Chapter 2520 Countdown to the End of Their Relationship
Chapter 2520 Countdown to the End of Their Relationship
Mitchell was puzzled. He wanted to say something, but someone approached them.
“Mr. Ferguson, long time no see…”
After Selena ate a few pieces of dessert, she could not stomach it anymore.
Thus, she slowly walked to the window with a glass of champagne in her hand. She sipped on it and
became more sober as she drank.
It was not as dark outside, with neon lights sparsely scattered throughout the city.
It was simple and beautiful.
Unfortunately, she had no part in this.
The countdown to the end of her relationship had officially started. It had only been 24 hours.
No one progressed faster than she did.
Suddenly, there was a sound of high heels coming from the side.
Selena looked sideways at an unfamiliar woman. She was very beautiful and graceful.
The woman had a kind of noble and elegant beauty that was inborn in her.
“Hello, are you Mr. Ferguson’s female companion?”
With that question, she introduced her reason for coming over.
Selena understood in an instant and smiled.
“Yes. What’s the matter?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“My name is Taylor Caldwell. I’m from CK Corporation, and I have a project that I’d like to present to Mr.
Ferguson. Will you introduce me to him?”
The woman was eloquent. She spoke without the slightest bit of ridicule and sarcasm.
When she looked at Selena, her eyes were clear and serious. She wore light makeup, and she made
one feel comfortable around her.
However, she was still unapproachable, just like Eric.
Selena glanced at Eric, who was the center of attention, and smiled.
“I’m not familiar with you, so I’m afraid I can’t introduce you. But Eric has always been interested in
making money, so he won’t reject you if you go straight to him.”
The woman was obviously taken aback by Selena’s bluntness. However, she was not shocked or
upset. She just smiled faintly.
“Okay. This is also my first time meeting him, so I don’t know Mr. Ferguson’s preferences. Since you
said so, I’ll try it.”
Taylor nodded politely before she turned around and walked toward Eric.
Selena squinted her eyes. From a distance, Selena could see the two of them in the same frame.
They were really a good match!
That woman was capable and made Selena feel like there was a gap between them that she could not
catch up to.
It seemed that only someone like Eric was worthy of her. Eric was well-matched to Taylor.
Selena drank the champagne in the glass and slowly walked toward Eric.
She tried to see if that woman took the initiative to cozy up to Eric or show any affection toward him.
However, Taylor did not do so.
She talked about her business and projects fluently as Eric listened solemnly.
They did not look like they were casually chatting.
Selena paused and hesitated whether to go over.
Eric saw Selena out of the corner of his eye and beckoned to her. He stretched out his hand and
interrupted the woman apologetically.
“Wait a minute.”
Eric looked up at Selena and smiled gently.
“Are you full? Come here.”
He took a brochure of the auction items from the seat next to him.
“These are the auction items. You can check out what you like first. Then we’ll bid for it later.”
Selena took it over in a daze.
The gaze of that beautiful woman also landed on Selena’s face.
At that moment, Selena’s face felt a little hot.
Selena felt ashamed.
She maintained her superficial calmness, turned around, and sat down on a nearby sofa with the
booklet in hand.
Eric continued talking to the people next to him.
She looked down at the brochure. The pictures on it were exquisite and gorgeous, but she did not
fancy any of them.
Instead, she focused on the conversation between Eric and Taylor while her thoughts were scrambled.
After staying abroad for several years, Selena could understand the language they were speaking.
However, Selena could not understand their conversation, which involved professional terms in the
industry. The two of them spoke fluently, and no one else could interrupt them.
The words “evenly matched” appeared in Selena’s mind when she looked at the two.
The marriage that Eric wanted should be like this, right?
Selena slowly let out a sigh of relief and let go of her feelings for Eric.
Soon, the auction started.
Eric did not continue talking to that woman and held Selena’s hand to enter the auction venue.
The first thing to be auctioned was a jade bracelet of excellent quality. The jade was a soft color and
had a faint luster. It was a rare high-grade product.
The items put up for auction were far more exquisite and shocking than those shown in the pictures.
The opulence and intricacy were astounding.
Eric looked like he was determined to win the bid.
“Do you like it? If you do, I’ll bid for it.”
His voice was gentle. He looked at Selena’s side profile and thought that it was rare for her to be so
quiet tonight.
He thought that Selena might be a little uncomfortable being in this strange place for the first time and
thought that he should take her out more often.
Selena turned her head slightly, just in time to see that beautiful woman Taylor, who was sitting not far
from Eric. Taylor was looking over at them.
It seemed that she had also heard Eric’s words as she had some dark and complicated emotions.
Selena looked past Taylor and smiled slightly.
“Sure.”
In fact, Selena did not look at the bracelet at all.
The asking price for this jade bracelet was $8 million. It was quickly pushed to more than $15 million.
Hearing that fewer people were placing their bids, Eric began to compete for it.
Everyone saw that Eric did not seem to care about his wallet, so there were fewer and fewer bids.
In the end, it was auctioned at a price of $22 million.
Eric looked at Selena happily. Her face was dull without the slightest hint of joy.
His doting and affection for Selena seemed to have reached an incurable point.
Selena smiled perfunctorily and was very cooperative.
She would even foolishly throw herself into this relationship.
Such a rational person like her would be destroyed by a man.

Of course, Selena was not interested.
Next was a diamond necklace, which she got.
There was also a forest sculpture carved from jade that she bought.
Selena also bought a wooden puppet.
One after another, Selena got whatever she liked.
Eric did not ask any questions and bid for everything Selena set her eyes on.
In the end, the whole venue was silent and became their private auction.
Everyone started to pay attention to the woman beside Eric.
After all, Eric had never spent so much to please a woman, except when he was crazy in love with
Nicole a few years ago.
However, who was the woman beside him now?
No one knew the details.
Some people were not internet savvy, so they did not know that Selena had gone viral a while ago.
However, her fame soon died down.
