The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2605

“You did. I guessed it right, huh? You wished that Selena was really my father’s illegitimate daughter so that you would have a target to vent your anger instead of looking aimlessly for someone. You can also take this opportunity to blackmail our family and invade Stanton Corporation by using Selena as an excuse. Am I right?”

Nicole sneered, and that contemptuous gaze on her gorgeous face stung Eric.

His heart throbbed involuntarily.

He could not control it.

This was not Eric’s intention. He just wanted to find out the facts.

However, he could not utter a word of explanation.

Kai said coldly, “Nicole, why are you still talking nonsense to him? Now that you’ve figured it out, just kick him out. Must we respond to anyone who accuses us?”

There was a bit of chill on Eric’s face.

“Chairman Stanton, since you’re confident that Selena isn’t your daughter, why not take a paternity test with her? If the result is as you said, I will stop my investigation and offer you a generous gift of apology.”

Floyd’s face was gloomy as he took a deep look at Eric.

“I won’t do as you say, but I can also tell you that your wife has no relations to me. I have only fathered four children in my life, no others. You can believe what you will, Mr. Ferguson.”

Eric frowned and wanted to say something, but Selena tugged at his sleeve and said softly, “Forget it, we’re too presumptuous. Let’s think of other ways.”

Eric’s eyes were cold. He hesitated to speak.

“But…”

Nicole yelled in a cold voice, “Get out! You’re not welcome here, Eric. Don’t be so self-righteous. If you’re so capable, you can show some evidence or send your bodyguards to try something again. Let’s see which is faster, your father getting into an accident or your bodyguard taking a DNA sample.”

Eric’s eyes darkened, and he looked at her without speaking.

Even Kai was surprised by Nicole’s blatant threat.

Grant was very calm because he knew that Eric crossed Nicole’s bottom line, which was her family.

Eric dared to touch her family, so she would go all out to fight him.

Selena’s face turned pale in shock. “Nicole, I’m sorry. This matter…”

“Selena, I regard you as a friend. But to me, family comes first. I’m sorry. If I must choose between two sides of the conflict, I will definitely stand on my family’s side. You don’t have to apologize because I won’t accept it. That’s because my father was hurt in this incident. I know that you’re also a victim, but it’s not our place to understand your situation, nor can this be a reason to hurt us. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible. But my family will not cooperate with you.”

Nicole glanced at Mr. Anderson.

“Please send off the guests.”

The butler understood and stepped forward.

“Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, this way please.”

Eric took a deep breath, turned around, and left.

Selena followed.

She walked out in a daze. Judging by the Stanton family’s attitude, Selena seemed to feel that their investigation was going in the wrong direction.

Floyd could cooperate and do the paternity test, but he refused because it would be an insult to the Stanton family.

Nicole’s determination and indifference made Selena feel disheartened. However, Selena also felt guilty for indirectly hurting Nicole.

The Stanton family did not accept the gift that Eric brought.

After the couple got into the car, they were silent.

Selena looked at Eric to the side.

“Aren’t you upset that Nicole misunderstood you like that?”

Eric frowned slightly, then he squeezed her hand. His throat moved slightly.

“Selena, I…”
