The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2567

“Mr. Ferguson, you can’t listen to her one-sided words. Girls these days are good at sweet-talking people. All she wants is your money. Just now, Ms. Nelson said that even if you kneel down here and propose to her, she won’t agree to marry you. She doesn’t like you. She’s just after your money!”

Lara wished that Eric could sober up.

He also did not care whether her words sounded deliberately provocative.

After Lara said that, the air was dead silent.

Eric’s face also darkened.

Since he was wearing sunglasses, and it was dark outside, no one could see the expression on his face clearly.

The smooth and sharp outline of his face appeared a little rigid, and his body was slightly tense.

Selena was in close proximity to Eric, so she could feel the air around him turn cold. He suddenly clenched her hand tightly.

He squeezed her hand so tight that Selena felt the pain.

The laughter from downstairs sounded. It was completely opposite to the dead silence on the second floor.

Soon, the waiter led Mr. Caldwell and Taylor over.

Taylor wanted to follow her father.

She heard that Ivan had offended Eric, and for some reason, Eric asked Mr. Caldwell to come and apologize.

“Mr. Ferguson, why don’t you go downstairs to mingle? What happened here?”

As soon as Taylor’s father came upstairs, he approached them. The first thing he saw was Eric and the woman who snuggled up to him. She looked gorgeous and limp as she leaned on him and held his hand.

On the other hand, Ivan stood on the opposite side with a gloomy face, and there was an older woman standing beside him.

This situation made Mr. Caldwell feel a little embarrassed.

Mr. Caldwell did not want his daughter to witness this.

However, it was too late. Taylor saw everything, including Selena and Eric’s interlocked hands.

She also saw Selena looking at Eric with some reproach, as if she was annoyed at him for hurting her.

They had a kind of intimacy that did not allow others to get between them.

It was just like that day at the entrance after the banquet when Eric looked down at Selena with stars in his eyes.

Eric’s eyes were tender and sweet.

That scene deeply impressed Taylor’s heart.

Her parents always had a great relationship.

Even if Taylor’s mother could not give birth, her father did not look for another woman. Instead, her father went to adopt an orphan from the countryside. He even took the orphan for a paternity test to prove that Ivan was not his illegitimate child.

Thus, Taylor’s mother accepted this adopted child with peace of mind.

Taylor had always longed for this kind of feeling.

Thus, she felt that Eric was a suitable husband. He knew how to love his partners and be responsible. He was also very capable. Thus, he was a good candidate.

However, Taylor only saw another woman clinging to Eric without any shyness. It was so awkward for everyone else.

Mr. Caldwell was well-informed and walked forward with a smile.

“Did Ivan offend you, Mr. Ferguson? I’ll apologize to you on his behalf. He’s still young…”

Eric interrupted him impatiently. His voice was deep.

“He’s not young anymore, so he should know how to speak properly. Ivan and Lara teamed up to bully my girlfriend and threatened her. I don’t think I need to repeat them one by one. Chairman Caldwell, you should take your son home and teach him properly. If you don’t teach him properly, don’t bring him out to embarrass yourself. But before that, I hope that you can apologize to my girlfriend on behalf of your son.”

Eric’s words and tone were extremely cold, which penetrated deep into their bones.

His words offended them, but Eric was not afraid of offending others.

Eric did not care even if that person was the chairman of CK Corporation.
