Ch. 2551..2560

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2551 -Selena went to get Eric's laptop and needed to enter the password.

Eric told her without hesitation. When she turned on the laptop, he paused and added, ‘This is also the password to my safe. You have to remember it."

Selena was speechless.

"Would you tell your caregiver or assistant the combination to your safe?"

She was clearly not interested.

Eric recalled that Selena had mailed back his unlimited credit card.

Why would she be interested in these things?

He looked desolate. Fortunately, his eyes were covered with gauze, so Selena could not see the emotions he inadvertently revealed.

"Of course not. I only tell people I trust."

The man's voice was deep and powerful.

Selena smiled and opened the mailbox.

It had a few unread emails in English and French.

Fortunately, Selena had been abroad before, so French was not a problem for her.

However, the content...

Selena sighed.

She recognized the words, but she did not know what they meant.

Thus, she could only read and could not translate.

Although she stumbled while reading, Eric looked serious and dignified. He did not look disdainful at all.

Eric did not ask Selena to reply to his email. Instead, he called Mitchell, who understood what Eric wanted.

Some were business secrets, but Eric still spoke without avoiding Selena.

Selena felt a little awkward.

She did not want to know.

She clearly remembered the reason for their breakup.

It was because she looked at his phone, which had business secrets in it.

It seemed that there were more business secrets on his laptop.

Was he not afraid that she would see it?

However, Selena did not want to ask.

She did not want to bring up that incident again and embarrass everyone.

They were all trying their best to forget about it.

It took less than two hours for Eric to finish the phone call and deal with the matter.

The silence in the room was a little too obvious.

Eric suddenly noticed why it was so silent.

He also recalled their most serious argument.

Eric was not actually afraid that Selena would see the business secrets in his phone.

He just felt uncomfortable with her behavior of peeking at his phone.

Eric did not want them to become a couple with no personal space.

Even if they were very close, they should still respect each other's boundaries.

This sense of boundaries was based on mutual trust.

Selena obviously did not trust him. Back then, she did not have such a tacit understanding with him.

Selena suddenly laughed and turned off the laptop.

Eric walked over slowly. Selena was afraid that he would fall, so she got up and helped him.

'The sofa is behind you."

Eric sat down obediently.

He felt the need to clarify what happened earlier.

Eric took a deep breath.

"Selena, I shouldn't have said what I did last time when we quarreled. It's normal for a girlfriend to check her boyfriend’s phone."

Selena paused slightly.

She did not expect him to take the initiative to bring up this matter.

"Have you seen what happened to Taylor?"

Eric had put pressure on CK Corporation so that Taylor's father could find a marriage partner for her quickly.

Due to this, Taylor even went to Ferguson Corporation and asked Eric why he did that.

At that time, Eric was calm as he said lightly, "You contact me too often, which makes my girlfriend upset."

In order to get rid of the rumors, Eric could only ask Taylor to get married as soon as possible.

This way, the scandal between Eric and Taylor would resolve itself.

Taylor had been trained since childhood and was good at controlling her emotions.

Even though she had always been gentle and calm, she suddenly lost control when she received this news, i

She just cursed at him with restraint and turned to leave.

Even if this would make Eric's follow-up cooperation with CK Corporation less smooth, it was better than continuing to keep up the peace.

If he had to sacrifice someone, he could not and would not sacrifice Selena, 1

Thus, he could only sacrifice the third party.

Eric knew that he had always been an egoist and did not care about outsiders.

The biggest concession he made was to give up a few percent of his profit in the cooperation to express his apology to Ms. Caldwell.

Selena lowered her head and stared at the floor.

She felt that going back into that struggling relationship was a risk.

However, Selena was a risk-taker.

She had always been at high risk all her life, right?

"I really have nothing to do with her. I admit to allowing the news to spread that I have a close relationship with Taylor for the benefit of the company. But I never thought of being with her when I was with you."

He chuckled lightly, with a bit of helplessness and coldness.

"Selena, I'm not that much of an *sshole."

Eric was selfish, but he had a bottom line.

Selena was his, so he would not put her in an awkward situation.

Eric breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands nervously as he waited for Selena's reaction.

The ward was strangely quiet.

A few minutes felt like a long century.

Selena chuckled and sat there.

"I saw it. I also reflected on my behavior. I shouldn't be suspicious of you, but Eric, you have to admit that you have never given me a sense of security in our ridiculous relationship. That's why I overthink things. I didn't want to care about the rumors out there, but I could only do that if we weren't in a relationship. I still have the same stance. If we find our other half, there's no need for an explanation. Our relationship will automatically be over." 2

Selena approached him slowly and kept her gaze on his face.

"Can you understand this?"

The corners of Eric’s lips were pressed into a straight line.

There were a few seconds of silence.

His voice was clear as he said, "Yes."

It felt like a prisoner on death row was suddenly acquitted.

That restraint disappeared instantly.

Her ability to say this meant that she was giving them another chance.

Whether it was out of sympathy or guilt, Eric did not care anymore.

He just wanted her to be by his side.

That was enough for him.

Selena raised her eyes and smiled. Her smile was pretty and relaxed.

She looked outside at the flickering light. Then, she sat there with her back straight, looking like a beautiful swan.

This was how she looked when she was happy.

It was a pity that Eric could not see it.

Selena did not want to feel exhausted in a relationship.

If they had to date, she would just enjoy the pleasure that he brought her.

In the past, Selena thought and wanted too much from their relationship.

However, she suddenly figured out that she had problems from the very beginning.

Thus, she wanted to continue in another way.

Eric showed a rare smile, stretched out his hand, and asked for something she could not refuse.

"Although I can't see you now, can I hug you? Selena, I'm very glad that you're here."

Selena walked over and hugged him, feeling his warm chest and violent heartbeat.

"I'm glad too."

Eric felt that his eye injury was worth it!

The specialists arrived in the afternoon.

As soon as they arrived, they began a comprehensive checkup.

Selena went out to wait, stood at the door, and walked back and forth a little nervously.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2552 -"Ms. Nelson, don't worry. They are the best specialists in the world."

Selena twitched her lips and nodded.

"I know, but I’m just worried. What if the best specialist can't do anything about it? What if he loses his eyes?”

Mitchell pursed her lips. "I asked the specialist. There's a high probability that they can keep his left eyeball. But it'll be more serious if his retina is damaged, so we must go abroad for treatment. The resources for domestic retinal transplants aren't sufficient, and they only accept blind donors. Mr. Ferguson can't stay blind all his life. He needs to have at least one good eye that can see."

If the high and mighty Eric really went blind, Mitchell was afraid that Eric would not be able to accept it.

Selena trembled slightly.

After a long time, she took a deep breath.

"It's okay. I can give him one of my eyes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mitchell looked up at her in shock.

There was no response for a long time.

"I thought you would stay away because Mr. Ferguson was injured. He'll be delighted to know that you offered him your eye."

Selena took a deep breath and leaned lazily against the wall. She said with a smile, "We made up again.”

Mitchell paused.

He expected this possibility, but he thought that it was a small possibility because Selena was unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, it actually happened.

"Congratulations."

Mitchell smiled.

He was happy to see Eric and Selena reconcile.

After all, Mitchell knew that Eric had become more irritable and ruthless after the breakup. He changed too much.

They could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"There's nothing to congratulate. Breaking up and getting back together is normal."

Selena said indifferently.

Mitchell raised his eyebrows. "During the time you broke up, everyone in the company was stepping on eggshells. Mr. Ferguson found an opportunity to fire three executives at once, and the project department was exhausted to the point of dying. Since he dated you, his tolerance for his subordinates has been much higher. So, your reconciliation

is simply a happy event for the entire Ferguson Corporation!"

Selena was speechless.

Eric’s examination and surgery took an afternoon.

The specialists came up with a medical plan that night.

Eric needed to recuperate in the hospital for a month, then he could go home to recuperate for half a year.

If his left eye recovered well and he could see things clearly, it meant that he would have a smooth recovery.

Although Eric's right eye received a severe impact, most of the force was absorbed by his eye socket, which was more severely damaged and fractured.

If the impact area was larger, he might be disfigured and would require plastic surgery.

Eric did not rely on his face to earn money, so his focus was on his eyes.

Therefore, the specialist team ordered special glasses for him.

That way, he could be free from gauze, but it would not affect his eye recovery.

As soon as Selena heard that there was no need to remove his eyeballs, she just wanted to jump for joy and thank God.

This showed that Eric's eyes could be saved.

Mitchell also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then please take good care of Mr. Ferguson for the time being!"

"I will!"

Selena smiled. The gloom of the past few days was swept away.

Eric woke up from the anesthesia.

News of his hospitalization spread like wildfire.

Many people lined up to come and visit him, but Eric did not see them.

However, some important customers and friends came in to say a few words.

Even so, they did not stay for long.

They did not say much about Selena's presence because everyone could guess the situation.

When Harvey called Selena and she answered, Mr. Griffin's voice came through.

"Ms. Nelson, it's me!"

"Mr. Griffin? Do you need something?"

"I don't have your number, and I was afraid that you wouldn't answer my call, so I borrowed Harvey's phone. You followed Mr. Ferguson to the hospital last time, right? How is his condition now? Is Mr. Ferguson alright? Our new movie will start soon. It'll be our loss if he, our investor, doesn't show up!"

Although Mr. Griffin said so, he was just worried that the funds would not be in place.

Selena smiled. "Mr. Ferguson is okay. He’s recuperating, so I'm afraid he won't be able to get in touch for a while."

Mr. Griffin paused. "We'd like to visit him. Is it convenient?"

When he asked, he felt a little regretful.

How could Selena know that it was convenient for him to visit Eric?

Eric and Selena did not know each other well, and she only sent Eric to the hospital.

Before he could take back his question, Selena turned her head and asked, "Mr. Griffin wants to visit you. Is it convenient?”

"No."

Eric’s tone was very low. He lay leisurely on the rocking chair and waited for Selena to finish the call so that she could feed him some fruit.

He wished these kinds of days could last forever, and he did not want others to disturb him.

Mr. Griffin was taken aback when he heard Eric's voice and immediately said, "Selena, please tell Mr. Ferguson that we won’t bother him. We'll just take a peek at the door to make sure that he's alright. I've been really worried since he was injured and couldn't eat or sleep well!"

Selena glanced at Eric, and he waved his hand impatiently.

"Whatever."

Before Selena could convey the message, Mr. Griffin heard it.

"Okay. I'll go right now!"

He hung up the phone.

Selena said with a smile, "Mr. Griffin really cares about you. I'm not a cast member, so he can completely disassociate himself from me. Not only does he not blame me, but he's also so worried about you."

Eric raised his head slightly to see her, but he later realized that he could not see anything.

He chuckled lightly and said in a clear voice, "This old guy is only concerned about me because he's afraid that I won't invest in him. It's probably because you are the only one who left with me, so he can only go through you if he wants to find out anything. So, there’s no need to be grateful to him." 1

Selena paused, smiled, and did not say much.

Mr. Griffin's actions were unexpectedly quick.

He carried a lot of things in big and small bags. Harvey and Lara also came along.

Three people represented the cast.

They could not get in because this floor was heavily guarded by Eric's people.

Thus, Selena went out to pick them up.

She could not help but smile when she saw Mr. Griffin.

Harvey and Lara were empty-handed, and Mr. Griffin was carrying everything.

They looked so different.

"Selena, all these things are for Mr. Ferguson. Since we're here, can we see him?"

Selena paused. She had asked Eric before she came out. Although he was very reluctant, he was not that adamant.

"I’ll ask again."

"Sure, sure. Go and ask."

Mr. Griffin smiled.

Harvey opened his mouth and could not help but ask, "Ms. Nelson, are you here to take care of Mr. Ferguson? He didn't make things difficult for you because of this, did he?"

Although Harvey knew that Selena and Eric did not have an ordinary relationship, they pretended not to know each other, which made Harvey a little worried.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2553-Just as Selena was about to speak, Lara, who was next to her, could not help but said, "How could it be? You can see by the number of people that Mr. Ferguson has here that Ms. Nelson is doing well. I think it's a blessing in disguise, right? So many people wish for a chance to take care of Mr. Ferguson."

Selena was slightly taken aback by Lara's sincere and serious words.

She turned her head with a smile, looked at Lara, and said politely, "Lara, if you wish for it, I can tell Mr. Ferguson to let you stay and be his caregiver."

Lara was slightly taken aback.

The situation instantly turned awkward.

Lara did not expect Selena to talk back to her.

At the moment, Lara was in the limelight on the internet. Everyone praised her when she returned to showbiz.

No one dared to be so blunt to her.

How could Lara work as a caregiver for Eric?

Lara's face turned pale.

It was not that she did not want to, but if news got out, her reputation would be gone, i

Harvey heard the tension between the two women and remembered that Lara came over to him after he taught Selena to play golf.

Could it be that these two women had a grudge?

Harvey paused, and Mr. Griffin interrupted them.

'That's enough. Why are you arguing? How could you be Mr. Ferguson's caregiver? If he’s willing, I will be the first to volunteer!"

Selena could not help but laugh.

Mr. Griffin was really interesting.

Selena took a few quick steps and arrived next to Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Griffin asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Ferguson make things difficult for you? Did he mention the divestment?"

Selena did not want to reveal her relationship with Eric.

She paused and said, "No, he didn't make things difficult for me. He just asked me to take care of him as a caregiver. Otherwise, he would sue me. I can’t afford the compensation!" i

Mr. Griffin nodded. His doubts about the relationship between Selena and Eric were instantly dispelled.

He confirmed that they had no relationship.

Sue?

Mr. Griffin sighed. Eric probably did not want to let Selena go so easily and wanted to punish her.

Rich people were petty!

When they got to the door, bodyguards stood on both sides.

Seeing Selena, they nodded politely and opened the door to let her in.

Selena went in and came out soon after.

"Mr. Ferguson invites Mr. Griffin in.”

The others did not have to go in.

Eric hated being troubled.

Letting Mr. Griffin into the ward was already a big concession.

Mr. Griffin nodded happily and looked back at his male and female lead.

'You two can wait for me outside. I'll convey your blessings."

Harvey and Lara were speechless.

They had no good wishes for Eric.

When Mr. Griffin went in, he noticed that the ward looked like a small suite in a hotel.

Such wards were not common in the hospital. Mr. Griffin praised, "Mr. Ferguson, you're really rich and powerful!"

Mr. Griffin liked this investor even more.

He had more expectations now.

Mr. Griffin saw Eric lying on the rocking chair, donning a light gray shirt, trousers, and sunglasses.

Eric's casual and languid posture made people think that he was on vacation.

As soon as Mr. Griffin entered, he took a breath and started crying.

"Mr. Ferguson, are your eyes okay? I've been very worried since you got hurt. I wanted to visit you earlier, but I was afraid of disturbing your recovery. I feel so distressed..."

Selena was pouring a glass of water. When she heard that, her hand shook, and some of the water spilled out.

She looked up in shock and watched as Mr. Griffin pulled out a chair to sit beside Eric.

Mr. Griffin even held Eric's chair to keep him from rocking.

"Mr. Ferguson..."

With tears in his eyes, Mr. Griffin began to express his worries and sorrows.

Eric's face turned gloomier when he heard this.

The most obvious thing was that Eric was starting to exude his authoritative vibe again.

Eric seemed to be on the verge of anger.

Mr. Griffin's talent was wasted being a director. He should be an actor!

Eric's face was tense. His fingers were on the edge of the armrest, and he was holding back his anger.

Selena hurried over and interrupted Mr. Griffin’s crying with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Griffin. Do you want to wipe your face? Mr.

Ferguson can't shed tears during his recuperation, and I was almost moved to tears by what you said."

Mr. Griffin raised his eyes. "Really?”

Selena nodded sincerely.

Mr. Griffin sniffled and held back his tears.

"Mr. Ferguson, I have already prepared the investment contract. Without your participation in this movie, it'll just be mediocre, like a drop of water in the vast ocean. But if you're involved, it’ll win awards..."

Mr. Griffin was praising Eric.

If it had been someone else, that investor would have been in high spirits.

However, Eric was so calm. These words went in one ear and went out the other.

Eric could not bear it anymore and finally stood up.

However, Mr. Griffin was leaning too far forward, so Eric bumped into him.

Eric's face turned pale from the pain.

Selena stepped forward in an instant and pulled him back. Then, she bent down to rub his knee.

As soon as Selena's hands touched him, Eric pulled her up.

Eric looked in the direction of Mr. Griffin with a gloomy expression. His tone was cold as he said, "Mr. Griffin, I have handed over this cooperation to Mitchell and will tell him that you’ll see him to sign the contract."

Mr. Griffin pulled himself out of the shock and looked at Eric in surprise.

"Really? Mr. Ferguson, you’re the best! Your decision will affect the future development of the entertainment industry

Mr. Griffin wanted to keep talking, but Selena coughed.

"Mr. Griffin, it’s time for Mr. Ferguson to take his medicine..."

"Oh, okay. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll come to visit Mr. Ferguson another day!"

Of course, that would be around the time for the second round of financing.

Mr. Griffin happily left.

Only the angry Eric and the helpless Selena were left behind.

'This old geezer! I'm not dead yet, but he cries as if he's mourning me.”

Eric kicked the chair in front of him.

However, he was wearing slippers, so he kicked his foot.

He froze in pain. His whole body was covered in injuries.

What a pity.

Selena moved the chair away and let him sit down again.

"Don’t think like that. Mr. Griffin is just here for business. He’s afraid that you’ll implicate him, so he tries to flatter you. It turns out that being a director is so difficult!"

Eric was speechless.

He put up with Mr. Griffin for so long, but Selena only felt sorry for the director.

Eric was too angry to speak.

Selena leaned forward slightly. When she was about to get past him to get something, she suddenly felt a hand on her waist.

Eric hugged her and pulled her onto his lap.

Selena froze for a moment and subconsciously looked outside the door.

Fortunately, no one was there.

Eric did not do much. He just held her in his arms and touched her.

"I can’t see you, so I just want to hug you."

Eric touched her slender waist that was outlined by her slim dress. The delicate touch could easily arouse his dark thoughts.

However, he had to bear with it for now.

He did not want Selena to feel like he could not leave her because of sex.

Eric restrained his thoughts. His throat moved, and Selena’s supple skin made him feel that he would lose control.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2554-Soon, Selena only stayed there for a few seconds before she jumped off Eric's lap.

Her phone rang.

Selena picked it up and heard Mr. Griffin's voice come through.

"Selena, we'll start filming next month. I'll arrange your cameo role to be the first to shoot, so remember to come over when it's your turn."

"So soon?"

"Yes. You can finish the shoot early and go back to take care of Mr. Ferguson. I specially arranged this time for you. Is it convenient?"

How could she say otherwise if she just had a cameo role?

"Sure. I'll go then."

"Okay."

Selena hung up the phone.

Eric sat there.

The rocking chair did not move.

His face was serious, but he quickly regained his expression.

"Do you really want to join showbiz? The entertainment circle is complicated. With your character, you might get

ousted.

Eric just did not want Selena to be corrupted.

Compared with those women in the entertainment industry, Selena was a goddess.

Even though he said this, he still made the investment.

However, he would not tell Selena that he was only investing in Mr. Griffin’s movie because of her.

Although Selena was annoyed at Eric’s undermining attitude, she also knew that she did not have the talent.

"I know. I'm just a cameo. My idol got this opportunity for me, so I must go. This is probably my last guest appearance in the entertainment industry. Anyway, I have nothing to do since the bar will be closed soon."

As Selena spoke, her emotions did not fluctuate much.

On the other hand, Eric was slightly taken aback. He stretched out his hand.

"Selena."

Selena walked over and sat on his lap gently this time.

"Are you blaming me for closing your bar? It was a plan by the government. Or are you unhappy with the compensation amount? $4 million is the highest amount they can offer. If you're not satisfied, I'll make up the extra $2 million for you, okay?"

Eric took her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it gently. He was coaxing her patiently.

Selena blushed, and the back of her ears felt a little hot.

Eric did not tell her that they did not agree with the original $ 4 million either and would only increase by 30% at most.

Selena's request was somewhat unreasonable.

However, he came forward and made a final decision of $4 million.

Eric knew that Selena's price was actually not as high as $6 million, but he did not call her bluff.

Selena paused, sighed, and gently leaned on his shoulders, sitting there quietly.

"Forget it. In fact, I only planned to ask for $2 million at the beginning. $4 million is more than enough!"

Eric was speechless.

He reached out to pinch her chin, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Their lips and teeth collided, and both of them trembled slightly.

They always got along well physically.

Eric could not see, so his movements were a little unorthodox, and he could only kiss her outline slowly.

Both of them were a little emotional.

Eric could not see Selena’s misty eyes, but he was a little aggressive.

He had not kissed her for a long time, so he really missed her.

The two of them kissed for a long time. In the end, Selena was almost out of breath.

She patted him on the shoulder and stopped.

They sat quietly for a while.

Eric spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"Why don't you want a new bar? The newly planned bar might be better than your current one. If you buy another one, the location won't be as nice as your current one."

Selena paused.

She came to her senses.

She just did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Thus, he did not want his handouts.

She wanted to brush this off and got off his lap to get some fruit.

"How will I know it'll be better than the current one? Before I see the real thing, I might as well ask for money!"

Eric understood, smiled, and nodded.

"Okay. Then I'll give it to you after it's completed. I'll keep the contract for you first. If you're satisfied, it will still be yours!"

Selena curled her lips. "Are you planning to give it to me?"

Eric said, "I'll sell it to you at cost price. $4 million should be enough, so don't rush to spend your $4 million."

Selena was speechless.

She still had to pay for what she was given.

"Thank you!" Selena kissed him and said sarcastically.

Eric was very satisfied.

His ears were reddish.

The two of them were chatting and laughing. Occasionally, the doctor came in to check on Eric, but that did not disturb them.

They might have guessed who Selena was to Eric, but no one really asked.

Mitchell occasionally came over to ask Eric to sign documents and brought him some clothes.

Selena and Eric lived like they were in paradise.

Their relationship was better than expected.

While they were on a walk, Selena sometimes felt that Eric walked too slowly, so she pushed him with a wheelchair.

As soon as she let go, the wheelchair would roll away.

Eric almost fell to the ground several times, but he skillfully put his feet on the ground and saved his life.

Selena laughed loudly from behind. Eric sat back in the wheelchair helplessly and asked her to push him properly.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed.

Selena occasionally went out to get some fresh air.

In fact, Eric was also bored, but he enjoyed it.

Selena was not a phony person. Since they had reconciled, she held no grudges.

They were just as passionate in bed as before.

That day, Selena went out to get Eric’s clothes and went to the bar first. The business was still booming.

However, news of the demolition had already spread.

As soon as she entered the bar, everyone called her, "Rich woman!"

Selena laughed. "Demolition woman!"

Her bar was about to be demolished.

Everyone went in chatting and laughing. Chaz went over mysteriously.

'Where have you been during this time? Why didn't you show up here? Are you planning to run away because you feel that you're going to get rich?"

Selena rolled her eyes at him and sighed.

"I’ve been with my boyfriend, of course."

"Boyfriend? Have you found a new boyfriend?"

Chaz asked excitedly.

Selena coughed. "It's still the same one."

Chaz’s face suddenly collapsed.

'You women have love brains and can be easily conned with a few words. You're not at all determined!"

He rolled her eyes and left with contempt.

Selena smiled guiltily, caught up to him, and explained the situation. Chaz's expression softened a little.

She talked about the relocation of the bar and asked Chaz to think about it.

"Actually, I have also visited that place. Although the location isn't as good as it is now, it’s not bad. This place is about to be revamped, and it'll be a commercial area. It's hard to say whether it'll affect the business of our bar. So, I haven't decided yet. We have the money. When the planning and design are completed, we can still stay if it's up to standard. If it’s not good..."

Selena hesitated.

Chaz said the rest for her, "If it's not good, we'll miss out on the other bar. Aren't they already in a hurry to sell it?"

Selena nodded. "This is what I’m worried about. I can only choose one of them with the money I have."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2555-When Chaz heard this, he fell silent for a while.

"What about this? I'll go over there during this time to see what’s going on."

Selena nodded. "Okay, I knew that I could rely on you!"

Chaz chuckled lightly.

"It’s easy for you to be the boss. I don’t care, I want a raise!"

"No problem!"

Selena and Chaz looked at each other and smiled. They knew that they had similar personalities.

Selena went upstairs to change her clothes, took a nice bath, and slowly went to Eric’s house to get clothes for him.

The servants were ready because she had called them in advance.

"Ms. Nelson, the young master has been asking about you all the time. He misses you very much!"

The servant smiled and was glad to see her back.

After all, Selena used to stay in the villa.

Selena felt a little guilty. Chance probably did not dare to disturb her because he thought that she had broken up with Eric.

She thought about it for a while. "Tell the driver to take him to the hospital later. It just so happens that Mr. Ferguson wants to see his son."

"Sure, I'll let him know."

Selena took her things and left. She went to the dessert shop to buy some cakes.

When she returned to the hospital, she felt an unprecedented solemnity and silence on the first floor.

Not even a footstep could be heard.

The security also doubled.

Selena paused and slowed down.

Something felt wrong.

Did something happen to Eric?

She froze. The thought terrified her.

Then, Selena ran over immediately.

The bodyguard at the door stopped her.

She looked at the bodyguards, who were not familiar to her.

"Who are you?"

It was clear that these people were not Eric's.

The man at the door was well-trained. No one answered.

The people inside the ward seemed to have heard her voice.

An old but resounding voice came from inside the ward.

"Is that Ms. Nelson? Please, come in."

The bodyguard at the door opened the door and let her in.

Selena gathered herself and walked in.

The furnishings inside were still familiar.

Eric, on the other hand, was sitting by the window with his sunglasses and a gloomy and stern expression.

He was languid but dignified. He tilted his head slightly when he heard Selena's movement and raised his hand to beckon to her.

"Selena, come here.”

His voice was hoarse and calm.

Sitting across from Eric was an old man who looked thin and small.

The old man's hair was all white. His cheeks were sunken, but his face was quite ruddy. He was wearing a white suit, and his wrinkled skin looked like it was attached to his bones. However, his eyes were very bright. There was a terrifying chill and darkness about him.

Selena paused and walked over.

The old man immediately stood up, bowed politely, and smiled.

"Ms. Nelson, it’s a great honor to meet you for the first time."

Selena nodded slightly and glanced at Eric.

Eric obviously did not want to introduce this old man. His eyes were a bit cold.

The old man began to introduce himself.

"I am Mr. Charles Ferguson's butler, Abbott. I'm here to visit Mr. Eric on behalf of his father. Mr. Charles has heard of you for a long time, Ms. Nelson. We would like to thank you for taking care of Mr. Eric so well during this period."

Selena pursed her lips. "You're welcome."

She did not say another word.

Instead, the old man paused.

Her attitude was lukewarm, which was beyond the old man's expectations.

Charles Ferguson also did not expect this.

Eric pursed his lips in satisfaction and pulled Selena to sit down.

He had a somewhat cynical tone and smiled lightly.

"Since you’ve seen her, you can go back and tell him. I don't agree with what he said. I'm not dead yet, so I won't divide my property. I haven't seen a father who is in such a hurry to inherit his son's property!"

The old man paused and smiled helplessly.

"You know that Mr. Charles doesn't mean it like that. You are his only son, so he wants the best for you."

"Anyway, there’s no need to explain."

Eric looked like he did not care for what Abbott said.

Selena watched as the two had an intense conversation.

Although they did not avoid her when they talked, Selena did not know what they were talking about.

The old man's eyes flickered. He glanced at Selena and said with a smile, "Mr. Ferguson, please think about it. I'll stay in the hotel during this time. If you’ve made a decision, you can look for me anytime."

Abbott nodded slightly toward Selena and walked out.

When he got to the door, he paused and said, "Mr. Charles asked me to bring some gifts and supplements for you.

Should I have them brought up to you or sent home?"

Eric turned his head away and said nothing. The old man looked at Selena with a smile.

"Ms. Nelson, why don't you arrange it?"

Abbott seemed to have known about Selena and Eric’s relationship a long time ago.

Selena glanced at Eric.

He did not seem to care about the old man's gift.

Selena nodded and followed him out.

Abbott brought those bodyguards here.

If a butler was so ostentatious, it was not hard to imagine

what Charles Ferguson was like.

Selena usually thought that Eric spent money like it was water and that Eric was flashy enough.

However, compared with his father, Eric was already very restrained.

Just as Selena was deep in thought, the old man suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Selena with a smile.

He asked gently, "Ms. Nelson, there is something I'd like to ask for your help."

Selena’s heart was pounding.

They were not so familiar with each other that they could ask for help, right?

Selena always felt that the old man was scheming something even though he was smiling.

Abbott was a friendly-looking villain.

Selena pondered. "I'm afraid I can't help you. If you need help, you should go to Mr. Ferguson."

Abbott's falcon-like eyes looked at her with a little coldness.

"Ms. Nelson, make an offer!"

Selena was taken aback and raised her eyelids in shock.

In her lifetime, she still had a chance to hear this.

"Make an offer and leave my son!"

"State a price and leave my young master!"

Selena looked at Abbott blankly. Was he trying to say what she thought he would say?

"Of course, I won’t let your hard work go wasted, Ms. Nelson. Why don’t you state your price and help me? It's nothing bad..."

Abbott looked at her with a smile as he spoke.

Selena was a little disappointed, but also secretly shocked.

It turned out that he was not asking her to leave Eric. He just wanted her help.

However, Selena would not agree so foolishly and easily.

After all, if a sky-high price was charged for this favor, she would not be able to help.

She would not be able to spend the money that she earned like that.

Selena brushed her hair back and smiled politely.

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do."

Abbott paused slightly. His eyes flashed.

"I haven't even told you what I need help with, but you already said there's nothing you can do. Aren't you jumping to a conclusion too soon?”

Selena felt a little awkward.

"Actually, I didn’t ask for this favor. Mr. Charles is asking for this favor. You’ve been with Mr. Eric for so long, and Mr.

Charles knows about it. Mr. Charles is Mr. Eric's father, so don’t you want to establish a good relationship with him first?"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2556 -Abbott looked at Selena unblinkingly.

Although there was an amiable smile on his face, his eyes were indifferent and scheming.

Two completely opposite emotions were reflected in the same person at the same time.

It was so contradictory.

When Selena heard this, she did not panic and suddenly smiled.

"What era is this? I'm with Eric, yet I have to please his father? I'm not aware that I have to be a slave. If Eric told me this, I'd turn around and leave him right away. Do you believe it?”

Abbott's face froze slightly.

He was no longer bothered to maintain superficial politeness.

Abbott walked right past Selena.

Seeing this, Selena smiled but did not follow. She just said from behind, "Get Mr. Ferguson's bodyguards to bring those things up. After all, I'm not a nanny. I’m not in charge of serving him."

Selena turned around with a smile and continued upstairs.

She was not afraid of offending this old butler because she never thought of marrying Eric at all.

She had long dispelled this idea.

Selena only got back together with Eric because she still liked him.

However, she would not marry him.

Even if Eric proposed to her, she might not agree to it now.

Since they were dating, they should be carefree.

They could stay together if they were happy and break up when they were not.

Selena did not want to tire herself out because of those feelings.

This was the bottom line she set for herself.

When Abbott heard this, he paused slightly. Then, he turned his head to look up at her.

However, Selena had already turned around and left without any politeness.

How disrespectful.

Abbot's face was serious and cold. He gritted his teeth, then turned and went downstairs.

Selena thought about it. She was not at all upset.

Just as she walked out of the stairwell, she saw Eric standing at the door holding a white cane. Eric’s face was cold and solemn. He stood tall and straight, and his collar was slightly open.

He wore sunglasses, but he did not look like a blind person. He looked more like a cool model.

Selena raised her eyebrows. "Why are you here? Did you hear our conversation?”

Eric hummed with an indistinct expression.

He only realized later that Selena had gone out with the old man.

Eric knew what kind of person that old man was.

Over the years, Charles would not have had such smooth sailing without the old man's help in handling his businesses abroad.

That was why Charles trusted Abbott.

Of course, Charles also gave Abbott a lot of power.

Eric could not say anything about his father’s behavior, but he did not like Abbott.

Naturally, Eric did not show Abbott much respect.

He stretched out his hand. Selena paused and clung to him.

Eric's hand was slightly cold, but he held Selena's hand tightly.

'You're right. Don't worry about him. Who is he anyway? Even if my dad comes in person, I won’t show him any respect."

Eric did not have such a close relationship with his father. Their relationship was just passable.

Both parties did not want to offend each other, but they also could not dictate each other's life.

Eric was the successor that Old Master Ferguson valued. Charles was not capable enough, so he was exiled.

Selena and Eric returned to the ward. The bodyguard returned to the door.

Selena's eyes flickered. "Where did they go just now? When the butler came, you even gave your bodyguards a break?"

Eric's expression was gloomy. He just responded and did not want to say more.

Selena also did not get to the bottom of it.

There were some things that were better kept to himself.

Back in the room, Eric sat down again.

In the afternoon, the specialists came to check on him.

Selena asked him to change into the clothes she brought and started a foreign movie. Eric listened while she watched.

Eric's recovery was much better than expected.

Soon, it was time for the filming to start.

Harvey also specially called to remind Selena.

Selena did not go out for a long time, and she was looking forward to it.

Thus, she got up early in the morning to choose her outfit.

When Eric heard the movement, he woke up but did not have a good complexion.

"You can wear whatever you want. That tracksuit is fine."

Selena paused. 'You can't even see. How can I wear a tracksuit on set? Even if I can't overwhelm the audience, I can't look bad!"

She especially did not want to lose to Lara.

Eric laughed softly. 'Then just wear that white skirt.”

Selena looked at the white skirt in the closet. She did not bring many clothes.

However, the weather today was cloudy and cold.

While she was hesitating, Eric continued to speak, 'That way, your idol can sign your skirt. How convenient!"

Selena could not help but turn her head to look at him.

Eric sat there and raised his head slightly.

Although he was wearing sunglasses, that did not hide his handsome features and smooth outline.

Selena stared at him for a few seconds and thought that he could see her.

She laughed. "Is that jealousy I sense, Mr. Ferguson?"

"No."

Eric immediately denied it.

However, the tips of his ears turned red.

On the day of the owners' meeting, Eric had seen what happened when he was in the elevator.

It was truly an eyesore.

Thus, he did not like Harvey afterward.

"It's good that you're not jealous. No one can be jealous of my idol. Harvey is the best!”

Selena turned her head and continued to pick out her clothes.

Eric was speechless.

He topped the Forbes list year after year, but she did not praise him for being excellent.

Was this woman blind?

He opened his mouth but did not continue speaking.

Otherwise, it would end badly.

Selena finally finished changing and saw that Eric had stood up as if he wanted to follow her out.

She was a little surprised.

"Wait for me here. I'll be back in the afternoon."

Eric pursed his lips. His expression was slightly tense.

"I’ll go with you and visit the set in the meantime."

Selena asked, "Who are you visiting?"

'You."

Eric said rightfully.

Selena was speechless.

She only worked for one day. Did he have to visit her on set?

Fortunately, Eric could not see, so she rolled her eyes blatantly.

"Mr. Ferguson, if you go, how will I be able to film?"

Eric pursed his lips. "Don't worry. I can't see. After all, I invested in this film. It's not wrong for me to care about it, right? I'll go check it out and take you there by the way."

Selena was speechless.

Seeing how he made up his mind, Selena was helpless.

However, he had a point.

Eric was still an investor. If Mr. Griffin knew that Eric was going, he would be so happy.

Selena sighed, walked over, and took his arm.

"Fine. When we get to the set, we'll pretend that we're not familiar with each other."

Eric frowned slightly but still agreed.

Was it still necessary for them to pretend to be strangers?

However, Eric would not refuse her request.

The two washed up and went out.

Eric's black Bentley stopped at the door.

Eric bent down to get into the car and waited for Selena to get in.

As a result, Selena closed the door for him and went to sit in the passenger seat by herself.

Selena turned her head and explained to him. "I can't help it. I'm afraid people will see the two of us getting out of the car together. We can hold hands again on the way back!"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2557 -Selena's coquettish words eased Eric's dissatisfaction slightly.

The cardrove to the set.

When Selena got out of the car, no one cared about her. Only Harvey’s assistant came to pick her up.

When Eric got out of the car, Mr. Griffin came running over in person.

Selena got out of the passenger seat. At first glance, she looked like she had nothing to do with Eric.

They maintained a good distance, so no one would speculate about them.

Eric was taken to other places by Mr. Griffin.

Selena also went to the filming location with Harvey's assistant.

There was obviously something wrong with the assistant's expression.

He hesitated to speak.

"Ms. Nelson, Harvey is putting on makeup inside. Why don't you go in later to say hello?"

Selena nodded. "Sure, thanks. What about Mr. Griffin..."

"Mr. Griffin doesn't need to see some of the clips. Other directors are also around."

The assistant pursed his lips as if he had something to say, but he did not know how to say it.

Selena saw it and smiled.

"I’ll go over to say hello to Harvey. You can go ahead."

"Okay. He's in the innermost dressing room."

The assistant nodded and left.

Selena paused for a moment. Then she raised a smile and went to look for Harvey.

After all, she was about to meet her idol. How could she not be excited?

Selena hummed and walked forward.

The door was ajar, and Selena could hear Lara's voice.

"Harvey, this is the first time I've asked you for such a thing. I'm really sorry. My younger sister just graduated from the Film Academy and needs an internship this year. Our cast couldn't be more suitable. I don't want to touch the other characters either. I've been there too, and I know the feeling of being robbed. Only this cameo role is insignificant, so I want my sister to try it."

Selena suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Harvey's gentle voice sounded.

"Sorry, this role has already been given to Selena. Weren't you aware? The director has already agreed that Selena will

come over today, so I don't think it's appropriate to give her role to someone else. Why don't you wait for the next opportunity?"

Lara smiled and said calmly, "I know, but Selena is just an outsider. Her acting skills won’t be as good as my sister's professional skills. What's more, my sister will be in the entertainment circle sooner or later. She's also your fan, and she's already waiting outside, saying that she wants to say hello to you. You can't favor one fan over another. I know this must be awkward for you. I have already told Mr. Griffin in advance. He said that you introduced Selena, so if I want to get my sister into this role, I’ll have to ask you. This is what I think. I have a character in my next film that doesn't have a very important role, but she'll have a dozen scenes, and it's much better than this cameo. To make it up to Selena, I can recommend her for my next film. This way, she won't be losing out."

Harvey frowned. His face was solemn.

He was unwilling to swap, but how could he refuse Lara?

Lara even brought her own sister here. It showed that she had already made up her mind to replace Selena.

Lara was determined to get this role and smiled meaningfully.

Selena stood outside and took a deep breath.

She was speechless about Lara.

She did not know how she had offended Lara that Lara wanted to target her like this.

Now, Lara even wanted to take this cameo role away from her.

Although Selena did not care much about this role, Harvey recommended her for this role.

She came here for her idol, so who gave Lara the right to snatch it away?

Selena gritted her teeth and pushed the door open.

She stood at the door with her arms folded and looked at Lara lightly.

Right now, there was no need to conceal Lara’s ill intentions.

Selena said bluntly, "Lara, I came here for Harvey, not for you. If I lose this opportunity to act in your film, it will be a big loss for me, so I don't agree with it."

Lara was slightly taken aback. She was neither angry nor embarrassed.

She smiled slightly, looked at Selena, brushed her hair, and said calmly.

"Ms. Nelson, you've misunderstood. Since you overheard our conversation, I won't hide it from you. I didn't want to take away your opportunity to be a guest star. Didn't you say before that you don't plan to join the entertainment circle? To you, this is just optional. But my sister has been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time. She will start filming after her graduation this summer, so she just wanted to find an opportunity to practice first. I think you should understand, right?"

Selena began to admire Lara’s thick skin.

Lara could still say these words in front of her without changing her expression. She could also maintain her gentle, intellectual, and independent woman persona.

However, her behavior was just another form of workplace bullying.

What was the difference between this and having old employees in the company pull their relatives in while bullying interns?

Lara even said it so righteously.

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. She glanced at Harvey, who was embarrassed and solemn.

She believed that Harvey was unwilling to replace Selena, but Harvey and Lara would have to spend several months filming together on the set, so if they offended each other, it would not be good for everyone.

Naturally, Selena would not make life difficult for Harvey.

She would piss Lara off by herself.

"I understand."

Selena smiled.

"But I don’t accept it. Lara, you’ve probably used to hurting others for your benefit, huh? I'm not interested in being in the entertainment circle, but I also know what first come first serve means. I also know what respect is. You want to bully a little nobody like me just because of your status in

the entertainment circle. Why don't you think about it carefully? Since I'm not in the entertainment circle, I'm not afraid of offending you!"

Selena smiled recklessly and brightly. Her eyes were lively but with a hint of coldness.

Lara felt a little suffocated. The smile on her face froze.

She took a step forward and smiled politely.

"Ms. Nelson, I'm not discussing this with you, and I'm not asking for your opinion. You don't have the final say on this set. I’m only telling Harvey as a show of respect to him, not to you. In fact, this is a simple matter, and the director has agreed to it. Ms. Nelson, you can leave now."

After Lara finished speaking, she curled her lips into a sneer. Then, she turned sideways and walked away from Selena.

Harvey’s eyes drooped slightly. His pupils constricted a little.

He took a deep breath and stood up immediately.

"Don't worry, Selena. I won’t let anyone take this opportunity away from you. That's because you're the most suitable person for this role. I'll go find the director right away."

Selena stopped him with a smile on her face.

"Harvey, there's no need for this. The role is indeed irrelevant, but if the director agreed to it, there’s no need to argue. You and Lara still have to work together on set, so you shouldn't get into a fight with her."

It was not worth the trouble for a cameo role.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2558 -"What's more, I already said my piece, so I didn't just compromise. She looked livid earlier. I'm not at a disadvantage, so let's just leave it at that. After all, I still have my own business to run, so there's no need to waste my energy here."

Harvey frowned slightly. "But you've been wronged. If they told me a day in advance, you wouldn’t have made your trip in vain."

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth and said coldly," That's why she's Lara!"

Lara just wanted Selena to make the trip for nothing.

She wanted Selena to get her hopes up.

Despite her age, Lara was still such a fake b*tch. It was clear that she was not a good person when she was younger.

No wonder she was just mediocre when she was young. She was also not as popular as she was now!

Netizens would not like her for long just because they were nostalgic.

The two smiled helplessly.

Harvey understood the actresses' tricks and never intervened. This time, he was repulsed by it.

"I'm sorry, Selena. It's all my fault."

"Don’t say that, Harvey. It's an honor that you even thought of me!"

As Selena spoke, Harvey's assistant trotted over.

"Harvey, the makeup artist is here..."

Selena paused. 'Then I'll get going first."

Harvey nodded. "I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

"Don't go back on your word!"

Selena smiled happily, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

Harvey's assistant caught up after a while and was hesitant to speak.

"Ms. Nelson, you know everything, right?”

Selena's eyes flickered slightly. She immediately realized that Harvey's assistant might have known about this for a long time, even earlier than Harvey.

Selena tilted her head.

"So, you already knew?"

The assistant blushed and lowered his head.

"I accidentally heard it some time ago, but I heard from Lara’s assistant that she has been eyeing your role for a long time. Even though it's just one scene, it's pretty good.

Before I had time to say anything, Harvey recommended you to the director. Today, Lara brought her younger sister and went to the director saying that she wanted your cameo

role. The director said that as long as Harvey isn't upset, she can call the shots on this."

Selena understood that Lara had already taken a fancy to that character before they went to the golf club.

That was why Lara was acting weird and targeted her when they were at the club.

Until now, Lara still targeted Selena because Harvey took the role that Lara wanted.

It was ridiculous that Lara used these underhanded tricks.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Nelson. I didn't tell Harvey because I was afraid that he would find trouble with Lara. The manager told me to take care of Harvey and ensure that nothing will go wrong. But I think you and Harvey are good friends, and you're his fans, so you won't hate him because of this matter."

Selena could not help but smile at the assistant's sincere look.

"Don't worry. I’m his loyal fan!"

Selena waved her hand. "Go back to Harvey. I'll get going first."

The assistant nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked back.

Selena sighed and walked out casually.

At a gazebo not far away, Mr. Griffin was serving Eric a cup of tea.

When Selena walked over, Mr. Griffin was slightly taken aback. He smiled at her with a slightly embarrassed look.

He probably felt bad because of the change of roles.

Why did he feel embarrassed?

If he had not agreed, Lara would not have had the courage.

Selena sneered because she thought Mr. Griffin was cute before.

What utter bullsh*t!

The sound of her high heels clicked past the gazebo.

In the end, Eric heard her.

"Selena?"

With a deep voice, Eric stopped her.

It was like he saw her.

Mr. Griffin froze slightly and looked at him in surprise.

The corners of Eric's lips tightened.

"Selena, is that you?"

Selena sighed. She wanted to go for a walk by herself, but now that she was discovered, there was no need for that.

She turned around and walked to the gazebo.

"It's me. What a coincidence, Mr. Griffin."

Mr. Griffin twitched his lips in embarrassment. "It is a

coincidence."

He also liked Selena. Although she did not have professional acting skills, her natural expression was more moving.

However, Lara was the female lead of the film. Many investors would put their people in a film. This was already an unwritten rule in the industry.

Mr. Griffin did not want to offend Lara just because of such a trivial matter.

After weighing his options, he agreed to Lara's request.

This was a normal thing.

He did not expect Selena to come to the set.

Although Selena came with Eric, the staff member said that Selena was sitting in the passenger seat and had no intimate interactions with Eric.

Eric also used a white cane and did not ask Selena to help him.

It showed that they were not that close.

Selena sat in one of the four chairs.

Mr. Griffin was a little upset. After all, he did not invite Selena to sit down.

Eric asked a casual question.

Mr. Griffin coughed. "Ms. Nelson, if you have something to do, why don't you go first?"

Selena paused. She suddenly remembered something and teasingly said with a smile, "Why are you so anxious to let me leave, Mr. Griffin? I don’t have many opportunities to come to the set, so I wanted to take a look around!"

Eric frowned slightly. His voice was as cold as ice.

"Mr. Griffin, didn't you ask Selena to come over to film? Why are you still here?"

Mr. Griffin was taken aback for a moment. He said with difficulty, "Haha... I don’t need to go there myself."

He also tried his best to wink at Selena.

Selena pretended not to understand and turned her head. She rested her chin on one hand and sighed, "I won’t have to film anymore, so I can leave. My cameo role was snatched away. Someone wanted my small cameo role. I was too naive."

Mr. Griffin froze and gulped. He did not expect Selena to say it so bluntly.

Eric sneered. "Is that so?"

Mr. Griffin coughed.

"It wasn't snatched away. Lara is the female lead, and her younger sister just happened to need an internship. There were no other roles suitable for her. Only this cameo role was available, so..."

"So, if this isn't stealing, what is it?"

Eric's voice suddenly became cold.

"Lara is so capable that she could override the director, huh? As an investor, I didn’t arrange for anyone to join the film. But she can casually squeeze someone out?"

The director heard that Eric's tone was off and quickly said," Mr. Ferguson, this is the norm in the entertainment circle. Lara's request isn't overboard. Besides, it’s just one scene, so I agreed to it."

Eric’s expression was cold and gloomy.

His whole body was exuding an indifferent chill.

"Mr. Griffin, if you’re put in such a difficult situation, it seems like I've misjudged you. You can't even handle your cast members, so it seems that there’s no need for me to continue to invest in this film."

As Eric spoke, he stood up and held up a hand.

"Selena, let's go home."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2559 - Screwed Up

Selena embraced Eric's arm, deliberately wanting to piss off the director. Then, she raised her chin provocatively.

She followed Eric out smugly.

Mr. Griffin saw how intimate the two of them were, and his face turned pale. He suddenly felt that his mind was blank.

Oops, he screwed up!

"Wait, Mr. Ferguson! We can discuss this. I’ll ask Lara's sister to leave. Of course, we’ll reserve the guest role for Ms. Nelson..."

He ran over as he spoke and tried to stop Eric as best as he could.

"Mr. Ferguson, let’s discuss the investment. We just started filming today, so how could you withdraw your investment?”

Eric sneered. His voice was cold without a hint of warmth or emotion.

"I have the final say on my money, Mr. Griffin. To put it bluntly, I never had any hope for your film. The money I earn from you isn't enough for me to buy clothes for someone else. The reason I invested in your film is because my woman has a cameo role in it. Otherwise, why would I come here?”

His words were harsh and resolute.

He did not show Mr. Griffin any respect.

Even Selena was stunned.

This was the first time Eric had spoken out about their relationship in an open and honest manner.

Eric held Selena's hand tightly. His face was cold and stern.

"Since you've replaced her, I’ll just invest in another director and film."

Eric’s face was rigid. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, and no one could see the emotions in his eyes, Selena could feel that Eric was on the verge of anger.

"Mr. Ferguson, I didn't know about your relationship with Ms. Nelson. I thought she was just a fan that Harvey recommended. I didn't know because she keeps saying that she doesn’t know you well..."

Mr. Griffin innocently wanted to explain himself.

However, Selena rolled her eyes.

Eric took her arm.

"Let’s get in the car."

He did not want to hear Mr. Griffin's remorseful explanation.

This stupid b*stard picked Lara's sister over Selena, so he was asking for it!

Selena did not want to stay any longer because it was getting awkward.

After all, she had seen Mr. Griffin's ingratiating behavior before.

Selena quickly brought Eric into the car while Mr. Griffin was still trying to explain and make amends on the side.

As soon as the bodyguards in the car came over, they pulled Mr. Griffin aside and shrugged him off.

It was useless no matter what he said.

When the two got into the car, Eric was still livid.

He took out his phone and handed it to Selena.

"Call Mitchell."

Selena paused. She knew that he meant what he said.

She hesitated and said, "Eric, it’s not necessary. The cast of that film is huge, and everyone is paying attention to it. It will definitely become popular."

Selena was just using Eric to provoke the director.

She did not intend to actually screw things up.

Eric took her hand away from his arm angrily and said in an annoyed voice, "You're such a hypocrite. You only know how to beat and scold me, but when others bully you, you can't even say a word. You even wanted to let them go? Do you really think my money comes easy? If I didn't see you at the golf club, I wouldn’t have bothered to speak to that Griffin guy. They secretly replaced you and let you come here for nothing. Do you really want to forget about it? I can't. That's just a slap in my face!"

Eric was obviously angry, but Selena was slightly shocked.

"You really invested in this film because of me?"

Selena felt like something hit her heart, and she was a little shocked.

It was such a popular cast, but Eric only invested in the film because of her.

Selena never dreamed that she would be pampered like that one day.

Eric had already done so much before they reconciled.

Selena’s heart was complicated at this time.

Inexplicable emotions lingered in her chest.

Eric snorted coldly and admitted bluntly.

"If not? Did I invest because a director flattered me? Or did I invest because of an over-40-year-old high-risk actress who had no acting skills? Selena, you've always been smart.

Didn't I give you enough hints on the golf course?"

Eric felt that he had expressed himself very blatantly at that time.

He taught her to play golf, picked up the ball for her, and even allowed her to be confident in front of everyone.

Eric only did this because he doted on her, but Selena did not even notice.

Selena paused. She pursed her lips and said, "I really didn't

expect that when we were on the golf course. I just thought you wanted to take advantage of me!"

Eric was speechless and exasperated.

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Eric urged her. "Call Mitchell now. I have other things to tell him."

Selena nodded. Not wanting to delay his work, Selena dialed Mitchell's number and handed the phone to Eric.

Her heart was a mess, but also a little sweet.

She never had this feeling before.

However, she only allowed herself to be immersed in it for a minute.

Selena sobered up instantly.

She could not be fooled by Eric's generosity.

Mitchell quickly answered the phone. "Mr. Ferguson."

"Withdraw our investment in Griffin's film immediately. Don't delay it. In addition, who the hell is Lara? Inform all the film and television companies under our company that this woman has a bad character and reject all of her projects."

After Eric finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Selena's temples trembled. "Don't you have other things to say?"

"I'm so angry right now, and this is the only way to calm me down!"

Eric spoke righteously.

Selena pursed her lips.

She thought that it was a little too serious.

Just like that, Eric just boycotted someone.

Eric did not hear her and thought she was sympathizing with that woman.

"Don't speak for her. I will never tolerate your stupidity."

Selena took a deep breath.

"Don't worry. I'm not a saint!"

Even if this punishment was a little serious, Lara was asking for it.

It was easy for Eric to boycott Lara, just like how it was easy for Lara to bully Selena.

Selena stopped sympathizing with her and thought that it was better to hurt her.

She paused and moved over to lean against Eric, smelling the warm scent on his body. Her heart was pounding.

'Thank you, Eric."

Selena was grateful that someone who could do anything for profit prioritized her instead.

This was the first time Selena felt so unconditionally loved.

A small vine was trying to take root and sprout in her heart.

Eric sighed helplessly and patted her head.

"Selena, there are so many advantages to being with me. One of which is that you never have to bow to anyone, including me."

"It sounds like you're trying to sell yourself..."

'There’s no need for that. Didn't I already get you?"

Selena was speechless.

Eric continued, "You just have to be better at discovering my strengths. Look. Although your idol Harvey introduced you to this film, he can't stand up for you. This shows that goodlooking men aren’t reliable!"

On the set, Mr. Griffin was devastated and did not know what to do.

He postponed the filming.

The assistant director had already taken several shots of Lara’s sister, but none of them passed.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2560 -Although Lara's younger sister was an acting major, her performance was all skill and lacked emotion. Her facial expressions and movements were very rigid on camera.

Most importantly, she was not pretty, i

She was the kind of person passersby would not give a second glance at in a crowd.

She had no aptitude for acting.

However, she still put on airs.

She relied on the fact that she was Lara's sister and was rude to the assistant director.

After taking three shots in a row, the assistant director said nicely, "Let's take another one?"

Lara’s sister became angry all of a sudden and cried aggrievedly in front of so many people. She even accused the assistant director of bullying her as a newcomer.

The assistant director was stunned and so angry that he could not say a word.

Lara watched from the side and comforted her sister. Then, she went over to the assistant director with a smile.

"Is it not passable? It's just one scene, so just let it pass if it's acceptable. After all, it can't be too good, lest she steals the protagonist’s limelight!"

What else could the assistant director say if Lara already said this?

Thus, the assistant director had no choice but to wrap up this shot and deemed it a failure.

This scene was a memory of the male lead's first love, who only had to turn around gently and face the camera.

This scene was intended to stun the audience.

As a result, the clip that was filmed was not at all stunning, but almost frightening.

The audience would probably start to doubt the male lead's taste in women.

The assistant director sighed.

A short break was announced.

Lara led her sister to the side.

Her younger sister grew up pampered and had a higher starting point than others. Her older sister was Lara, so she also had a hot temper.

"Are you tired?"

"I’m not tired, but the crew said that the woman I replaced came in the same car as Eric Ferguson. Do they have a special relationship?"

Younger girls were more sensitive to gossip.

Lara smiled meaningfully and smugly.

"Don't worry. How could Eric Ferguson be interested in her? She's just working as a nanny for him now and is only qualified to sit in the passenger seat next to the driver.

Look, when I said that you were going to replace her, that woman didn't even dare to fight back. That's why you landed the role." i

Her younger sister smiled. "Thanks, Lara." i

"You're welcome."

The two were talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very cordial.

Not far away, Mr. Griffin was furious and walked over angrily.

The assistant director quickly stood up. Just as he was about to say something, Mr. Griffin went straight to Lara.

"Mr. Ferguson has withdrawn his investment because your sister snatched Selena's role. I just received the notice two minutes ago, and now, our shoot is canceled!"

Mr. Griffin's face and neck were flushed.

He was also regretful, i

Eric did not give him any leeway.

It took less than three minutes from when Eric left to when he received the call.

It was clear how serious Eric was.

The investment he landed disappeared.

Thus, he was not so polite to Lara anymore.

If it was not for Lara, how could he have offended Eric?

What the hell!

Lara's face was stiff and pale from the shock. She stood there helplessly.

"Mr. Griffin, I... Why would Mr. Ferguson help Selena vent her anger? I thought they didn’t have a special relationship. Is it for other reasons?"

Mr. Griffin was so furious that he wanted to jump up and scold her to vent his anger.

"Eric made it clear that he invested in this film because of Selena's cameo appearance. Since we replaced her, he'll invest in another film and director. Lara, you’ve been in the industry for so long, but you still haven't figured it out yet? You offended Eric Ferguson because Selena is his woman. I don't want to talk about you now. This movie is over, and my efforts are wasted! The entire cast and crew are done for!"

They had to disband on the first day of work.

What a joke!

However, this was exactly what happened.

Mr. Griffin shouted hysterically and did not even know how to save the situation.

Lara stood there with a pale face and was in disbelief.

Her smug look just now disappeared.

Her expression crumbled little by little.

The situation changed so fast that she did not even have time to digest the information.

Her younger sister said nervously, "What? That b*tch is really having an affair with Mr. Ferguson? There are too many examples of nannies hooking up with their employers now. Lara, we've been fooled..."

"Shut up! Who are you to be talking about Mr. Ferguson's private affairs?"

Mr. Griffin was so livid that he was about to explode.

Lara's sister stood there with an aggrieved face and felt frustrated.

Lara was still calm and settled her mind.

"Director, what should I do? I don't want anything to happen to our film either. I’m willing to do anything for our cast."

Lara looked fearless, as if she could sacrifice herself at any time.

Mr. Griffin was not in the mood to pay attention to other things at the moment. Thus, he gritted his teeth.

"You should go to Eric and Selena now and apologize. I don’t care how you do it. You need to make Eric change his mind and let Selena forgive you!"

Lara paused. Her face was glum.

"Okay, I'll talk it out. At worst, I'll ask my sister to quit and

return the role to Selena."

"Hah! Stop daydreaming. You have no say in anything even if I replace you with Selena as the female lead. The film can't stop just because of your stupid mistake!" i

Mr. Griffin angrily pointed at her and yelled in front of so many people.

Everyone kept quiet.

Even when Lara was scolded, she did not dare to retort.

Her face turned red and white. It was quite amusing to watch.

At this time, Lara's manager hurried over with her phone.

It seemed that something big happened.

She ran up to Lara and said nervously, "What’s going on? The next movie that you have a contract with is now replacing you with someone else. All the brand endorsements that you have are also announcing your contract termination online. Everyone is just waiting for you to fail. The netizens dug up all the debts that your ex- husband owed. Even though he was in debt, he still bought you designer bags. It caused such a frenzy!"

Lara felt dizzy for a while.

She was getting old, so she could not take such a blow. She could not accept this sudden change for a while.

It was not easy for her to gain such popularity, and she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and come up with a few good works. Many actresses that were like her in the circle did the same.

How did she get so unlucky?

The manager was so angry that she did not notice so many people were around them.

Now that she realized it, her face turned pale.

Lara’s younger sister cursed.

"It's all that b*tch Selena's fault! She bewitched Eric to blacklist you. Who else can be blamed? It's just a cameo role. I don’t even care for it! Why do they ned to hless?"
