Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 990
Intrinsically guilty to begin with, Susan’s contrite only grew when she heard what he said. “You were great to me,
but I’ve never felt that way for you. The one I love has always been Warren.”
“Then why did you come and seduce me twenty years ago?” Harrison’s eyes widened with rage.
Indeed, he started an affair with Susan all those years ago, but the truth was, it was Susan who initiated things by
coming onto him first.
That day, the project that he was in charge of went awry. Consequently, it was taken off his hands by an irate Yulia
whose decision received the firm support of the shareholders. Harrison was even castigated for insisting on
handling things himself as opposed to passing it over to her right from the beginning. He was also saddled with the
blame for the fallout that ensued.
Embarrassed, Harrison saw his male pride take a massive blow. He keenly felt those shareholders’ mockery and
disregard for him, and how they thought him less capable than his own wife.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn a fit of anger, he went off to the club where he shared a few drinks with his no-good friends. It was also there
that he met Susan Sullivan.
Susan was young and pretty, and capable of being demure and alluring in equal measure. That was something that
a career woman like Yulia could never muster.
She matched his ideal of what a woman should be like; one who existed to serve men. He thought that there was
no reason for a woman to compete with men in the corporate arena. In spite of Yulia being well aware that he was
a proud man, she purposefully showed him up in front of so many shareholders.
That really upset him and drove his desire to get back at her, and under Susan’s intentional enticement, he erred.
He had previously been panicky and perturbed afterward as he was worried that Yulia would discover his infidelity.
But mostly, the betrayal of his own wife thrilled him and made him feel a debased sense of superiority. Since you
won’t let me keep my dignity intact, Yulia Lawrence, then don’t blame me for letting you bear the shame of being
cuckolded.
This cocktail of excitement and superiority complex was addictive, and so he went to seek out Susan whenever he
was displeased with Yulia. Only with Susan was he able to regain the pride of a man and experience what it was like
to be master of the house. This was how he and Susan were acquainted.
Susan’s confession that she had never loved him thus came to him as quite a shock. “Why? For the money, of
course!” Susan twitched her lips. “Warren and I have been together since twenty years ago. Because we were born
poor, he and I sought to hook ourselves up with some wealthy people so that we may continue to stay and live in J
City.”
That made everything clear to Harrison. It was a pity that only his face was capable of movement after the stroke
he had suffered. “You… So the person you targeted was me?”
“That’s right. We’ve investigated many rich men in J City. Those who were too wealthy were out of our reach, and
those who had too little weren’t to our liking. In the end, we settled for you.”
Susan regarded the agitated Harrison with derision. “You were born humble like us and only able to establish Smith
Group by piggybacking on the rather well-to-do Yulia. To put it bluntly, you lived off on your own wife while
convincing yourself of your own greatness in spite of being as bereft of business acuity as you are. That was why
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou couldn’t stand that Yulia was more established than you are in the company and was jealous of her capability.”
“Rubbish!” Harrison’s grizzled face turned red with rage.
How could he be bereft of business acuity? How could he have been jealous of Yulia?
He dismissed those as the woman’s fabrications.
“Rubbish?” Susan had a hand over her mouth in a halfhearted attempt to suppress her own boisterous laughter.
“You should know better than anyone else whether that’s the truth, Harrison Smith, except that you’re just too
proud to admit it. Just like you keep telling yourself that it was you who made her Mrs. Smith when it was really you
who was riding on her tailcoats.”
“S-Shut up!” Harrison howled.
Susan rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to. Since you already found out about Warren and me, I’m going to let it all out
today. Like you, we came from a similar background, and likewise, we also refuse to accept our station in life. So we
understand perfectly how you think. We know that you can’t stand being outshone by Yulia and would only grow in
resentment of her. That’s why I used that as an entry point to get close to you, and predictably, it worked like a
charm…”
