Seeing the change in Eric’s expression, Mitchell finally could not help but ask, “President, what’s the secret? How important is it that Selena is holding it over your head?”Eric’s face was tense and gloomy.As Eric’s confidant, Mitchell wanted to know. Mitchell could come forward for things that were inconvenient for Eric to show up. Thus, Mitchell had to know the importance of this matter so that he knew how to deal with it.Eric stared at him stubbornly. His lips were pursed into a straight line, and he looked stern and cold.Eric did not tell Mitchell what was going on.He just lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Go and see if Selena’s situation is reversible.”The implication was that Eric wanted to help Selena.Mitchell frowned slightly, nodded, and left without saying anything.Eric’s throat twitched slightly. His deep and dark eyes were not focused. They were turbulent, dark, unfathomable, and frightening.Selena dared to threaten him.He could not conceal th
At this moment, Eric did not look like a restrained wealthy man.He was not bothered about his image.He did not conceal his insidious and unscrupulous nature.It was frightening.He puffed out a cloud of smoke, which filled the air.Then, he sneered.His laughter was like a boulder that slammed into Selena’s heart. It made her tremble violently.Every movement in the car was clearly audible.She bit her lower lip tightly, and she looked guilty.“I’m sorry.”She knew that her apology was hypocritical and naive. Although it would not be effective, she still wanted to say it.“I really had no choice in the afternoon. I didn’t know what to do. When Mr. Crawford called me, I just wanted to grab onto my last sliver of hope. I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to threaten you. I’m really sorry…”Selena’s voice was trembling slightly as she whispered pleadingly.She turned sideways. To better express her apology, she even wanted to stand up and bow to Eric.As a result, she forgot t
The driver had not spoken yet.Eric, who was in the car, impatiently urged Selena in an extremely cold voice.“Get in the car. You can’t get a taxi here. There have been reports of mugging in this area. Even if you want to go from being a murderer to a victim, don’t get me involved.”Selena’s heart sank, but she still got into the car anyway.The smell of agarwood in the car had already dispersed.Only the faint smell of agarwood on Eric’s body remained.Eric was looking at his email on the iPad. His expression was cold and stern, and his eyes were heavy and indifferent.Selena sat there and did not dare to turn around.However, she was much more relaxed compared to earlier when she came because Eric let her off the hook.After a while, the silence was too awkward.Eric put down the iPad, rubbed his brow bones, and casually said, “You’re temporarily released on bail for today. In the coming days, you must actively cooperate with the police if they ask you to. But every time y
Selena glanced at the woman and nodded politely.“Right. I don’t hire women here. You can ask around at other bars.”The woman looked at Selena ingratiatingly and said in a sweet voice, “Boss, most bars want to hire women to promote alcohol. I just want to earn a commission for my tuition fees. I promise not to cause trouble. I’m pretty, so I’ll attract a lot of customers!”Selena sized her up. The woman’s navel and most of her shoulders were exposed. When she turned around just now, Selena could see a large part of her snow-white back.She had a rough idea of what this woman was like.Selena smiled apologetically. “This is an upscale bar, so I don’t need alcohol promoters. All my customers here are regulars, so they don’t need other services. Thanks for your interest.”Although this kind of bar did not make much money from alcoholic drinks, not everyone who came here liked to be pestered by other men and women.On the contrary, the customers here mostly talk business. Some were
Nicole was finishing up her work. She smiled and said, “I don’t have any objections, but the two kids are more obedient there. They don’t skip school anymore, and they finish all their homework. It looks like Levi is doing a good job teaching them.”Clayton nodded in agreement. “Little Leaf has always been a good boy.”He walked over and took her coat. Nicole opened her arms naturally.Clayton did not mind the trouble. He put on her coat gently and gently fixed her hair.His fingertips touched the back of her ears, which made her shudder.The tips of her ears reddened as she was sensitive there, but her face remained calm.However, Clayton noticed her changes.He let out a low chuckle behind her and pinched her red earlobe as he said with a smile, “What are you thinking about? Why are you blushing?”His playful words made Nicole’s face blush even more as if she was thinking dirty thoughts.However, Nicole felt that he was the one who wanted to seduce her first.Clayton once a
Nicole asked, “Discuss something? What’s up?”She leaned on Clayton’s body and did not care whether he could stand or not.Clayton tolerated her inconsiderate behavior and stood there motionless for her to lean on.“I wanted to talk about Chatty’s wish.”At the mention of her precious daughter, Nicole regained her spirits.“Isn’t her wish to save the world?”The elevator arrived at their floor.Clayton pulled her into the apartment.Nicole lowered her head to change out of her shoes while Clayton thoughtfully took out her home slippers and said with a smile, “No, it changed.”“It changed?”“Yup. She wants a younger sibling now.”When Clayton said this, his eyes were gentle and deep.Somehow, Nicole landed up on the bed with him again.This time, even Clayton forgot to remind Nicole to take her medicine.......The next day, Nicole got up lazily and felt that Clayton’s side of the bed was empty.Clayton was wearing a shirt and trousers as he fried eggs in the kitchen.D
Nicole and Selena looked at each other and laughed in a tacit understanding.Clayton was confused about this gossip that had no context. He also did not know what was so funny about it.Why were the ladies laughing so happily at the thought of running over one’s husband?It was incomprehensible.When Nicole laughed, Clayton’s heart skipped a beat. He feared that she would learn this from Selena.Clayton coughed and calmly changed the subject.“Isn’t Julie here already? Why don’t you follow her to the set to see what’s going on?”Nicole paused and turned her head with a smile.“Nah, it’s boring. I’m not going.”Clayton was speechless.The set could no longer attract Nicole.The elevator arrived at Selena’s floor, so Selena politely said goodbye to Nicole.Nicole waved her hand. “If you need help, just let me know, okay?”“Okay. Thank you.”Selena smiled.Nicole gave Clayton a strange look.She felt like something was wrong with him.Clayton never interrupted her convers
The corners of Selena’s aunt’s mouth twitched as she said, “You’re right! This girl has been deviant since she was a child. Once her grandfather passed away, no one could control her. You’ve seen how she doesn’t want to get involved with her grandfather’s funeral. We would rather disown this ingrate! She can really piss us off. She’s not my child, so we can’t discipline her. I’m sorry that you have to deal with her since she married your son.”Flora snorted coldly. “Back then, I only agreed to this marriage because she’s pretty. Who knew that she would have an affair with someone else? What a disgrace to our family!”The aunt laughed along with Flora and scolded Selena.“Right! Fortunately, Derek is fine. Otherwise, we would feel bad. We’ll find Selena and get her to apologize to Derek in person. Anyway, our families always had a good relationship, so we shouldn’t be at odds just because of Selena, right?”Flora’s face turned gloomy. Just as she was about to say something, she saw
