Female Novel
Chapter 108
“There’s nothing.” Linda noticed that Selena still seemed to be trembling.
Selena then drove home. Throughout the entire drive, her mind was filled with images of Rolandwhipping her with his belt ever since she was young. After her mother’s demise, those were heronly memories of her father. Before she’d realized it, tears had long since streamed down her face.
The moment she alighted from the car when she arrived home, she glimpsed a car parked in frontof her house. As she got out of the car, she then spotted a man standing at her door. In the nextmoment, the man looked back and flashed her a smile, his smile as bright as it was back then—itwas Finneas.
On the second floor next door, Pierre happened to be bored. When he stood before the window, heinstantly caught sight of the old flames standing there.
“You’re back?” Finneas’ voice carried a tenderness of an eternity ago.
It’d been a long time since Selena had heard him speak to her so gently that it felt as though she’dgone back several lifetimes. “Is something the matter?” Nonetheless, she kept her expression frigid.
“Not really. I thought I’d make a mistake when I saw you in the community that day, but I finally gotto know today that you’re really living here.” Finneas wore an exceedingly amiable smile. It was asthough they were merely old friends who were meeting up, and nothing had ever happenedbetween them.
As Selena stared at him, she spaced out slightly. Back in school, he was an acknowledged dandyand gentleman. I’d thought so as well back then, but now, I only find him repulsive!
The atmosphere between the two of them was a tad awkward. Finneas, especially, felt ratherembarrassed because he’d shamelessly come to seek Selena out. After a long while, he again
spoke, saying, “Selena, I’ve already investigated the incident back then. It wasn’t your fault, butMegan’s. She drugged you and dumped you into a man’s bed. Then, she came over to me and saidthat you slept with another man. She planned everything.”
At this moment, Selena could seemingly see his expression back when he disdained her from hisface. “So?”
Forcing a smile, Finneas walked forward. “I’ve wronged you, Selena. No, it’s Megan who wrongedyou. However, I’ve also wronged you for having misunderstood you.”
“And that’s it?” It was a narrow escape for me back when I was with child and went into prematurelabor. Then, my two sons even died, and I was banished from the family, left to drift about outside.Every second of every day, I was risking my life. And he wants to wipe the slate clean with a mereapology?
“No. I know I’m steeped in guilt. I shouldn’t have believed Megan back then. Rather, I should’vebelieved you. It’s all on me. I’m the one at fault. Selena, please give me an opportunity to make it upto you. I want to start over with you!” Finneas gazed at Selena with all the affection in the world.
“So, you want to make it up to me by relegating me to being a mistress?” Selena sneered. “FinneasLake, you’re married.”
Finneas hastily shook his head. “I can get a divorce. Selena, I can get a divorce for your sake.”novelbin
He then stepped forward and grabbed her hand, only to have Selena shake him off in utterrepugnance. “Alright, then. My question is, if I weren’t the president of JNS Corporation, would youstill get a divorce for my sake?”
Finneas was stunned, but just when he was about to answer, Selena continued, “JNS Corporationmade its debut on Fortune 500 in just four years, and I snagged a spot on Forbes World’s
Billionaires List. Haven’t you ever considered how I did that? If I were to say that I have a manbacking me up, would you still say that to me?”
Finneas’ jaw dropped, and his eyes bugged. If she’s telling the truth, and she only became thepresident of JNS Corporation with a man supporting her at the back, she won’t get together with anyother man!
