Therefore, Ivan’s relationship with Selena was a combination of new and old grudges.
Ivan did not like Selena at all.
“Are you so shameless that you’re interested in being a third party to another couple? I have never seen anyone who has no moral bottom line like you!”
Selena sneered and smiled strangely.
“Who’s the third party? I think your sister is the third party in this relationship. You can say such a thing, which shows that your upbringing isn’t that great. I have nothing to say to you, Mr. Caldwell. Since you are confidently waiting to become Eric’s brother-in-law, then go directly to him. I’m not interested in acting like a fake b*tch or a saint. That just disgusts me.”
As Selena spoke, she glanced at Lara.
Lara froze slightly and subconsciously looked at Ivan.
Selena said lightly, “Also, do you really think that I’m just like you guys, rushing to become Mrs. Ferguson? Eric begged me to get back together with him. Even if he knelt in front of me and proposed, I wouldn’t agree to marry him. Between me and him, he’s always the one who’s been clinging on to me!”
It felt great to just date without the goal of marriage.
Ivan was livid, and he looked at her angrily.
“You really have no sense of shame. If you are still with Eric when my sister marries him, I’ll get someone to get rid of you—”
Ivan said some harsh words and was not afraid that Selena would disagree.
However, before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of handmade leather shoes against the deck and the crisp sound of a cane accidentally hitting the railing.
Eric said in a cold and gloomy voice, “Who do you want to get rid of?”
Although his voice was calm, everyone could hear the forbearance and anger in it.
Ivan was taken aback for a moment. He watched as Eric came up the stairs wearing sunglasses. Eric’s face was cold and glum, and he looked so indifferent and unapproachable.
Ivan did not expect Eric to appear suddenly because Eric could not see and must be guided by others, so Eric probably would not come up to the second floor.
Ivan suddenly felt guilty.
Lara, who was next to Ivan, did not even dare to say a word as she stood beside Ivan like a baby chick.
Seeing this, Selena smiled, walked over, and took Eric’s arm.
“He wants to get rid of me, of course!”
Eric’s face was tense and glum. His shirt was blown up by the wind, and his figure was tall and straight. His shadow blended with the dark sky.
Eric loosened his collar and said in a cold voice.
“Who will dare to get rid of you? You’re my treasure. I can’t even bear to hurt you, so who else will?”
Selena heard the meaning of his words and could not help but chuckle. She stretched out her hand to pinch his thin waist. Unfortunately, there were no fats that she could pinch, so it was a waste of effort.
However, she still leaned forward and warned him.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Eric smiled and said, “Come on, introduce me. Who are these two in front of you?”
“Oh, it’s Ivan Caldwell and Lara. They came to ask me to persuade you, but I didn’t hear pleading. All I heard was them accusing me of being ignorant and threatening me to leave a way out for myself. Mr. Ferguson, don’t you think I’m wronged? I wasn’t the one who blacklisted Lara, so why did they come to me?”
Selena held Eric’s arm coquettishly and deliberately showed her intimacy with Eric in front of them.
She wanted to piss them off.
Eric was silent for a moment and looked stern.
“What else did they say?”
Selena paused for a moment, glanced at the nervous Ivan, and said with a smile, “Mr. Caldwell said that you’re here to go on a blind date with Ms. Caldwell. He also said that you’re getting married soon. After you get married, I will be the third party in your relationship. That’s why he wants to find someone to get rid of me.”
“Is that so?” Eric’s expression was terrifying.
Lara could not help but said, “It’s all a joke, Mr. Ferguson. Please don’t take it seriously. Mr. Caldwell has no bad intentions. He was just joking. Just now, Mr. Caldwell said that he plans to start a film company and make Ms. Nelson the female lead!”
