly abusing her. Sometimes, when she heard his footsteps, she would habitually tremble in fear.

Escaping was her last act of courage.

Selena managed to escape from that marriage, i

At this moment, that fear flooded into her heart again and spread to all corners of her body.

She almost lost all her strength, but she had to drag her numb body to complete the procedures as required.

After she finished everything, she sat upright by the door of the emergency room and waited.

Time had never felt so long.

During this time, Selena ran through all her past experiences, from her divorce to the present.

Eric had been supporting her and pushing her forward.

He was the most important person in her life.

However, she still decided to give up on him.

Did she regret it?

No.

But if she had to do it all over again, she probably could not bear to give up on Eric, i

Selena thought that she deserved to die for dumping him and hurting him like this.

If Eric beat her, scolded her, and taunted her, she would not have felt so bad.

However, Eric taught her to play golf and even went to pick up the ball for her.

The kind of guilt that was brewing in her heart was indescribable.

It felt as if she was repaying his kindness with revenge.

Selena's eyes burned. She felt that she had gone too far.

If Eric really could not keep his eyeballs, what could she do to make it upto him?

Soon, Mitchell rushed over.

"Ms. Nelson, how is it?"

Selena sniffled and shook her head.

"He's still inside."

"What happened? Mr. Ferguson has always been great at golfing."

Selena lowered her head in shame.

Then, she told him everything that happened.

Mitchell was speechless.

He did not even know who to blame!

Obviously, Eric tried to chase Selena, but he failed miserably.

Seeing how guilty Selena was, Mitchell patted her on the shoulder.

"Don’t take it to heart. Mr. Ferguson won't blame you."

Selena was speechless.

It was because of this that she felt even worse! 2

Mitchell waited with her for more than half an hour.

However, he had to leave temporarily because there were many things to do at the office.

He had one phone call after another.

Thus, Mitchell looked at Selena.

"Ms. Nelson, I'll leave Mr. Ferguson to you. Please call me if you need anything. Something happened in the office, and Mr. Ferguson isn't around, so I have to go over and check it out in person."

Selena nodded.

"Go ahead. I’ll be right here."

Mitchell thanked her again and left in a hurry.

Twenty minutes later, Eric finally came out of the emergency room, but he was in a coma.

Selena ran over.

"Eric..."

As soon as she spoke, her tears came out uncontrollably.

She could not hold them back.

Eric’s right eye was wrapped in gauze, and his whole face looked grotesque with blood stains on the edges.

He looked indescribably miserable.

Such an excellent man suddenly became a disabled person.

How could she accept it?

Selena felt that she was his damned executioner.

She felt so guilty.

Selena hated crying the most, but she began to cry uncontrollably. 1

Seeing this, the doctor on the side wanted to say something. However, he did not say much because the patient’s condition was critical.

In the VIP ward, the doctor set up the equipment for Eric before he went out of the ward with everyone else.

After Selena went out, she could not help but ask, "Doctor, how is he?"

"Mr. Ferguson's eyeball sustained a big impact, and the retinal nerve was injured, so he had symptoms of bleeding. This is not ideal and may affect his vision in the near future. He has to try not to strain his eyes. If his left eye's vision is also blurred, he will probably need to remove his eyes... But we'll need to look at his symptoms for further plans."

Selena gasped, and her face turned pale.

It really happened...

Her heart sank at once.

It fell into an abyss.

The doctor told Selena a few precautions and left with the others.

All they had to do now was wait.

The patient's reaction was relatively slow because of the anesthesia just now.

Thus, they had to wait for Eric to wake up before they could do other check-ups.

Selena sat there sluggishly and felt cold all over.

Eric was such a proud, reckless, high, and mighty person. Now, he was lying half dead on the hospital bed and waiting for the doctors to declare his future.

He must be so frightened and helpless!

However, when they were on the shuttle earlier, Eric was reassuring Selena not to be afraid.

Fortunately, she was not the one who was injured. Otherwise, she would have been in unbearable pain.

Selena could not figure out why Eric had to say these words to tease her heart when she had given up on him.

It made her firm mental defenses falter again.

However, Selena could not tell whether he was teasing her.

Perhaps he was just blurting out his sincerity.

Selena knew that Eric was the kind of person who refused to

admit defeat because he would not allow others to go against his wishes.

At the same time, he would not allow others to hurt his people.

Was she important to him?

Selena covered her face and silently shook as warm tears overflowed from her eyes.

She did not understand.

Eric saved her from her dirty marriage.

He should be her salvation, but she dragged him to hell and made him like this.

Selena would rather Eric be the proud and reckless man for the rest of his life.

The more Selena thought about it, the sadder she became. She felt as if a boulder smashed onto her chest.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2549-Mitchell sent Selena a message and asked her to stay with Eric for a while. He would send someone to take her place soon.

Selena did not want to leave.

She wanted to stay and take care of Eric herself.

Earlier, she was forced to help, but now, she was not.

In just a few hours, her mentality changed.

Selena looked at the man lying on the bed with half of his face covered in gauze and felt an aching bitterness in her heart.

Eric’s exquisite eyebrows and eyes were no longer visible. Only that gory scar was left.

He might not be able to see anything in the future.

Eric would no longer be so proud and flamboyant, and some people would mock him for being blind.

This was all her fault.

Selena took a deep breath.

Mitchell asked someone to deliver food to her, but she did not eat it after getting it. She just sat on the chair and watched Eric.

She looked at him carefully and conscientiously traced every inch of his face.

Eric's brow bones were cold and rigid, which made him look unapproachable.

However, he was soft-hearted. He would agree if someone said a few nice words to him.

Eric was not a bad guy. He just would not say anything nice. 1

Selena blinked. She knew him so well. Why was she unwilling to continue their relationship?

It was probably because of the possessive desire in her heart that wanted Eric to belong to her only because she liked him.

Since he liked her, he should also give her the same affection.

That was only fair.

However, Selena forgot that their relationship was not equal from the beginning.

Thus, she never looked at his stern face carefully. That was because she was afraid that when she peeked at him, he would suddenly open his eyes and see through her thoughts.

What she feared most was being so humble when liking someone.

Thus, she would rather give up on this relationship than get entangled in her feelings.

Selena was such a carefree and easygoing person because she was afraid of losing everything.

She had nothing but self-esteem, i

Therefore, she could not lose it. She did not want to be underestimated by the person she liked.

Selena should not have hurt him. What she said on the day of the breakup was too hurtful.

Now, Selena felt like a heinous villain.

Selena took a deep breath, got up, and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel to wipe Eric's hands.

Forget it. She would never be able to pay off the debt she owed him in this life.

The night was approaching. It was pitch black outside. Occasionally, the sound of cars passing by on the road could be heard.

Selena did not feel sleepy at all.

She thought about many things that night.

When she was by his side, she was truly happy, but she was also uneasy.

She did not want to think too much, but the steady breathing of the man next to her made her tremble inexplicably.

Selena decided not to leave even if Eric lost his temper when he woke up and realized his critical condition.

The next morning, Mitchell came to deliver breakfast and asked about Eric's situation in the meantime.

Selena told him in a daze. Mitchell nodded and went to the doctor again.

When Mitchell returned to the ward, Eric had just woken up.

Eric's face was gloomy and a bit bewildered. He wanted to get off the bed, but he accidentally bumped into the foot of the bed and made a muffled sound.

His complexion paled instantly, and he struggled to stand up. He did not say a word.

When Selena saw this, her heart ached.

Eric did not even want to speak because he was afraid that others would see him as a mess.

However, they all saw him.

Selena was silent for a moment. The guilt in her heart increased.

Mitchell paused, knocked on the door, walked in, and grabbed Eric's arm.

"Mr. Ferguson, it's me."

Eric was slightly taken aback. Then, his expression relaxed.

"How's the situation?"

Mitchell said quietly, "It’s not great. The retina of your left eye is affected, so it's normal that you can't see at the moment. Try not to use your eyes for the time being. I have already contacted the Swiss experts, and they'll come over to give you a comprehensive examination soon."

Eric responded without much panic or fear.

He thought it was just the two of them in the room.

Eric knew Selena's temper and thought that she had left long ago because she would be worried that he would find fault with her.

He smiled wryly, and his voice was low.

"Go to the golf club and tell them that although Selena caused my injury, I won't hold her accountable. Stop the golf club from going after her."

If a guest was injured at the club, the club had an indirect duty to protect the guest.

If the guest was injured, the club could not shirk off their responsibility.

According to their ingratiating nature, they would try their best to appease Eric first. Then, they would go after the person who caused Eric's injury.

The transfer of blame had always been their forte.

That way, they could keep their reputation and act responsibly.

Mitchell nodded. When he remembered that Eric could not see, he immediately responded, "Don't worry, Mr. Ferguson.

I will make arrangements."

He glanced at Selena and hesitated to speak.

Then, he looked at Eric. "Let me find a nurse to take care of you. It'll be more convenient that way. I'll also call you to talk about the company’s affairs."

Eric pondered for a while and knew that this was the best way.

The room was silent.

After Mitchell left, Eric sat on the chair by the window with a desolate look on his face. He sighed softly.

Half of his face was still covered, so he looked extraordinarily fragile at this time.

Half of him was tough, while the other half was fragile.

All incongruities appeared on Eric.

This was a scene that Selena never thought she could see in her life.

At this thought, Selena took a breath and gently pushed the door open to walk in.

Eric had a sharp hearing and turned his head slightly. He said in a somewhat cold tone, "Are you the nurse that

Mitchell hired? You're not allowed to come in without my orders."

He had always been resistant to strangers being around him.

Selena paused but still walked in.

Eric's expression tightened. Just as he was about to say something, Selena put her hand on his shoulder.

"It’s me."

As soon as Selena spoke, Eric froze for a moment. He quickly eased his expression and looked a little gentler.

'You're here? Didn’t you leave?"

Eric was happy.

Selena pursed her lips and responded, "Eric, I'm sorry."

Her apology was frail and useless. She knew that apologizing after making a mistake was hypocritical and disgusting.

However, she did not know what to do now. How could she compensate him?

Eric woke up early in the morning and still remembered to ask Mitchell to help Selena first.

Eric smiled and held her hand that was on his shoulder. His cold and rigid face softened.

"Well, I know you didn't mean to do this, so you don't have to blame yourself."

No matter how angry she was, she could slap him to vent her anger.

Even if Selena had bad intentions, it would not be as bad as Cindy's man-made accidents that almost took Eric's life.

Selena would not do this.

She did not withdraw her hand and paused.

"I already told Mitchell that I will be your nurse and take care

of you until you recover."

Eric raised his chin slightly. The corners of his lips tightened instantly.

He seemed pleasantly surprised by the news.

"It will be hard for you, but I'm glad to hear this."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2550 -Eric's voice was a little hoarse.

Selena gently placed her forehead on Eric's head and hugged him gently from behind.

"Eric, don't be afraid. You'll be fine once the foreign experts arrive." i

Eric’s heart was cold, but at this moment, some warmth seeped into it.

Her soft voice and body made him feel relaxed.

This way, his injury did not seem so unacceptable.

If he had known from the beginning that she would be soft-hearted when he was hurt, he would have let her slap him a few more times to vent her anger, i

Eric thought that he should not have left so early.

Eric's mind suddenly went to other places.

His throat moved slightly.

He seemed a little thirsty.

"Selena..."

Can we get back together?

He wanted to ask this question, but he was afraid to hear her refusal.

Eric knew very well that the reason for his restlessness during this time was her.

He could not let her go. He was just used to the most miserable people in the world hugging each other for warmth.

Once Selena left, he could not get used to it.

Selena paused. Her mind was in a mess.

She did not know if they would be able to get back together and hold no grudges against each other. 1

If not, they would grow apart sooner or later.

Thus, Selena did not immediately follow his wishes.

The outside light shone in. It was a little too bright.

Thus, Selena got up and went to close the curtains.

Then, she glanced at him and went to get the breakfast that Mitchell brought over.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat first. The checkup is postponed until the specialists arrive."

There was no doubt about Mitchell's efficiency.

Eric's private jet was ready to bring the specialists over.

Breakfast was a vegetable salad, sandwich, and a bowl of oatmeal.

Selena knew that Eric liked bland food, so she took the sandwich and put the oatmeal in front of Eric.

Then, she handed him the spoon.

Eric fumbled for the spoon and groped the table with his other hand.

His big hands were slender, beautiful, strong, and powerful, like a work of art.

While Selena was in a daze, Eric put his hand on the bowl and accidentally pushed it over.

The hot oatmeal spilled on his hands at once.

Eric winced and withdrew his hand abruptly.

Selena stood up immediately, put her arm around his waist, and helped him to the bathroom.

Fortunately, Selena had already moved all the chairs in the room so that they would not accidentally bump into them again.

She washed his hands with cold water, and the corners of Eric's lips softened slightly.

"I'm okay."

He patted Selena's hand with his other hand and soothed her gently.

Selena suddenly choked up. It felt as if someone had gently scratched her heart, i

It was not painful, but extremely uncomfortable.

Eric could hear Selena sobbing and withdrew his hand to hug her shoulders.

"Selena, it's okay. It doesn't hurt at all, really. Don't worry." i

His gentle words seemed to smooth the wrinkles in her heart.

The aloof Eric seldom bent down to comfort her. Selena could not control her emotions and felt scared.

What if Eric really went blind? 1

Selena did not push him away. She leaned on his shoulder and cried quietly for a while before she pushed him away.

The oatmeal was not very hot, so he had no burns.

After rinsing it off, Selena took Eric’s hand and went out.

Selena took the food to the table outside, took his hand, and sat down.

"Sit down. I'll feed you." 1

Eric paused and seemed a little nervous.

They had never fed each other even in their closest moments.

Only clingy young couples in love would do that.

The love between adults was more restrained and rational. He took her to high-end restaurants to enjoy a good meal and would never waste time feeding each other.

Selena took the vegetable salad in front of her and put it to Eric's mouth.

"Ah..."

Eric opened his mouth obediently and felt his ears heat up for no reason.

He never thought that someone would spoon-feed him like this one day.

Selena took a deep breath and continued to feed him. After she fed him all the vegetable salad, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally, she wiped his mouth gently.

Eric even thought it was an illusion.

"I'm full. You should eat."

Eric smiled and sat there.

The light that shone in was dim.

If Selena did not look at the upper half of Eric’s face and just looked at the lower half of his face, he was handsome enough.

Although his vision was dark and blurry, the fear in his heart no longer existed.

Selena sat there and ate a few bites of the sandwich before putting it down.

She really had no appetite.

Eric sat there with his broad shoulders and long legs. Although the dark gray shirt was slightly wrinkled, it did not affect his noble and indifferent vibe.

Selena smiled. "Sit here and rest for a while. I'll go and clean the floor inside first."

The oatmeal was still spilled over the floor.

Although Eric could not see clearly, he grabbed her wrist accurately and said with a deep and firm voice, "Don't go. Find other nurses to do it. Don't do this kind of work.”

"It's not much work."

"No. Your job is to take care of me. You don't have to do chores like cleaning. You just need to read emails for me later." 1

Eric had a strong desire to protect the people around him.

They could have different roles, but they would never have to stoop low to do irrelevant things.

That was also because he knew that Selena did not like to do housework.

Eric also could not bear to see her suffer.

Selena paused and smiled.

"Okay. I won’t go then."

After she finished speaking, Eric did not let go of her hand.

His big and warm hand held her wrist and tightened tightly. He hesitated to speak.

Selena looked at him. Her heart felt like it was cut open.

She smiled nonchalantly.

"Do you have anything else to tell me?"

She made her voice sound as relaxed as possible.

Eric pursed his lips, lowered his voice, and said, "You won't leave me, will you?" i

Selena took a deep look at him. Did he really care about her so much?

She took a deep breath, patted his hand, and said with a smile, "Mr.

Ferguson, don't worry. Shall I find the nurse?"

She did not reject him outright, which meant there was still room for maneuver.

Eric smiled and let go of her hand. His face looked much better.

The nurse came in and finished cleaning.

Eric had already started answering the phone.

Hearing what Mitchell said, Eric pondered for a while before he gave the instructions.

"Okay, please email me the details."

'Yeah, I'll ask Selena to read it to me."

Eric hung up the phone, then stretched out his hand to stand up.

"Selena..."

Selena was washing fruits not far away.

She was not interested in the content of their calls.

Selena walked over, took out a strawberry, and fed it to Eric. She smiled with satisfaction when Eric opened his mouth to eat it.

"Why did you call me?"

Eric swallowed the strawberry and paused before he said, "Can you read my emails for me?"

"Sure."
