The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Chapter 2605 Aggressive

“You did. I guessed it right, huh? You wished that Selena was really my father’s illegitimate daughter so that you would have a target to vent your anger instead of looking aimlessly for someone. You can also take this opportunity to blackmail our family and invade Stanton Corporation by using Selena as an excuse. Am I right?”

Nicole sneered, and that contemptuous gaze on her gorgeous face stung Eric.

His heart throbbed involuntarily. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He could not control it.

This was not Eric’s intention. He just wanted to find out the facts.

However, he could not utter a word of explanation.

Kai said coldly, “Nicole, why are you still talking nonsense to him? Now that you’ve figured it out, just kick him out. Must we respond to anyone who accuses us?”

There was a bit of chill on Eric’s face.

“Chairman Stanton, since you’re confident that Selena isn’t your daughter, why not take a paternity test with her? If the result is as you said, I will stop my investigation and offer you a generous gift of apology.”

Floyd’s face was gloomy as he took a deep look at Eric.

“I won’t do as you say, but I can also tell you that your wife has no relations to me. I have only fathered four children in my life, no others. You can believe what you will, Mr. Ferguson.”

Eric frowned and wanted to say something, but Selena tugged at his sleeve and said softly, “Forget it, we’re too presumptuous. Let’s think of other ways.”

Eric’s eyes were cold. He hesitated to speak.

“But…”

Nicole yelled in a cold voice, “Get out! You’re not welcome here, Eric. Don’t be so self-righteous. If you’re so capable, you can show some evidence or send your bodyguards to try something again. Let’s see which is faster, your father getting into an accident or your bodyguard taking a DNA sample.”

Eric’s eyes darkened, and he looked at her without speaking.

Even Kai was surprised by Nicole’s blatant threat.

Grant was very calm because he knew that Eric crossed Nicole’s bottom line, which was her family.

Eric dared to touch her family, so she would go all out to fight him.

Selena’s face turned pale in shock. “Nicole, I’m sorry. This matter…”

“Selena, I regard you as a friend. But to me, family comes first. I’m sorry. If I must choose between two sides of the conflict, I will definitely stand on my family’s side. You don’t have to apologize because I won’t accept it. That’s because my father was hurt in this incident. I know that you’re also a victim, but it’s not our place to understand your situation, nor can this be a reason to hurt us. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible. But my family will not cooperate with you.”

Nicole glanced at Mr. Anderson.

“Please send off the guests.”

The butler understood and stepped forward.

“Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, this way please.”

Eric took a deep breath, turned around, and left.

Selena followed.

She walked out in a daze. Judging by the Stanton family’s attitude, Selena seemed to feel that their investigation was going in the wrong direction.

Floyd could cooperate and do the paternity test, but he refused because it would be an insult to the Stanton family.

Nicole’s determination and indifference made Selena feel disheartened. However, Selena also felt guilty for indirectly hurting Nicole.

The Stanton family did not accept the gift that Eric brought.

After the couple got into the car, they were silent.

Selena looked at Eric to the side.

“Aren’t you upset that Nicole misunderstood you like that?”

Eric frowned slightly, then he squeezed her hand. His throat moved slightly.

“Selena, I…”

“You don’t need to explain. I understand that you did this for me, and I won’t be jealous.”

Selena took a deep breath and smiled. “I just feel bad for offending Nicole.”

She knew that Nicole’s words made Eric very sad.

It was all because of her.

Selena would not blame Eric for his reaction either.

No one was wrong.

Eric lowered his dark eyes.

“She will understand us when the truth is revealed.”

“I hope so!”

Selena smiled, but she knew that she and Nicole could never go back to how they were in the past.

Nicole was even more decisive and distinctive than Selena.

Selena felt that she was really far behind Nicole.

If she was in Nicole’s shoes, she would not have been so calm and rational.

At the Stanton Mansion, both Nicole and Kai looked at Floyd.

Floyd had goosebumps from their stares.

“Are you guys doubting me?! Little b*stards!”

Kai paused. “Well, it may be true. Did you make any mistakes?”

Floyd became even more furious. He stood up angrily and wanted to throw an antique teacup in front of him at Kai, the ingrate.

“Bullsh*t! I swear that I have never wronged your mother. If I made a mistake, how could you guys grow up in peace? You guys would have been tortured by your stepmother a long time ago! Did you think I didn’t remarry because of you kids? I didn’t remarry because I still love your mother. She asked me to take good care of you all, so I had to do as she said and couldn’t let you guys suffer any grievances. You bunch of heartless b*stards! How dare you doubt me?!”

Floyd’s face and neck were red from yelling.

Aida quickly stood up to comfort Floyd.

“Dad, Kai didn’t mean it like that. What he meant was that even if it was true, we could find ways to deal with it in time. But we believe in you. It’s just that Eric came here so aggressively, and it looks like he won’t give up until he achieves his goal. To prevent him from making a move again, I think it’s better if more of us can stay at home with Dad.”

Grant looked at Floyd and said in a deep tone, “I also think that it’s disgustingly humiliating to cooperate with his request.”

Nicole came back from taking a call outside. Her face was indifferent, and her eyebrows raised slightly.

“I have already had someone find Charles Ferguson’s whereabouts. From now on, he’s under our watch. As long as Eric dares to do anything, we will return it tenfold. Dad, don’t worry. Clayton will be back soon, and I won’t let anyone get close to you.”

Floyd sighed helplessly.

“You don’t need to make such a fuss. You’re pregnant, so don’t get angry. It’s more important for you to take care of yourself. Don’t worry about me. Even if he succeeds in his plan, I will be innocent. If he wants to do the test, he’ll find ways to do it, but I have a right to refuse to cooperate.”

Even if Eric really did the paternity test, Floyd was not afraid of the results.

Nicole smiled. “I think so too. Otherwise, people will think that our family is easy to bully!”

Kai nodded and patted his thigh.

“That’s right! From now on, Jules and I will live here and stay with you every step of the way.”

Floyd rolled his eyes at Kai. “You only want Julie to live here so that you can relax a bit, huh?”

After all, since Julie was pregnant, she became more hot-tempered and picky in eating.

Kai leaned forward with a smile and hugged Floyd’s arm.

“Daddy, you’re so smart!”

“Get lost! How could I have such a worthless son like you?!”

Floyd scolded with a smile.
