Eric stepped forward unfazed, took Selena’s hand, and walked toward the door.
Under the camera flashes, Eric stood there, looking upright and stern. His handsome facial features permeated an indifferent chill.
Eric exuded a strong and intimidating vibe standing there.
When everyone saw this, they did not dare to offend him like how they bombarded Selena just now even though they were curious.
Lara’s expression also changed slightly because she was a little shocked that Eric dared to hold Selena’s hand so openly.
This was an acknowledgment of the illicit relationship between Eric and Selena.
How could Eric actually marry a divorcee with no money, power, or background?
Even if Eric was playing with Selena, he could not admit it in public.
Lara clenched her fists slightly and suddenly panicked for a moment.
She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Lara paused, struggling to speak.
“Mr. Ferguson, I hope you can have mercy on me. Ms. Nelson and I just had a misunderstanding…”
Eric glanced at Lara indifferently and chuckled lightly.
Then, he glanced at the others. His voice was cold.
“It’s not a misunderstanding. I blacklisted you on purpose, Lara. From today onward, you won’t have a future in the entertainment industry.”
Eric spoke word by word with a cold tone, which hit her like a boulder.
Lara felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.
Her face turned pale in an instant.
She was on the brink of collapse.
Hearing these words coming from Eric was different from having someone else say this to her.
Lara was able to come here because a few of her films were waiting to be broadcast, and the investors did not want their money to be wasted.
Thus, they wanted her to figure out a way to get Eric’s forgiveness.
Lara knew that Eric would not forgive her. Otherwise, Mr. Griffin’s pleas would have worked.
That was why Lara came up with this method.
What was Eric afraid of? The only thing that could overthrow a capitalist like Eric was public opinion.
However, she forgot that capitalists could also control public opinion.
Lara’s shoulders trembled slightly.
Even if they were on a live broadcast and facing tens of thousands of netizens, Eric did not try to be tactful, nor did he hesitate.
The media could not stand it. “Mr. Ferguson, you’re too overbearing. Do you admit that you blacklisted Lara because of Ms. Nelson? What is your relationship with Ms. Nelson?”
Someone who was not afraid of death finally asked.
The lobby instantly felt cold.
They thought that Eric would not answer and that their careers might have come to an end.
However, Eric’s cold expression looked a little torn. His eyes were indifferent as he chuckled lightly and squeezed the hand of the woman next to him.
It was warm but powerful.
“This is our private matter. There is no need for us to explain to any of you, and you have no right to crowd around here. Lara was unlucky to bully a newcomer who just happened to be my fiancée. She has no choice but to admit her bad luck. Otherwise, no one would dare to stand up to Lara for bullying them. I think she deserved it.”
In just a few words, the expressions of the people present changed drastically.
Selena turned her head to look at Eric in shock.
Eric chuckled indifferently with a bit of arrogance and recklessness.
