Just then, a group of bodyguards rushed over and stood in front of Pierre. “He’s a gigolo! Selena, President Lawrence has gotten into contact with the President of JNS Corporation before, so I’m sure that he can point out that the man isn’t the president. Will you wake up to reality?” Megan’s eyes welled up with tears as she was trying to pretend that she loved her sister.Finneas charged forward and landed a loud slap on Megan’s face. “What is wrong with you?!”After Megan was slapped, she stared at Finneas in disbelief, for she had never expected that he would slap her right in front of so many people at their wedding. Suppressing her tears, Megan said, “Finneas, do you still believe her? That man is a gigolo! I’ve done a proper investigation. He’s not the President of JNS Corporation. He’s a liar! My sister isn’t the president’s wife! I know you’re eager to cooperate with JNS Corporation, but—” “Enough!” Finneas growled. Megan shuddered in fright, for she had never seen him so fur
Pierre had proposed to Selena, and she was wearing the ring he had given her, but it was at this moment that she found out he was Pierre Fowler.“Pierre!” Roland called out and shuffled toward Pierre. “Please don’t take what just happened to your heart. It’s because Megan didn’t recognize you. You see, Merry and your sons are four years old, but we have never met before, which is the cause for the misunderstanding. So, we should meet up more.”Selena was flabbergasted when she heard what Roland said.She recalled that when she was in the Fowler Residence, she heard the housekeeper calling out ‘Young Master Jamie’, but she didn’t read too much into it at that time. So, the twin sons are the kids of Meredith and Pierre!At that instant, Selena was disgusted by the fact that he was Pierre Fowler, and on top of that, he also had kids with Meredith.I’ve unknowingly become a mistress! How revolting!Pierre shot a disdainful look at the old man and took a seat. Meanwhile, his bodyguards blo
“Pierre and Selena!” Megan said in an agitated manner. “When I was in Forever Gown, I saw Pierre with the twins. Selena called him ‘Hubby’ and even said that they were her kids!”In an instant, Meredith’s mind buzzed. I can’t believe that the woman is Selena! I wouldn’t be afraid of any other women, but it must not be Selena!“She also said that Pierre was the President of JNS Corporation. After I stepped out of the shop, I realized that I had left my bag behind, so I returned and heard them saying that Pierre wasn’t really the president. Otherwise, why would I decide to expose their lies? They’ve partnered up to set me up!”Megan finally understood what was going on. “Merry, it’s apparent that Pierre and Selena are in an immoral relationship. Otherwise, why would he help her put on this show when he’s so busy?” Meredith’s legs turned to jelly when she heard that. “When did that happen? Was it before the event in the cake shop?” Meredith tried to sound calm so that she wouldn’t appea
After delivering the demand, Roland immediately left Selena’s side and returned to his seat. Pierre was seated not far away from her and stole a glance at her. It happened that she was looking at him too.Their eyes met, but none of them looked away. Finally, she snorted and retracted her gaze. Outside the room, Juniper flung Joaquin’s hand away. “I don’t need you to lead me around!”He turned around and stared at her with his usual aloof expression. “You all are liars! You and your dad are nothing but liars!” She glared fiercely at him.He had nothing to say because they had indeed lied to Selena and Juniper. Earlier, Pierre had instructed the twins to tell the same story; he even introduced their surname as Moody.“Do you think I’ll be grateful to you after you saved me today? I won’t!” Then, she left in a fit of rage. At that moment, Linda finally found Juniper. “Gosh, little girl, where did you go?”“Let’s leave, Miss Linda.” Juniper took Linda’s hand, and before she left, she tur
Selena paused in the middle of her speech. “The wedding of my half-sister and my childhood sweetheart.” The crowd stirred after she dropped the bomb. Wow, there is so much more drama going on. This wedding is too overwhelming!Neither Megan nor Finneas expected Selena to bring up the topic. After all, Selena’s reputation was also at stake, for she had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Despite that, she ended up confessing everything.“When I was thirteen, I learned that our family had agreed to an engagement with the Lake Family. It was at that time I knew for sure that I’d marry the handsome Finneas Lake in the future. I was very young and inexperienced in love. Our relationship was good, and we studied in the same class at the same school.”“When we were young, he was a handsome, gentle, and sophisticated boy. Back then, I always thought that he was the embodiment of the ideal man, worthy of all compliments. Since the engagement, my name has become synonymous with ‘Finneas’s girlfrien
"If you knew nothing about my purported affair with another man, why would you bring it up? Megan, we’re siblings. How could you side with the others? When I become the subject of slander, are you really going to smear my name as well?”“You! Your infidelity is a known fact. No one is slandering you! Not only did you sleep with another man, you even had his child! That little girl is proof of it! Do you think that you could start off anew as the president of JNS Corporation? No matter what title you hold, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a sl*t!” Megan roared at Selena at the top of her lungs.Megan’s behavior of calling her half-sister a sl*t made the guests question her character.Selena was calm in the face of Megan’s outburst. “I naively thought that Finneas was the father of the child I carried. I took great care of the baby, fearing that I would hurt her. But Finneas suddenly told me that he wanted a breakup because you were pregnant. Ah, I almost forgot about it. Your chi
Pierre was about to give chase but was soon held back by a thought in his head. What am I gonna say to her? After all, I can’t tell her I only cozied up to her because I thought she was a spy.That’ll surely make her blood boil without a doubt! As the lady drove off and disappeared from his sight, he couldn’t help but feel a stab of pain deep down.At the same time, Meredith was watching the entire scenario from afar before going back to the hotel. Upon her return, she headed upstairs right away, not to the banquet hall but to the lounge to check on Megan. Meanwhile, the latter was crying at the top of her lungs so hard that her voice turned hoarse.She was then seen crazily ripping her wedding dress apart, even knocking all her cosmetics over from the table. My wedding should have been the proudest moment in my life, yet it has now become my biggest humiliation that I have to live down for the rest of my days! There is no way I’ll let things slide so easily!“She must have done that
Knowing that Finneas was still mad, Megan gently rubbed her swollen cheek and shed tears in a bitter manner. Ever since the bridegroom gave her a slap during the wedding, she was shamefully known to be the most miserable bride among the rich.Therefore, sustaining her marriage became her only way to protect her status and shush the critics at the same time. I must pull myself together and make this work!At the thought of that, Megan took out a small vial and took a pill out of it. When Finneas exited the bathroom, she caringly gave him a glass of water. Feeling thirsty after a whole night of drinking, the man took the glass and guzzled down the liquid in it.After that, Finneas sat on the bed with the same gloomy and solemn expression on his face and asked, “Answer me. Back when you told me Selena had an affair, did you plan all that?You fooled her into making out with a man whom she thought was me. Then, you fabricated a story and fed me your lies about her unfaithful act, didn’t y
“No can do!” Selena turned Pierre down outright. After all, their first intimacy was an accident since she was drunk at that time. Therefore, she didn’t think that counted as her willingness to make love with him. I wouldn’t have gone ahead and shared an intimate moment with him had I been sober at that time.“Relax! Think about your company and your…” Pierre purposely paused for a second before going on to say, “Daughter.” In that instant, Selena’s eyes dilated in horror. “B*stard!”Selena was willing to give up her company if she had to since she had more than enough money to spend for the rest of her and her daughter’s life. However, she would never abandon her daughter for whatever reason it might be. Pierre is like the devil himself! How could he threaten me with my daughter?!Noticing Selena’s silence, Pierre knew she was scared deep down. “T-This… is a one-time thing, right?”“Of course.”"Will you leave me alone if I take you up on it? Promise me that you will never disturb my
Upon stepping out of the elevator, Selena had arrived at the top floor right outside the president’s office. “Miss Yard, President Fowler is waiting inside.” The employee left after walking her to the office’s entrance.Selena then took a deep breath and knocked on the door, entering the office when she heard Pierre’s deep voice. As soon as she stepped inside, the first thing that came into her view was the piled up documents on the table that Pierre had to go through. While the man’s absorption in work reminded her of herself back in those days, she was still rather surprised at the sight of his overwhelming workload.A moment later, Pierre looked up at Selena only when she sat right in front of him. “What do you want from me?” Selena directly asked the man the question with a poker face.Pierre responded with a glacial chuckle and continued to bury himself in work. “I made myself clear the last time, didn’t I? Beg me, and I’ll undo everything for you.”“You and I both know that we h
So, he wants me to beg him by denying me of all my chances! “What a b*stard!” This guy is an absolute jerk!For the next three days, Selena and her team actively searched from all their sources and contacted any company that they could work with, but strangely enough, all of them changed their minds not long after they agreed to collaborate. Even when they phoned to find out what happened, their calls were immediately declined. Thus, Selena was even more certain about her suspicion that Pierre was manipulating these companies from behind the scenes.Meanwhile, Pauline had personally made a trip to Empire Group, but she was turned away there and then. Despite her desperate effort to initiate a negotiation, she didn’t manage to meet up with anyone from the management, let alone Pierre himself. Her unsuccessful approach inevitably became a discouragement to everyone in her team, as they had never come across such an insurmountable setback. Because of that, the overall workplace morale ha
I’ll find the best few companies that we can work with. “Hello, Mr. Jacobs. May I ask… Oh, but I believe you still remember the deal that we discussed yesterday, right?” The moment Pauline picked up the call, she drew everyone’s attention, including Selena, who looked at her as well.“Sure, we’ll work together some other time.” Right after Pauline had just hung up the call, she heard her phone ringing again, so she had to pick up her phone again. “Hello, Miss Nolan. Regarding our deal yesterday—Oh… Okay, I understand.” After putting her phone away, Pauline appeared to be a little disheartened.“What’s wrong, Pauline?”“Well, we can talk about that after the meeting,” Pauline said with a gloomy look on her face.As soon as everyone was seated, Selena started off the meeting by complimenting her team, whereupon Linda proceeded to distribute the dossiers on each of the companies that they would soon be collaborating with.“Let’s discuss and select the companies that we think are suitable
In the meantime, Meredith was seen with an unhappy look on her face. Ever since her sister’s wedding, she had only filmed a movie and turned down all her jobs because she was too moody to accept any of them. Therefore, she had only spent the last few days loitering at home.“What should I do now, Mom?” Megan bitterly gazed at Jezebelle.“Your situation is still not as bad as you think. Look, you and Finneas are already married, which is something etched in stone. So, if he really wants a divorce, he’ll still likely have to think it through. Thus, your situation can afford to wait, but on the other hand, Meredith’s situation seems a little more pressing.”Jezebelle then shifted her gaze to Meredith. “What’s your plan?”Knowing both of her daughters, Jezebelle was aware of the differences between their characters and strengths. Although Megan never seemed to run out of ideas, she was an arrogant loudmouth most of the time. On the contrary, Meredith was more reserved and unfathomable, as
“President Fowler, these are the files for the meeting later.”Despite his assistant’s words, Pierre remained still without even casting an eye on those files. In fact, he would usually take a few minutes out of his time to skim through the papers before the meeting so that he roughly knew all the agendas that would be discussed later. Thus, Niall had no idea what was on Pierre’s mind as he stood aside and waited in silence.“Head over to Fowler Corporation and take back all our shares from Laya.”Pierre’s words came like a thunderbolt to Niall. In fact, the management had decided to redeem the company’s shares from Laya since clothing business was never the main focus of both Fowler Corporation and Empire Group, and neither was that area their forte.Despite Laya’s unsatisfactory performance in the past few years, Pierre had never once expressed his interest in that company. Even when it was mentioned earlier during the meeting at Fowler Corporation, he had only just assigned someone
It’s him again?! Why won’t this guy ever give up?! Irritated and annoyed, Selena gritted her teeth and exclaimed, “What does this guy want from me?!”Unaware of what was going on, Juniper asked, “What did you just say, Mommy?” “Nothing.” “Mom, why do your lips look so red? They seem to be swollen. Are you not feeling well?”After hearing Juniper, Selena subconsciously touched her lips. This is all thanks to that b*stard! Nonetheless, she didn’t want her daughter to know what happened earlier, so she had no choice but to lie to her. “Oh, that’s because I took some spicy fries when I was waiting for you.”Juniper pouted. “Hmph! You secretly ate the good stuff again!”“They’re not good stuff. They’re junks,” Selena replied to Juniper’s words while setting her eyes on ‘Venom’. Then, she was followed by Pierre until she entered her residential area.After that, she parked outside her house and impatiently got out of her car, stomping toward the man. As she was about to confront Pierre and
Then, Selena took the ring out of her pocket and flung it at Pierre, making the latter stop in his tracks when he felt something hitting him. “Take back your ring! You shameless liar!”As the ring fell onto the ground right beside Pierre’s foot, he took a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and stepped away. Soon, Selena came out of the alley as well and saw a huge crowd at the kindergarten’s entrance, whereupon she quickly queued up.At that moment, Pierre was nowhere to be found. Selena glanced across the crowd, but she soon noticed that his assistant was in the queue as well. So, he sent someone to pick his kids up, didn’t he? Then, why did he still come here in that case?Meanwhile, Juniper was queuing up as well, with Jameson standing behind her. Although he had been trying to open her up the whole day, the little girl simply wouldn’t respond to him. “Come on, Juniper! We’re best friends, aren’t we?We might have lied to you, but we didn’t do that on purpose. Wait a minute.
“Yup, I’m doing this on purpose!” Pierre didn’t bother to hide his intention at all.Staring at the man’s look, Selena felt a strong urge to punch him in the face. I wish I could just slam my fist into his face until no one recognizes him! In this way, he could never harm anyone ever again.“Do you think this is fun, Pierre Fowler? You knew my relationship with Meredith all along, didn’t you? She is my half-sister, and I can tell you that we both could have lived peacefully without a bitter history, but because of you, I became your mistress!”Well, I might as well keep this going.“Furthermore, she gave birth to a pair of twins for you! Anyway, you both are getting married sooner or later. So, please be a dutiful husband and stop fooling around for your children’s sake!”Alas! I can’t help but feel sorry for the boys. They deserve a better father! But I guess having Meredith as their mother is something more pathetic!“Yes, I do.” Pierre gave his reply in a glacial tone. “What did yo
