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.
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?”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
