Chapter 2357 Joke

At that moment, Selena could feel the temperature in the office dropping below freezing point.

The chill could freeze over everything in an instant.

Eric’s face was gloomy. His long eyelashes drooped down, and when he raised his gaze again, he had already

covered up the turbulent emotions inside, i

Selena did not even dare to speak anymore.

Eric's tone was cold and stern. He raised his chin and revealed his sharp jawline.

"Why should I trust you?"

Selena raised her eyes and looked at him.

'There are surveillance cameras in every room. If you want to see it, I can have someone bring it to you, but I

advise you against watching it. I'll delete it.”

She stood up, pursed her lips, and said in a soft voice, "I just want to thank you. I'm not taking this opportunity to

blackmail you.”

"Did you tell Nicole?" Eric suddenly asked.

The first thing he cared about was his ex-wife.

Selena was a little touched.

"Ms. Stanton and her husband also went to the bar last

night. I reminded her to be careful, but I didn't say anything else."

Eric lowered his eyes. He felt like someone strangled his throat.

His face became extremely glum, livid, and cold as if he could kill someone.

Anger and pent-up emotions seemed to be tinged with rage and disappointment.

After all, his biological mother did this kind of thing and completely disregarded her family’s reputation and her

son’s thoughts. No one would be able to accept it.

After a dead silence, Eric raised his dark eyes which were sharp and stern. His voice was hoarse and forbearing as

he said, "I'll get someone to go over and destroy the footage. I hope you can cooperate."

"Certainly."

Selena had no objections.

After thinking about it, Selena did not want to stay any longer.

"I’ve said everything I need to. We're even now. I have other things to tend to. Goodbye."

She nodded and turned to leave.

When her hand touched the office door, Eric said indifferently, "Ms. Nelson, shall I give you a gift?"

Selena turned her head in surprise.

Eric stood there without any emotion as he calmly tugged at his collar, looking unruly.

He knew the weight of this secret.

Thus, she knew that they were not even after helping her twice.

Eric looked at her silently, but his words were cold.

"Don't feel sorry for your failed marriage. Do you know why Orville Nelson married you off to Derek Norton in

exchange for resources from the Nelson family? That's because you're not his biological granddaughter. You're an

illegitimate child because your mother cheated on your father. After your parents died in a car accident, no one

knew this secret. Your biological father went to Orville Nelson and asked for money when you came of age. Only

then did Orville Nelson find out about your background and take a paternity test."

Eric spoke slowly without the slightest emotion. He was stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

However, Selena froze. She was stiff and cold, and her face was pale.

She trembled unconsciously as if she could not accept this fact.

Her palms were sweating, and she looked sideways at him as tears fell unconsciously.

"You..."

Eric looked at her. His dark eyes were still.

He was inexplicably aggressive.

"I wanted to help you as compensation for hitting you with my car, but you refused. It's not too late to tell you now."

He did not like people who pestered him because of benefits.

Since he accidentally bumped into Selena, he sent people to investigate this woman.

She was cowardly, useless, and sentimental.

If she put forward her conditions, he would help her, but she gave up.

Selena did not even know how to use the resources around her, so she was worthless.

Selena did not react for a long time. She stood there and let her tears fall.

Her body trembled slightly.

A numbing pain came from her heart and spread to her limbs.

Soon, she opened the door and walked out.

The office was dead silent.

A few minutes later, Mitchell pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Ferguson."

Eric was sitting on the sofa with his back bent and his head hanging low.

The veins on his neck were clearly visible, and his skin was lifeless and pale.

He seemed to be immersed in overwhelming loneliness.

Mitchell felt uneasy.

He did not know what Selena said to Eric to make the always indifferent Eric become like this.

After a long time, Eric raised his head slowly. His face was uncontrollably glum and cold. His pupils were deep and

turbulent like the sea.

His dark eyebrows suppressed a strong hostility.

His voice was tough and gloomy as he parted his thin lips slightly.

"Go to Selena’s bar and destroy all the surveillance footage. Don't let anyone check the contents and destroy them

in the most thorough way. Get someone to look for Nicole... Forget it, look for Clayton instead."

Mitchell listened solemnly, nodded, and did not dare to ask more questions.

He vaguely felt that it had something to do with Nicole, but it was not entirely about her either.

There seemed to be an even bigger secret behind this. 1

After he left, Eric bent his back again. He felt as if he was about to collapse.

He remembered the last quarrel he had with his mother.

He thought she understood.

After being Mrs. Ferguson for so many years, she had all the glory and wealth she wanted, but she still did not

understand what her responsibility was. 1

This mother...

Eric did not even feel disappointed.

Eric pinched his sullen eyebrows, and his eyes were red as if he was suppressing something.

He felt that the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, so he slid his fingertips over as if nothing was wrong. i

In the end, he still looked like the cold and ruthless Eric that people feared.

Mitchell acted quickly.

After returning, he put a memory card on Eric's desktop.

Eric raised his eyes coldly.

Mitchell paused and explained, 'This is their backup card. I saw the others being destroyed with my own eyes. Ms.

Nelson called and agreed. The people at the bar also cooperated. If you don't want to see it, I’ll destroy it."

Eric did not move. He looked gloomy, and his tone was cold and scary.

"Have you seen it?"

Mitchell pursed his lips and shook his head. "No."

He still did not know what was in the footage that Eric asked him to destroy.

Eric stared at him to check whether he was lying.

He was exuding a domineering vibe that seemed to be able to devour everything.

However, Mitchell had a clear conscience.

Even if Mitchell was not guilty, it did not mean that he was not afraid.

The reason Mitchell kept a backup was because of his professional habit to answer Eric if needed. That way, he

would not be helpless when Eric asked for it. ’

Mitchell did not know that the footage inside could not be seen by others.

After a long time, Mitchell felt chills on his back from being stared at so intensely. When he was fidgeting, Eric finally

let him go.

'You may leave.

'Yes, sir."
