Chapter 325 - A Wrong Move

Ronan Simpson didn’t believe a word Finn Taylor was saying. ‘What would a piece of trash like him know? How dare he act as though he’s so smart? Let’s see what kind of story he’ll come up with. If he can’t say anything, I’ll use this to demand compensation from them. Isn’t your family rich anyway? Don’t you stay at Number One Pacific Heights? Great, I’ll make your family pay me in the millions, if not a billion. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you go to jail.’ 

‘Let’s see what you’ll do then, Finn Taylor. I wonder if you would spend a billion for Yvette Larson’s sake. Rumor has it that your relationship has improved and that you guys are loving, but I’m not buying that. Loving? Love only comes when you have the right background. Do you guys even match each other? You two are worlds apart! And do you know what will result from that? There’s only one outcome—nobody will care about you even if you die.’

“They say that your wife is pregnant.” Finn Taylor pointed at the other guests.

“My wife isn’t pregnant, and so what if she is? She’s already married.”

“Yes, it’s true that she’s already married. It’s fine for her to be pregnant, but have you ever thought about who the child’s father is?”

Ronan Simpson picked up the wine bottle, about to smash it against Finn Taylor’s head. “Finn Taylor, you better watch your words. Who else could be the father of my child?”

Finn Taylor smiled and took out a photo—in the photo, everyone could clearly see Rachel Kleine holding onto the arm of another man as they shopped. “Do you recognize this man? Don’t tell me that you’re the man in the photo.”

“This…” Ronan Simpson was stumped.

The whole venue erupted into an uproar. “That doesn’t look like Ronan Simpson.”

“What do you mean it doesn’t look like him? It isn’t him.”

“Do you mean that Rachel Kleine cheated on him?”

“Haha, I can’t be too sure about that.”

Every word was like a knife to his heart.

“Finn Taylor, he is Rachel’s relative.” Although Ronan Simpson didn’t recognize that man, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the injustice for now. He couldn’t possibly admit to his wife’s infidelity in front of all his friends and family.

“Oh, a relative.” Finn Taylor smiled and took out another photo. “Relative? They were sleeping on the same bed though.”

The photo in Finn Taylor’s hand depicted Rachel Kleine in bed with that man.

Ronan Simpson wanted to punch the other man, but he couldn’t. He had to follow through with his lie. “You’re overthinking it. Maybe they were tired and sat on the bed. It was cold that day, and that’s why they covered themselves with the quilt. I was there too.”

Ronan Simpson looked expectantly at the other, seeing if he had more evidence. He had already brought himself into the picture just to complete the lie.

To be honest, Finn Taylor had to give it up to Ronan Simpson for giving up his own dignity to help his wife. However, one eventually had to pay for their mistakes, and this was but the beginning for the latter.

“Ronan, oh Ronan. I really admire you. How do you explain this then?” Finn Taylor took out three photos at once.

The first was of Rachel Kleine heading to the hospital for a checkup with that man.

The second was a checkup that showed the child was healthy.

The last was the expected delivery date of the child.

“From the expected delivery date, I guess that she got pregnant in October. If I’m not wrong, you were overseas at that time.”

Ronan Simpson couldn’t rebut the other. What else could he say to convince everyone?

“Oh, right. If you think that it’s over, this is only the beginning. Here’s the record of your wife’s abortions. She had one in the first year of high school, the third year of high school, the first year of college, the second, the fourth, and two years after graduation. She’s had six in total.”

“I think you only got to know her in the third year after her graduation, right? I guess she got tired of fooling around and wanted to get married. Although you don’t earn much, you’re not that bad. Oh yes, your wife’s graduation certificate is also fake by the way. She didn’t graduate from a renowned college but a technical one.”

‘Fake. Fake. Everything is fake.’ That was the only word in Ronan Simpson’s mind.

Just then, his wife returned.

She was still unaware of the situation, and Yvette Larson turned to her. “Rachel, I heard that you graduated from one of the top colleges in the country. Can you help me search for information on the intranet?”

Without any hesitation, she replied, “What intranet are you talking about?”

‘Great, this just proves that whatever Finn Taylor said earlier was right. How could you not know about the intranet if you’re a graduate? You should know it like the back of your hand. It should be the most important thing while writing your thesis. How could you forget about something like that?’

“B*tch! You b*tch!”

Slap!

Ronan Simpson slapped his wife’s face viciously.

The latter was still in a daze. Even up until now, she still had no idea what had happened. ‘I just went to the washroom, and now, I’m being insulted!’ 

“Tell me what your highest educational qualifications are. How many times have you gotten abortions? Whose child are you carrying now?”

Rachel Kleine fell onto the ground, yet nobody stepped forward to help her. Nobody cared for someone as shameless as her.

“Ronan Simpson, stop scolding Rachel Kleine like you’re a good person.” Finn Taylor scoffed before taking a photo out; it was one of Ronan Simpson touching his secretary in the office. “Did you think that nobody would find out about your affair with your secretary? Both of you are scum; neither is better than the other.”

Ronan Simpson had put on an air of superiority up until a moment earlier, but there was nothing he could say now.

Right then, his phone rang. “Ronan Simpson, I’m officially informing you that you’ve been fired.”

He was left in a daze.

It was a call from his boss.

‘Why have I suddenly been fired?’

“Boss, w-why am I being fired?”

“What, did you think we’d never find out about your embezzlement? We’re conducting our investigations now. You can wait to be sued.”

Ronan Simpson crumbled onto the ground.
