The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2404

Larry wanted to get angry, but when he heard his daughter’s nervous voice, he softened his tone.

“It’s okay. When did Eric have to inform anyone about his decisions? Since he has made up his mind, why would he discuss it with others? Alright, let’s not put all our energy on Chance. Let’s concentrate on shaping your image of a strong career woman! Cindy, don’t let me down!”

“Don’t worry, Dad!”

Cindy curled her lips, but she felt uncertain.

Selena’s case was not very troublesome.

Derek was in a coma, and no one knew when he would wake up. The doctors warned that he might remain in a vegetative state for life.

The Norton family could not accept the fact for a while.

Flora made trouble every day, either at the hospital or at the police station.

However, she was more restrained at the police station after being detained for three days for picking fights and creating trouble.

Then, the influencer who was having an affair with Derek showed up.

She followed Flora and acted like a victim every day. She even talked about it online, saying that they were treated unfairly because of a certain someone who was above the law.

They forgot about Derek’s domestic violence tendencies in the past.

They only talked about the consequences without considering the cause.

Selena’s lawyer paid a large bail to release her from lockup.

Since the surveillance footage showed that Derek provoked Selena first and tried to hurt her, the lawyer claimed that Selena was acting in self-defense.

However, Selena overdid it by smashing another beer bottle on Derek’s head.

Moreover, what she said at the time was really too much.

Fortunately, combined with the various abuse she received in the past and Derek’s warnings and threats to her from time to time, Selena’s actions could be considered as legitimate self-defense.

When Selena was released, she was still nervous.

Selena went all out with the intention of killing Derek and going to prison.

She did not expect that she would be able to be free again.

Mitchell stood there waiting at the police station with a smile.

“Ms. Nelson, welcome back to society!”

“Thank you, Mr. Crawford.”

Selena smiled. Although she looked a bit haggard, her smile was sincere.

It was a pleasant surprise to be released, so she had to thank God for it.

This “God” was Eric.

“Get in the car.”

Mitchell went to open the car door.

Selena did not expect Mitchell to be so nice to pick her up.

In the next second, she froze.

Eric was sitting inside.

The air in the car felt cold.

Selena’s smile disappeared. She did not want to get in the car.

However, Eric helped her a lot. If not for him, Selena would not have gotten out so smoothly.

No matter what, she still owed him a favor. Thus, it was hard to refuse.

She pursed her lips and said with a smile, “Oh, Mr. Ferguson is here too! I’m really sorry to bother you...”

“Auntie, please get in the car...”

A cute kid also got out of the car.

The boy had slightly curly hair, fair and tender skin, and looked beautiful.

“Young Master Chance?”

Selena glanced at Chance in surprise.

Chance did not look weak and pale like the last time Selena saw him. He was pinkish, healthy, and energetic. He wore a formal school uniform and waved at her.

Mitchell stepped forward and opened the car door for her.

“Ms. Nelson, Young Master Chance wanted to thank you personally for saving him last time. That’s why he wanted to pick you up and send you home.”

Selena blinked. Her heart softened.

That poor little boy was so sensible.
