The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2538

Selena looked at Eric’s smiling face. His eyes were still stern and indifferent. He seemed so aloof and unapproachable, as if she would never attain his heart.

Eric’s words seemed gentle like he did not blame her, but it felt as if he had slapped her hard in the face.

Her face felt hot, and she felt like her darkest secret was exposed.

Selena was stunned for a few seconds. She stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, calmed down, and looked back at him.

She said in a clear and cold tone, “You don’t need to put it so nicely. You’re just trying to say that I overstepped my bounds, right? I have already apologized and promised not to do it again. Why do you still want to insult me?”

Eric’s expression turned glum. His eyes also dimmed slightly.

“I didn’t mean to insult you. I was just talking to you. Don’t overthink it.”

“Any normal person would misunderstand the way you put it. Eric, I did read your message, but so what? Are you saying there’s some kind of confidential work in your conversation? If so, why did you show it to me just now? If not, why can’t I read it? I know we can’t get married, but don’t I have the normal rights of a girlfriend? Or is your girlfriend now Ms. Caldwell, but I’m somehow unaware of it?”

Selena took a deep breath. She finally lashed out all her pent-up frustration.

She was not one to endure grievances.

If they were happy, they could stay together. If not, they would break up.

Having such a messy relationship would just make her unhappy.

There was a dead silence in the room for a moment.

Eric’s forbearing expression became calm and cold.

He stared at her with an indistinct emotion. However, his lips were tightly pursed, which showed his current mood.

He was silent and cold.

Eric watched Selena vent. Then, he sat up, raised his chin slightly, and met her gaze.

“I’ve already explained why we can’t get married and what happened with Taylor. Why do you still want to bring up the past? Are you not satisfied with my explanation? If so, why didn’t you bring it up at that time? Instead, you’re trying to settle accounts now? I don’t understand, Selena. You’re obviously not such a suspicious and calculating person. Why did you become like this? The information on my phone is confidential. Even Mitchell isn’t privy to that information. Why are you threatening me with our relationship? Why do you need evidence of my loyalty to you? I always thought that we can trust each other and that we don’t need to use this way to prove each other’s sincerity.”

When Eric was talking, he tried his best to calm himself and communicated his thoughts rationally.

He would never blindly tolerate a woman hurting his career.

Selena could do nothing or have her own hobbies, but that was only if she did not harm the interests of Ferguson Corporation.

Otherwise, the nature of their relationship would change.

Sooner or later, Eric would have to say these words to Selena. Since she mentioned it now, Eric thought to just explain it clearly.

Both of them fell silent.

There was dead silence, and the room felt icy.

They were estranged from each other.
