Chaz asked, “Boss, what happened? It’s almost 10:00 pm, but you didn’t come downstairs, so I thought you left with Mr. Ferguson.”
Selena’s expression was calm. She did not even shed a single tear.
It seemed like nothing had happened. However, her dispirited look as she sat there made Chaz wonder what was wrong.
She paused and slowly moved her gaze to look at Chaz.
“We broke up.”
Chaz was silent for a moment before he smiled.
“It’s okay. That’s good! I support you.”
“You do? Didn’t you always want me to be with him?”
Chaz raised his eyebrows and laughed.
“That’s on the premise that you like each other. I just wanted you to get out of your previous marriage. But from the looks of those overwhelming comments about Eric and that woman online, he didn’t care to avoid suspicion at all. It shows that he allowed this rumor to spread. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to say. I have a problem with him allowing this kind of rumor to hurt you. What else can you do but break up with him?”
Selena’s eyes flickered slightly. She suddenly smiled.
“Chaz, you really sound like a relationship expert. So many women will fall for you if you actually like women.”
Chaz looked at her seriously.
“There are no ifs. I’ve always been clear about my sexual orientation, and I’m loyal to my partner.”
Selena nodded and stood up.
“Come on. Let’s go down and help.”
Chaz pressed her shoulder and sighed.
“Forget it. I’ll give you a day off today, so you can rest up here. I’ll handle downstairs.”
“You’re so nice?”
“I’m different from you, Boss. I’m a capitalist with a conscience!”
Chaz teased her, then stood up and ran away.
Selena’s mood improved after being interrupted by Chaz.
It was quiet outside the window.
The shadows of the trees fell on the window, which was mottled and messy.
She had not realized how beautiful and quiet it was at night.
Thanks to the sound insulation, the music downstairs hardly disturbed her.
......
A few days passed.
Cindy’s incident escalated into a criminal case and was still under investigation.
With sufficient evidence, Cindy was sentenced to 25 years in jail.
After Larry Yeager heard the news, he knew that the Yeager family’s last hope was gone and went into the ICU ward again.
In less than half a month, Larry passed away.
Cindy’s mother returned from abroad to handle Larry’s funeral.
Back then, she left the country with her huge private stash. However, this account was found by the bank.
Within a few days of her return, her funds in the bank were frozen.
When the bank froze her money, Cindy’s mother did not want to stay any longer in the country and fled abroad without visiting Cindy.
This incident was made public online, which created an uproar. However, it only spread for a day.
That was because this was replaced by another news story after a few days.
CK Corporation’s heiress, Taylor Caldwell, was engaged.
Some time ago, Taylor and Eric’s names were mentioned side by side and went viral.
When Taylor suddenly got engaged, everyone would naturally think of Eric.
However, the statement of CK Corporation mentioned that Taylor’s fiance was another person.
Taylor’s fiance was also from an affluent family, but he was not as influential as Eric.
Everyone’s attention immediately shifted to Taylor and her fiance. The netizens also wished for their marriage to last.
