The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2569

Selena wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was also afraid of hurting Eric’s feelings.

She patted Eric’s hand. “I don’t want to answer.”

The elevator finally arrived, and the doors opened slowly.

The waiter outside had been waiting for a long time and politely led them inside.

“Mr. Ferguson, this way, please. Mr. Charles said he wants to meet you.”

Eric was not surprised.

He drove away the Caldwell family that Charles liked, so Charles must be annoyed right now.

But, so what?

Eric pursed his lips and squeezed Selena’s arm.

“You can go and sit inside first. I’ll be back in a while. We can continue our conversation when we get home.”

Perhaps he should not get to the bottom of it and find out what Selena was thinking.

However, if he did not figure it out, he would always feel that there was a thorn in his heart.

Selena smiled nonchalantly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

She turned and went to the cabin.

There was no one in the huge banquet hall at the moment.

She did not know where everyone went.

However, there were two people sitting and standing at the round table.

The sitting person looked slightly bloated. He also seemed to be physically disabled, but his disability was concealed by his clothes.

He looked clean-cut and proper. Selena could vaguely tell that the man must have been very good-looking when he was young.

Due to his age, he looked steady and gloomy.

Even so, Selena could still see that some of the man’s facial features were similar to Eric’s.

The person standing was the white-bearded old man, Abbott, whom she had met twice.

Abbott calmly whispered something in Charles’s ear.

Charles, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

His eyes were dark-colored but bright, with the usual shrewdness and schemes of a businessman. He looked mysterious, and no one could tell what he was capable of at a glance.

“Ms. Nelson, please sit down.”

Charles’s voice was deep and gruff. The tiredness on his face could hardly be concealed.

Selena pursed her lips and walked over with a bit of determination on her bright face.

“Did you deliberately distract Eric just now? Someone led him away, but you actually wanted to see me, huh?”

“Ms. Nelson, you’re really smart. If I said that I wanted to see you, Eric wouldn’t have agreed. That’s why I have no choice but to invite you like this.”

Charles did not mind her direct question and gave her a definite answer.

Selena sat opposite him. She was neither nervous nor intimidated.

She calmly looked at the man opposite her. He gave her the impression of being cold, lonely, and aged.

Thus, she admired Charles a little.

“Before this, I asked Abbott to ask you for a favor, but you refused. I have always been curious. Why are you and Eric together? It can’t be for love, right? Ms. Nelson, you’re a smart person. You know that Eric only loves Nicole, so how could you entrust yourself to someone like him? I have done a background check on you. Back then, you were willing to kill someone for your freedom. A person like you won’t be infatuated with others, right?”

Selena’s polite smile froze slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
