The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2489

Eric’s series of questions were more like declarative sentences that poked at Selena’s wounds.

Every question hit the mark.

Selena did not have anything to say.

This shrewd Eric saw through it at a glance.

Selena could not pretend that nothing happened or find excuses for Zachary.

Since Selena was determined to give up on Zachary, there was no need to protect him.

Seeing that Selena did not speak, Eric added, “What great taste you have!”

Eric’s sarcasm was so obvious that Selena could hear it, unless she was a fool.

Selena pursed her lips but did not yell back at him.

After all, Eric saved her, so she had to show him some respect.

The car drove back to the city. Selena also saw a fire truck passing by.

Selena sighed and let go of something heavy in her heart. However, she did not feel regretful.

Seeing this, Eric took out his phone, clicked on a chat, and handed it over to Selena.

“Here. You’ll feel better after reading it.”

An emotion flashed in Selena’s heart. She frowned slightly and took it in a daze.

She saw the chat record and noticed that it was from Mr. Cohen, the Fire District Chief.

The chat content was concise.

[Zachary reported Ms. Nelson’s bar, so it was investigated. He said that he went there by accident and thought that some changes were needed to rectify the firefighting system. I hope Ms. Nelson doesn’t take it to heart.]

Selena’s eyes widened, and she read it several times with a serious expression.

She held the phone and did not even know how to react.

Suddenly she sneered.

Zachary actually reported her?

Selena frowned and thought about how Zachary went to the bar to actively help her solve various problems.

She did not know whether she should thank him or scold him.

Looking at the timestamp, Selena noticed that Mr. Cohen sent this explanation to Eric the night they had dinner together.

However, Eric never told her.

Selena raised her head to meet Eric’s gaze and was a little puzzled.

“You already knew?”

Eric pursed his lips and glanced at her calmly.

It was self-evident.

Eric did not even need to investigate it before Mr. Cohen explained what happened since he noticed how Eric was protecting Selena at the dining table. This was to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

When Selena returned the phone to Eric, she suddenly felt powerless, as if her bones had been ripped out.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“It’s not a big deal. What he did was a bit underhanded, but there’s nothing wrong with it. If you didn’t make mistakes, he wouldn’t be able to find any evidence even if he reported you. It’s also a good thing that you can take the opportunity to rectify this. What’s more, I didn’t need to use this to my advantage.”

Eric was obviously contemptuous and disdainful of Zachary.

Selena pursed her lips.

If she found out about this matter under normal circumstances, she would feel a little upset, but it was not a big deal.

After all, there were no serious consequences, and he helped the bar solve any future troubles.

However, Selena could not remain indifferent. This unhappiness was magnified a hundred times.

It strengthened her determination to stay away from her harmless but duplicitous college classmate.

The car entered the city and arrived at Eric’s villa.

“We’re here, Mr. Ferguson.”

Eric responded and got out of the car.

However, Selena stayed in the car and looked at the villa in front of her in disbelief.

“Can’t you take me back to the bar? Why am I here?”
