The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2599

There was a bit of coldness in Eric’s eyes.

“You have met Selena’s father, right?”

Eric got straight to the most critical point with his first question.

Jennifer trembled slightly. She hesitated but still nodded.

“Who is it?”

Eric did not have any extra words to say.

Jennifer gritted her teeth.

“I don’t know him. I saw him when I was young, but now, I almost can’t recognize him.”

“Can’t recognize him? Then how are you sure that the person who called you is her biological father? Didn’t you even confirm his identity?”

Eric’s tone was a bit cold and frightening.

Jennifer said cautiously, “There were so many people on the beach when I arrived. I thought I saw him because he looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure. I felt strange at the time, and I didn’t believe it until I received a call from him. But if you asked me to find him in a crowd, I can’t be sure because there were too many people at that time. I just glanced at him and didn’t look carefully at all…”

Jennifer’s voice became softer as she spoke, and she wept bitterly.

Judging from what Eric meant, Jennifer knew that he would not let Selena’s biological father go.

Jennifer confessed everything.

“He called me and asked me to check my bank account. I saw the money in my account and did as he said. The ugly fish in the swimming pool wasn’t prepared by me. It was already there when I went. Mr. Ferguson, please forgive me. I’ve told you everything I know. I can apologize to Selena in person… Sob sob sob…”

Eric allowed the cigarette at his fingertips to burn slowly. His brows were tightly knitted together amidst the smoke.

Time passed by every minute.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Eric looked up subconsciously. Selena was standing at the door, and her face was pale and dazed.

Eric’s heart sank. He stood up immediately, but his voice was extremely gentle.

“Why are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you still feel sick?”

Selena looked at Jennifer, who was kneeling and crawling on the ground. Her expression was cold and glum.

“What did you say? Did my biological father order you to kill me?”

Jennifer lowered her head and dared not speak, but her shoulders trembled violently.

Eric could not bear Selena knowing the truth, so he blocked her sight and wanted to take her out.

“Just leave it to me, Selena. You can…”

“I want to know, Eric. I have to know everything. How does my presence hinder him? I never thought about looking for him. I’ve fend for myself to this point, so why does he want to kill me?”

Selena’s eyes were already red.

The crueler fact was that unknown to her, her biological father was also one of the guests invited to the wedding.

He actually wanted someone to kill his daughter on the day of her wedding.

Why?

Was it because he was afraid that Selena would one day find out about him with the help of Eric’s power and find trouble with him?

Or was he afraid that she would pester him and ruin his current life?

Countless thoughts flooded Selena’s mind, all of which were speculations about the unknown murderer.

The first few years of her life were very happy.

However, after her grandfather found out that she was not biologically a Nelson, he used her to the extreme.
