The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2356 Exchanging Secrets

Selena took a deep breath.

She had expressed her dissatisfaction and resentment before.

She complained hysterically when the Nelson family sold her out for money and glory.

However, they only cared about their interests and said that it was for her own good. i

Heh...

If Derek was a good man, why did they not marry him themselves?

Just when she was about to hang up the phone impatiently, her grandfather coughed and said in an old and weak

tone," Selena, do you hate me that much? Are you planning to never see me again until I die?"

He sounded humble as he sighed helplessly.

"I don’t have long to live, so come and see me for the last time. You can't just cut off the Nelson family after I die,

can you?" i

A certain phrase touched her and made her tears fall uncontrollably.

Selena hated her grandfather, but she would still be sad if he died.

Fearing that her emotions would leak, Selena immediately hung up the phone. She crouched on the balcony and

began to cry.

She was cowardly and did not dare to resist.

She had been pampered all her life and was not taught to be independent.

Thus, when her grandfather arranged for her to marry someone she did not love, she did not even have the ability

and attitude to resist.

Fleeing abroad was the most outrageous thing she had ever done.

She had a doomed marriage. Derek was a womanizer, and she caught him cheating before. The two of them were

completely at odds with each other, i

Selena called him shameless, and he called her a cheap b* tch.

Since then, Derek no longer hid his temper. He beat and scolded her.

Selena tried to ask for help.

She begged her grandfather, called the police, and hired a lawyer, but to no avail.

The Nelson family suppressed it, and her grandfather advised her to restrain her temper and just bear with it.

The day before Selena fled the country, Derek threw a vase on her head.

She felt like she was going to die.

Her whole life crumbled, and her world was falling apart.

She might die that night. i

At that time, the Nelson family might get compensated for her death. They might even persuade Derek to get

another wife.

Selena almost gave up on herself.

However, her former bodyguard rushed over, rescued her, and helped her to leave the country.

Selena just found a chance to start over.

Her vision was blurry.

Those memories were so bleak that she did not even want to recall them.

Selena did not lose her mind and go back to the Nelson residence.

She struggled all night.

When it was almost dawn, Selena fell asleep for a while, i

Selena woke up and saw a message from Nicole.

[Thanks. I'll take care of myself. You should take care too.]

In her impression, Nicole had always been a good-tempered and gentle person.

However, from Mrs. Ferguson's description of Nicole last night, Selena admired Nicole even more.

Nicole was certainly braver than her for leaving the Ferguson family and finding her own love.

Everyone was responsible for fulfilling their own life.

Compared with Nicole, Selena's life was a mess.

She went to take a shower, got dressed, put on light makeup, and went out. i

It was sunny, but not hot.

The air was refreshing and cool.

It was almost early fall. The leaves of the tall trees by the side of the road began to change colors.

The pedestrians walked fast by the road.

Selena was going to the Nelson residence.

However, she suddenly thought of something and made a detour to Ferguson Corporation.

She did not have an appointment, so she could not get in touch with Eric. The receptionist asked her to wait

downstairs.

After drinking three cups of free coffee, Selena still did not get to see Eric.

Selena was a little anxious and suddenly thought of Mitchell.

She called Mitchell, who picked up after two calls.

"Ms. Nelson? What's the matter?”

Mitchell's background was very noisy. It sounded as if he was very busy.

"Mr. Crawford, I’m in the lobby of Ferguson Corporation. I want to talk to Mr. Ferguson. I have something to tell

him."

Mitchell walked a few steps until he reached a quiet place before he spoke.

"Ms. Nelson, Mr. Ferguson is very busy now. If you need help with anything, you can tell me first, and I'll pass it on."

Selena frowned slightly. She could not tell Mitchell about Mrs. Ferguson.

She looked at the people coming and going and lowered her voice.

"Nicole Stanton is Mr. Ferguson’s ex-wife, right? It's about her."

Mitchell was silent for a long time.

Just when Selena was about to add something, he let up and said, "Come up."

However, his tone was not as gentle as before.

When Selena mentioned Nicole, Mitchell thought that Selena wanted to use the relationship between Nicole and

Eric to achieve her own goals.

Selena must have a motive.

Mitchell could not decide on this, so he could only pass it onto Eric.

He pushed open the door of the meeting room, walked to Eric's side, and whispered a few words.

Eric's indifferent eyes turned impatient.

"Bring her to the office and let her wait there."

Mitchell nodded.

Selena waited in that cold office for half an hour.

She stood up and stretched her back out of boredom. Then, she walked and looked around the office.

Unexpectedly, she inadvertently glanced at a photo on Eric's desk.

The photo looked a bit dated.

It seemed to be taken on the banks of the Seine River. Eric and Nicole stood there. One was smiling while the other

sneered.

Nicole was the one who sneered.

However, Eric had a rare smile that came from his heart.

Selena seemed to have discovered some secret. She hurried back to the sofa and sat down while her heart was

pounding.

For some reason, she felt a little scared.

The office door was pushed open.

Eric walked in with strides. He was tall and lean, and he glanced at Selena indifferently.

"Ms. Nelson, what do you need from me?”

Mitchell handed over the document in his hand. Eric signed it without looking at it and returned it to him.

Then, Mitchell walked out with the document.

Throughout the whole process, he did not even glance at Selena.

The office fell into silence.

Selena stood up and nodded with a serious look on her face.

"Mr. Ferguson, since you've helped me, I promise that everything I'm about to say is true."

Eric's face was gloomy and cold. He stared at her with dark eyes. His side profile was resolute and smooth, and his

eyes were sharp as he scrutinized her.

Selena's voice was calm as she said, "Last night, at my bar... Your mother and a man entered a private room, and

they were discussing how to deal with your ex-wife, Nicole Stanton."

She paused and noticed that Eric's expression had changed because of these few words.

'They dare?"

The man gritted his teeth.

Selena lowered her gaze. Sure enough, Eric could not forget about Nicole since he still had Nicole's photo and was

still worried about her safety.

It did not seem like something Selena should know about.

Selena paused and continued.

"After the man rejected her, he made another offer, and..."

Under Eric's cold gaze, Selena lowered her head, and her face turned strangely red. i 'The two of them... Had sex

and only left three hours later..."
