Chapter 2428
Chapter 2428 Wait for You to Start the Party
Eric proposed to redo Chance’s birthday party.
Chance was elated when he heard this.
The venue of the party was a large villa that Eric owned.
Eric asked Chance to invite his friends and classmates. It did not matter how many people he invited.
The first person Chance invited was Levi, and the second was Selena.
The other invitations were sent out by Mitchell.
The next day, Selena thought that she would wait for Eric’s message.
Thus, she got up early in the morning to tidy up her things, did a stock count of the drinks in the warehouse, and tallied the accounts.
She found that this month’s profit doubled that of last month’s. She also thought that she was a talented businesswoman.
If she kept this up, she would soon be able to open another branch.
At noon, Selena looked at her phone and went for a meal with her colleagues.
She enjoyed this normal life. Her hellish old life was finally over.
At 3:30 pm, Eric called.
Selena picked it up.
Eric instantly questioned her.
“Why aren’t you here yet? Everyone has arrived. You’re the only one who’s late! Do you think you’re such a big shot that we should all wait for you to start the party?”
Selena froze.
“But you didn’t tell me where the party was…”
Eric was silent for a while.
In the end, he said in a harsh tone, “Then don’t you know how to ask?”
Selena took a deep breath. ‘F*ck him! I’m not going! He’s such an arrogant b*stard!’
She gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t, because I don’t want to talk to you!”
Selena hung up the phone. She always acted faster than she could think.
Eric’s face turned dark with anger. Selena made up her mind not to go. Anyway, she was merely a guest and not an important one at that.
Why did Eric say that they were waiting for her to start the party? Eric probably said this to fool her in order to make her feel guilty.
Selena would be a fool to believe it!
Eric’s face was glum. He turned off his phone and looked at
Mitchell, who was walking toward him.
“Go to the bar and pick up Selena.”
Mitchell paused. “Ms. Nelson has a car…”
“She doesn’t know the address. That idiot doesn’t even know how to open her mouth and ask!”
Eric cursed and went to the front hall.
Mitchell was speechless as he thought, ‘I think Eric just didn’t make it clear when he invited Selena…’
Eric never had to invite anyone to a party before, so it was not surprising that he would make mistakes.
Mitchell sighed, did not say anything, took his car keys, and went to pick Selena up.
As soon as Eric entered the hall, many people gathered around him.
This party was different from the last time.
Although the pretext was to celebrate Chance’s birthday last time, the people invited were upper-class people with eligible daughters.
There were also some business partners.
To put it bluntly, it was a blind date for Eric.
This time, they invited business partners with young children.
Chance’s classmates were also invited.
Although they did not deliberately invite eligible women who matched Eric, those women still showed up happily.
As long as Eric gave them a chance, countless women would rush at that opportunity.
After all, being Eric’s wife was an attractive position.
Everyone could not guess the purpose of Chance’s birthday party and thought that Eric wanted to choose someone again this time since he missed the chance.
Thus, everyone thought that this was a good opportunity. Eric’s friends also attended.
Colton and the others brought their female companions.
However, Keith did not bring a female companion. Instead, he brought a five or six-year-old girl with him.
The little girl was cute. When she smiled, her canine teeth were obvious. She was also wearing big brand name children’s clothes.
Keith loved her very much. He walked up to Eric with a smile and showed off his daughter.
“This is my daughter, Melody. Isn’t she pretty?”
“Hello, Uncle.”
Melody called out to Eric in a soft voice.
Eric frowned slightly, then nodded.
“Fortunately, she looks like her mother.”
Keith clicked his tongue. “Of course!”
Eric laughed. “You were so reluctant to bring her out before. Why are you willing to bring her out now?”
Keith sighed. “She was sick before. Livia was taking care of her at home every day. I was also tormented. Now that she’s better, I want to take her out more often. It’s so boring to stay at home all the time!”
Eric nodded. He heard about it before, but it was not a serious illness, so Eric did not visit Keith. He only asked Mitchell to send over some gifts.
Eric could not help but laugh when he saw how Keith doted on his daughter.
“Why didn’t you bring Livia along? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll get bored?”
Keith glanced at him, put his daughter on the ground, and said with a smile, “Melody, go play by yourself. Don’t wander too far…”
Melody nodded happily and disappeared in a flash. Keith said seriously, “It’s not that you don’t know what happened before. Livia doesn’t want to see anyone from your family. Stop mentioning her in public…”
Eric raised his eyebrows. He remembered seeing Nathaniel picking up women in the bar and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Some people were still hung up on the past, while some people were quick to forget.
Keith glanced around and saw that the children were circling Chance. Some people were taking care of them.
Levi really stood out in the crowd. He had the same facial features as Grant. He was flawless, calm, and steady at a young age. However, his smile was innocent and harmless.
Keith clicked his tongue. “Why didn’t Nicole’s little princess come? I wanted my daughter to make friends with her!”
Eric rolled his eyes at Keith and pursed his lips.
“Clayton treats her like treasure and refuses to let her come because he’s afraid that something will happen to her.”
However, Clayton was generous in picking out a gift. It was almost the same value as the necklace that Eric gave Nicole last time.
Clayton gave Chance an antique vase that was just as valuable as that necklace.
Was this intentional?
Clayton was such a fussy fox!
Keith laughed. “Right… She almost drowned the last time. If this happened to my daughter, I wouldn’t let her come either.”
Eric glanced at him coldly, and Keith instantly shut up.
Soon after, Jayla came in an extravagant dress. She looked at Eric nervously.
“Mr. Ferguson, according to your request, I’ve asked my company’s employees to come and help out.”
Eric nodded. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. This little favor is nothing. Let me know if you need anything.”
Jayla stood there excitedly.
In the past few days, Eric had indeed let go of the Jennings family.
Finally, the Jennings family could take a breather.
The Jenningses did not know what they did wrong. They were just apprehensive.
A few days ago, Jayla received the news that Chance was throwing another birthday party.
Thus, Jayla went to Ferguson Corporation and waited for several days before she managed to catch Eric.
Eric did not find trouble with her. He only mentioned that he lacked a few helpers for the party, so it would be great if Jayla could transfer a few employees to help out.
When Jayla heard this, she immediately agreed to the matter. She did not think too much about why Eric did this. Since they were already in a precarious situation, Jayla did not have room to think about it.
