Chapter 65 The Truth of Her Past

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 girlfriend'. To me, it was the greatest honor ever."

"For him, I could sacrifice anything. I gave up on my dreams in order to get a place in the university he attended. I didn't even have a life. My life revolved around him. I learned how to cook different cuisines, studied wine-tasting, and got into the art of coffee-making. I truly gave my best for him."

"Young love isn't always long-lasting. In most cases, people realize belatedly that they are not a good match. Despite our pledge of undying love, Finneas and I parted ways."

She took a deep breath and smiled widely, tears shining in her eyes, recalling her youth that was filled with memories of Finneas. Today, I'm finally putting an end to this relationship.

When Finneas heard Selena's innermost thoughts, he went through a struggle in his mind. It was true that he had once shared many beautiful memories with her. After all, they spent their youth with each other Standing beside him, Megan seethed with hatred, feeling sidestepped on an important day of her life. Hey, I'm the bride!

Beneath the stage, Pierre remained seated but looked upset. When he listened to Selena describing her childhood sweetheart, he felt that she still had some lingering feelings for Finneas, a thought which he didn't like at all.

"I'll just take it as if a wild bitch has snatched my pet mutt away. Birds of the same feather... No, sh*t of the same pile goes together, eh?" Selena's snide remark caused the crowd to give an audible collective gasp. "Finneas, I'm happy that you've found the love of your life-my sister, Megan Yard. I hereby 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 the crowd could clearly hear the innuendo behind her words.

"Ah, this is a fairytale of The Bitch and the Mutt," someone muttered subconsciously. Because the venue was relatively quiet, save for the soft music in the background, everyone heard that person's mumble loud and clear.

Despite the tense and embarrassing situation, the crowd erupted in laughter upon hearing the funny remark.

At this point, Megan lost her cool and verbally attacked Selena. "Shut up! You think you're holier than the others?" She grabbed the microphone from the host and yelled, "You made it sound like we were having an affair behind your back. But you should know what you've done. If you had not slept with 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.

"Did I sleep with another man? Dear sister, you should know about the 'other man' I slept with better than I do, shouldn't you?"

Megan's gaze suddenly wavered and dodged Selena's scrutiny. "You're slandering me! I knew nothing about it!"
