The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2568

“Let’s go…”

Mr. Caldwell nodded, looked up at Eric, smiled calmly, and finally shifted his gaze to Selena.

“We’ll take our leave, then. I wish you both happiness, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson.”

This was Eric’s ultimate goal.

Eric wanted everyone to know about his relationship with Selena.

He made Mr. Caldwell bow his head and apologize, which was humiliating. That way, it would cut off any idea that the Caldwells have about wanting Taylor to marry Eric.

Mr. Caldwell saw it from the very beginning. His silly daughter uttered cruel words and stopped all cooperation with Eric.

This was Eric’s purpose.

Mr. Caldwell was willing to cooperate because he knew that as long as Eric did not agree to it, Taylor would not be able to marry him even if she wanted to.

Mr. Caldwell only came today just to test the waters.

He saw the results and had nothing more to say.

Selena also felt that Eric went overboard. Mr. Caldwell was not like Ivan.

He was a kind and reasonable man.

Selena felt a little embarrassed to receive his apology.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Selena quickly said, “Chairman Caldwell, Ivan is just outspoken. I didn’t actually take it to heart, but you should remind him not to be used as a pawn. I have no grudges against Ivan, and we had never even met before, but he stood up for someone else without asking for the full story. In the end, he finally got into trouble and asked his family to clean up the mess. On the contrary, the woman behind him remained silent. If he still can’t see it, then I can only say that he deserves it.”

Selena’s words stopped short.

Mr. Caldwell gave Ivan a meaningful look.

Ivan was anxious. He immediately looked at Lara, who shook her head in a panic and wanted to explain.

“No, it’s not me…”

Mr. Caldwell did not say much. He nodded slightly toward Selena and left with his children.

Lara was so nervous that she did not know what to do. She did not know how things escalated like this.

How could Eric be so biased toward Selena, an insignificant caregiver?

“Mr. Ferguson, what Ms. Nelson said is not true! I did apologize sincerely!”

Eric chuckled lightly. “Sincerely?”

He said this word playfully and did not want to talk to Lara anymore.

Eric squeezed Selena’s hand.

“Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything? They must have disturbed your good mood.”

Selena smiled. The gloom just now finally dissipated.

Eric’s strangeness also disappeared.

This was his normal self.

“Yeah. Shall we get something to eat?”

“Sure.”

Eric smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His heart was heavy and burdened.

The waiter came over and led them in the other direction.

“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Nelson, there is an elevator over there.”

They specially arranged it for Eric.

Selena thanked the waiter and walked over with Eric.

After entering the elevator, the lights brightened.

His handsome face was covered under his sunglasses. His nose bridge was straight, and his eyelids were thin and restrained.

As soon as the two got on the elevator, Selena relaxed and wanted to let go of his hand, but Eric did not budge.

Selena smiled. “There’s no one else here, so you can let go now. Mr. Ferguson, you were so cool just now!”

Eric turned his head slightly, not knowing whether he was facing her or not. His eyes swept past her, and his tone was calm.

“Cool? Selena, do you still want to marry me?”

His deep voice resounded in the elevator.

Eric thought about it. Perhaps he was too impulsive and should not ask her like this.

The series of things that followed would overwhelm him.

However, Lara’s words were still lingering in his ears. Selena did not like him at all.
