The reflection of the lights was like stars from the Milky Way. The chandeliers were extremely exquisite and elegant.
It was stunning.
As soon as Eric showed up, many people came to greet him.
Everyone noticed the way Selena and Eric held hands, but they just smiled meaningfully and did not say anything.
“Mr. Ferguson, I heard that you got into an accident some time ago. I’ve been wanting to visit you, but I didn’t get the chance to. I’m glad to see you standing here now!”
“Yeah! I heard that a scheming woman deliberately hit you on the golf course. If you ask me, that woman should be taught a lesson. She really would do anything to attract a man’s attention!”
“That’s right! Mr. Ferguson, don’t be soft-hearted just because she’s a woman!”
“Mr. Ferguson is never merciful!”
......
Everyone chimed in.
Selena was a little stiff when she stood aside.
It seemed that everyone did not know she was the scheming woman they were talking about.
She was secretly stunned. This group of men were quite good at making up stories.
However, she would not admit it foolishly.
Eric said a few words and brushed over this topic by shifting the conversation to business.
Selena led Eric to the round table beside them. The other big shots sat down as well and looked as if they were going to talk about business.
Thus, Selena knew that she could go out temporarily to take a breather.
Eric tilted his head slightly and pulled Selena’s hand.
“Go eat something, or go to the deck for some fresh air. Remember to come back later.”
Selena nodded.
No one knew Selena’s importance in Eric’s heart, so they dared not tease her.
As soon as Selena left, some people could not hold back their curiosity.
“Mr. Ferguson, when did you get a girlfriend? I thought she was a celebrity in showbiz, but I couldn’t recognize her. I just can’t remember!”
“Yeah, Mr. Ferguson. Do you intend to support her career?”
All of them were big shots in the industry.
At this time, they were more curious about the woman beside Eric than the paparazzi were.
Eric was getting annoyed.
However, Eric was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see his emotion. His tone was also indifferent.
“My girlfriend is not from the entertainment industry.”
Everyone there was tactful.
Since they knew Selena was not from the entertainment industry, they would not mess with her.
They quickly changed the subject.
After a while, a group of people walked over with a gentle, beautiful, and outstanding woman in the center.
Someone got up from their chair.
“Ms. Caldwell, you’re here…”
Eric sat there motionless and did not even raise his eyelids.
Soon, Taylor went over and greeted everyone nicely.
Standing next to her was an old man with a white beard and white hair — Abbott.
Abbott was able to cope with such a situation with ease.
“Everyone, welcome to our dinner party. Due to physical reasons, Mr. Charles is unable to show up for the time being. Please make yourselves at home. Mr. Charles will come out when the time is right.”
Everyone was respectful and feared Eric because of his style of handling things.
However, the host of this banquet was Charles Ferguson, which brought on a different meaning.
Everyone knew that Charles returned to Mediania suddenly and held a trump card in his hand. However, Charles did not give the trump card to Eric. Instead, he gathered everyone here, which indicated that everyone had a chance.
Abbott politely pulled out the chair for Taylor.
