Chapter 22


    Chapter 22 Blinded by Love


    Finneas Lake. It has been four years—four years since Ist saw him. This was a man whom Selena


    had loved with all her heart and soul. Once upon a time, she had believed that he was everything in her


    world. He was her sun, her moon, and all of her stars, a man whom she would sacrifice anything for.


    When they met again, she totally didn’t expect him to p her. “You crazy b*tch! You f*cking turned me


    into a cuckold, and now you wanted other women to do that again to me, isn’t that true? You evil,


    scheming b*tch!” Finneas pointed at her furiously, his finger almost poking straight into her eyes.


    At the barst time, had it not been Finneas’s arrival on time, he could not imagine what Megan would


    have done with other men. He walked into the bar just in time to witness Megan dancing sensually with


    an old man!


    After that incident, Megan pitifully revealed to him that it was Selena who had drugged her, causing her


    to act indecently.


    Of course, Finneas immediately understood the reason behind Selena’s action. She did that to take


    revenge on me! She turned me into a cuckold, and now she wanted my bride-to-be to do the same!


    Standing right beside Finneas, Megan was smiling with her mouth covered. She hade over to pick


    up her wedding gown. She had med Selena for the incident at the bar, and even told Finneas that


    she was acquainted with the president of the JNS Corporation, which was how she managed to


    assuage him.


    The Lake Family’s business was in the textile industry, and they had wanted an engagement with the


    Yards because the Yards were running a leading brand in the fashion industry. If the two families could


    join hands, it would be a win-win situation for them.


    Sadly, in the past few years, the Yards’ brands were going downhill, and the Lakes could only seek to


    coborate with bigger brands out there. When Forever Gown started to grow in Astoria, many textile


    manufacturers wanted a piece of the pie, and that included Lake Corporation as well.


    If they partnered with Forever Gown and utilized it as a springboard to prate Springvale’s market,


    in the future, Lake Corporation would grow healthily, and Finneas’s status as the family heir would be


    unshakeable.


    Finneas had dreamed of getting a partnership with JNS Corporation. Therefore, when Megan


    mentioned that she’d pick up her gown, he immediately put everything aside and followed her to the


    store to try his luck. To his dismay, the first thing he ran into was Selena Yard, the shameless b*tch!


    Upon seeing his face, Selena sneered with a hint of mockery, which was mostly directed at herself.


    How did I get blinded by love and fell for a man like him?


    “Evil? Scheming? I don’t think I deserve those adjectives.” She lifted her chin and red threateningly


    at Megan. “Those are for describing thedy beside you.”


    At this point, Selena’s stare could almost burn holes right through Megan.


    She was agitated at the thought of Megan grabbing Juniper’s hair and pping Juniper, and she badly


    wanted to tear Megan into pieces. However, the timing was not right—a physical assault would only


    y out in Megan’s favor.


    “Selena, what nonsense is that? Did I somehow offend you again?”


    “Offend me? Did you not know? You grabbed my daughter in the bakery and pped her. Have you


    forgotten about that in the blink of an eye? Shall I show you the footage to refresh your memory?”


    Megan hurriedly wrapped her arm around Finneas’s and exined herself, “Finneas, she’s not telling


    the truth. That day, I was only buying some cake for Juniper at the bakery since she’s my niece.


    Unfortunately, not only did she not ept my kindness, but she also bit me until I bled! I was too angry


    and hit her in the heat of the moment.”


    “You don’t need to exin yourself. A sl*t like her will never raise a good daughter!” Finneas was still


    furious at Selena. “Selena Yard, tell me, how do you n to make up for drugging my woman?”


    “How do you n to make up for this?” Selena pointed at her swollen cheek. “I can call the police to


    have you arrested, Finneas Lake.”


    This was the first time she had addressed him by his full name. It sounded very stiff and unnatural.


    Hearing that, Finneas chuckled, grabbed some bills from his wallet, and pped them on her face.


    “Is that enough for you? If it’s not enough, should I give you more?” He was wearing a sardonic smile


    on his face as the bills fluttered in the air andnded on the floor.


    At that time, everyone in the store came over to witness the debacle. The sight of Finneas insulting


    Selena made Megan feel gleeful. However, Selena did not seem angered at all. Instead, she crossed


    her arms and said to him, “That’s not enough.”


    He took out a stack of bills from his wallet and flung them on her face again. “How about these?”


    “Still not enough,” she replied calmly. He took out more bills from his wallet. At that moment, the floor


    was already scattered with the bills from before.


    “Selena Yard, I bet you must have earned an insane amount from selling your body these years, huh?


    You’re not satisfied with a small amount anymore, and you’re demanding an exorbitant amount. Am I


    right?”


    Now, Finneas had finished throwing all the bills in his wallet, but Selena remained unbothered.


    “As the young master of Lake Corporation and its future heir, do you only carry this little with you?


    That’s too shameful,” she mocked him.


    “You—” Finneas did not n to expose his identity at the store because he had been acting rudely, and


    he would be negatively affected by any rumors that got out. He had not expected Selena to announce


    his identity to everyone.


    “You’re really something, Selena Yard! Sure, let’s go to extremes; I will show you how I do it! Ladies


    and gentlemen, take a good look at this woman here! She is my ex-girlfriend and a childhood friend of


    seven years. How did it end? I made a trip abroad, and during my absence, she could not stand the


    loneliness and slept with other men. Not only that, she got pregnant with a b*stard child!”


    Finneas’s voice was loud; it was as if he wanted the entire store to hear him.

    “This b*tch even shamelessly nned to im that I’m the father of the child. Isn’t she shameless?”


    Staring at Finneas’s face, Selena felt like pping herself for her horrible taste in men. Back then, she


    had thought of Finneas as a gentleman with a mild character. By the looks of it now, he was no different


    from a street thug.


    “Is that all you have to say?” She was unperturbed, which surprised him, and he started to feel


    embarrassed by his intense behavior.


    “Young Master Lake, if that’s all you want to say, shall we discusspensation now? How much will


    youpensate me for pping me on my face? As I have told you before, these bills are not enough


    for me.”


    “F*ck! I will only give you that much! B*tch! Take it or leave it! Why don’t you sue me? Selena Yard, I’d


    like to see what you can do about this. Sue me! Just do it! You don’t even stand a chance to win a


    lawsuit against me with your background!”


    Megan took his arm and soothed him, “Calm down. She’s not worth getting angry about. After all, you


    know her character very well.”


    “What if she sues you with my help?” An imposing voice boomed from the store entrance.
