Chapter 2567 She Wants Your Money
“Mr. Ferguson, you can’t listen to her one-sided words. Girls these days are good at sweet-talking people. All she wants is your money. Just now, Ms. Nelson said that even if you kneel down here and propose to her, she won’t agree to marry you. She doesn’t like you. She’s just after your money!”
Lara wished that Eric could sober up.
He also did not care whether her words sounded deliberately provocative.
After Lara said that, the air was dead silent.
Eric’s face also darkened.
Since he was wearing sunglasses, and it was dark outside, no one could see the expression on his face clearly.
The smooth and sharp outline of his face appeared a little rigid, and his body was slightly tense.
Selena was in close proximity to Eric, so she could feel the air around him turn cold. He suddenly clenched her hand tightly.
He squeezed her hand so tight that Selena felt the pain.
The laughter from downstairs sounded. It was completely opposite to the dead silence on the second floor.
Soon, the waiter led Mr. Caldwell and Taylor over.
Taylor wanted to follow her father.
She heard that Ivan had offended Eric, and for some reason, Eric asked Mr. Caldwell to come and apologize.
“Mr. Ferguson, why don’t you go downstairs to mingle? What happened here?”
As soon as Taylor’s father came upstairs, he approached them..com The first thing he saw was Eric and the woman who snuggled up to him. She looked gorgeous and limp as she leaned on him and held his hand.
On the other hand, Ivan stood on the opposite side with a gloomy face, and there was an older woman standing beside him.
This situation made Mr. Caldwell feel a little embarrassed.
Mr. Caldwell did not want his daughter to witness this.
However, it was too late. Taylor saw everything, including Selena and Eric’s interlocked hands.
She also saw Selena looking at Eric with some reproach, as if she was annoyed at him for hurting her.
They had a kind of intimacy that did not allow others to get between them.
It was just like that day at the entrance after the banquet when Eric looked down at Selena with stars in his eyes.
Eric’s eyes were tender and sweet.
That scene deeply impressed Taylor’s heart.
Her parents always had a great relationship.
Even if Taylor’s mother could not give birth, her father did not look for another woman. Instead, her father went to adopt an orphan from the countryside. He even took the orphan for a paternity test to prove that Ivan was not his illegitimate child.
Thus, Taylor’s mother accepted this adopted child with peace of mind.
Taylor had always longed for this kind of feeling.
Thus, she felt that Eric was a suitable husband. He knew how to love his partners and be responsible. He was also very capable. Thus, he was a good candidate.
However, Taylor only saw another woman clinging to Eric without any shyness. It was so awkward for everyone else.
Mr. Caldwell was well-informed and walked forward with a smile.
“Did Ivan offend you, Mr. Ferguson? I’ll apologize to you on his behalf. He’s still young…”
Eric interrupted him impatiently. His voice was deep.
“He’s not young anymore, so he should know how to speak properly. Ivan and Lara teamed up to bully my girlfriend and threatened her. I don’t think I need to repeat them one by one. Chairman Caldwell, you should take your son home and teach him properly. If you don’t teach him properly, don’t bring him out to embarrass yourself. But before that, I hope that you can apologize to my girlfriend on behalf of your son.”
Eric’s words and tone were extremely cold, which penetrated deep into their bones.
His words offended them, but Eric was not afraid of offending others.
Eric did not care even if that person was the chairman of CK Corporation.
Although CK Corporation’s strength should not be underestimated, it could not be compared to Ferguson Corporation. One was a withering flower while the other was still booming.
“Eric, don’t go overboard!”
Taylor took a step forward and spoke angrily.
She specially chose her outfit for today’s party and paid attention to every detail. Her outfit was expensive, exquisite, and flawless.
However, she forgot that Eric was blind, so he would not be able to appreciate her effort.
The lingering gazes from other guests made her feel sick.
Taylor worked so hard for Eric, so how could Eric humiliate her father like that?
Eric did not even look at Taylor. He stood there without changing his expression.
Taylor’s tears were about to overflow as she went to support her father.
“No, Dad. Let’s go back. We don’t need to apologize. I believe in Ivan’s character. He won’t do what they say..com Someone must have deliberately framed Ivan.”
“Taylor…”
Ivan regretted it very much.
He never thought that his impulsiveness could put his father and Taylor in such a situation.
“Dad, let me apologize. It’s okay if Mr. Ferguson wants to blame me. I’m responsible for my own actions!”
The Caldwells were arguing.
Hearing their dispute, Eric did not have the slightest sympathy. Instead, he suddenly turned cold and mocked them.
“Ivan, if your apology was useful, I wouldn’t have asked Chairman Caldwell to come here. You’re not qualified to apologize to my girlfriend.”
There was a coldness in Eric’s words.
Mr. Caldwell froze for a moment. He had a calm expression on his face. After all, he was experienced and knew what Eric meant.
Ivan panicked. “No…”
Mr. Caldwell grabbed Ivan’s arm and glanced at the woman beside Eric.
Selena was indeed beautiful and flawless. Compared with Taylor, she was a bit more wild and reckless. She looked so carefree and easygoing, which was different from Taylor’s grace.
Some people liked women like this.
Mr. Caldwell knew that tonight was a waste of time.
He also knew what the consequences of this apology were.
Mr. Caldwell looked at Selena without changing his expression. His smile was calm and very amiable.
“Ms. Nelson, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach my son well and let him offend you. I’ll go back and teach him a lesson. He won’t upset you in the future.”
Mr. Caldwell even bent over slightly, showing Selena enough respect.
To be precise, he was showing respect to Eric.
Taylor, who was beside her father, burst into tears.
This was simply a shame.
Taylor stepped forward suddenly, grabbed her father’s arm, and looked at Eric stubbornly.
“Are you satisfied now, Mr. Ferguson? Why didn’t I realize that you’re such a shameless and domineering person? From today onward, our family will no longer have any relationship with you. After this cooperation is over, we don’t need to work together anymore. I don’t want to be partners with people like you!”
Taylor held back her tears because she did not want to cry in public.
However, Eric was so brutal.
This was also very painful to endure.
Ivan also stepped forward to support his father. He looked distressed and angry.
However, if his father did not say anything, Ivan did not dare to offend Eric further. Otherwise, Eric would only bully his father even more.
