“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 wasvery young and inexperienced in love. Our relationship was good, and we studied in the same classat the same school.”
“When we were young, he was a handsome, gentle, and sophisticated boy. Back then, I alwaysthought that he was the embodiment of the ideal man, worthy of all compliments. Since theengagement, my name has become synonymous with 'Finneas's girlfriend'. To me, it was thegreatest honor ever.”
“For him, I could sacrifice anything. I gave up on my dreams in order to get a place in the universityhe attended. I didn't even have a life. My life revolved around him. I learned how to cook differentcuisines, studied wine-tasting, and got into the art of coffee-making. I truly gave my best for him.”

Selena's snide remark caused the crowd to give an audiblecollective gasp. “Finneas, I’m happy that you've found the love of your life—my sister, Megan Yard. Ihereby send you my best wishes, and I wish for everlasting happiness in your marriage.”
Selena had purposely put a heavy emphasis on the words ‘b*tch’ and ‘mutt’, so everyone in thecrowd could clearly hear the innuendo behind her words.
“Ah, this is a fairytale of The Bitch and the Mutt,” someone muttered subconsciously. Because thevenue was relatively quiet, save for the soft music in the background, everyone heard that person'smumble loud and clear.
Despite the tense and embarrassing situation, the crowd erupted in laughter upon hearing the funnyremark.
At this point, Megan lost her cool and verbally attacked Selena. "Shut up! You think you're holierthan the others?" She grabbed the microphone from the host and yelled, “You made it sound like wewere having an affair behind your back. But you should know what you've done. If you had not sleptwith other men when Finneas went abroad, would he have dumped you?”
In the face of the malicious accusation, Selena remained composed because she saw this coming.

Megan's gaze suddenly wavered and dodged Selena's scrutiny. “You're slandering me! I knewnothing about it!”
