The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2608 The Woman Behind the Diary

[This little baby in my arms looks very much like me and Joel. I'm looking forward to her growing up. She likes the

swing downstairs and climbs up and down the stairs. She always sneaks away when I'm not paying attention.]

[She is a beam of light that isn’t strong, like the bright and gentle moonlight, which makes my life a little brighter.]

[Selena, Mom has loved you in the past year, but I can't continue to love you anymore. The devil came with your

paternity test, and my love for you has become a betrayal. He asked me to continue that disgusting relationship,

but I said no. I know that my time is up. I don't want my life to be dictated by others, so I would rather die to free

myself. I thought about taking you with me, but I couldn't bear it. If you survive this and grow up, you must

remember not to look for that devil. How great would it be if you were Joel and my child? But I hope that I will never

meet Joel Nelson in my next life.]

Selena's mother hated her incompetent husband.

In the name of love, he asked her for everything to fulfill his own interests.

How could she love such a man to death?

Selena looked at the name "Joel Nelson" at the end of the diary. The force of the handwriting was exceptionally

strong as if it would penetrate the paper.

All of her mother's love and hate for the man ended there.

Selena seemed to be able to feel the helplessness and struggle of her mother when she wrote this diary decades

ago.

This was her only outlet.

Thus, she hid the diary under the bed. Even if the old man knew the truth, he would not let people look for his

daughter- in-law's evidence of adultery.

Selena's tears fell, soaking the paper.

She could not express the sadness in her heart.

The last kindness her mother gave her was not killing her.

Before reading this diary, Selena felt it was unfair.

But after seeing this diary, she felt that her mother still loved her.

At that time, the devil's blood was also in Selena. Her mother must have been so disgusted and tangled.

Thus, her mother chose to end her own life.

It was no accident.

Selena's chest felt stuffy, and she trembled slightly.

Outside the door, some footsteps gradually approached.

A hand landed on Selena's shoulder with a familiar warmth, which made her feel relieved.

Eric came.

Selena turned her head, hugged him, and sobbed softly. To some extent, her arrival on this earth was indeed

unwelcome.

She could not resent anyone. Even though she was innocent, compared to her biological mother, Selena did not

know if she could live up to that word.

Selena also hated Joel Nelson for his incompetence. If Joel had not compromised, nothing would have happened.

Selena would be the apple of their eye and be as bright and flamboyant as Nicole.

Eric gently stroked Selena's hair.

After waiting for Selena to calm down, Eric gently tilted her head to wipe her tears.

His movements were incredibly gentle.

"I heard from that woman that Mrs. Nelson jumped from the window of this room."

Eric paused. His voice was low, and he looked at the only window in this princess-decorated room.

Selena looked over as well.

She could not imagine how determined and heartbroken her mother was at the time she jumped off from there.

For some people, being alive was a blessing.

But for her mother, life was suffering.

Selena took a deep breath as she held the diary in her hand.

Now, they were certain that "Mr. Stanton" was a member of the Stanton family.

At the time, only Stanton Corporation had such power to manipulate the police.

However, Selena's mother never wrote down Mr. Stanton’s full name. It was perhaps because she did not even

want to mention it.

They got out of the villa.

Selena only took this diary with her.

Eric did not ask her what was written in this diary.

All he did was pay attention to her emotions.

Selena gradually regained her composure when she arrived at their villa.

She did not forget to tell Eric.

"Chance is coming back for dinner today, so you shouldn’t come back so late. Don't make him wait too long."

Eric looked at her deeply and nodded.

"I’ve already dismissed that woman from the Nelson family. If she comes to look for you again, you can ask her to

come to me. You don't have to see whoever you don’t feel like seeing.”

Selena curled her lips into a smile.

"You still have work to do at the office. Go ahead!"

She heard his phone ring several times, but Eric ignored them.

Eric was still a little worried about her.

"Do you really not need me to stay with you?"

"No."

Selena smiled. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, but she could control her emotions well.

Eric got out of the car, hugged her, and then drove to the office.

Selena went upstairs, changed her clothes, and washed her face before she went out with a bag.

She called Nicole, but Nicole did not answer.

Selena called again. After several rings, Nicole finally picked up.

However, neither of them spoke first.

Selena sniffled and made her voice as relaxed as possible.

"Nicole, can I meet Chairman Stanton? I have something very important to ask him. I won’t barge in to meet him

without permission, but there are some things I need to know the answer to."

Nicole was silent for a few seconds. "I can't make the decision for my father, so let me ask him."

"Okay. Please tell him that I have an old item from twenty years ago that I need his help to identify."

Selena hung up the phone and sat in the car to wait.

Nicole believed in her father, but Selena sounded very serious over the phone. She did not sound like she was lying.

Thus, Nicole went over and asked Floyd if he would like to see Selena.

Of course, Floyd did not want to. He only felt that he would get into more trouble.

Nicole paused. "Dad, I believe in your character, but Selena is not a bad person. She said that she only wants an

answer. She has had a hard life, and this time, she was almost killed by her biological father. Dad, I want to help her

if it's possible."

Floyd took a deep look at his daughter.

"You... Being so soft-hearted may not be a good thing. There are so many people with miserable backgrounds. Will

you be able to help them all? They can't choose the life they are born into, but they can determine their future. She

made the choice to be obsessed with her background. But we aren't the ones who owe her an explanation."

Nicole squatted down and looked up at Floyd.

"Dad, I'm just really happy that Selena is with Eric. During the time when Clayton disappeared, Eric helped me a lot

when I needed it most. I really don’t want him to die alone. Now, he finally found his other half, who happens to be

Selena, my friend. I can't just stand by and watch them suffer, right? Dad, I know that Eric offended you, and we

can use our own way to get revenge on him. But don’t treat Selena as a punching bag, okay?"

It was rare for Nicole to plead so seriously.

Floyd looked at her with deep eyes. The expression on his face was a little complicated.
