It was late at night.
The police officers at the station recognized Selena as the woman who got into an accident at the entrance of the hospital last time.
Thus, they also knew that Selena had a relationship with Eric.
After some thought, a police officer called Mitchell to inform him about the situation.
When Mitchell found out, he was still a little confused.
“Mr. Crawford, I don’t know if you want to get involved in this matter. I’m just afraid to offend Mr. Ferguson.”
Mitchell understood that the officer was being tentative, so he smiled and said, “Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson are not very close friends, but we do owe her a favor. How about this? You can continue the interrogation while I ask Mr. Ferguson what he plans to do.”
“Okay. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”
After the officer hung up the phone, Mitchell hesitated whether to inform Eric about this. He was in a dilemma.
Eric was scheduled to have dinner tonight with Larry and Cindy Yeager and talk about cooperation in the meantime.
They should be in the restaurant by now.
Mitchell took a deep breath and thought that it was better to drive straight to the restaurant.
He was waiting if Selena would contact him in person. Since Selena and Eric helped each other previously, Selena might just bite the bullet and ask for Eric’s help.
However, she did not.
It seemed like she did not intend to ask anyone for help.
Half an hour later, Mitchell went up to the top floor of the restaurant.
The weird thing was that the top floor was empty.
Moreover, Cindy was sitting with Eric alone. Larry was not there.
Mitchell understood in an instant. Larry wanted to pair his daughter with Eric, so he did not stay as a third wheel.
Eric was cold and indifferent as his stern face was in the shadows.
He seemed emotionally detached.
Even on such an occasion, Eric did not show any intimacy with the woman across from him.
The two of them seemed to be talking about the company’s matters.
Cindy, who was sitting opposite Eric, was more expressive. She talked about different topics from time to time and did not mind Eric’s monotonous and boring answers.
Mitchell sighed. It seemed like Eric would more likely favor the Yeagers in a marriage alliance.
If Eric did not help Selena, she might be jailed for the rest of her life.
Mitchell stepped forward bravely, respectfully, and politely.
“Please excuse me, President and Ms. Yeager.”
Eric glanced at Mitchell. “What’s the matter?”
Cindy also looked at Mitchell with some scrutiny.
Mitchell pursed his lips calmly. “Something unexpected happened that needs your attention.”
“Speak.”
Eric spoke in a cold voice.
Mitchell looked at Cindy and said nothing.
Cindy’s eyes flickered slightly. She stood up.
“I’m going to the bathroom. You guys can talk.”
Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Cindy left, Mitchell took a step forward. He thought she left, so he did not lower his voice.
“President, the police station called just now, saying that Ms. Nelson beat up Derek Norton. The situation looks serious, and she has already been taken away by the police.”
Eric’s face changed slightly, showing a bit of shock.
He suddenly threw the knife and fork in his hand in front of him.
“Is that woman crazy? She beats and swears at people as if the police station is her home!”
Anger crept across his face.
Mitchell stood there. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of high heels approaching.
It turned out that Cindy did not go to the bathroom at all. Otherwise, she would not have come back so soon.
Mitchell’s expression changed slightly.
Cindy walked up to them, took her bag, and smiled apologetically.
