The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2459

Mitchell took a deep breath, paused, and said, “Mr. Ferguson, the person who stabbed you used to be a construction worker that worked on the Yeager family’s project. I suspect that Larry Yeager was reluctant to give up on this project, so he placed his own people here. This person has a criminal record, no family members, and has a clean bank account with no abnormal transactions.”

This was what made Mitchell feel so helpless.

There was no monetary exchange, which meant that there was no evidence to prove the relationship between this person and the Yeager family.

They could not do anything about the Yeagers.

Eric’s face was cold and expressionless. He did not look surprised, as if he had expected this a long time ago.

There was a moment of silence.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

Eric raised his chin, and Mitchell went to open the door.

“Ms. Nelson, I didn’t see you just now. Thanks for your hard work during this time.”

Selena smiled. “You’re welcome. I’m finally done here, so I came to say goodbye. I haven’t been back to the bar for a long time…”

Mitchell wanted to get someone to see her off when Eric called out in a cold voice, “Come in…”

Mitchell stepped aside, and Selena walked in with a restrained smile.

“Mr. Ferguson, your voice is resounding, so it seems that I’m no longer needed here. I still have a lot of things to do, so…”

Eric coughed. His face was glum as he stared at her closely.

“You’re not needed here? You didn’t take good care of me during this time, so you can’t just leave like this!”

“What?”

Selena could not help but retort. “How are you not well taken care of? You didn’t lose a limb, and you didn’t develop a fever and get brain damage. So, how are you not well taken care of?”

Mitchell was stunned for a moment. He also felt that Eric was being mean.

Selena folded her arms across her chest and took a deep breath to suppress her emotions.

“I shouldn’t have hoped for you to wake up! How great would it be if this world were to have one less monster like you!”

Mitchell wished he could disappear from this room.

He thought, ‘Can Selena choose a time when I’m not around to scold my boss? It’s so awkward for me to be here!’

Eric sneered.

“I smell so bad! Look for yourself. Is this how you should be taking care of a patient?”

Eric complained with frustration.

Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly.

“I’m not your nurse, so why should I wipe your body? Mr. Ferguson, I’m afraid to touch you because you’ll just blame me for losing your virginity! You should be grateful to me. Otherwise, our relationship will just get more complicated!”

When Eric heard this, he became even angrier.

“You already stayed here, so why are you still afraid of what others say?”

“So, you think I should just go all out?!”

Not to be outdone, Selena yelled back.

Eric said, “Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?”

The more Mitchell listened, the more he thought that something was off.

Mitchell pursed his lips and thought that Eric had misunderstood Selena.

After all, Mitchell invited Selena over. If Eric wrongly accused her, would she still help him next time if he needed it?

Mitchell quickly coughed to interrupt their conversation.

“Um, Mr. Ferguson… Actually, I asked Ms. Nelson to put aside her job at the bar to come and help because I was afraid that others would find out about your injury. Ms. Nelson came here out of good intentions, not because…”

“Shut up!”

Eric spoke in a cold voice and glared at Mitchell.

“What do you know? Get out!”

Mitchell was speechless.

He looked at Eric, then at Selena.

Selena went over and patted Mitchell on the shoulder.

“Mr. Crawford, don’t worry. All that matters is that you understand that I’m innocent. I’ll explain it to Mr. Ferguson.”

Mitchell nodded and looked at Selena hesitantly with an apologetic expression on his face.

Did he get Selena in trouble?

Mitchell just hoped that Eric would not repay Selena’s kindness with enmity.

After Mitchell went out, Selena restrained her smile, looked at Eric’s hostile eyes, and scoffed.

“Mr. Ferguson, Mitchell might not be aware, but we both are clear that you’re not at all interested in me. So, why should I take care of you so well?”

Eric pursed his lips. His face was stern.
