The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2516 Intimidation

Since it was an unfamiliar number, Selena rejected the call.

However, the caller persisted.

Finally, Selena picked it up in frustration. "Who's calling?"

"It's me. Shall we meet?"

The other party was arrogant. It was a female voice.

Selena paused and recognized the voice, but she did not admit it.

"Oh, who are you? Now that my net worth has increased, I won't just meet anyone. I don't even know your name.”

The other party was silent for more than ten seconds before reluctantly speaking.

"It's me, Cindy Yeager. Let's meet up, Ms. Nelson. I have a favor to ask of you."

Selena got up from the bed, smiled, and stood on the balcony, looking at the lush green scenery outside. She was in

a good mood.

"I don't think that's necessary. I heard from Eric that your family is dangerous and that you might harm me when

cornered, so he told me to stay away from you."

Cindy's breathing was a little labored because she was pissed off.

"He's not a good guy. Why didn't he just... You don't have to worry. I won’t harm you. He's the reason my family is in

this state, and I know it has nothing to do with you."

'You're only talking nicely now. How do I know if you’re not lying?"

Selena spoke lightly.

"Fine. What will make you come and meet me willingly? You can pick the time and place."

After Cindy finished speaking, she was afraid that Selena would not agree, so she added, "I don't know if Eric really

likes you, but what I do know is whether you'll be able to marry into an affluent family.”

Selena's gaze gradually sank, and she breathed quietly.

Both of them were secretly competing with each other.

Before last night, Selena would have mocked Cindy's words and hung up the phone.

However, after last night and this morning, Selena had a change of heart.

Selena was not interested in marrying into a wealthy family, but she liked the feeling of warm mornings like this.

She slowly took a deep breath.

"Fine. Let’s meet at the coffee shop opposite Ferguson Corporation. See you later."

After speaking, Selena hung up the phone.

She was afraid that the shrewd Cindy would notice something.

She was also afraid of revealing her inner thoughts.

It was okay to want money and glory, but she should not hope for true love.

Selena went to take a shower to freshen up before she went to the dressing room to pick out some clothes.

She did not choose her own clothes. Instead, she wore the designer clothes that Eric gave her.

Any one of those designer clothes was enough to double her worth. She looked a lot more elegant too.

Selena wore a simple top and a satin skirt. She looked clean and extremely charming.

Before she left, she even put on light makeup. It had been a long time since she put in so much effort to dress up.

Selena planned to go to Ferguson Corporation after talking to Cindy so that she could tell Eric about what they

talked about.

That old fox must have guessed why Cindy was looking for Selena.

Selena was determined to be on the same front as Eric.

She simply took a set of car keys from the drawer in the dressing room, where Eric left all his car keys.

Then, she sent Eric a message.

[Can I borrow your car?]

This time, Eric replied quickly. [Approved.] i

Selena twitched the corners of her lips.

"Show off.”

She walked slowly to the garage. With a light touch, one of the most inconspicuous Mercedes-Benz lit up.

It was still quite dazzling.

Selena shook her head. A boss's life was indeed extravagant.

She did not think too much and got into the car.

Twenty minutes later, she arrived outside Ferguson Corporation.

Cindy was already waiting there. She chose the most eye-catching place on the other side of the glass window.

Selena stopped the car and walked in slowly.

The waiter warmly greeted her. “Miss, what would you like to order?"

Selena replied, "An iced latte, thank you."

She took a glance, saw Cindy, and then walked over.

Cindy scrutinized Selena's face, whose complexion was ruddy and springy.

Cindy sneered and thought, ‘How could I actually lose to such a woman?’ 2

"Looks like you’re living like a fish in water with Eric. Does he treat you well?"

Selena sat opposite Cindy and smiled.

'Thanks for your concern. Of course, he treats me well."

"It's hard for people not to like Eric. Any woman would fall for him." 1

Cindy spoke in a daze.

Afterward, Cindy came to her senses and looked up at Selena with a meaningful smile.

"But Ms. Nelson, Eric's affection is fleeting. How long do you think you can maintain it? Will you get to marry him

one day?"

Selena glanced at her speechlessly.

"Ms. Yeager, that's just sour grapes. Even if you care about our love life, I have no intention of sharing it with you.

You and Eric almost got together back then, but I didn't do anything to disturb you guys. Shouldn't you return the

favor now?"

Cindy's expression changed slightly.

Look, even Selena could tell that Eric intended to marry Cindy back then.

However, Eric gave up halfway.

Cindy knew that a large part of the reason Eric gave up on her was because of Selena's appearance.

At that time, Selena really did not do anything. Her appearance just got in Cindy's way.

Cindy should hate Selena, but she knew it was pointless.

She took a deep breath and watched as the cars passed by outside the window.

"Ms. Nelson, I won’t talk about anything else. I'll just ask you a question. Are you in love with Eric?”

Selena's dark-colored eyes were bright. Her lips froze, and she did not answer.

At this time, silence was also an answer.

Cindy chuckled lightly, as if she was confident that she would win.

"What I'll show you today may disappoint you. You know that my family is about to go bankrupt because of Eric, and

I have nowhere to go.”

"What are you trying to say?"

Selena interrupted Cindy impatiently.

Even though Selena's feelings for Eric had changed, now was not the best time to go public about their relationship.

Selena also did not want Cindy to see through this secret.

Cindy took out a recording pen, put it on the table, and turned it on.

There were two voices in the recording.

Cindy said, "Eric, do you deny ever dating me because you only love Nicole?"

Eric replied, "Of course."

Cindy did not pause the recording and kept playing these two sentences in a loop.

Selena felt like a blunt knife was cutting her flesh and newly established self-esteem. Now, she was left with a

bleeding heart.

She stared at the table and felt her temples twitching. She felt lost as if she had stepped into a thick fog.

It was cold and lonely.

Selena's body tensed up as she sat there stiffly. She was quiet and expressionless.

Years of learning from her mistakes did not seem to give her a clear understanding of her life.

Selena was mesmerized by a bit of sweet talk from Eric.
