Finneas’ face flushed with rage. I never knew that she has such a sharp tongue! He shot daggers at Selena, yet he couldn’t come up with a single rebuttal.
“Finneas Lake, please stop putting on an innocent act here, claiming that you were duped and seduced. Also, don’t say that you want to mend your ways. Would you even believe what you’re saying?” Selena finally rebutted. “If I weren’t the president of JNS Corporation, would you want to start over with me?”
Finneas was evidently mortified at being exposed.
“The only thing I feel as I look at you now is repugnance and revulsion. No matter what, Megan was your wife, and she was willing to do anything at all for you back then. But what about you? You know best what you did! I’ll only keep my distance away from someone like you, so I’ll never get together with you.” Selena’s remark extinguished his hope.
Finneas took a deep breath. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll retract my testimony?” That’s right. I can now tell the media that I only badmouthed Megan because she threatened my company. If I do so, she’ll once again be the target of public criticism and lose any chance of turning the tables. The corners of his mouth curved into a smug smile. “Selena Yard, I can help you today and take you to heaven, but I can also crush you and consign you to hell!”
However, Selena merely shrugged. “It’s your choice.”
Finneas shot her a vicious glare. “Just you wait and see.”
When he was going to leave, he spotted Pierre standing at the door, leaning against the doorframe with a languid expression and a flippant smile. “I seem to have heard that you’re looking for me? Is that right, Mr. Lake?”
Finneas instantly lowered his head. He was only resolved to win Selena back shamelessly because Lake Corporation wasn’t doing so well at present, but before JNS Corporation and Fowler Corporation, Lake Corporation could only tuck its tail between its legs. “Not at all, Mr. Fowler. You must have misheard me.”
His obsequious attitude amused Selena greatly.
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, yes. If there’s nothing else, please excuse me.” As Finneas said that, he made to leave.
However, Pierre blocked his path. “This is my first time seeing such a shameless person like you, Mr. Lake. The girl has already said that it’s impossible between the two of you, but you still seek her out time and again. Tsk-tsk. That’s simply mortifying, no?”
Finneas could only smile, having no retort at all.
“Furthermore, she’s now my girlfriend.”
“Of course.” The moment Finneas took a step out the door, Pierre stuck out a leg and tripped him. Caught off guard, he face-planted on the floor. Then, he glanced back at Pierre before hastily leaving without a hint of temper.
Pierre subsequently closed the door, upon which his expression immediately changed. Finneas had helped a great deal today, and Selena was alone with him in the room, so he was naturally feeling disgruntled. Just when he was about to express his chagrin, Selena rushed over and went on her tiptoes, kissing him on the lips and catching him off guard with the unexpected kiss.
Joy imbued Selena. She knew that it was all thanks to him that she was able to clear her suspicion this time. She received a parcel last night with a USB drive inside that contained the video of Megan talking with the man. With the video, it proved that Megan deliberately had someone take her child away, so she only strangled her because she was anxious about her child.
