Chapter 2401
Chapter 2401 Fond of Him
“You sl*t! You keep trying to kill Derek! What did he ever do to you? Back then, he made the wrong decision to marry you! You b* tch! He fed and clothed you, but your blood-sucking family just wants to harm him…”
A middle-aged woman yelled at Selena.
“She’s Derek Norton’s mother,” Mitchell said from the side.
Eric paused and did not want to go in.
The next second, a voice that was louder than Flora’s suddenly resounded.
“F*ck you and your family! Your family is lucky that Derek married me.Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to marry a decent person like me! I didn’t take anything from you, so don’t take the credit.You’re all rats that came out of the gutter, doing underhanded deals, yet you dare to scold me? Are you so stupid to give the Nelson family money when they asked for it? Bah! I didn’t ask for anything from your family, and I didn’t spend a penny of your money.There’s no way I’ll admit to Derek supporting me.Derek Norton is a son of a b*tch, and he deserves to die! I really wish he’d die tonight.Just as well, you can start planning his funeral or maybe just die with him.At least you can accompany your precious son in hell!”
Selena yelled at Flora because she had been drinking and did not have a care in the world.She did not care about anything anymore.
Selena could not put up with Derek Norton, let alone his mother! The situation in the room was out of control for a moment.
The police outside dared not go in because anyone who advised them to stop would get scolded as well.Selena and Flora had a deep grudge against each other.
One refused to admit her fault, while the other was the victim’s family.
What could the police officers do? The police officers rushed to meet Eric when they saw him standing there, tall and upright.
“Mr.Ferguson, you…”
Eric’s face was stiff and dark.He pursed his lips.
“The lawyer will be here soon.Let’s see what the lawyer says.We won’t do anything that violates the regulations.”
Selena scolding that woman reminded Eric of the time Selena scolded him.
Eric was annoyed.He did not want to see Selena now because he might get implicated.
Eric could not talk back to her here.
Eric glanced at Mitchell.
“You can wait here.I’ll go out and make a call.”
Mitchell nodded dumbfoundedly.
Flora was overwhelmed by Selena.She had never lost an argument before, but she could not seem to get the upper hand in this yelling match with her ex-daughter- in- law! Thus, Flora opened the door and slammed it.
“Just wait for a life sentence!”
Flora did not forget to leave some harsh words.She wanted to teach Selena a lesson.
The door opened again.
Selena saw Mitchell this time.
“Mr.Crawford?”
Mitchell walked to the door with a smile.
“How are you? Don’t worry.The lawyer will be here soon!”
“I don’t even have the nerve to bother you, Mr.Crawford.You’ve helped me so many times.I’m really sorry to disturb you.”
“It’s nothing.You helped me last time and got driven away.I still feel bad for that.”
Mitchell was talking about the time Cindy humiliated Selena.
Selena could ignore it, but Mitchell could not pretend that nothing happened.
Needless to say, Mitchell knew how harsh Cindy could be.
Selena smiled and took a deep breath.
“You’re really different from that b*stard Eric.It must be hard for you to stay by his side.Mr.Crawford, if I’ve never been married, I would’ve definitely pursued you.But I’m a divorcee, and my life is a mess, so I can’t bear to drag you down.We’re just not fated to be together…”
Selena sighed sadly.
She only found out how much Mitchell took care of her after the divorce.
Mitchell was such a nice man.
If she was still pure and innocent, she would definitely chase after him.
However, due to her situation, she did not want to drag another man down, especially such a good man like Mitchell! Even though she said so, she did not have any romantic feelings for Mitchell.
Otherwise, she would not have said it so openly.
Mitchell could not help but laugh.
“Ms.Nelson, you’re too polite.A divorce is a kind of rebirth.It’s a pity that I have a girlfriend.”
Selena looked at him and smiled.
“That’s okay.I’ll just find another man who’s like you.”
Just as Mitchell was about to say something, he suddenly heard a heavy cough from behind.
Mitchell’s body froze instantly.
Eric did not leave.
Mitchell immediately changed his tune.
“Actually, Mr.Ferguson instructed me to help you.I’m just running an errand for him.Mr.Ferguson specially hired a lawyer for you.He even took time off his busy schedule to discuss your matter with his police friends.Mr.Ferguson might sound harsh at times, but he’s actually soft- hearted.He actually regretted it the last time he criticized you.He’s a really loyal friend…”
Selena suddenly sneered.
Mitchell was completely speechless.
Selena was sitting inside the room, so she could not see Eric.
There was no hint of gratitude on her bright and delicate face.
Instead, she looked somewhat cold and indifferent.
“I’ll be thankful if he doesn’t make things worse for me.How can he be so kind? Who are you kidding? I’d rather believe that Derek will let me off the hook than believe that Eric has a kind heart!”
Mitchell was speechless.
The man behind him let out a cold snort, turned around, and left.
His back was cold as he stood there looking tall and stern.
Eric had such a strong presence that it was hard to ignore.
Mitchell cried out inwardly and glanced at Selena helplessly.
“Mr.Ferguson was right outside just now.Ms.Nelson, you wrongly accused him this time!”
Selena was speechless.
Flora was drinking water outside when she heard the police talking to Eric’s lawyer.
They sounded like they were going to protect Selena.
Eric was beside the car when Flora hurriedly chased after him.
“Do you know Selena Nelson?”
Eric looked back at her.His eyes were cold, and his eyebrows were sharp.He ignored her and got into the car directly.
Flora thought Eric was going to run, so she ran to the side of the car and knocked on the car window.
“Get out of the car! I know who you are! You’re with that b*tch! Is she your mistress?! Have you two hooked up for a long time? How could you be so immoral? Did you instigate her to hurt my son?”
The driver in front was slightly startled and subconsciously looked back at Eric.
Eric frowned and seemed to be holding back his anger.
Flora was simply unreasonable.
The driver saw Eric’s face, got out of the car immediately, and pulled Flora away.
“What are you doing? Do you know who is sitting in the car? Get lost now!”
Flora knew that the man must be rich and powerful when she saw his car.
“I’m looking for him! He must be that b*tch’s lover! He conspired with that b*tch to kill my son! My son is still in the emergency room, but they’re not even locked up! He wants to bribe the police to exonerate that b*tch! I won’t let him get away with it, and I’ll let everyone know about it!”
