Ch. 2591..2600

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2591-Eric paused and pursed his lips.

"No, they wanted to come by themselves. They said that your maiden family should be at your wedding and came to see you off."

Eric did not think much of it and did not care because he could handle them easily. The Nelsons just wanted to get some benefits from him.

He just did not expect Selena to have such a strong reaction.

Eric regretted it a little.

If he had known earlier, he would not have done this.

The eldest aunt stood there in embarrassment and looked eagerly at Selena and Eric.

"Selena may be tired, so we'll go outside first. You guys can talk!"

Selena snorted coldly.

"Let me make it clear. I don't have a maiden family. They're all dead. You know exactly what these people want to use me for. Eric, if you dare to give them any favors, we don't need to get married. We can go straight to City Hall and get a divorce. Don’t even say sh*t like being from a well- matched family. I’m not biologically related to the Nelsons, so why should I sell myself twice for them?"

Selena's voice was cold and stern. She seemed really angry.

She walked outside afterward without caring about the Nelsons' attitude and reaction.

What the hell!

Did she look like a living saint?

After Selena left, the Nelsons carefully looked at Eric’s face, which was cold and glum.

They suddenly felt uneasy.

Eric loosened his collar. His voice was hoarse and cold.

"I wanted to make her happy, but I didn't expect you guys would annoy her so much. That just means you’re all useless. I'll get someone to send you away. You’re not allowed to appear in front of her again."

"Mr. Ferguson, you can't listen to her one-sided opinion. It’s normal for Selena to have a little temper. She has always been so unscrupulous and disrespectful, but she's a

member of the Nelson family. How can she not associate herself with us?”

The eldest aunt could not help but speak first.

Eric glanced at her coldly, and the aunt’s heart trembled.

Under Eric’s menacing gaze, she shuddered a little.

Eric did not want to say much at first, so he just left.

Jennifer stopped him recklessly from behind.

"Mr. Ferguson, Selena has always been good at handling men, so I advise you to keep your eyes open. Back then, she eloped with a bodyguard and fooled around with men abroad. Her private life isn't very clean. Haven't you looked into this? Selena just wants to play hard to get and abuse your power once you marry her. Mr. Ferguson, we..."

Before Jennifer finished speaking, Eric turned around abruptly. His deep black gaze fell on Jennifer.

He was silent as he watched her.

Jennifer was taken aback for a moment and forgot what she wanted to say next.

She was distracted, and her heart was racing because such an outstanding and tall person was watching her.

Her face heated up slightly.

Jennifer was about to gather her thoughts and continue speaking when Eric suddenly took big strides and stood in front of her.

Jennifer's heart skipped a beat.

The next second, Eric's big hand grabbed Jennifer's neck.

Eric was very strong, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

He was exuding a frightening chill, and he looked like a falcon about to catch its prey.

Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. Her face flushed red from the pain, and her useless struggle in his hands seemed even more ridiculous.

Eric tightened his jaw. His eyes were deep, dark, cold, and gloomy.

The uncle and aunt finally came to their senses and stepped forward.

"Mr. Ferguson, what... What are you doing? Jennifer!"

Although the two felt sorry for their daughter, none of them dared to stop Eric.

Jennifer twisted and struggled in pain, but it was useless.

As Eric tightened his grip inch by inch, Jennifer’s face gradually appeared purple.

"How dare you slander my wife in front of me? No wonder she hates you so much. I'm not a gentleman, so I will hit a woman if necessary. If you dare to badmouth her again, I’ll skin you alive!" ’

Eric’s words were like the cold wind on a winter night. It was bone-chilling.

Suddenly, Eric let go of Jennifer.

Jennifer was so frightened that her legs buckled, and she knelt on the ground. She coughed violently while clutching her neck.

Eric was not as honest and kind as he appeared on the surface. He had no scruples when he attacked someone, both men and women.

Eric glanced coldly at the Nelsons, then turned around and walked out.

If today was not his wedding day, he would never have let them go so easily.

Jennifer’s body was tense, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her mother eagerly went to see her.

Her father did not dare to say a word as he watched his family being humiliated and bullied.

His lips just trembled from anger and fear.

Jennifer cried hysterically. She felt ashamed, angry, and uncomfortable.

Eric’s cold but disdainful eyes had no trace of warmth when he looked at her.

When Eric was with Selena, he was completely different.

Jennifer had a bold thought, but it was over in less than a minute.

As soon as Eric went out, a smile appeared on his face.

It was his big day, so he should smile.

Mitchell hurried over, looked up at Eric, and stepped forward.

"Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Grant Stanton from Stanton Corporation is here, as well as Ms. Stanton and Mr. Sloan. Do you want to go over and say hello?"

Eric's eyes lowered slightly. He slowly buttoned the cuffs that got accidentally unbuttoned just now.

His movements were gentle and smooth.

Eric responded casually and turned his head slightly.

"Send those people in the room away immediately. Don't let them stay here to be an eyesore."

Mitchell immediately realized who Eric was referring to and nodded. "Yes, sir."

The Nelson family was the only exception here.

They were not on the guest list because they were not qualified to be invited.

However, the Nelsons repeatedly came to their door, so Eric gave them an invitation.

The situation was awry, so they must be sent away immediately.

"Where's my wife?"

Eric changed the way he addressed Selena very quickly.

It was as if he could not wait to announce that she was his.

Mitchell was taken aback for a moment and immediately said, "She's saying hello to Ms. Stanton and the others."

Eric paused. He frowned and suddenly felt a little flustered.

He nodded calmly on the surface and let Mitchell deal with the Nelson family while he walked forward along the path.

Eric booked the entire island and had security guards and surveillance cameras everywhere.

The guest’s walking path was also specially designed. The neon lights on both sides of the road were like the shining starry sky.

It was almost dusk, and the sky gradually turned dark blue.

Eric saw the people standing at the white bouquet entrance - the Stantons and that annoying fox Clayton.

Clayton held an adorable girl in his arms, who had a flower wreath on her head. The girl greeted Selena with a smile.

Nicole was wearing a dark green satin dress. She looked so soft and gentle as she stood there with a bright smile, talking and laughing with Selena.

Selena was also smiling from the heart.

Selena was wearing a simple white dress that looked like a wedding dress. The white dress was like a lily in the morning mist, delicate and beautiful.

Eric took a few glances at Selena and was relieved that nothing seemed wrong with her.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2592-Clayton saw Eric walking over.

He smiled brightly and sincerely, and his eyes were warm.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ferguson!"

Clayton squeezed Chatty, who was in his arms, and said, " Baby, you should congratulate Uncle Eric for getting married!"

Chatty smiled at Eric.

"Congratulations, Uncle Eric for your happy marriage!"

Eric coughed in embarrassment and felt very uncomfortable.

'Thanks."

Grant nodded. "Congratulations, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson."

Selena nodded.

Nicole walked over with a smile. "Grant, you should address her as Mrs. Ferguson, not Ms. Nelson."

Grant smiled. "Sorry, Mrs. Ferguson, it was a slip of the tongue."

"The wedding isn't over yet, so calling me Ms. Nelson is a sign of respect. I understand."

Selena said with a smile.

Nicole smiled. "Congratulations, Selena! Julie wanted to come, but she couldn't take a flight because she had serious morning sickness due to her pregnancy. My third brother is with her now. I brought over their gifts though!"

Selena smiled in surprise. "Really? I haven't congratulated her personally yet!"

"It's only been three months, and they haven't had time to make it public yet. Let's wait for an opportunity to get together again."

Nicole smiled brightly and looked at Eric. She could not help but size him up.

"Mr. Ferguson, you finally seem a little more human today. You're a changed man now that you're married. I was worried about Selena because of that commotion online a few days ago. But you guys turned it around so well.

Everyone is looking forward to this wedding!"

Clayton could not help but laugh. His smile widened, and he could not hide his joy.

'That's right. When I found out that you made it public, I was so excited that it kept me up all night. I'm so happy for you. I even postponed a lot of business engagements to attend your wedding and chose gifts myself, Mr. Ferguson. I hope you'll open them yourself!"

Clayton looked at Selena and said politely, "Mrs. Ferguson, Mr. Ferguson is a bit impatient, so you must be more forgiving. Don't stoop to his level. Marriage is about growing old together. If you have any difficulties, you can come to us since we’re friends..."

Eric's face became darker and colder as he tried to restrain his emotions.

Nicole quickly tugged Clayton's arm.

"Clayton!"

Clayton suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "I’ve said too much. It's a good day today. I am just as happy as you!"

He even showed his pearly whites when he smiled.

Clayton was happier than Eric, the groom.

Selena understood something and could not help but laugh. She then looked at Eric teasingly.

Eric did not want to make the situation worse. He just glanced at Clayton coldly, lowered his head, and embraced Selena’s shoulders.

'Thanks, everyone for all your blessings. Don't worry. We'll grow old together. Make yourselves comfortable. We have something else to attend to."

After that, Eric took Selena in his arms and wanted to leave.

Selena turned her head and waved goodbye to Nicole.

Nicole also smiled and waved. Then, she looked at Clayton reproachfully.

"How can you say this in front of Selena?"

Clayton touched his nose and felt a little guilty.

"I was too excited. I was worried and afraid that this was a fake marriage."

Grant stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"I understand. No wonder Mr. Ferguson didn't send an invitation to you, but to the Stanton family instead. Bro, you must've been holding back these words for several years, huh?"

Clayton's smile became brighter. "Only you understand me, Big Brother!"

Grant was speechless.

Nicole rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to put Chatty down on the floor.

"Chatty, do you want to go and play?"

Chatty swung her short legs.

"No. My new leather shoes will get wet. I want Daddy to carry me."

Clayton could not help but laugh.

"Okay, Daddy will carry you."

Nicole coughed.

Clayton withdrew his hand, straightened his face, and said," Daddy's leg is starting to hurt again. Baby, you love Daddy, right? Can you walk by yourself?"

Chatty looked up at her father in distress.

Clayton's legs recovered fairly quickly. He could already walk freely without crutches.

Chatty liked to lie on Clayton’s shoulder and asked Clayton to carry her wherever they went.

Thus, everytime Clayton whined about the pain, Chatty would believe him.

She gently touched Clayton's leg and nodded.

"Okay. I’m a brave baby, so I can walk by myself."

Chatty went over to hold Clayton and Nicole's hands and happily swung between them.

"Why isn't Fischer back yet?”

Nicole explained with a smile.

"Fischer’s parents took him home. He’ll come back when he's on vacation."

"But I miss him so much.”

Chatty's voice was low.

Seeing his daughter's disappointed face, Clayton could not help but lower his head and whispered something in her ear.

Chatty immediately raised her head happily, and her eyes glimmered.

"Really?!"

“Yes."

Clayton smiled.

Chatty let go of Chatty's hand and turned around to touch Nicole's belly.

"Hi, little brother!"

Nicole was taken aback for a moment. She looked up at Clayton in shock.

"How do you know?"

She felt that something was wrong recently and just noticed that she might be pregnant. She had not gone for a proper check-up yet.

Clayton smiled. "Of course, I know. You had the same reaction when you were carrying Chatty back then."

He did not ask Nicole immediately because the news of Eric's marriage was too sudden.

The double surprise overwhelmed Clayton.

Nicole did not mean to hide it from him. She smiled softly and said, "It’s not confirmed yet, so don't tell anyone."

"I know."

Clayton walked over to hold her hand. His eyes were brimming with joy and tenderness.

Chatty's parents stopped holding her hands, so she could only go and hold Grant's hand.

Grant smiled and picked her up. "Levi is coming over tomorrow, so you can play with him tomorrow. Are you happy?"

'Yes!"

Chatty was not picky with who was carrying her because she was comfortable with Grant.

Although Clayton said that he came to attend the wedding, he was actually here on vacation.

Even if he was casually chatting with others about business, he insisted on taking Nicole with him and did not let her leave his sight.

Nicole knew that he was worried about her, but she also felt that he was too cautious.

It was getting late.

There were many people on the beach.

The air was sweet.

Expensive desserts and drinks were supplied continuously, and the flowers were freshly imported.

Eric took Selena’s hand to greet the guests.

Although Selena was bored, she had no choice but to listen to other people’s compliments.

"Mrs. Ferguson, you're so beautiful! You’re prettier than a movie star!"

"Mrs. Ferguson, you're so blessed. Your wedding dress is custom-made from France, right? Is your giant ring also

custom-made? I'm so envious!" 'Congratulations, Mrs. Ferguson..."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2593 -Selena was so sick of hearing everyone's flattery.

Eric nodded in agreement.

He was more satisfied the more exaggerated the compliments were.

Eric looked like he was just deceiving himself.

Finally, the people left.

Selena restrained her smile and said in a low voice, 'Til go back and rest for a while. You can stay here by yourself."

"How could you be so heartless and leave me here alone?"

Eric held her waist tightly, not intending to let go.

Selena clicked her tongue and was about to say something when Chance ran over holding Chatty's hand.

"Daddy, I want to go to France with Chatty!"

Eric's eyebrows twitched.

Fortunately, the sky was a bit dark, so it hid his glum face.

"What did you say?"

"Chatty wants to go to France to find Fischer, and I want to protect her!"

Chance said cautiously.

Eric looked at his son with dark eyes.

Hah!

If Chance left with Chatty, Clayton would certainly go crazy!

Eric also did not want to be disturbed by Clayton on his wedding day.

"Let's talk about it later."

Eric did not want to refuse in front of Chatty.

Selena took the opportunity to let go of Eric's arm and went to hold Chatty's hand.

"Chatty, shall I take you to your mommy?"

Chatty nodded happily.

She turned her head to Chance and said, "Chance, I also like your new mommy very much!"

Chance's face flushed slightly.

Selena could not help but laugh, then she took Chatty's hand and walked out.

Eric knew that Selena wanted a break, so he did not stop her.

Selena held both children's hands and bumped into Nicole, who was coincidentally looking for her daughter.

When Nicole saw them, she smiled, walked over, and pinched the little girl’s face.

"Who allowed you to run around? I'll tell your daddy later!"

Chatty pursed her lips in a grievance. "I went to say hello to Chance!"

Chance went over to wipe Chatty's tears, but there were none.

However, he still held Chatty’s hand in distress.

"Aunt Nicole, Chatty and I will play over there..."

There was a bonfire and music over there. It was very lively.

Nicole nodded. "Okay, be careful!"

The two children bounced away.

Nicole straightened up, looked at Selena, and said with a smile, "You look so pretty today."

Selena lowered her head in embarrassment. "You've always been beautiful."

"Let's stop flattering each other. I'm here to sincerely congratulate you today. Although my family and the Ferguson family have a history, we still put our interests first. But I don't think Eric was putting his interests first when marrying you."

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. The evening wind blew. Her eyes were languid.

"It's not about interests. It's just the most favorable choice at the time."

"You two got married for love. Why are you thinking so pessimistically? Eric won’t do things he doesn't want to or marry someone he doesn't like. He must be really in love with you, so he wants to make your relationship public."

Nicole said it naturally. Her voice was gentle and pleasant.

A corner of Selena's heart was inexplicably moved.

For some reason, her eyes found Eric in the crowd.

His stern face was a bit lazy and frivolous, and there was a faint joy in his eyes.

On certain occasions, he was always flamboyant if he wanted to.

"Love?" Selena looked confused.

She did not know whether Eric was forced to get married or if he wanted to because of love.

Nicole smiled. "Look at the way Eric looks at you! His eyes are so bright and warm. This is the way he looks at the person he loves. He only looks at others with motive and indifference. Selena, you may be confused because you're involved. I don't know what you two have gone through, but as outsiders, we can all see that Eric is sincere and serious about you."

Selena lowered her eyes to conceal the fluctuations in her heart. She said with a faint smile, "He is sincere, but I'm not sure it's love. He has always been willing to put up an act."

"I understand. Before getting someone's whole heart, you wouldn’t easily believe in his sincerity because you’re afraid of getting hurt. Selena, what are your doubts?"

Selena raised her head. Her eyes were a little defeated.

"He doesn’t love me, so what should I be happy about?”

"How do you know he doesn't love you?"

Nicole looked at her.

Selena pursed her lips, opened her mouth, then closed it again. She lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent.

Everyone knew who Eric really loved.

The surrounding atmosphere was warm and lively, but Nicole could feel Selena’s depression and indifference.

Nicole pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

"I see. You think he loves someone else, don't you?"

Nicole exposed her thoughts, which made Selena a little embarrassed.

After all, Selena knew that Nicole was married and that Nicole no longer liked Eric.

It was just Eric’s wishful thinking, but Selena still felt a little uncomfortable.

Nicole smiled and sighed.

"Eric and I were married, but he never touched me. I broke up with him as soon as our time was up. There are indeed divergent opinions about our relationship on the internet, but I don’t think it’s worth talking about the past, so I have never responded to those comments. Selena, if you believe that a man can be so obsessed about what he can't get, then you should also believe that this obsession can be transferred to other people. He doesn't love me that deeply. Rather than saying that he loves someone else, it's better to say that the two of you haven't really looked into your own hearts."

Nicole's voice was crisp and clear. She looked into the distance.

"But it doesn't matter. You two have a long time to get along. Selena, you have to try to trust him."

Selena's eyes flickered slightly, and she could not help but look at Nicole.

Nicole smiled beautifully. Her eyes were radiant, and she stood there with such a unique grace.

For some reason, the haze in Selena’s heart quietly disappeared when she heard Nicole's words.

Nicole was so straightforward with Selena that Selena had no room to retort.

Everyone believed that Eric loved Selena.

Was Selena really too suspicious and tangled?

It seemed like Nicole and Eric's past was not so unforgettable. Since Nicole could speak of the past so calmly, it seemed that she really did not care about it.

Selena thought too much about Eric’s past and thought that Eric's love for Nicole was as deep as the sea.

In fact, it was not to this extent.

For some reason, Selena's heart suddenly became brighter and clearer.

Just as she was about to say something, the musicians suddenly changed to another piece of music.

Everyone consciously made their way to the sides, forming a clear path from the bonfire to where Selena was standing.

Eric walked out from the middle. His eyes were clear, his figure was straight and tall, and his facial features were like works of art. He looked handsome, happy, and hopeful.

Selena paused and thought that this was not part of the itinerary.

What was Eric doing?

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2594 -Eric walked over, looking strong and confident. However, he deliberately restrained his nature so that people would not feel oppressed.

He glanced at Nicole calmly. Nicole consciously took a step back and handed over the things he had prepared.

Eric took it over, took out the contents, and slowly got down on one knee in front of everyone.

Selena's face froze slightly.

Suddenly, someone shouted. "Look, it's a drone...’’

Selena could not help but look up.

The night sky, which was originally full of stars, suddenly had countless drones.

The drones formed an image of a man on one knee while the woman was standing.

The large area was lit up by the drones.

Even her skirt and her fingers were clearly outlined.

It seemed that their current actions had been infinitely magnified in the night sky.

They were on the beach, and the breeze was cool.

Selena's heart was racing.

She could subtly detect the movement around her.

However, her ears seemed to be covered by a thin barrier.

She could hear everything, but it did not register.

The exclamation and admiration of the people around them could not be described.

When Eric knelt on the ground and gently took Selena’s hand, the drones in the night sky also changed their formation to mirror his actions.

Selena was indescribably shocked and surprised.

Selena would be dull if she still did not know what he was going to do.

Eric asked Nicole to pass him the ring so that everyone could witness his love and marriage to Selena.

This was another way for Eric to prove his sincere love.

Selena's doubts were mostly cleared because of what Nicole said at first, but now, Selena completely let go of it because of Eric's actions.

Perhaps, she should have believed him earlier.

Her heart was aching and pounding with excitement.

Eric knelt on one knee. His lips opened and closed, and he was saying something. Selena could not hear him clearly.

When Selena looked into his dark eyes, which were clear and frank. A warm current surged in her heart.

She wanted to go all out to love him until the end of time.

She would stick to her beliefs and gamble everything.

Eric was worth it.

Selena instantly let go of all her worries.

It was exciting and charming like the waves of the sea.

When everyone witnessing was applauding, Eric gently put the ring on her ring finger.

This brand-new ring was more exquisite, dazzling, and larger than the other ring on her hand.

It was certainly priceless.

Selena smiled. Eric smiled too.

Then, Eric stood up and hugged her tightly.

He whispered in her ear.

"Selena, I will definitely treat you well and risk my life for you."

Selena smiled and put her arms around him.

"Eric, I’ll treat you well too."

It was only fair to reciprocate it.

Her whole life was full of ups and downs and loneliness. Finally on this night, she felt settled.

The wedding on the next day was mysterious and extravagant.

Selena willingly changed into her wedding dress this time and asked the makeup artist to help her dress up.

Chatty liked to run around with Chance, and Chance had never let go of her hand for a moment.

He pulled her over to introduce her to this and that and brought her delicious ice cream.

Every time Clayton turned around and could not find his precious daughter, he felt a complicated emotion.

The wedding ceremony was held as scheduled.

Chaz walked Selena down the aisle.

He was her only companion in distress.

Eric had no objections since Chaz liked men anyway.

Chaz was not the enemy.

Many elite ladies were heartbroken.

Even if they did not want to witness this wedding, they were forced to smile and congratulate the couple.

Besides Eric and Selena, Clayton was the happiest person at the wedding.

Clayton was not just happy. He even drank a lot of wine on Eric's behalf for fear of delaying Eric’s consummation of marriage.

Eric sneered when he saw this and did not care.

The wedding lasted three days.

Everyone left one after another.

Eric and Selena stayed until the end because they still had to go on their honeymoon.

It was a bit extravagant for Eric, but to celebrate his marriage, he gave himself slightly more than one month off.

The guests left, and Chance went back to school.

Eric was a little tired these days and finally had a chance to calm down. He sat down and wanted to see Selena.

"Mrs. Ferguson, where do you want to go first?"

Eric opened the door, but no one was in the dressing room.

He froze for a moment and went out to find a servant.

"Where’s the madam?"

The servant was stunned. "She was just here. Hasn't she been in the room the entire time?”

Eric's expression changed slightly. He felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

He pursed his lips and felt that he was making a fuss again.

Eric patiently went to every room to look for Selena, but he could not find her.

It felt like cold water was poured over his head after the celebration.

Eric stood at the door with a gloomy face.

"Go find her and check the surveillance."

He took his phone and dialed Selena's number, but it was out of the service area.

Selena would not leave for no reason.

She was happy these few days, and Eric knew it.

Eric felt inexplicably flustered for no reason.

He paused and called Mitchell.

"Have you sent off all the members of the Nelson family?"

"Yes, Mr. Ferguson. I watched them get on the plane with my own eyes."

Eric’s expression darkened. "Find out where they are now."

"Yes, sir."

Mitchell hung up the phone. He had a feeling that something was wrong, so he went to investigate immediately.

In the afternoon, the information that the bodyguards gathered arrived at the office.

Selena's aunt and uncle appeared near Nelson Residence, but Jennifer never showed up.

Mitchell quickly called the private jet company.

"It was three people. Those three people arrived at the destination."

"Were there any other planes flying to and from the island?"

"We controlled the air traffic during that time. Mr. Ferguson

did let some planes transport supplies and drinks back and forth, and pick up and drop off guests..."

Mitchell paused.

He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Mitchell reported the information he got to Eric.

Eric remained silent, and then ordered in an indifferent voice, "Find out Jennifer Nelson's whereabouts and capture her parents. Send them here."

"Yes, sir."

Eric was impatient and loosened his collar.

The security before and after the wedding was adequate.

Eric thought about the possibility of his enemies making a move during this time and had already sent someone to watch them.

The only episode that was unexpected was the Nelson family's sudden appearance on the eve of the wedding, which upset Selena.

Eric acted uncharacteristically and punished Jennifer by himself.

He did not expect Jennifer to be so courageous to want revenge.

The bodyguard came out of the room, along with the butler of the hotel.

Their expressions were very strange.

"Mr. Ferguson, there is no surveillance in the dressing room, so we can only see Ms. Nelson go from the living room to the dressing room. She never came out again. There are no traces of her elsewhere."

How could someone disappear out of thin air?

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2595 -Eric held a cigarette in his hand. His face was extremely solemn, and his eyes were dark and unpredictable.

No one could see what he was thinking.

He seemed like a completely different person from the high-spirited groom a few days ago.

Eric was gloomy, cold, and wild. His unhappiness found an outlet.

Everyone searched the entire hotel, but they could not find Selena, who disappeared.

At last, Eric stubbed out the cigarette. He raised his eyes slightly and frowned as he looked at the person in charge of the hotel.

"Is there a secret passage in the hotel?"

The person in charge trembled slightly. "No..."

Eric gave the bodyguards a look.

The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and kicked the person in charge to the ground.

The person in charge could not get up because of the pain.

The bodyguard pressed that person's head to the ground viciously.

Eric sat there with dark eyes.

"Be honest. If nothing happens to my wife, I’ll let you go. If something happens to her, I’ll kill your entire family.

At this time, Eric was no longer the approachable person he was two days ago.

That was a disguise, and this was the real Eric — indifferent, domineering, and not to mess with.

Eric was like a beast that had been suppressed for a long time.

The person in charge was trembling all over, and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

"Mr. Ferguson, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I suddenly remembered that place. When you sent someone over to ask about it, I couldn’t find it, so I didn’t say anything." "Explain."

Eric could not bear it anymore.

The passing of every minute meant that Selena was in more danger.

He could not tolerate the idea of Selena being in unknown danger.

It felt like ants were gnawing at his heart, which brought upon a dense pain that was uncomfortable.

The person in charge said apprehensively, "There is a passage in the cupboard in the dressing room that leads to the outside."

Eric immediately stood up and walked in.

The bodyguard dragged the person in charge along.

Eric opened the cupboard that Selena used to store her clothes.

Sure enough, there was a dark hole that was half the height of a person.

Immediately, Eric's face darkened. His body was stiff and straight, and his face was rigid.

The person in charge paused. "Perhaps Mrs. Ferguson was curious and went inside. No one else knows about this place."

Eric's expression was indifferent. "Let’s go in.”

He ordered in a dry voice.

The bodyguard pushed the person in charge inside, and Eric followed.

They went more than ten meters into the dark hole and saw a staircase leading down.

The person in charge explained apprehensively, "I heard that this tunnel was dug during World War II, but it hasn't been used for a long time. I had someone close the entrance of the tunnel before, but somehow, it was opened again..."

Eric was anxious. He was not in the mood to listen to the manager talk about such useless things.

They went down the stairs, which led to a relatively open space below.

However, when Eric looked up, he could see the light coming in through the gap.

It was covered by countless weeds.

However, there was a wedding ring the size of a pigeon egg on the ground, which Eric personally put on Selena.

Eric's eyes narrowed, and his breathing became tense.

He squatted down to pick it up. Then, he climbed up the stairs.

The bodyguard pushed aside the weeds and looked at the inconspicuous hole.

It was nothing more than an escape route.

However, someone took Selena away under Eric’s nose.

The blazing sun was irritating.

Eric noticed that this location was at the back of the hotel.

It was not even that far.

It had been an hour, so where would Selena be?

Eric's face was glum. He went to grab the person in charge by the collar.

"Who else knows about this place?"

The person in charge was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he could not even stand upright. He kept shaking his head.

"No one else! But there were too many people at the wedding. Maybe someone accidentally found this hole and walked into the dressing room."

Eric’s expression was gloomy and unfathomable.

The bodyguard jogged over and handed over something.

"Mr. Ferguson, I saw this on the stairs. It belongs to Madam.”

Eric took it over. It was the matching bracelet that Selena wore.

"Where?"

The bodyguard pointed out the rusty staircase at the back of the villa in the corner. It was covered with vines as if no one had set foot on it for a long time.

This staircase led straight to the top floor of the hotel. It was high, steep, and hidden among the vines and flowers on the wall.

Without looking carefully, one would not notice the metal staircase there.

Eric strode over and looked at the entrance of the stairs, where the rusty lock was pried open.

He strode up the stairs.

On the top floor of the hotel was the swimming pool.

There were many people going up to the pool during the wedding, but once the wedding was over, no one was there.

Eric had a determined and indifferent look in his eyes. He quickly climbed up the stairs, and the bodyguards also vigilantly went up to the top floor from all angles.

Someone put five to six ugly fish with sharp teeth in the top floor swimming pool which terrified Selena.

From time to time, the fish floated to the surface and revealed its sharp teeth. It was creepy.

Selena was tied up and gagged. She looked down in horror.

She was pushed on top of the pool's glass cover, which was semiautomatic to keep the pool clean.

The glass cover could automatically expand and contract to ensure the cleanliness and quality of the water.

It was like a glass trestle suspended in the air. Selena was thrown on the glass, and the ugly fish in the pool jumped up from the water from time to time, trying to tear her apart.

Selena was extremely terrified. She did not know when Eric would come to rescue her and whether he knew that she was gone.

The panic in her heart gradually spread, and she could not help but tremble all over.

A woman slowly came out from a lounge next door, dressed in a Chanel suit. Her eyes were playful.

She was holding a piece of cake that had not been taken away in time. She sat there and slowly tasted it, admiring the panic on Selena's face.

Jennifer sat there, smiled happily, and said to herself, "No one will know about this place. The most dangerous place is also the safest. Mr.

Ferguson may think that you were taken out of this small island. Just now, I saw a group of people going in the direction of the private jet. I guess they're leaving..."

Selena looked at her coldly. She wanted to say something, but she could not speak and could only mumble her words.

Jennifer could not help but laugh. She admired Selena's miserable look.

"Don't worry. When they're all gone, I’ll send you down to feed the fish.

These fish are carnivores from the sea. They have been starving for several days, so they’ll like you very much."

What a psycho!

This idea came to Selena's mind in a panic, but the fear in her heart took over.

She never thought that Jennifer would dare to do this.

Before this, Eric told Selena that he had already sent the Nelsons away and that they would not disturb her again.

How did Jennifer show up here?

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2596-Had Jennifer been hiding here for a few days?

Selena's face was pale and extremely glum. She was a little afraid of heights, yet she was hanging over a piece of glass, with ugly carnivorous fish waiting to eat her.

She could not calm the fear welling up in her heart.

Jennifer smiled smugly and appreciated the look on Selena's face. It was not an empty threat.

She was wearing a bathing suit and walked to the switch that came next to her bare thighs.

Selena shook her head in shock.

She tried to stop Jennifer but to no avail.

Her legs and arms were bound, and she struggled to stand up.

Jennifer did not give Selena a chance to speak at all because she gagged Selena's mouth.

Jennifer looked like a different person as if someone had triggered all the malice hidden in her.

The next second, Selena felt her body drop into the swimming pool.

Selena panicked and felt that it was the end of the world.

The water level in the swimming pool reached the highest level. The fish saw their prey and swam over as fast as they could.

Out of the corner of her eye, Selena thought she saw someone barging in.

However, her ears were flooded with water, so the sounds were muffled. She could only feel the pain from suffocation.

Soon, a fish pounced on her. She felt her ankle being stabbed, and the sharp pain made her tremble all over.

At the same time, another fish bit her arm.

A chunk of flesh dangled on her arm, and the blood instantly dispersed into the water like silk.

Selena felt like she was thrown into an abyss. The coldness and stinging pain made her convulse, tremble, and shudder.

The sharp-toothed ugly fish seemed to have found delicious food and rushed over to Selena. The fear in Selena's heart magnified infinitely in an instant.

As soon as Eric came in, he saw this scene.

Selena was dropped into the swimming pool, while Jennifer had an indescribable expression of joy on her face.

A trace of panic flashed across her face when she saw Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson...”

The next second, Eric took a step forward, raised his foot, and kicked her hard in the chest.

Jennifer immediately fell to the ground. Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She was in pain and could not get up.

Before she could say anything, Eric plunged into the water.

Soon, the other bodyguards held Jennifer in place.

Someone had already entered the water at the same time to help Eric save Selena.

Jennifer watched as Eric lifted Selena out of the water. The fish jumped at Eric.

However, Eric was determined to protect the woman in his arms and fearlessly lifted her out of the water.

There was already a light red ripple on the surface of the water.

The smell of blood permeated the surroundings, stimulating the sense of smell.

Without their prey, those fish began to bite Eric and would not let go.

Those bodyguards quickly lifted Selena ashore before Eric turned around and punched the water around him.

His counterattack was so sudden and violent that the ugly fish fled in all directions.

However, Eric's body was tense. His face was dark, and his veins were bulging. He gathered all his energy and quickly jumped out of the pool.

The bodyguard was checking Selena's injuries and untied the tape on her mouth and the ropes on her hands and feet.

Selena had already fainted. Her face was deathly pale, and it looked like she was on the verge of dying.

Eric did not care about his injuries. He hugged Selena and shouted. "Get the doctor!"

He did not dare to move Selena and put her on the deck chair by the swimming pool.

After some thought, Eric started to do CPR on Selena, but it did not work.

Selena did not move one bit.

Eric’s eyes turned red, and the emotions in them were surging. He tried his best to restrain the fear he felt in his bones.

After struggling for a few seconds, Eric touched her neck cautiously and felt a faint pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense face.

Jennifer, who was on the side, was clearly shocked when she saw this scene.

Not only did Eric jump down to save Selena, but in order to protect Selena, he even stood in the fish-infested water until Selena was out of danger.

His hand was also shaking violently when he was testing Selena's pulse.

Did he tremble because he was afraid?

Fear flashed across Jennifer’s eyes.

That person told her that Eric was just acting with Selena and that he did not really love her.

How was it possible that Eric really fell in love with Selena?

The doctor came over quickly and was startled when he saw a drenched and injured Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, you..." "Leave me alone. Attend to her first!"

Eric ordered in a cold voice.

The doctor was very experienced and examined Selena immediately.

He quickly checked Selena's wound.

Her clothes were thin, so the wounds were extraordinarily gory with her flesh turned up. There were more than a dozen wounds of various sizes. The most obvious ones were on her arms and legs, and there were two more on her face.

The blood on her body seemed to be gushing from these places, but it quickly clotted.

It was such a tragic and gory scene.

Eric's eyes were extremely dark. His expression was extremely gloomy, and there were turbulent whirlpools in his eyes. He was forbearing and restrained.

The doctor quickly made a call and asked his assistant to bring up the medicine.

After giving Selena an injection and cleaning her wounds, he turned to look at Eric, who was sitting silently waiting.

"Mr. Ferguson, your injuries also need to be dealt with."

Eric raised his head slowly. "How is she?"

His voice was dry and hoarse as he spoke with difficulty.

If only he could be more careful, if only he could come faster, Selena might not be hurt.

Selena had always been tough. She had suffered so much, and he vowed to make her happy for the rest of her life.

They were only married for a few days. Before their wedding was over, someone abducted her right under his nose.

Eric hated the person who hurt her and hated himself even more.

He clenched his fists tightly, but his voice was exceptionally calm as he waited for the doctor's reply.

The doctor paused and said, "Ms. Nelson has a lot of wounds. To avoid the spread of the toxins, we have given her an anti-inflammatory treatment. You rescued her in time, so the wounds were not deep and fatal. Ms.

Nelson was probably holding her breath at the time because there were no signs of drowning. Overall, she's not in a critical condition."

After hearing this, Eric's face gradually softened. His fists tightened, and his face was still gloomy.

"Why isn’t she conscious?" 'These carnivorous fish are a special kind of sea fish that release a toxin from their teeth when they attack, which has an anesthetic effect. In recent years, this kind of fish has been genetically bred by Europeans, so that it can be used for cruel entertainment purposes. The antidote isn't difficult to find, so it's not life-threatening. Your wounds also need to be treated, Mr. Ferguson."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2597 -After the doctor patiently explained, Eric's eyes relaxed for a moment.

Eric lowered his eyes and loosened his fist slightly.

Thank goodness!

Eric felt like he almost lost his whole world and that God played a joke on him.

He let the doctor give him injections to reduce the inflammation and clean up his wounds.

The bodyguard covered the glass of the swimming pool, and the movement alarmed the silent Eric.

Eric raised his eyes and looked deeply in the direction of the pool. His gloomy gaze made people shudder.

Soon, the bodyguard pushed Jennifer over.

Eric used so much strength in that kick that he probably broke two of Jennifer's ribs.

He was indeed not as righteous and magnanimous as he seemed on the surface.

When Eric strangled Jennifer and kicked her chest, he never thought to be merciful and sympathetic because she was a woman.

He was like an eagle lurking in the dark. No matter who provoked him, he would fight back mercilessly.

Jennifer happened to provoke him.

Jennifer suddenly trembled all over, and panic spread all over her body.

Eric lowered his eyes to hide his dangerous and sharp gaze. He stepped forward and looked down at her.

In the face of such a strong oppressive feeling, Jennifer finally could not hold back and cried. She trembled violently.

"Mr. Ferguson, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I won’t dare to do this again. Selena is fine now. I just wanted to scare her."

Jennifer wailed, coughed, and prostrated herself on the ground in pain.

Eric stared at her coldly and said with a chill, "Scare her? Since it’s a threat, you should be mentally prepared."

He spoke casually and glanced at the bodyguard next to him.

The bodyguard understood, immediately lifted Jennifer up, and walked toward the swimming pool.

Jennifer was so frightened that she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Don't! I was wrong, Mr. Ferguson! Please forgive me..."

However, no one took pity on Jennifer, especially Eric.

He was already extremely rational not to kill her immediately.

As soon as Eric came in and saw Selena falling into the water and being bitten by the fish, he wished he could kill the person behind this.

However, he just kicked her, which was kind enough.

That was because he did not want to delay rescuing Selena.

Now that he was free, he would naturally settle the score with Jennifer.

The bodyguards ignored Jennifer’s cries for mercy and threw her into the water.

The ugly fish swam all around and jumped to the surface of the water from time to time to show its sharp and ugly teeth.

As soon as Jennifer fell in, they jumped on her as if they spotted their prey.

Jennifer screamed in pain and misery. However, she was soon bitten by the ugly fish and lost all her strength.

She struggled to swim up by herself, but the pain of the fish's bite pulled her into the water again.

After struggling several times, her strength was almost exhausted.

When the fish's teeth sunk into her flesh, she felt a sharp pain that made her feel that she was being torn apart.

Jennifer’s face was pale, and there was no trace of blood left.

The pain was long and arduous. The bodyguards above watched indifferently.

Eric's punishment was justified and cruel.

Jennifer wished she could die here, but she also wanted to live.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Jennifer saw that Eric had already left with Selena in his arms.

The bodyguards were still watching her.

It seemed like an endless torment.

Eric spent a little longer in the water than Selena, but Selena's skin was more tender, so the wounds were a bit deeper.

That was why Selena passed out so quickly. After the injection, Selena's face was gradually turning rosy. Eric also noticed her pained expression from time to time.

After the anesthesia passed, the pain gradually became clearer.

Selena seemed to feel the fear of being bitten and helplessness in her sleep.

The desperation and pain of being on the verge of death could destroy a person’s will.

Selena saw Jennifer's abnormality and cruelty.

Since when did they have such a deep grudge that Jennifer wanted her dead?

However, Selena panicked, which made her extremely restless in her sleep.

Sweat oozed from her forehead. Eric also sensed discomfort in his body probably due to the effect of the medicine.

However, the pain from his wounds seemed insignificant compared to the person in front of him.

Eric froze and took care of Selena.

His eyes were cold, dark, and unapproachable.

Soon, the bodyguard came and knocked on the door.

Eric went out quietly and closed the door on purpose.

"How is it?"

"She passed out probably due to excessive blood loss. She had the strength to struggle and wasn’t restrained like Madam was, so even when the fish bit her, she could resist. We waited for a full hour and fished her up when she fainted. She was bleeding and had more wounds on her face. Her flesh was also turned out. At present, the doctor only injected the antidote and did not do anything to deal with her wounds."

Eric sneered with a bit of indifference in his eyes.

"Don't deal with it. She asked for it."

He paused and remained silent for a moment before he said, "Just throw her here. There's no need to tell the hotel to take care of her. Does the person in charge know?"

"He knows. He went up after us."

"When my wife wakes up, we’ll go back. Get the plane ready. As for the hotel, my wife almost died here, so I don't think

they should stay open. Find a reason to expose the illegal construction here."

"Yes, Mr. Ferguson. Do you want to take that woman away with you?"

The bodyguard asked.

Eric snorted coldly. "Since she likes fish so much, then take her along and throw her off the plane to feed the fish when we reach the surface of the sea."

This woman hid her whereabouts to seek death, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Jennifer went back with the Nelson family.

Eric never hid his evilness, but he had always been a man who would not offend others first.

The bodyguard understood what Eric meant, nodded, and went to clean up the scene.

Late at night, Jennifer heard the bodyguards talking about throwing her body into the sea to feed the fish.

She was already in pain. At that moment, she trembled violently.

The panic in her heart did not ease in the slightest. On the contrary, it became more serious.

At midnight, Selena developed a high fever.

Eric took care of her by himself.

Selena had always been fearless and courageous. The scariest thing she had encountered was Derek Norton.

She had never encountered the more tragic things that Eric had experienced, so Jennifer's torture was almost unbearable.

Thus, her reaction was stronger than usual.

Eric took care of her all night.

Finally, at dawn, the bodyguards came over.

"Mr. Ferguson, she finally opened her mouth. She admitted that the person who ordered her to do this was Madam's biological father."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2598 -"What?"

Eric’s face darkened instantly.

Selena’s biological father?

Eric knew about Selena's past, so he knew that she was not dependent on her relatives.

In the beginning, Eric proposed to help her find her relatives, but she refused.

From then on, Eric did not try to look for anyone because he was afraid it would backfire.

Selena's father knew that his daughter was in dire straits, but watched helplessly and did not show up. This only meant that it made no difference whether such relatives were present or not.

Unexpectedly, this person came to Eric's door on his own initiative.

He even wanted to harm his own daughter.

Eric was instantly shrouded in a layer of gloom.

"Who?"

'The woman said she hadn't seen him before, but someone called her and gave her a sum of money to find a chance to attack Madam. We checked and found that the other party was very cautious. They used cash in Euros and banked it

into the woman's account. That phone number is now out of service."

Looking at Eric’s expression, the bodyguard felt his heart pounding.

They originally thought it was just a bad incident caused by Jennifer's jealousy of Selena.

They did not expect that Selena's father would be involved behind the scenes.

"The one who can get in touch with her is probably one of the guests. I was too careless."

Eric rubbed his temples, but soon, his fatigue subsided.

"Get the hotel to retrieve all the surveillance to see who is also on the phone when that woman is on the phone. Don’t let anyone go. Also, reorganize the guest list and investigate their backgrounds. Find that person as quickly as possible."

Eric's tone was terribly cold.

The bodyguard nodded and left immediately.

In the morning, the sky was bright, and it was very warm.

The light came in through the window and shone on the ground.

When it was almost dawn, Selena’s fever subsided, but she was still in pain. Thus, she began to bite her lips in pain.

It was not until morning that her reaction eased a little.

The doctor came in the morning and gave her an injection, which had a sedative effect, so her complexion gradually improved.

The doctor also gave Eric an injection, but Eric's reaction was unexpected.

He did not fall unconscious from the ugly fish's toxin, nor did he have any adverse reactions such as a fever.

It was probably because he was very strong.

At noon, Selena woke up.

She opened her eyes and felt something was wrong.

She raised her arm and saw that the wounds were bandaged.

Those terrifying images flooded her mind, and she seemed to be able to feel the suffocation and despair in the pool.

When Selena moved, she felt someone wake up next to her.

Eric only took a nap for a while before Selena woke up.

He raised his head lazily and had a look of concern in his eyes.

"Selena, what's the matter? Does it still hurt?"

Selena looked at him for a few seconds before she shook her head.

Her eyes were slightly red.

Eric pursed his lips and gently held her in his arms, avoiding her injury.

"I’m sorry. I was too careless. This won't happen again in the future."

He was guilty and blamed himself.

Selena’s tears fell. She did not dare to think about those fears. It was really terrible.

Eric gently touched her head. The darkness in his eyes became more intense.

He did not tell her what happened for fear of affecting her mood. He just told her nonchalantly to keep the wound from getting wet and to tell him if she needed anything.

The hotel sent over exquisite meals. They seemed to feel guilty for what happened, so they treated Eric and Selena with extra care.

Eric was still calm. He fed Selena slowly and ate some before he ordered someone to take the dishes away.

'Tell me, how did you suddenly disappear?”

Only then did Eric mention this.

Selena took a deep breath. She was not as terrified as she was at first probably because Eric was extraordinarily calm.

'When I went to get changed, I heard something in the closet, like someone knocking on the back, so I opened it. Someone suddenly appeared and covered my nose, then I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I found that Jennifer had tied me up and put me on top of the swimming pool. Eric, I was scared to death!"

Selena curled her lips. "Didn’t you say that you sent her away? If I had known that marrying you would be so dangerous, I wouldn't have gotten married!"

She felt aggrieved. Jennifer probably could not understand how a divorcee got to marry Eric, so she was jealous and wanted to attack her.

However, it seemed too cruel. What kind of hatred did Jennifer have?

Eric felt distressed and frustrated. He gently kissed her forehead.

"It's my fault. This won't happen again, but you can't go back on your word. We’re already married."

He smiled reassuringly. Selena turned her head away shamelessly.

Eric's smile deepened.

He did not want to stay here to recuperate mainly because his sphere of influence was not big enough here. It was also inconvenient to do many things.

Also, he wanted to find Selena's biological father as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would become a great hidden danger to Selena.

Selena took the medicine and was sleepy again in the afternoon.

She really wanted to ask how Eric rescued her.

However, she felt drowsy and could not resist sleeping.

She was half asleep and half awake.

In a daze, she heard Jennifer's miserable cry.

Without painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs, Jennifer's wounds festered and rotted. Her skin also turned white. She had a fever all day, and she was on the verge of dying.

Eric did not intend to let her go, nor did he intend to save her.

Jennifer regretted taking the money. She just wanted to teach Selena a lesson.

After all, Eric strangled her because of Selena. Jennifer felt ashamed, and it crushed her pride and self-esteem.

Selena was a divorced woman. Once she married Eric, she was so arrogant and did not take the Nelson family seriously.

What was so great about this kind of woman?

Jennifer just wanted to teach Selena a lesson.

Selena's biological father came to her door, and the two hit it off immediately. They thought it was a good idea.

Eric's bodyguard dragged Jennifer out.

After coaxing Selena for a day, she finally felt better and fell asleep.

matter.

He held a cigarette in his hand. He looked a bit wild and unruly amidst the smoke.

"I'll only ask once. You should think about it before answering. If you say something wrong, you should know the consequences."

The bodyguard pulled Jennifer’s hair back, forcing her to look up at Eric's cold and gloomy gaze.

How could she think he was a gentleman?

The person in front of her was clearly a murderous demon.

"Okay..."

Jennifer sobbed.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2599 -There was a bit of coldness in Eric's eyes.

'You have met Selena's father, right?"

Eric got straight to the most critical point with his first question.

Jennifer trembled slightly. She hesitated but still nodded.

"Who is it?"

Eric did not have any extra words to say.

Jennifer gritted her teeth.

"I don’t know him. I saw him when I was young, but now, I almost can't recognize him."

"Can't recognize him? Then how are you sure that the person who called you is her biological father? Didn't you even confirm his identity?”

Eric's tone was a bit cold and frightening.

Jennifer said cautiously, 'There were so many people on the beach when I arrived. I thought I saw him because he looked familiar, but I wasn't sure. I felt strange at the time, and I didn't believe it until I received a call from him. But if you asked me to find him in a crowd, I can’t be sure because there were too many people at that time. I just glanced at him and didn't look carefully at all..."

Jennifer's voice became softer as she spoke, and she wept bitterly.

Judging from what Eric meant, Jennifer knew that he would not let Selena’s biological father go.

Jennifer confessed everything.

"He called me and asked me to check my bank account. I saw the money in my account and did as he said. The ugly fish in the swimming pool wasn't prepared by me. It was already there when I went. Mr. Ferguson, please forgive me. I've told you everything I know. I can apologize to Selena in person... Sob sob sob..."

Eric allowed the cigarette at his fingertips to burn slowly. His brows were tightly knitted together amidst the smoke.

Time passed by every minute.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Eric looked up subconsciously. Selena was standing at the door, and her face was pale and dazed.

Eric’s heart sank. He stood up immediately, but his voice was extremely gentle.

"Why are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you still feel sick?"

Selena looked at Jennifer, who was kneeling and crawling on the ground. Her expression was cold and glum.

"What did you say? Did my biological father order you to kill me?"

Jennifer lowered her head and dared not speak, but her shoulders trembled violently.

Eric could not bear Selena knowing the truth, so he blocked her sight and wanted to take her out.

"Just leave it to me, Selena. You can..."

"I want to know, Eric. I have to know everything. How does my presence hinder him? I never thought about looking for him. I’ve fend for myself to this point, so why does he want to kill me?"

Selena's eyes were already red.

The crueler fact was that unknown to her, her biological father was also one of the guests invited to the wedding.

He actually wanted someone to kill his daughter on the day of her wedding.

Why?

Was it because he was afraid that Selena would one day find out about him with the help of Eric’s power and find trouble with him?

Or was he afraid that she would pester him and ruin his current life?

Countless thoughts flooded Selena's mind, all of which were speculations about the unknown murderer.

The first few years of her life were very happy.

However, after her grandfather found out that she was not biologically a Nelson, he used her to the extreme.

That completely ruined her life.

To put it bluntly, if she had not met such a powerful person as Eric, she might have spent the rest of her life in prison.

Selena was on the verge of a mental breakdown. This was the deepest secret and weakness in her heart.

She knew her real father was alive, but it never occurred to her to find him, even in the hardest of times.

That was because she knew that if he had not shown up in the previous twenty years of her life, he probably did not want to appear in the next few decades of her life.

Why bother to be a nuisance to others?

However, hearing this fact with her own ears was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

When she was about to start a new life, her biological father gave her a fatal blow.

How ridiculous!

Selena stared at Jennifer. The stubbornness and fragility in her eyes could hardly be restrained, and her eyes were wet and red.

Jennifer raised her head. Her fear and pleading toward Eric just now seemed to have subsided a lot at this moment.

She looked at Selena, who did not change at all and still seemed to be the same abandoned stray dog.

Selena was wretched and homeless. No one loved her, and she could be abandoned anytime, anywhere.

The emotion in Jennifer’s chest surged, and she did not think about what she said next.

'That's right. The mastermind was your biological father. He was ashamed of your presence. If you died at the Nortons' house or in prison, he wouldn't have killed you. That’s because you'd never have a chance to know who he is. But because you married Eric, he felt a sense of crisis. He was afraid that others would know about your existence. You are a stain that he can't wash off. You don't care about the Nelson family, so he naturally doesn't care about you..."

Selena's eyes flickered. She was shocked for an instant, and her face was extremely pale.

Eric stood in front of Selena for a moment and blocked Selena's sight. Then he embraced her shoulders and walked out.

The bodyguard behind Jennifer took out the tape and sealed her mouth, so they could only hear her whine.

Selena stood there. Her face was as pale as paper. She was already weak, but now, she looked even more miserable.

Eric scolded that damned Jennifer in his heart and took Selena outside to the living room.

"Selena, don't listen to her nonsense. This matter isn’t so simple. I'll investigate it clearly."

The corners of Selena’s lips were pale. She grabbed Eric’s clothes and gritted her teeth.

"Eric, who do you think he is?"

She looked up at him with a bit of stubbornness and hurt in her eyes, but she grinned.

"I want to know his identity. Eric, you'll help me, right?"

Eric paused. He looked at her in distress and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.

"Of course, Selena. We're already married. I'll take care of your affairs. No one can bully my wife."

His eyes were firmly looking in a certain direction with an unprecedented solemnity on his face.

Selena could not hold back her suppressed emotions. She reached out and hugged his shoulder, sobbing softly.

She was not an emotional person, so she let go of this quickly.

At first, Eric did not want to tell Selena because he was afraid that she would be sad. Seeing her indifferent reaction, he felt a little relieved.

She was still the tough and stubborn Selena. Even if the world fell apart, she would not torture herself.

Her life experience made her mentally strong.

Eric did not know whether to be happy or sad about this.

Their injuries were not fully healed yet, but Selena insisted on leaving.

Eric's wounds recovered faster than hers. He knew that Selena was anxious to investigate this matter, so he got someone to prepare a private jet for them.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2600-On the plane, Jennifer was tied to the seat and surrounded by two bodyguards. She could not even move.

She did not dare to move and tried her best to reduce her presence.

Jennifer feared that Eric and Selena would think of her and throw her into the sea to feed the fish.

After all, if she fell into the Atlantic Ocean, she would not even leave behind a corpse.

Selena fell asleep, but she could not sleep well.

She opened her eyes and vaguely heard Eric on the phone in another room.

It was probably a conference call, and he was afraid of waking her up.

Selena glanced at the clouds of all kinds of shapes outside the window.

She thought about it for a while, stood up, and walked in front of Jennifer.

The bodyguard stood up immediately.

"Madam."

Selena pursed her lips.

'Til say a few words to her. You can wait by the side."

The bodyguard nodded without hesitation.

Eric told them that Selena's words were just as good as his words. There was no difference.

Fear flashed across Jennifer’s eyes, but there was no way to retreat.

Selena tore off the tape on her mouth without hesitation, and Jennifer gasped in pain.

Half of her face was covered in red marks from the duct tape, but Jennifer did not dare to cry out in pain.

"What are you going to tell me? You can’t kill me now, or you won't be able to find out who your biological father is. Only I’ve seen him!"

Jennifer said bravely.

She had met Selena's biological father, so she used this as an excuse to hold Selena hostage.

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at her sideways.

Although Selena’s face was still pale and bloodless, Jennifer could still feel the indifference and coldness from Selena's empty eyes.

Selena, who restrained her emotions, made Jennifer feel an unfamiliar chill.

Jennifer's eyes flickered in a daze.

Selena snorted coldly. She looked indifferent and cold.

"Why are you hiding? Weren’t you very bold before?"

"Selena, don't blame me. I was ordered to do that to you. If you want to hate someone, hate your biological father!"

Jennifer wanted to divert Selena's attention and protect herself.

Selena twitched the corner of her mouth. "Oh, I don't plan to let the two of you go."

"He's the mastermind, so you should go to your biological father to settle the score."

'You're not exactly innocent. If you didn’t want to harm me, why would you do it for him?"

Selena glanced around indifferently and chuckled lightly.

'You don't have to worry that I'll let him go. Jennifer, I won't let you and your parents go either."

Jennifer suddenly raised her head and glared at her.

"Selena, they're your relatives. You'd better not touch them."

Selena smiled meaningfully and somewhat dangerously.

"I don't believe that you're the only one who has seen him. Your parents must have seen him too. They may even remember him more clearly, so I'll just go straight to them. Anyway, you’re in my hands, so if they dare to be

disobedient, I'll just kill you. Don't forget. I'm not a part of the Nelson family."

As soon as Selena finished speaking, Jennifer was shocked.

Her face was pale.

"Okay, can you talk frankly now? Jennifer, tell me the truth. Who is that person?"

Selena looked at her indifferently with scrutiny and indifference in her eyes.

Jennifer lowered her head and dodged her gaze.

"I really didn’t get to see him clearly. I don't know his identity. Why would he tell me?"

Selena laughed softly.

"If you don't even know his identity, how can you use it to threaten him later? Isn't our relationship your best leverage? That way, the Nelson family's crisis can be easily resolved in the future!"

Jennifer's face turned glum instantly.

She felt ashamed and furious that her schemes were exposed.

"So, if you don't tell me, I’ll get Eric to make Nelson Corporation go bankrupt. I don't believe that you're not capable of such things."

Selena's calm appearance agitated Jennifer.

"I knew you were an ingrate! How could you do that?!"

"Because I am Mrs. Ferguson!”

Selena sneered.

Jennifer was so angry that she could not speak.

"I’m not going to tell you. Just do it if you're so capable, Selena. That's Grandpa’s hard work. If you want to fight to the death, the Nelson family won't let you go!"

After all, the Nelson family was not just dominated by Jennifer's family.

There were many inextricably linked parties involved.

Selena took a deep look at her, took a deep breath, turned around, and was about to return to her seat when she suddenly thought of something. She stepped back, raised her hand high, and slapped her.

She used all of her strength, and the corner of Jennifer's mouth was split open. Jennifer stared at her in horror and anger.

"Selena, just you wait!"

Selena shook her hand and smiled lazily and calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Selena just wanted to vent her anger, which was a light punishment for Jennifer.

At some point, Eric appeared behind Selena.

He walked, grabbed Selena's hand, and rubbed it lightly.

"Don't do it yourself. You'll get tired. Isn't the bodyguard here?’

Eric’s tone was extremely calm and indifferent.

It seemed that even if Selena went crazy and wanted to kill someone, he would hand her the knife.

Jennifer glanced at Eric in fear and held back her curse.

It was finally quiet on the way back.

Jennifer did not say a word.

Even if her right cheek was swollen, she did not dare to say a word.

Their luggage was sent back to the villa.

Eric took Selena straight to Ferguson Corporation.

Mitchell came back a few days early and was a little scared when he heard about it.

If Selena was really captured, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Selena's face was a little pale, but she was still in good spirits.

In the office, there was a bit of silence in the air.

Eric sat there. "Have you finished the investigation?"

Mitchell took out several documents.

"Mr. Ferguson, after screening through the guest list, only these five people fit the criteria. At that time, only these five people were on the phone. Although one of them was using a Bluetooth headset, his mouth movements did not look like he was talking to the person opposite him. These two have been living abroad in Europe and have not returned to Mediania for a long time. But the remaining three are all living in Mediania. The two of them have a cooperative relationship with Ferguson Corporation, and the remaining one...

The camera angles were tricky.

It could be seen that it took a lot of effort to find these people who took calls at the same time.

The hotel had not allocated the rooms to the guests at the time, so they definitely would not have gone in first.

After all, everyone's focus that evening was on Eric and Selena.

"Who is this?"

"He came here with the Stantons." Mitchell glanced at Selena and pursed his lips.

Mitchell hesitated, not knowing whether he should continue talking.

Eric’s eyes were stern. "Continue."

"Grant and Nicole Stanton brought two children. Of course, Mr. Sloan also came under the name of Stanton Corporation."

"Did you say Clayton?'

Eric stood up
