The Girlfriend Selection - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 On the day of the wedding, the estate was packed with guests. That invitation had been sent to Fred on purpose. Iknew he had been looking for me, so I gave him exactly what he wanted: a front-row seat to my wedding. Soft music filled the air as Easton and I faced each other and exchanged vows. Just as we were about to exchange rings, a voice cut through the moment. "T object!" Fred rushed forward like he had lost his mind. Every head turned. He stared straight at me, his eyes wild, almost unhinged. "Hannah, you're my girlfriend! We were together for five years.

How can you just marry someone else, like it means nothing? I know you're just mad at me. I'll change, I swear. I've already cut Ayla off. I don't even talk to those guys anymore. Let's go home, okay?" He was breathing hard, reaching for me. Easton stepped in front of him, blocking him without hesitation. Ilooked at Fred and let out a small, cold laugh. "Which part of 'we're done' do you not understand? It's over between us. Who I marry now has nothing to do with you." "Over? That's impossible!" he shouted, his voice breaking. " You loved me for five years. You don't just move on like that.

And him?" He pointed at Easton. "What is he to you? Does he even know what you were like before? Does he know you had nothing? He's been fooled by you!" He turned on Easton, his expression twisted. "Don't fall for her. She had nothing. She lived off me the whole time. She's only after money. She'd do anything for it!" Easton didn't react. He just looked at Fred calmly, almost like he was looking at something pitiful. Murmurs spread through the crowd, followed by quiet laughter. "Mr. Thompson," someone said from below the stage, "you still don't get it, do you?" "Get what?

That she's a liar?" Fred snapped back. Before I could speak, my father stepped up beside me. His voice carried across the entire venue, steady and unmistakable. "| think there's something you need to understand. Hannah is my daughter." The room fell silent. "She is the sole heir to our family group. Five years ago, she chose to go abroad without revealing her identity. I respected that decision." Now, she's home. As chairman, I'm announcing today that my daughter, Hannah Newman, will take over our entire family business!"
