The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2540 She’s Engaged

Chaz asked, "Boss, what happened? It's almost 10:00 pm, but you didn't come downstairs, so I thought you left with Mr. Ferguson." Selena's expression was calm. She did not even shed a single tear.

It seemed like nothing had happened. However, her dispirited look as she sat there made Chaz wonder what was wrong.

She paused and slowly moved her gaze to look at Chaz.

"We broke up."

Chaz was silent for a moment before he smiled.

"It's okay. That's good! I support you."

"You do? Didn't you always want me to be with him?"

Chaz raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"That's on the premise that you like each other. I just wanted you to get out of your previous marriage. But from the looks of those overwhelming comments about Eric and that woman online, he didn't care to avoid suspicion at all. It shows that he allowed this rumor to spread. Since that's the case, there's nothing to say. I have a problem with him allowing this kind of rumor to hurt you. What else can you do but break up with him?"

Selena's eyes flickered slightly. She suddenly smiled.

"Chaz, you really sound like a relationship expert. So many women will fall for you if you actually like women."

Chaz looked at her seriously.

"There are no ifs. I've always been clear about my sexual orientation, and I'm loyal to my partner."

Selena nodded and stood up.

"Come on. Let's go down and help."

Chaz pressed her shoulder and sighed.

"Forget it. I'll give you a day off today, so you can rest up here. I'll handle downstairs."

"You're so nice?"

"I'm different from you, Boss. I'm a capitalist with a conscience!"

Chaz teased her, then stood up and ran away.

Selena's mood improved after being interrupted by Chaz.

It was quiet outside the window.

The shadows of the trees fell on the window, which was mottled and messy.

She had not realized how beautiful and quiet it was at night.

Thanks to the sound insulation, the music downstairs hardly disturbed her.

A few days passed.

Cindy's incident escalated into a criminal case and was still under investigation.

With sufficient evidence, Cindy was sentenced to 25 years in jail.

After Larry Yeager heard the news, he knew that the Yeager family's last hope was gone and went into the ICU ward again.

In less than half a month, Larry passed away.

Cindy's mother returned from abroad to handle Larry's funeral.

Back then, she left the country with her huge private stash. However, this account was found by the bank.

Within a few days of her return, her funds in the bank were frozen.

When the bank froze her money, Cindy's mother did not want to stay any longer in the country and fled abroad without visiting Cindy.

This incident was made public online, which created an uproar. However, it only spread for a day.

That was because this was replaced by another news story after a few days.

CK Corporation's heiress, Taylor Caldwell, was engaged.

Some time ago, Taylor and Eric's names were mentioned side by side and went viral.

When Taylor suddenly got engaged, everyone would naturally think of Eric.

However, the statement of CK Corporation mentioned that Taylor's fiance was another person.

Taylor's fiance was also from an affluent family, but he was not as influential as Eric.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Taylor and her fiance. The netizens also wished for their marriage to last.

Everyone gradually forgot Eric's existence.

Selena was not arrogant to think that Eric and Taylor did not get engaged because of her.

At most, it was because Taylor and Eric did not agree on the terms, which affected Eric's interests.

Eric would only compromise for his interests.

As usual, Selena stayed in the bar and went to work. She occasionally took her staff out for team building.

It seemed like she had completely gotten over that relationship.

Indeed, Selena no longer had to worry about losing Eric or think about whether her feelings were reciprocated. She also did not have to think about who was the best match for her boyfriend.

She felt clean and refreshed.

Eric had never contacted her, but Selena was not aware because she had blocked all forms of communication with him.

They had already come to this point. If Eric could forget about what happened, then he was not his usual self.

Eric had probably warned Chance too because Chance never dared to contact Selena.

Fair enough.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric working overtime became the norm again.

The employees of Ferguson Corporation did not know what happened from that day on. They discovered that Eric, who had gotten off work on time, suddenly started his devilish routine from before. The lights in the office were always lit. Everyone gradually entered that tense state again.

Even Mitchell felt something was wrong.

Ever since Mitchell sent Eric to the bar that day, Eric could not be reached until he went to work the next day.

It seemed that nothing changed, but Mitchell keenly noticed that something was wrong.

Eric became quieter and more fierce. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was dumped by Nicole.

Seeing that Eric did not get off work on time and never looked at his phone all day, Mitchell realized that there must be a big problem between Eric and Selena.

Mitchell dared not ask such a loaded question.

If Mitchell could not solve the problem for Eric, he would be accused of being nosy.

Thus, he chose to keep silent.

Taylor from CK Corporation came to the office and talked to Eric for 15 minutes before she left.

Mitchell did not know what they talked about, but he could vaguely sense that it was not all business.

That was because Eric would not avoid him if it was solely business.

When Taylor left, she still looked gentle and elegant. There was no hint of disappointment or anger in her eyes, and she looked as calm as usual.

In the next few days, news of her engagement to another rich man spread.

Eric remained indifferent to this.

It was early July.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Mitchell never mentioned Selena in front of Eric like it was taboo.

On the same day, several female secretaries of the Ferguson Corporation Secretariat asked Mitchell for a day off and chatted happily.

They said that they were going on a date.

Naturally, Mitchell was not ignorant of this and was just about to agree when Eric came from the pantry just in time to hear their conversation.

Eric paused. Mitchell's eyes flashed, and he spoke seriously.

"No, your time off is not approved. Making money is more important than going on dates! Our president is doing everything possible for the long-term development of the company, yet you girls only think about going out on a date? You should be more ambitious!"

When the girls heard Mitchell, they raised their eyebrows angrily.

Just as they were about to refute, Mitchell turned to Eric and said with a smile, "Isn't that right, Mr. Ferguson? We shouldn't let them go. The most important thing is to work hard for yourselves."

When the girls heard it, they immediately understood and looked at Eric carefully.

"Mr. Ferguson, I'm going to get married soon. I've pushed back several dates. If I don't go this time, my boyfriend will get mad. What if he doesn't want to marry me then?"

Eric pursed his lips calmly.

"Go ahead."
