“You sl*t! You keep trying to kill Derek! What did he ever do to you? Back then, he made the wrong decision to marry you! You b*tch! He fed and clothed you, but your blood-sucking family just wants to harm him...”
A middle-aged woman yelled at Selena.
“She’s Derek Norton’s mother,” Mitchell said from the side.
Eric paused and did not want to go in.
The next second, a voice that was louder than Flora’s suddenly resounded.
“F*ck you and your family! Your family is lucky that Derek married me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to marry a decent person like me! I didn’t take anything from you, so don’t take the credit. You’re all rats that came out of the gutter, doing underhanded deals, yet you dare to scold me? Are you so stupid to give the Nelson family money when they asked for it? Bah! I didn’t ask for anything from your family, and I didn’t spend a penny of your money. There’s no way I’ll admit to Derek supporting me. Derek Norton is a son of a b*tch, and he deserves to die! I really wish he’d die tonight. Just as well, you can start planning his funeral or maybe just die with him. At least you can accompany your precious son in hell!”
Selena yelled at Flora because she had been drinking and did not have a care in the world.
She did not care about anything anymore.
Selena could not put up with Derek Norton, let alone his mother!
The situation in the room was out of control for a moment.
The police outside dared not go in because anyone who advised them to stop would get scolded as well.
Selena and Flora had a deep grudge against each other. One refused to admit her fault, while the other was the victim’s family. What could the police officers do?
The police officers rushed to meet Eric when they saw him standing there, tall and upright.
“Mr. Ferguson, you...”
Eric’s face was stiff and dark. He pursed his lips.
“The lawyer will be here soon. Let’s see what the lawyer says. We won’t do anything that violates the regulations.”
Selena scolding that woman reminded Eric of the time Selena scolded him.
Eric was annoyed.
He did not want to see Selena now because he might get implicated.
Eric could not talk back to her here.
Eric glanced at Mitchell. “You can wait here. I’ll go out and make a call.”
Mitchell nodded dumbfoundedly.
Flora was overwhelmed by Selena.
She had never lost an argument before, but she could not seem to get the upper hand in this yelling match with her ex-daughter-in-law!
Thus, Flora opened the door and slammed it.
“Just wait for a life sentence!”
Flora did not forget to leave some harsh words.
She wanted to teach Selena a lesson.
The door opened again.
Selena saw Mitchell this time.
“Mr. Crawford?”
Mitchell walked to the door with a smile. “How are you? Don’t worry. The lawyer will be here soon!”
“I don’t even have the nerve to bother you, Mr. Crawford. You’ve helped me so many times. I’m really sorry to disturb you.”
“It’s nothing. You helped me last time and got driven away. I still feel bad for that.”
Mitchell was talking about the time Cindy humiliated Selena.
Selena could ignore it, but Mitchell could not pretend that nothing happened.
