Chapter 2618 The Belated Truth
Selena took Chance’s hand and shook her head, but she could not speak.
She could only look at Eric, begging for help.
Eric carried Chance down from the bed.
“Go to bed. Don’t disturb her rest.”
Chance turned his head three times and reluctantly left while wiping away his tears.
Selena looked at Eric angrily.
She was blaming him for not having much patience with Chance. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Eric sighed, sat down, and applied the ointment to Selena’s neck.
“I’m really not in the mood to think about anything else right now. I’ll apologize to him later, okay?”
Selena blinked her tender and watery eyes.
They finally found her biological father, so they could let go of all their worries.
From the initial shock and grief, Selena felt somewhat relieved now.
She felt that God treated her well.
Her grandfather saved her and sent her back to hell, but she climbed back up.
She also had her own career and this man in front of her.
What else could she complain about?
Selena was lucky.
She did not fall into the mire, and she did not let herself wallow in her misfortune.
Selena worked very hard to survive.
Eric lowered his head and carefully applied the ointment for her. He was very cautious as he was afraid that it would hurt her.
Selena’s tears fell in a daze. She touched Eric’s face comfortingly and could not speak, but she mouthed the words, “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt.”
The corners of Eric’s eyes were slightly red as he held her in his arms.
“If he gets his way, I will kill him, Selena. I will definitely kill him.”
Noah did not get his way, but Eric still beat him to a pulp.
If Noah managed to kill Selena, Eric would definitely go crazy and lose control. He would make Noah pay for it with his life.
Of course, Selena believed what Eric said.
After all, she saw him beating Noah up.
Eric would not let Noah get away with it so easily.
He sent Noah to an unknown place.
Noah had hypocritically said that he wanted to cooperate with Eric and begged Eric for help.
Perhaps it was all an excuse to get close to Selena.
The closer he got to Eric, the more Selena would trust Noah.
Late at night, Selena fell asleep. Then, Eric went out.
His bodyguards were guarding a room that no one dared to approach.
Noah fainted in the cold, dark, and damp room.
They were at an old abandoned factory that had nothing to do with Ferguson Corporation.
Even if Noah were to die here, no one would suspect Eric.
Eric was well-prepared to fight to the death with Noah and retreat without leaving any evidence.
Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured over Noah’s head, and he instantly woke up from his drowsy state due to the stress response.
Noah whimpered in pain, slowly raised his head, and looked at Eric, who was standing in the dark with an oppressive vibe.
He paused for a moment, then came to his senses. He remembered what had happened and trembled all over.
Eric stood there and lit a cigarette for himself.
The smoke lingered and scattered in the air. It dispersed until nothing could be seen.
Noah felt a bone-chilling fear which made him shudder.
Seeing his reaction, Eric chuckled.
“Mr. Stanton, is it?”
“Mr. Stanton” reminded Noah of Selena’s biological mother.
She did not even know his name.
Joel Nelson only introduced him as Mr. Stanton, so she could only address him as such.
Back then, she said, “Mr. Stanton, please have mercy. Please let me go. Please…”
She also said, “I won’t let you get away with this! I hate you! I want you to die!”
In the end, only hysteria remained on that gentle face.
She and Selena were indeed mother and daughter. They really looked alike!
They were so similar that every time Noah saw Selena, he would subconsciously want to torture and abuse her.
He would think that Selena was her mother.
That face was so beautiful and alluring.
It was also that woman with the pitiful face that took a knife and castrated him while he was not paying attention.
Thus, Noah hated that woman.
When Eric stepped on Noah’s head, Noah recalled the moment the woman stood at the window and asked him, “Did you kill Joel?”
At that time, Noah relied on Stanton Corporation’s name so that no one would dare to mess with him.
Although Floyd was a well-known figure, everyone knew that he was kind and soft-hearted.
However, Noah was the exact opposite of Floyd. He was ruthless.
Stanton Corporation landed many projects because of Noah.
Floyd did not know that his younger brother would do these things, so he confidently handed over the power of the company to him.
That time was Noah’s brightest moment.
Later, because of a problem with a project, Floyd no longer trusted Noah and gradually withdrew these rights. When Stanton Corporation established a subsidiary in Jericho City, Floyd asked Noah to leave the company.
Noah clearly knew that Floyd was expelling him from the center of power.
He also agreed because he hoped to establish his own company. If he was always standing behind Floyd, who would know what he was capable of?
However, when he escaped from Floyd’s control, he was in the limelight for a while.
Noah proposed for Joel to offer up his wife so that he could have fun with her for a few days.
That wimpy Joel actually refused and said that he would never continue this arrangement in the future.
Joel regretted it.
How ridiculous! It had already started, so how could he regret it?
Did Joel think that Noah would pretend that nothing ever happened just because Joel regretted it?
So, as Joel was driving back, Noah messed with Joel’s brakes.
No one knew.
Joel died, and his wife would have no support. Thus, she had no choice but to go to him.
Noah made a brilliant plan and could not be happier.
He did not care that he killed someone and did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, he found it thrilling, like an electric current passed through his body. Wherever it went, it gave off a dense stimulation.
It made him feel exhilarated.
It turned out that Noah enjoyed killing people.
Noah looked at the woman on the windowsill who wanted to threaten him with her death, smiled, and told her how he felt at that time.
The woman yelled like crazy.
Noah wanted to rape, abuse and humiliated her as usual.
She had even given birth to his child, so why was she still dissatisfied?
Somehow, she took out a knife from somewhere and ruthlessly pierced it into his lower body.
He wanted to kill her at the time.
However, before he could do so, the woman jumped off the balcony.
Splat—
Her body smashed to the ground.
The baby was crying loudly, but Noah did not seem to hear it.
Noah looked at the woman downstairs, whose brains spilled out of her head. Tsk tsk, how gory.
However, Noah was elated.
Noah left and erased all traces of his presence.
The Nelson family was clueless. Even if they had a lead, they did not dare to do anything because of what Joel did to gain the project.
They could not afford to lose their reputation.
