The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2365

The driver had not spoken yet.

Eric, who was in the car, impatiently urged Selena in an extremely cold voice.

“Get in the car. You can’t get a taxi here. There have been reports of mugging in this area. Even if you want to go from being a murderer to a victim, don’t get me involved.”

Selena’s heart sank, but she still got into the car anyway.

The smell of agarwood in the car had already dispersed.

Only the faint smell of agarwood on Eric’s body remained.

Eric was looking at his email on the iPad. His expression was cold and stern, and his eyes were heavy and indifferent.

Selena sat there and did not dare to turn around.

However, she was much more relaxed compared to earlier when she came because Eric let her off the hook.

After a while, the silence was too awkward.

Eric put down the iPad, rubbed his brow bones, and casually said, “You’re temporarily released on bail for today. In the coming days, you must actively cooperate with the police if they ask you to. But every time you go to the police station, get the lawyer to follow you. Mitchell will give you the lawyer’s contact information later, so you can contact him directly.”

Selena felt a dull pain in her chest when she thought of this incident.

She replied, “Okay, thank you.”

“Can’t you say something else apart from sorry and thank you?”

Eric’s tone was cold and indifferent. No other emotions could be heard.

Selena was taken aback.

Even the driver noticed something strange, but he just continued driving as if nothing had happened.

Selena thought about it for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, “But it’s not nice of me not to thank you…”

Eric was speechless.

He seemed to have nothing to say to her.

Sometimes, he thought that she was very shrewd, but sometimes he thought she was stupid. He also thought that she was quite forbearing.

Eric shook his head, tapped his fingers on the iPad screen, and asked in a deep voice, “Why did you run him over?”

She endured it for so long. Why did she run her husband over when she could finally escape from the Nelson family and her marriage?

Selena’s complexion was gray. She lowered her eyes as she did not know the reason as well.

It was just a moment of impulse when she ran over Derek.

“I was afraid that he would beat me, tear out my hair, strip my clothes, punch, and kick me in public. Then, he would just tell the police that it’s a family matter to dismiss everything.”

In fact, Selena was just glad that her grandfather had just passed away, and she could not wait to get out of the Nelson family’s shackles.

She wanted to express her dissatisfaction and resentment, but her method was too stupid.

Selena chuckled lightly. “I’m used to all that, but this time, I just didn’t want to endure it anymore.”

Eric listened silently without making a sound.

He lightly straightened the folds on his sleeves and said casually, “You’re just keeping up with appearances at your own cost.”

Selena’s face froze. She suddenly felt that he hit the nail on the head.

She was keeping up with appearances at her own cost.

The Nelson family was doing the same as well.

The main reason she did not divorce Derek was that she did not want to embarrass the Nelson family.

Thus, she endured it.

However, everyone in the circle knew that Selena did not have a happy marriage.

It was just self-deception.

Selena clenched her teeth. Her eyes trembled slightly. She became a little gloomy, and her voice was shaky.

“So… Is he dead?”

She finally remembered to ask this question.

Eric glanced sideways at her. Her back was straight, and she was a little nervous.

However, she did not seem concerned about Derek.

He curled his lips as if he saw through her bluff.

“He’s not dead. If he was dead, I wouldn’t be able to get you out within half an hour of your arrest. You thought I was capable of doing that?”

How could he take away a murderer openly?

This woman was seriously missing a brain.

She was stupid and daring.

Selena breathed a sigh of relief, and her stiff shoulders relaxed.
