The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2364

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 that they were in the car. When she stood up, her head hit the roof of the car.

She gasped in pain and accidentally bumped into Eric’s body.

The warm agarwood scent filled her nose and made her tense up in an instant.

The next second, Eric pushed her away. He had a cold and indifferent attitude. His actions were not gentle and were full of disgust.

Selena’s face turned red instantly. She could not even maintain her composure.

After a long and unfortunate day, Selena felt like all she could say was “sorry”.

Eric finally spoke with an indifferent voice.

“Ms. Nelson, I’m not familiar with you. I hope this kind of thing won’t happen again. Secrets are safest with dead people. If you can’t keep a secret, I’ll help you.”

His light tone startled her, and she froze in place.

Every word he said hammered into her head.

The pain she felt was bone-chilling and eerie.

Selena raised her eyes to look at him in shock.

However, she could not see his expression clearly. There was no light around him, except for the red cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his hand.

Eric was indescribably dangerous and sinister.

He was also extremely arrogant.

Selena felt like she was standing in the snow, and her blood began to freeze over.

The Eric she knew in the past was just a wealthy and influential businessman.

He would help her out and did not care about her lies. He was also good at exchanging information.

If she did him a little favor, he would repay her two-fold and would not owe her anything.

If she tried to trick him, he would immediately fight back. He was shrewd and sharp.

Eric was willing to show mercy, but only if it did not violate his bottom line.

Selena realized how little she understood Eric.

At this moment, she was terrified of him.

It was a strong and bone-piercing fear.

She threatened him, and now, it was his turn to warn her.

Selena suddenly became mute. She lost her voice.

All explanations seemed futile.

Would he believe her if she said it was not intentional?

Would he still trust a person who did not keep her word?

Selena felt cold all over.

She exhausted all her strength and tried her best to control her panic.

Selena nodded heavily. Her body was tense, and she forced herself to say something.

“Okay, I understand. Don’t worry. I will take this secret to my grave.”

She said this to remind herself.

Eric raised his eyes and suppressed his emotions. He glanced at Selena and was in a daze for a moment.

He thought he saw someone else.

That one glance made his heart skip a beat.

His pitch-black eyes deepened in an instant, and he had a complicated look on his face.

His chest was tight and painful. He felt suffocated.

It was a strange feeling.

His cold heart suddenly softened.
