Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 199

“She truly knows nothing about it, and I can prove it.” A voice rang out from behind.

Everyone looked over their shoulders, only to be greeted by the sight of a dapper man in a suit walking forward.

Selena frowned. Why is Finneas Lake here? His appearance had her shoring up her guard since she had no inkling of his motive in coming here at this time. Didn’t he say he can prove it earlier? Then, I’ll just listen and see what exactly he wants to say.

Finneas went up to the stage. “I believe most of you here recognize me. I’m the heir of Lake Corporation, Finneas Lake. I’m also Selena Yard’s ex-boyfriend and Megan Yard’s… ex-husband.”

The word ‘ex-husband’ seemed to clue everyone in to something at once.

“That’s right. I said ex-husband because Megan Yard and I are already divorced. I officially divorced her while she is still in the ICU.”

The conference hall went into an uproar. This man is just too much of a scumbag! Megan Yard has just suffered a miscarriage and is still lying in the ICU, yet he divorced her? Usually, people hide it when they do such an unconscionable thing, but he’s actually announcing it himself shamelessly! Never have I seen such a despicable man!

“Please quieten down and listen to me, okay?” Finneas raised his voice.

At this, the crowd slowly fell silent.

“If Megan Yard hadn’t gotten pregnant, I think we would’ve divorced long ago. Perhaps we would’ve gone straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau and gotten a divorce right after the wedding itself.”

Finneas paused for a moment before continuing, “Nonetheless, I think all of you are more interested to know how I’m going to prove that Selena Yard wasn’t aware of Megan Yard’s pregnancy. It’s because even I, the father of the child, only knew about this a few days before the incident. Originally, we were already in the midst of a divorce, but she just wouldn’t agree to a divorce. In the end, she announced her pregnancy on Twitter first. As the biological father, I learned about it far later than the netizens. Her goal was to create pressure from public opinion so that I couldn’t divorce her. Therefore, we signed an agreement not to divorce for the time being, but if anything happens during the pregnancy, the divorce will be effective immediately, and she’ll leave the marriage empty-handed.”

At the side, Selena stole a glance at him upon hearing this. It’s fortunate that it was Megan who married him and not me. Otherwise, the person lying in the ICU now might be me. This man is truly too cruel.

“Could it be that Selena Yard learned that Megan Yard was pregnant from Twitter?” a reporter instantly demanded.

“This incident happened less than a week ago. My family has a custom of keeping a pregnancy secret before the first trimester, else the child will be at risk, and the expectant mother may suffer a miscarriage. Thus, we immediately used our connections to remove it from the top search queries and had Megan Yard delete the tweet. The tweet was taken down in less than a day from when it was posted, and Selena Yard doesn’t follow Megan Yard on Twitter. If you don’t believe me, you can check her login records, and it’s been about a month since she last logged into Twitter.”

The reporters had nothing to say to this.

“After she’d suffered a miscarriage, I immediately arranged for a divorce since any feelings between us were long since gone. Back then, I thought she was a gentle and considerate woman, but never had I expected her to be a cruel woman!”

Gritting his teeth, Finneas continued, “She insulted Selena Yard’s daughter and said that she was a bastard, causing a four-year-old child to suffer from psychological trauma, necessitating a visit to a psychologist. I only knew later that Megan Yard set Selena Yard up to sleep with another man, which led to her being pregnant, just to get her hands on me.”
