Noah suddenly interrupted Aida.
Selena paused.
It was a bit difficult to get away with it.
It seemed that she must try this drink.
Aida wanted to say something, but Selena smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll try it.”
The moment the strong and sweet liquid entered her throat, Selena felt as if a hand was strangling her neck. She shook violently, and the deep pain in her heart spread throughout her whole body.
At this moment, her blood seemed to flow backward.
Her face turned pale instantly.
She put down the cocktail glass and looked at Noah with dark and empty eyes.
Her heart was beating violently with unspeakable panic and fear.
Why?
That was because she tasted pollen in the cocktail.
Selena was sensitive to the ingredients in drinks. She ran a bar, so she knew what a drink tasted like with pollen in it.
Back then, when Eric held the banquet after their wedding, they deliberately spread rumors that Selena was allergic to pollen in order to catch the suspect.
However, the suspect did not take the bait at that time.
They thought that the suspect was not among the group they invited.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this man in front of her.
Pollen allergies could lead to suffocation.
Noah really wanted his daughter to die!
Selena’s heart clenched. Even her breathing became a little difficult.
She was not allergic to pollen, but her reaction was stronger and more obvious than any allergic reaction.
Selena’s face flushed red, and her breathing was labored.
Aida immediately noticed that something was wrong and went to support Selena.
“Mrs. Ferguson, what’s the matter? Is something wrong? Is there something wrong with this drink?”
Noah rolled his eyes at Aida.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Your husband and I personally checked the drinks here. How could there be any problems? Maybe it’s because of the alcohol. She’s just not used to it. Get someone to take her to the lounge to rest for a while.”
“But this isn’t normal. Why don’t you call Mr. Ferguson to come over and have a look? Ask someone to call a doctor.”
Aida took out her phone and planned to make a call.
Noah snatched the phone from Aida and threw it on the ground. He stared at Aida fiercely.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Take her to the lounge first and leave her there alone. Why are you making a fuss by calling a doctor? It’s my brother’s birthday. Are you trying to ruin the party?”
Aida looked at Noah in shock.
Usually, Noah could still maintain a superficial politeness.
However, Noah dared to do this. His bad attitude seemed to trigger the release of the demons in his heart.
Some people around them heard the commotion.
Noah was very good at pretending. He turned his head to joke with others and smiled helplessly.
“She had too much to drink. It’s okay. Carry on…”
Aida held Selena’s hand and comforted her patiently.
“It’s okay. I’ll call someone for you.”
Selena just held Aida’s hand. She had already regained her senses and calmed down.
What she was facing was not her father, but a demon.
He was a demon that destroyed her and her mother.
He was a devil who pretended to be human for twenty years and wanted to kill his daughter at her wedding.
If it was not for that cocktail, Selena might never have known who her biological father was.
Was the way Noah looked at Aida and the way he ordered Aida to accompany him to socialize the same way he treated Selena’s biological mother twenty years ago?
Countless sorrows flooded Selena’s heart in an instant.
The heaviness and sadness she felt were about to overwhelm her in an instant.
The words in her mother’s diary drilled into her mind one by one.
