The moment Selena raised her head, she saw Nicole. Her bright and slender eyes lit up, and she finished the song.
The loud applause resounded from below the stage. Selena flashed a brilliant and sexy smile. She was flamboyant, vivid, and energetic.
She seemed like a completely different person from the complaining woman who was beaten up and unable to move in the hospital.
Nicole applauded.
After a while, Clayton came out of the private room and called her.
“Baby, do you want to come over and say hello?”
Nicole nodded and waved before she walked over.
Clayton’s customers had some interaction with Stanton Corporation, so there was nothing wrong with Nicole saying hello to them.
Selena finished singing and greeted her friends, but Nicole disappeared in a blink of an eye.
She went upstairs to search for Nicole and thought that Nicole had probably entered one of the rooms.
The waiter walked past, and Selena beckoned to him.
“Did you see which private room a beautiful and elegant woman entered just now?”
The waiter paused and nodded. “Go straight to the last room, Boss. Is she your friend?”
Selena nodded with a smile, then waved at him to get back to work.
The waiter frowned and wanted to ask when Selena befriended such an old woman.
However, Selena trotted away.
The door was not closed fully and was ajar.
Just as Selena was about to open the door and go in, she heard a strange voice inside.
“Mrs. Ferguson, you know how dangerous this task is. Putting aside Nicole Stanton’s identity, it’s impossible that her family won’t try to investigate this if anything happens to her. Once someone from the Stanton family finds out that I did it, I’ll die. Besides, your son, Eric, is so deeply in love with Nicole. Although they’re divorced, everyone knows that Eric can’t forget about her. Do you think I have a death wish for finding trouble with Nicole?”
The middle-aged man’s voice was a bit lazy and sarcastic.
Selena froze.
Soon, a cold middle-aged woman’s voice sounded.
“Don’t worry. I’ll give you enough money to flee Atlanta. I’ll make sure your family is settled, so you won’t be burdened. You’ll never earn so much money in your lifetime, and this is your last chance. That woman doesn’t know her place after remarrying, and Eric keeps disobeying me because of her. He doesn’t treat me as his biological mother!”
Quinn’s voice was a little anxious.
The man let out a deep laugh with a bit of contempt.
“That’s easy. Just give birth to another one.”
“What did you say?” Quinn stopped talking abruptly.
The man chuckled in a low voice. He raised his eyes unscrupulously to look at the well-maintained rich housewife with a bit of playfulness in his smile.
He suddenly pulled Quinn onto his body. Quinn exclaimed. This was the first time she was in such proximity to a man since she separated from Charles Ferguson.
This discomfort made her tremble all over, and she felt embarrassed.
“Let go of me! What are you doing? I’m Charles Ferguson’s wife…”
The man smiled frivolously and touched Quinn’s face.
“I’ve had my fair share of women, but I’ve never fooled around with Charles Ferguson’s wife. Since your son doesn’t trust you anymore, it means you can’t even protect yourself, so how can you protect me if something goes wrong later? I don’t believe you can do it, so shouldn’t you try to bribe me?”
Quinn’s face turned pale. She was furious, anxious, and ashamed.
She could no longer maintain her usual calm and grace.
The man squeezed her neck and wanted to kiss her, but Quinn dodged. The man let go of her instantly, and she fell to the ground.
The man looked away ruthlessly.
“Mrs. Ferguson, since you’re so reluctant, forget it. I don’t want to make this kind of money because I treasure my life.”
As he spoke, he raised his foot and was about to walk outside.
Selena, who was outside, stiffened and hid in the shadows in fear.
Not long after, Quinn suddenly gritted her teeth and went to hug the man.
This was her last chance.
Eric was so powerful that he deprived her of all her dignity and rights in the Ferguson family and trampled all over her.
