Chapter 2538 Why Don’t You Look?
Selena looked at Eric’s smiling face. His eyes were still stern and indifferent. He seemed so aloof and
unapproachable, as if she would never attain his heart.
Eric’s words seemed gentle like he did not me her, but it felt as if he had pped her hard in the
face.
Her face felt hot, and she felt like her darkest secret was exposed.
Selena was stunned for a few seconds. She stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, calmed down,
and looked back at him.
She said in a clear and cold tone, “You don’t need to put it so nicely. You’re just trying to say that I
overstepped my bounds, right? I have already apologized and promised not to do it again. Why do you
still want to insult me?”
Eric’s expression turned glum. His eyes also dimmed slightly.
“I didn’t mean to insult you. I was just talking to you. Don’t overthink it.”
“Any normal person would misunderstand the way you put it. Eric, I did read your message, but so
what? Are you saying there’s some kind of confidential work in your conversation? If so, why did you
show it to me just now? If not, why can’t I read it? I know we can’t get married, but don’t I have the
normal rights of a girlfriend? Or is your girlfriend now Ms. Caldwell, but I’m somehow unaware of it?”
Selena took a deep breath. She finallyshed out all her pent-up frustration.
She was not one to endure grievances.
If they were happy, they could stay together. If not, they would break up.
Having such a messy rtionship would just make her unhappy.
There was a dead silence in the room for a moment.
Eric’s forbearing expression became calm and cold.
He stared at her with an indistinct emotion. However, his lips were tightly pursed, which showed his
current mood.
He was silent and cold.
Eric watched Selena vent. Then, he sat up, raised his chin slightly, and met her gaze.
“I’ve already exined why we can’t get married and what happened with Taylor. Why do you still want
to bring up the past? Are you not satisfied with my exnation? If so, why didn’t you bring it up at that
time? Instead, you’re trying to settle ounts now? I don’t understand, Selena. You’re obviously not
such a suspicious and calcting person. Why did you be like this? The information on my phone
is confidential. Even Mitchell isn’t privy to that information. Why are you threatening me with our
rtionship? Why do you need evidence of my loyalty to you? I always thought that we can trust each
other and that we don’t need to use this way to prove each other’s sincerity.”
When Eric was talking, he tried his best to calm himself andmunicated his thoughts rationally.

He would never blindly tolerate a woman hurting his career.
Selena could do nothing or have her own hobbies, but that was only if she did not harm the interests of
Ferguson Corporation.
Otherwise, the nature of their rtionship would change.
Sooner orter, Eric would have to say these words to Selena. Since she mentioned it now, Eric
thought to just exin it clearly.
Both of them fell silent.
There was dead silence, and the room felt icy.
They were estranged from each other.
Selena suddenly sneered and broke the silence.
She took a deep breath. The stuffiness in her chest dissipated. She nced at Eric lightly and said,
“Am I suspicious and calcting? If you have such a clear conscience, why did you exin to me
about your rtionship with Ms. Caldwell? Why were you afraid that I’ll read your messages? You’re
obviously guilty of something, Eric. Stop unting how infatuated and loyal you are to me! These two
adjectives have nothing to do with you!”
“Selena, that’s enough!”
Eric suddenly stood up. His face became extremely gloomy.
“How big of a fuss do you want to kick up? Can’t I justmunicate with a normal person? Selena,
since when did you be like this? How else can I exin for you to believe me?”
Selena suddenly choked. Her chest felt tight and painful.
Eric already made his judgment about her, so how could she refute?
Was it just because she was caught looking at his phone?
Selena thought it was ridiculous andughed out loud.
“Don’t you know what I’m like? I’m always like this. If you don’t want to see me, you can leave. I won’t
change myself for anyone. I’m a great person. You’re the one with the problem, Eric. Since you refused
to marry me, I’ve already given up on the idea. You epted the rumors saying that you married
Taylor. Even if you’ve exined it to me, it doesn’t mean that you’re innocent. That’s because in your
heart, you think that only someone like Taylor is worthy of you. I’m a nobody to you, so if news of us
dating got out, it’ll only lower Ferguson Corporation’s stock price. Am I right?”
Selena said it in one go and spoke every word clearly.
Eric felt like a nail had pierced into his heart.
His face was livid and pale, and he red at her.
Selena did not give him a chance to refute and said her inner thoughts.
Selena’s face was indifferent and bright. Her eyes were ferocious.
However, she was calm and extremely cold.
Two emotions seemed to tear her apart.
She tasted the sweetness of love, but she also experienced the bitterness.
Why should she endure this kind of suffering alone?
Nobody ever told him this, right?
Seeing Eric’s shocked and stiff expression, Selena felt a surge of excitement.
Instead, Nicole won the battle.
Thus, this was not a morous win for Selena.
