The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2508 Don’t Dare to Dream

Nicole could not help but said over the phone, "Let's go out for a meal when you're free! Don't close your bar for too long!" Selena laughed and said, "Don't worry. My bar was flooded, so it's under renovation. It'll open in less than a month."

"Great!"

They hung up the phone, and Selena took a deep breath.

The boulder that fell on her heart was moved aside, and she instantly felt relaxed.

Selena waited for a few minutes. Soon, the hot topic online lost its traction.

In less than half an hour, it disappeared.

In this world, only women were reliable.

Girls help each other.

Julie posted the short clip of the show and added the caption, "Thanks, Selena, for helping us to perform this clip for free. I hope the public doesn't bother Selena because she's not a part of showbiz." Everyone was still wondering why the hot topic was withdrawn so quickly when Julie released that statement in the name of the company. It silenced those who suspected that Selena was using Eric to gain popularity.

Selena immediately forwarded the post and wrote, "I don't dare to dream of the unattainable."

The public opinion changed in an instant.

[Julie and Nicole are good friends. If they explained on behalf of Selena, it means that Selena isn't an indecent person!]

[This lady is quite frank. She must have been wrongly accused.]

[I thought that Mr. Ferguson's affection for Nicole isn't real. But Mr. Ferguson didn't say a word about this!]

[That photo might have been doctored or taken from an angle. Besides, Selena is the owner of the bar, so it's normal for her to greet important guests!]

[Who doesn't go to the bar to have fun after work? I used to work near the bar. Selena is very gentle and nice. Everyone likes to hang out there!]

[I have to say that the bar is very clean and proper. They don't have escorts or promoters. Otherwise, they would've been investigated long ago.]

[Selena never refuses to take a photo with us. She looks much better in person too! This photo must have been deliberately taken to ride on her popularity.]

Seeing that everyone's remarks finally stopped being so critical, Selena felt at ease.

It was really a world of difference!

Selena relaxed, but she also felt upset.

Thus, she went to change and planned to go for a walk nearby to take a breather.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric was in a conference early in the morning. It was highly confidential, so he could not bring his phone with him. Mitchell was also anxious and helpless while waiting for Eric outside.

Eric did not come out until noon.

The organizer also invited Eric to a lunch reception.

When Eric noticed Mitchell's gaze, he politely declined the invitation.

In the car, Mitchell showed Eric all the screenshots of the comments just now.

"Mr. Ferguson, something big happened in the morning. Someone photographed you and Ms. Nelson together and exposed your affair. There are also a lot of comments below!"

Eric glanced at it. His brows knitted up, and he finally threw the tablet aside.

"Why do I have to explain to the public who I'm with?"

"That's what I think, but I guess since you're considered a public figure, many people would pay attention to you. I just found out slightly before you. Fortunately, Ms. Stanton asked Ms. Nixon to help clarify this. Ms. Nelson also explained it herself, so the matter was resolved."

When Eric heard Nicole's name, his expression fluctuated slightly.

It was fleeting.

Eric picked up the tablet. "Let me see how Selena explained it. How does she have experience in dealing with such things? In the future, let the public relations department..."

When Eric saw the sentence that Selena posted, he felt a tingle in his heart.

He held back his words.

There was an eerie silence in the car.

"I don't dare to dream of the unattainable..."

Mitchell naturally knew what Selena said.

There was no other way to solve this besides denying their relationship. How could she admit it?

Even if they wanted to admit it, Selena should not take the initiative because it would just backfire.

Selena would be humiliated if Eric did not want to admit their relationship.

Even if he wanted to admit it, he had already missed the opportunity.

The PR department did not know about Eric's private affairs, so they did not dare to clarify without his permission. Thus, Selena had no choice but to face it by herself.

Fortunately, she made it through.

Eric threw the tablet aside.

His face was extremely glum.

Eric knew that their relationship should not be exposed to the public. He had also agreed not to let anyone know.

Now was not the best time to announce it.

Without full preparation, the public opinion could easily get out of control.

However, Eric felt indescribably awkward and angry when he saw Selena's denial.

The denial was so straightforward.

Eric pursed his lips and glanced out of the window sullenly.

"Did you replace out who posted it?"

"Yes. According to the IP address, it's a young actor who just returned to Mediania and made his debut. You've seen him before."

Mitchell would not fall behind in this regard.

He had already investigated this matter clearly.

Eric glanced at the photo and squinted his eyes, which were dark and deep.

"Since you found him, sue him for defamation and kick him out of showbiz."

Eric's voice was cold.

The actor in the photo was the guy who struck up a conversation with him in the bar, right?

It was the guy who wanted to drink for free and called him an old man.

Hah!

"Yes, sir."

Mitchell was not surprised by this.

Eric had not been the subject of discussion on the internet for a long time. It was mostly due to his harsh tactics, which scared away the major media platforms. However, this young actor was unaware of who he had offended because he grew up abroad and went to a third-rate university.

The actor even dared to post this picture on a platform registered with his real name.

This actor wanted to take advantage of Selena's popularity. Unexpectedly, he hit the wall and offended Eric instead.

The actor probably did not look into who Eric was. Otherwise, how could he be so bold?

Eric rubbed his temples and looked at his phone.

It was very quiet.

There were no other messages or phone calls.

Eric looked up at Mitchell.

"Did she call you?"

Mitchell was taken aback and immediately realized who Eric was referring to. "No. Ms. Nelson never looked for me."

Eric fell silent.

Mitchell coughed. "Ms. Nelson didn't call you maybe because Ms. Stanton helped to solve it."

Eric's voice was rough and hoarse.

"She didn't even look for me for such a big matter."

He felt useless!

"Go back to the villa."

His voice was deep.

Mitchell pursed his lips and felt that the relationship between Eric and Selena was really strange.

Selena was living with Eric, but the two of them did not look like a loving couple.

On the contrary, they deliberately concealed their relationship and did not want others to know.

Any other woman would have been so anxious that she would go straight to Ferguson Corporation to make a fuss. However, Selena did not do so.
