Chapter 8 Her Husband?

  • "K-Kneel?" Even Yulia felt that this was a bit too much. "Miss Yard, um… This is a bit too much, right? Why not let her compensate you for the clothes?"
  • "You think a lowly person like her can afford to pay for this?" Megan fiddled with her freshly manicured nails and sneered at Selena. “It’s kind enough of me to let you just wipe it.”
  • Naturally, Yulia knew Megan’s identity as the young mistress of the Yard Family. She was also soon to be part of the Lake Family, so Yulia could not afford to offend her. Furthermore, this was her first day of work, and she could not lose her job because of this matter. Besides, Miss Yard didn’t ask me to kneel either, so whatever! "Hey, you should quickly wipe Miss Yard clean! If you offend her, you won’t be able to get away with it!"
  • Selena never thought that even after four years, Megan was still as conceited as ever. In fact, she had become even worse than before.
  • In the meantime, Megan looked haughtily at Selena. She could guess how miserable Selena’s life had probably been. That woman was reduced to nothing after leaving the Yard Family, and she hadn't even graduated from university. Also, she was bogged down by a daughter, so she was probably lucky just to be alive.
  • Just when Megan was waiting for Selena to kneel down and wipe her clothes, she suddenly felt something hot pouring down her head! She immediately stood up with a scream. It turned out that Selena had poured the rest of her coffee directly on top of Megan's head! "Selena, have you gone crazy?! You shrew!"
  • In response, Selena put the disposable cup in her hand directly onto the table. "Shrew? That’s still better than a b*tch who steals other people's men."
  • "You!" Yulia hurriedly brought some tissue over. "Miss Yard, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!” Then, she turned to Selena. “Are you out of your mind?!”
  • Megan wiped the coffee off her face messily. Looking at Selena's smug face, she quickly calmed down again. "Yes, so what if I stole your man? It was your own fault to be unable to keep your man by your side. How could you blame others? I guess all you can do is to splash a cup of coffee on me. What else are you capable of?"
  • Megan mockingly smiled and continued, "You're just jealous of me, right? You’re jealous that I will soon become part of the Lake Family, and you… Well, what are you even? You've gotten knocked up by a random man, and you have a daughter who drags you down with her needs… All you can do are just some odd jobs around here. You're a wretch who can't get married for the rest of your life!"
  • At this moment, the automatic glass doors swung open. A man in a black suit stood at the door, his body exuding an indifferent chill, making him look like an emperor who ruled the world. Once he entered the door, everything around him was eclipsed by him.
  • Also, the two little ones beside him were simply two smaller versions of him. As the three of them stood in the doorway, they looked like part of a beautiful painting!
  • A trace of astonishment flashed across Selena’s eyes. She did not know how or why this man with his two kids had chased her all the way here, but since they had come, she decided to put them to good use.
  • "Hubby!" Selena grinned cheerfully before walking up to Pierre and taking his arm.
  • Megan’s eyes widened as she stared at Selena and the man who had just entered the room. Until now, Pierre Fowler had never appeared in public, so no one knew what he really looked like, and no media dared to publish his picture either. Although Megan's sister, Meredith, was already his soon-to-be wife, Megan still hadn't seen him before because Pierre had never been to the Yard Residence at all! Upon seeing such a handsome man, Megan was also surprised. Did she just call him her husband?
  • Meanwhile, Selena winked at Pierre, then at the two boys beside him. Then, she took Pierre's arm and came up to Megan.
  • "Let me introduce to you my husband," Selena said. After a deliberate pause, she continued, "He’s the president of JNS Corporation."
  • When Yulia heard this introduction, she almost staggered back in shock. He’s the president of JNS Corporation, also known as my top boss? After all, Forever Gown is under JNS Corporation! Oh sh*t, I’ve gone and offended the president's wife!
  • At the side, Megan was also shocked beyond words. The legendary president of JNS Corporation had never made his or her identity known; the public didn’t even know if the president was a man or a woman. Megan didn't expect the president of JNS Corporation to be so handsome, and what was even more outrageous was that he was Selena’s husband!
  • Besides, she could not afford to offend JNS Corporation. Even though this company had only been listed last year, its market value had exceeded Lake Family's company by large, let alone the value of the Yard Family. In fact, Finneas had always intended to befriend the president of JNS Corporation to seek a partnership.
  • At the sight of this, the corners of Megan's lips twitched a bit uncontrollably. "W-What about them?" She was pointing at the two little ones.
  • "These are my twin sons. They are three years old this year."
  • Upon hearing that, Yulia hurriedly came forward to Pierre and bowed deeply. "President, sorry. I-I-I really didn’t know th-that th-this i-is..."
  • "You’re fired." Pierre parted his thin lips slightly, his tone so cold and indifferent that it could freeze people into ice statues.
  • When Selena heard that, she raised her eyes to glance at this man. I have to admit that this man is really very suitable to act as a domineering president. Hehehe.
  • Meanwhile, Yulia slumped to the ground in dejection.
  • "Mommy, who is this ugly woman? Why is she in our store? Why does her hair look like instant noodles? Is she a beggar?" Jameson immediately squeezed in between Pierre and Selena, taking his father’s position and holding Selena's hand instead.
  • In response, Pierre took a glance at his own son. How dramatic this boy is!
  • As soon as Megan heard the boy’s words, she felt so mortified that she wished the ground would swallow her up! She had permed her hair into the trendiest curls, but the cup of coffee poured upon it by Selena had gotten it wet and all messed up!
  • "Darling, don't say that."
  • "Mommy taught me to be a good and kind child." After saying that, Jameson took out a coin from his pocket and walked up to Megan. While forcing it into her hand, he said, "You're so pitiful. Well, go buy some food with this."
  • Megan looked at the coin in her hand and felt anger bubbling up in her. How insulting! I am the young mistress of the Yard Family, and I am going to be part of the Lake Family very soon, yet I am treated like a beggar by a child!
  • "Ah!!" So much shame and annoyance! With a scream, she rushed out of the bridal boutique.
  • "Pfft!" Selena laughed out loud, then she pinched Jameson's face. "You're fantastic! Kudos to you!"
  • Finally, the store manager hurriedly came down from upstairs. "President Yard, this..."
  • "You guys go outside first and wait for me. I'll be right over."
  • Then, Selena and the store manager went upstairs together. The latter did not know what had happened, so she immediately reported about the boutique situation. The store managers of all the stores of Forever Gown were personally selected by Selena, so they were all people she trusted.
  • After understanding the situation and giving some more instructions, Selena went downstairs.
  • Pierre was standing at the door waiting for Selena, while the two children were in the car. "There is something that I don’t understand. Why didn’t you just bring up your identity as the president of JNS Corporation? Why drag me into this?"
  • Selena gave him a sidelong glance. “How did you know my identity?”
