The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2507 Spread Gossip

Unsurprisingly, there was no one else in the house.

Fortunately, Selena had a change of clothes in Eric's room. When she finished washing up, she went downstairs and found that the servant had just finished cooking. "Ms. Nelson, it's time to eat."

Selena glanced at the food, which was quite bland. It was just right for her current appetite.

"Mr. Ferguson said that it's not safe outside for the time being, so he asked you to rest at home. If you really want to go out, you can get someone to follow you..."

The servant smiled.

Selena thought of the Yeager family.

She twitched her lips. "It's alright. I won't run around. I cherish my life more than him."

Selena was full after having the oatmeal.

However, it was too boring at home.

She took out her phone and wanted to browse the internet.

As a result, Chaz called.

"Boss, you've gone viral! You're done for!"

Selena frowned. "You're done for!"

Chaz spoke incoherently and sounded anxious.

"Boss, someone posted about you and Mr. Ferguson, and now everyone is talking about you. The comments are getting pretty ugly..."

Selena's face changed slightly, and she immediately hung up the phone.

She was inexplicably flustered.

When she opened the news, the headlines were all about Eric and her.

The photo was from that night when Eric came to look for her. Selena was about to leave, but he grabbed her hand.

The photo looked candid, and the background was a little blurry.

However, their faces were clear.

The lighting and shadows of the photo were nice.

Eric sat there. He was big and tall, and his chiseled face was stern and cold. His eyes were indifferent.

His big hand grasped Selena's delicate wrist, which was a sharp contrast.

Selena tilted her head slightly, showing her exquisite side profile and her slender neck. Her beautiful face left a strong impression on people.

This photo of Selena was even more dreamy than the previous short film in which Selena became popular.

There were all kinds of comments on that post.

[OMG! They clearly have a thing between them!]

[How could these two people end up together?]

[Mr. Ferguson looks like he's going to eat her!]

[I thought Mr. Ferguson was in love with our Goddess Nicole, but now he's looking for another woman! Men are vile creatures!]

[Mr. Ferguson's little lover... The two of them must've been hooking up for a long time. Sometimes, you can see them flirting with their eyes when you go to the bar.]

[She's Mr. Ferguson's woman? If she wants to make a debut, she can just say it. Why hide it? She can just be the female lead!]

[Rich men like to bed actresses. They're all the same. This actress hasn't even debuted yet. I liked her at first, but I guess she's just the same as the other actresses.] [She works in a bar. How innocent can she be?]

[Turns out she's an escort too. I guess she only became popular some time ago because of her sugar daddy, huh?]

[The bar is closed now. Is she guilty?]

The public opinion was mixed.

Everyone suspected that Eric and Selena had an indecent relationship. They thought that she was an escort that sold her body in exchange for glory. Chaz messaged Selena.

[Luckily, we closed the bar for renovation. Otherwise, these people would've flooded in here to curse at you. Now, they all suspect that your relationship with Mr. Ferguson is improper. How strange! You're both single, so why can't you be together?]

[Forget it. Don't come back for the time being. Don't show up here. Get Mr. Ferguson to remove the headlines! He must have a way to do it.]

Selena turned off her phone. Her expression was a little glum.

She glanced at the timestamp. This hot topic was posted at 7:50 am. It was almost 11:00 am at this moment.

The gossip online was spreading, but no one cared to do anything about it.

In other words, Eric could have removed it a long time ago, but he did not.

Selena felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart, which felt like it was strangled by a thin thread. It hurt so much.

How would they define their relationship?

In the eyes of outsiders, they were not well-matched or suitable for each other.

He was out of her league.

She was just a cheap mistress that Eric kept on the side.

That was because Eric's wife must have a good education and come from a well-matched family.

Selena had neither of those.

What was the difference between Selena and those D-list models who were part-time escorts?

If it was not for vanity, why would Selena be with Eric?

Thus, Selena was constantly alert and rational.

When those people criticized her, she did not even have the strength to explain.

Eric just pushed her out and let her face it by herself.

Selena told him that she did not want to rely on him, so she would be contradicting herself if she turned to beg him now.

She felt flustered and uneasy.

It was not because of a guilty conscience, but because her situation was difficult to explain.

Selena suddenly understood why some people who went viral online would commit suicide.

That was because no matter how they explained themselves, the public would only believe what they wanted to.

She felt like she was struck by lightning, and there was nowhere to hide.

Selena did not want to be favored. She did not even hope to be in a normal relationship.

But was it so difficult for Eric to protect her?

Selena took a deep breath.

She was helpless.

Selena stared at Eric's number on her phone and hesitated for a long time, but she did not call him.

A few minutes later, her phone rang.

It was not Eric.

Selena picked up the call and pretended to be calm. "Hello?"

"Ms. Nelson, it's me, Julie Nixon."

"Hello, Ms. Nixon."

Julie paused.

"I'm on the set, and I just saw what happened online. It just so happens that Nicole is with me. The short clip that was released before might have been over-marketed, so everyone pays special attention to you. It's our fault for not being thoughtful about this. I discussed it with Nicole. We contacted some people to remove the headlines and published a statement to explain that you were just a guest star. If you're wary, we can cut out your clip. In fact, this kind of gossip isn't difficult to explain. After we post the statement, you can repost it and write a few words saying that it's your personal affairs."

Julie turned to look at Nicole, who nodded accordingly.

Selena was silent for a few seconds. Her eyes suddenly blurred.

She only had a few meals with Julie and Nicole, yet at this time, Julie and Nicole were the first to call her to offer their help.

For a while, Selena had mixed feelings.

Perhaps the person who really wanted to help Selena was Nicole.

However, since the man involved in the hot topic was Eric, Nicole could not come forward by herself. So, Nicole asked Julie to get in touch with Selena.

Selena understood their kindness, but she did not know what to say.

She took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Ms. Nixon. Please help me thank Ms. Stanton as well. If the clip is necessary to the show, you don't need to cut the clip. If it affects you, then you can deal with it as you like. It would be great if you could withdraw the hot topic for me. I'll also attach my statement when I repost your statement."

Julie let out a sigh of relief.

"Sure, Ms. Nelson. Don't worry about this. It's not a big deal. You attracted so much attention because you're just too beautiful!”

Selena laughed and felt a warm sensation in her heart.

"Thanks."
