There were people who could easily command attention with their voice, and Pierre Fowler was one of them. Everyone in the store could not help but look at him.

At the entrance, he showed up looking smart and elegant in activewear. The moment he stepped into the store, the air around him seemed to have frozen. He strolled over to Selena and put his arm around her shoulders. "Are you okay?"

Her left cheek was swollen and red from the slap, but even her right cheek was flushed now. In that instance, everything around her felt surreal. "I'm fine."

"How could you be fine? Your cheek is swollen."

Upon seeing the man, Finneas perked up and observed him. Despite the man's authoritative aura, Finneas straightened his back due to his inflated ego and scoffed. With Selena Yard's background and personality, how good could her man be?

He coughed and interrupted them, "Well, well, I didn't expect you to get a new partner in no time! You're loose indeed." As if that was not enough, he shot Selena a

    Finneas knew that Pierre was insulting him, but he could not explode in anger.Right now, Lake Corporation needed help to get itself out of the dire situation. He had to lower himself and get the support of JNS Corporation. Knowing that many companies in Astoria were competing for JNS Corporation's partnership, he could not afford to put dignity before opportunity. Otherwise, he would lose out in the stiff competition."I was too rash just now. It's all my fault. I'll treat you to a meal one day and apologize formally to Selena. How does that sound? Hmm... Forget about picking a date. Let's make it today!"Pierre finally set his gaze on Finneas. "A formal apology? Alright. I'd love to see how you're going to apologize for slapping her."Selena had been staring intently at Finneas all the time.Indeed, she wished to see how low Finneas could stoop in order to partner with JNS Corporation.At that time, Finneas started to feel ashamed.He did something abominable-slapping Selena.

    Finneas finished picking up the bills, straightened his back, and handed the money to Selena. “Selena, didn’t you say that these are not enough? How much do you want? I will prepare the amount later.”Gazing into his ‘sincere’ eyes, she was momentarily speechless. Pierre unexpectedly accepted the stack of bills and said, “Alright.”Finneas instantly beamed at him, thinking that everything was settled. “In this case—”Before he could finish his sentence, Pierre slapped the bills back onto his face. “She will get any amount of money she needs from me. She doesn’t need your money.”The bills hit Finneas on the face, but he bit his lip and smiled widely.“President Lake, you’re quite resilient. I’m in awe of you. So, alright, we shall consider this issue settled,” Pierre remarked.After hearing that, Finneas finally let out a huge sigh of relief. His endurance and efforts had not gone to waste. He commented, “We got to know each other better through this misunderstanding. Next time, I sha

    Holly Adams appeared unsettled by Megan’s personal question. “Well, Miss Yard, it’s not a good idea to ask me that. You will put me in a tight spot.” She had a troubled expression on her face.“What’s so secretive about it?” Megan blew on her coffee. “Miss Adams, My friends are all single. When they get hitched, I’ll refer them to your store for tailored luxury gowns. Does that sound good?”“If so, I will be very grateful to you.” Holly bit her lips and answered, “Miss Yard, I will tell you the truth. The man you met in the store today is not the president of JNS Corporation.”Megan’s eyes widened in surprise, and she sat up straight. “What did you say?”“Well, I am in a difficult position too. I received orders from our president to put on a show, and I was to introduce the man as our president since no one truly knew the identity of the real president anyway. As for a reason behind this, our president did not elaborate more. I guess the man could be a friend of the president, and th

    Pierre then carried the child in his arms. At that moment, the tall man revealed his gentle and caring side to Juniper, while she became more expressive and outgoing because of the man. Soon, the kid was seen chuckling, holding the man’s finger. “Hey, that’s cheating! No way! You’re cheating!”Meanwhile, at the sight of their touching interaction, the heartwarming scene soon moved Selena to tears. Juniper must have wanted to have a father so badly, even though she has never spoken her mind about that at all. It was only then that Selena recalled seeing her daughter’s drawing during her art class. It was an artwork that depicted a scenario in which a family of three was dining together.Although Selena had never thought about committing to another relationship, she felt a strong urge to build a family for her daughter. She then wiped off her tears and headed downstairs, followed by Pierre and Juniper a few moments later. Then, the lady pretended as if nothing had ever happened, placing

    “Wait a minute! I think I’ve just figured it out!” At that moment, something seemed to cross Jameson’s mind. “Jojo, do you think this could be the wedding ring that Dad wants to give Mom? Oh, dear! What is he gonna do without the ring now that it’s with me?”Nevertheless, Jameson’s words were met with silence, as Joaquin only stared at the ring in silence. “Well, people buy a ring to propose. Since Mom and Dad are not married yet, could Dad be planning to propose to Mom?”Jameson gently thumped his head and beat himself up. “Oh, man! I shouldn’t have taken the ring! Dad is gonna be so mad when he realizes his ring is missing.”“Just go to bed now. Keep the ring somewhere safe and give it back to him later on.” Joaquin lay down on the bed straight away.Meanwhile, Jameson put the ring back into the case and said, “Dad is not good at sweet-talking, so I wonder how he’s gonna propose to Mom. In fact, I think I could do better if I were in his place. Anyway, is Mom gonna cry when she sees

    Meanwhile, Megan rejoiced at the sight of Selena’s hesitancy. This matter is getting out of hand, but the poor lady has no idea that I’m just putting on a show all the time. I can’t wait to see how she cleans up the mess.“I don’t have a say in this matter.” Selena’s voice still sounded cold as it had always been from the beginning.“Oh, come on! You both are a couple, so I’m sure your words carry some weight, don’t they? Furthermore, I heard he dotes you on quite a lot, so I think he’ll definitely listen to you,” Roland said and waved his hand.“That’s right. I can tell that he really dotes on you too. Unless you’re still mad at Dad or me, you would kindly lend us a hand, wouldn’t you? After all, we’re a family, right?”“Exactly! We’re a family, and that’s why we should bear no grudge against each other. Please tell him that we’d like to dine together someday. In fact, when Meredith becomes a Fowler, he and Pierre will be in-laws by then. Thus, I’d say this is promising to him!” Rola

    At that moment, Pierre’s eyes widened in shock when he recalled the wedding ring that Niall had prepared for him. Oh jeez! I nearly forgot about the ring! I was supposed to grant Juniper’s birthday wish by proposing to her mother, but it slipped my mind ever since her abduction.I remember putting it in my car, but I don’t remember seeing it when I was driving earlier today. No one else has taken my ride except my boys. Thus, if the ring goes missing, that could only mean… At the thought of that, Pierre stood up straight all of a sudden, leaving Juniper in confusion.“Relax, Mr. Handsome. You seem desperate to propose to Mom. Shh!” Juniper looked back and peeked at Selena. “Don’t ruin the surprise.”“Juniper, tell your mom that I need to leave for some urgent business.” “Alright, Mr. Handsome. Goodbye!”Pierre then walked out the door and made his way to his car as he began to search high and low for the ring. Soon, he knew that his memory served him right when he couldn’t find it any

    As soon as Pierre stepped into the mansion, the butler, Yoel, immediately walked up to him with a big smile. “Congratulations on your successful proposal, Young Master Pierre! You’re finally getting married!” Worried that his words might have sounded inappropriate, Yoel quickly added, “My apologies. I must have gotten carried away with my words since due to my happiness for you. You’re going to marry sooner or later anyway.”Pierre knitted his eyebrows after hearing the butler. “What’s going on?” I have a bad feeling about this. My boy must have taken the ring and fooled around with it.At that time, Meredith had already left, while John and Helen were discussing their son’s wedding. Upon seeing Pierre, the old man’s faint smile faded, and he returned to his usual stern self. “Since you’ve already proposed, we should go about the preparation for your wedding.”After hearing his father, Pierre knew that his guess was right. Meredith happened to visit earlier today, and I bet that littl

As the lady drove off and disappeared from his sight, he couldn’t help but feel a stab of pain deep down.At the same time, Meredith was watching the entire scenario from afar before going back to the hotel. Upon her return, she headed upstairs right away, not to the banquet hall but to the lounge to check on Megan. Meanwhile, the latter was crying at the top of her lungs so hard that her voice turned hoarse.She was then seen crazily ripping her wedding dress apart, even knocking all her cosmetics over from the table.

    "If you knew nothing about my purported affair with another man, why would you bring it up? Megan, we’re siblings. How could you side with the others? When I become the subject of slander, are you really going to smear my name as well?”“You! Your infidelity is a known fact. No one is slandering you! Not only did you sleep with another man, you even had his child! That little girl is proof of it! Do you think that you could start off anew as the president of JNS Corporation? No matter what title you hold, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a sl*t!” Megan roared at Selena at the top of her lungs.Megan’s behavior of calling her half-sister a sl*t made the guests question her character.Selena was calm in the face of Megan’s outburst. “I naively thought that Finneas was the father of the child I carried. I took great care of the baby, fearing that I would hurt her. But Finneas suddenly told me that he wanted a breakup because you were pregnant. Ah, I almost forgot about it. Your chi

    Selena paused in the middle of her speech. “The wedding of my half-sister and my childhood sweetheart.” The crowd stirred after she dropped the bomb. Wow, there is so much more drama going on. This wedding is too overwhelming!Neither Megan nor Finneas expected Selena to bring up the topic. After all, Selena’s reputation was also at stake, for she had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Despite that, she ended up confessing everything.“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 was very young and inexperienced in love. Our relationship was good, and we studied in the same class at the same school.”“When we were young, he was a handsome, gentle, and sophisticated boy. Back then, I always thought that he was the embodiment of the ideal man, worthy of all compliments. Since the engagement, my name has become synonymous with ‘Finneas’s girlfrien

    After delivering the demand, Roland immediately left Selena’s side and returned to his seat. Pierre was seated not far away from her and stole a glance at her. It happened that she was looking at him too.Their eyes met, but none of them looked away. Finally, she snorted and retracted her gaze. Outside the room, Juniper flung Joaquin’s hand away. “I don’t need you to lead me around!”He turned around and stared at her with his usual aloof expression. “You all are liars! You and your dad are nothing but liars!” She glared fiercely at him.He had nothing to say because they had indeed lied to Selena and Juniper. Earlier, Pierre had instructed the twins to tell the same story; he even introduced their surname as Moody.“Do you think I’ll be grateful to you after you saved me today? I won’t!” Then, she left in a fit of rage. At that moment, Linda finally found Juniper. “Gosh, little girl, where did you go?”“Let’s leave, Miss Linda.” Juniper took Linda’s hand, and before she left, she tur

    “Pierre and Selena!” Megan said in an agitated manner. “When I was in Forever Gown, I saw Pierre with the twins. Selena called him ‘Hubby’ and even said that they were her kids!”In an instant, Meredith’s mind buzzed. I can’t believe that the woman is Selena! I wouldn’t be afraid of any other women, but it must not be Selena!“She also said that Pierre was the President of JNS Corporation. After I stepped out of the shop, I realized that I had left my bag behind, so I returned and heard them saying that Pierre wasn’t really the president. Otherwise, why would I decide to expose their lies? They’ve partnered up to set me up!”Megan finally understood what was going on. “Merry, it’s apparent that Pierre and Selena are in an immoral relationship. Otherwise, why would he help her put on this show when he’s so busy?” Meredith’s legs turned to jelly when she heard that. “When did that happen? Was it before the event in the cake shop?” Meredith tried to sound calm so that she wouldn’t appea

  • Pursuing Miss CEO   Unknowingly Becoming A Mistress

    Pierre had proposed to Selena, and she was wearing the ring he had given her, but it was at this moment that she found out he was Pierre Fowler.“Pierre!” Roland called out and shuffled toward Pierre. “Please don’t take what just happened to your heart. It’s because Megan didn’t recognize you. You see, Merry and your sons are four years old, but we have never met before, which is the cause for the misunderstanding. So, we should meet up more.”Selena was flabbergasted when she heard what Roland said.She recalled that when she was in the Fowler Residence, she heard the housekeeper calling out ‘Young Master Jamie’, but she didn’t read too much into it at that time. So, the twin sons are the kids of Meredith and Pierre!At that instant, Selena was disgusted by the fact that he was Pierre Fowler, and on top of that, he also had kids with Meredith.I’ve unknowingly become a mistress! How revolting!Pierre shot a disdainful look at the old man and took a seat. Meanwhile, his bodyguards blo

    Just then, a group of bodyguards rushed over and stood in front of Pierre. “He’s a gigolo! Selena, President Lawrence has gotten into contact with the President of JNS Corporation before, so I’m sure that he can point out that the man isn’t the president. Will you wake up to reality?” Megan’s eyes welled up with tears as she was trying to pretend that she loved her sister.Finneas charged forward and landed a loud slap on Megan’s face. “What is wrong with you?!”After Megan was slapped, she stared at Finneas in disbelief, for she had never expected that he would slap her right in front of so many people at their wedding. Suppressing her tears, Megan said, “Finneas, do you still believe her? That man is a gigolo! I’ve done a proper investigation. He’s not the President of JNS Corporation. He’s a liar! My sister isn’t the president’s wife! I know you’re eager to cooperate with JNS Corporation, but—” “Enough!” Finneas growled. Megan shuddered in fright, for she had never seen him so fur

    Never once in Selena’s day had she forgotten about her father’s mean words. Roland’s face turned livid because that was exactly what he said to his daughter.Other guests traded glances upon hearing that. Judging from Roland’s expression, they figured that what Selena said was true. How ruthless could a father be to say such things to his daughter?“Miss Yard, come on. It’s not the time to talk about business. We haven’t met for a long time. Will you have a chat with me?” Zeke tried to smooth things over by changing the topic.“Sure.” Then, Selena ignored her father and shuffled toward Zeke. It was too embarrassing for Roland because he was humiliated by his daughter in front of so many powerful people.Just then, Megan, who was clad in a wedding dress, appeared at the venue, which stunned everyone. Typically, the bride would only appear at the venue after the emcee went on stage and made an introduction.Why did she come here on her own? Megan told her assistant to lift the hem for h

    "You have to bring her to the basement and make sure that no one will find her. Got it? After that, you’ll be rewarded duly,” Meredith said. The waiter nodded and turned to leave.Meanwhile, Juniper had lost her way and couldn’t return to the wedding hall because the place was huge. She was too happy to play with the twins just now, so she didn’t remember the route back to the hall.Just then, a waiter came over and inquired, “Kiddo, are you lost?” “Yeah, Mister. I’m lost. I’m looking for Mommy.”“Is your mommy here to attend the wedding?""Yeah!”“I’ll bring you to look for her now.” “Thanks, Mister!” Unsuspectingly, Juniper followed the waiter and left the place.A while later, however, her suspicion was aroused because they had reached a really dark place. “Mister, are we heading in the wrong way?”“No. You’ll see your mommy soon.” Juniper took a look at the waiter and turned to run away, but the waiter caught her immediately.“Help!
