Chapter 2625 She Doesn’t Want It

When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or

disgust in her eyes.

It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.

Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.

Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each

carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.

Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.

“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”

Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric.

They just laughed it off.

Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.

Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.

“The past is in the past. Let’s forgive each other, okay?”

Nicole nodded with sore eyes.

“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare a gift for you, but I brought this…”

Nicole took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Selena.

“If you sign this, you can get a share of the Stanton Corporation in the future.”

Selena frowned. She was a little puzzled by the document in front of her.

“What’s this?”

“This was Noah’s share, but the company took it back a few years ago. My father thought that Noah

should have some money for retirement, so he gave Noah the annual dividends. Now that Noah is in

jail, my father said that you should have this as a little favor from us. Please accept it.”

Selena’s face stiffened. She was silent as she lowered and shook her head.

She pushed the contract back.

“I don’t want it.”

“Selena, you don’t know how much money this is. Don’t you want to buy a bar? You can buy ten bars

with this money.”

Nicole explained patiently.

Selena smiled and shook her head.

“Nicole, if I accept this, I will have to admit that Noah is my biological father. That way, I will have to

accept this blood relationship, and I have to face the past that was robbed of me. Since birth, I’ve had

no parents. Now, I don’t want them. I don’t want to admit that he is my father, and I won’t acknowledge

my ties with the Stanton family. You’re a good friend of mine. This is a deep enough relationship to me.

It’s better to keep it as it is now.”

Nicole listened to her quietly and felt a little embarrassed.

She had been incredibly lucky growing up, and she had a great life.

Compared with Selena, Nicole was living in heaven.

However, even if Selena’s life was tough, she had never wavered in the face of the money.

Nicole smiled and understood what she meant.

“Okay, I understand. But please thank Eric on our behalf. Although the shares that Noah transferred to

him were useless, Eric didn’t know that. It would have been very troublesome if Eric insisted on them.”

“He knows, Nicole. He won’t hurt you.”

Selena looked at her with a smile.

Nicole raised her head and felt a little embarrassed again:

“Selena, you should know that Eric and I had nothing going on between us back then.”

“Nicole, you don’t need to explain anything. I understand that the past is over, and Eric also made it

clear to me. It’s not awkward at all. We’re still good friends, and we need to keep in touch in the future!”

Nicole smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

The two ladies looked at each other and smiled, seemingly relieved.

In the end, Nicole suddenly remembered one more important thing.

“Noah has a wife named Jade Smith. She’s very difficult to deal with. She has been eyeing those

shares for a long time, and she knows of your existence, so you have to be careful.”

Selena was slightly taken aback. Then, she nodded.

“Don’t worry. I’m prepared.”

“Good.”

Nicole smiled. She guessed that Eric would not have suspected Jade.

......

When Jennifer got out of the psychiatric hospital, she saw Jade, and her expression changed.

“Mrs. Stanton.”

Jade sized Jennifer up. Jennifer was in a daze. She lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were dull.

It seemed that she was really tortured.

“You’re still sane. You didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have, right?”

Jade glanced at the psychiatric hospital behind them.

Jennifer immediately shook her head.

“No, I did as you said. I didn’t tell them anything. Eric was so angry that he beat me himself.”

Jennifer unconsciously covered her face as if she had some lingering fear.

Jade chuckled lightly.

“Don’t worry. This is just temporary. Aren’t I here now to rescue you? As long as you’re obedient, I

won’t treat you badly when I get what I want. Didn’t you envy your cousin who married Eric? Why don't

you wait until your cousin dies? Then, I’ll match you up with Eric.”

Jennifer’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

Then her eyes dimmed again.

“But Eric doesn’t like me. He only likes Selena. I don’t know what method she used to bewitch Eric.”

Jennifer was unreconciled and covetous.

Jade twitched the corners of her mouth and gradually let down her guard.

Jennifer was still the same as before, completely brainless.

“Let’s go. I’ll think of a way for you. You just need to do one more thing for me.”

“What is it?”

When Jade got into the car, Jennifer had no choice but to follow.

Jennifer glanced back at the psychiatric hospital.

What Eric said to her last time came to mind.

Jennifer shuddered unconsciously and sobered up.

“What are you looking at? Are you reluctant to leave this place?”

Jade could not help but ask.

“Of course not! I don’t want to come to this hell hole ever again. Fortunately, you found me. Otherwise,

I don’t know how long I will be stuck here.”

Jennifer said gratefully.

Jade chuckled triumphantly. “Of course! Money can make the world go round!”

She just bribed Eric’s driver, who easily revealed Eric’s whereabouts.

The people around Eric were not all that after all!

Jade came to another road and got down to business.

“You shouldn’t show yourself for the time being, but your parents can. I have a bottle of medicine here.

Get your parents to pour it into Selena’s cup and make her drink it. Then, your task is complete.”

Jennifer turned pale with fright.

“Is it poison?”

“It’s potassium cyanide.”

Jade glanced at her slowly.

“Why? Are you scared?”

Jennifer sat there trembling.

“I don’t dare to do this, neither will my parents. They’re old, and killing someone is too scary. They can’t

go to jail!”

“Hmph! Didn’t you almost kill Selena yourself? How did you forget so quickly?”

Jade could not help but reveal Jennifer’s true colors.

It was too late to be afraid now.

“Also, we won’t get a chance to do this. Selena is now avoiding our family like the plague. She’s afraid

that we’ll pester her, so she won’t see my parents.”

What Jennifer said was the truth.

It was also according to Eric’s instructions.

Jennifer did not dare to say one wrong word, let alone expose their plans.
