Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 158

After being ridiculed time and again, Finneas was utterly frustrated, and he looked around the place. Subsequently, he picked up a flower pot on the side and lunged at Pierre, aiming it at his head.

As though he had expected it, Pierre dodged, causing Finneas to topple onto the floor with the flower pot still in his hands and end up covering his face in the soil.

Selena, who was unguarded when Pierre pushed her aside, slammed into the wall and hit her head painfully. When Pierre heard her sucking in a deep breath of air in pain, he glared at Finneas on the ground.

“I hate it the most when someone pulls a sneak attack from behind.”

With his face covered in dirt, Finneas scrambled to his feet and shouted, “Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!”

“Fine.”

With that, Pierre beat him to the ground again neatly and quickly. This time, however, he didn’t show any mercy and landed each punch on Finneas accurately, with a few punches landing on his face.

All beaten up and bruised, Finneas lay on the ground motionlessly. Sensing something amiss, Selena hurriedly pulled Pierre back. “That’s enough. Stop hitting him.”

Seeing that she was pleading on his behalf, Pierre became even more infuriated and gave Finneas a hard kick before storming out of the place. After calling an ambulance for Finneas, Selena went after Pierre immediately. Whatever it was, she had already done her best for the beaten up man.

Meanwhile, Pierre didn’t start the engine right after getting into the car. When he saw Selena chasing after him outside the restaurant, he thought he would settle scores with her once she got into the car. He was merely gone for a few minutes and it was enough for her to hook up with Finneas again! Not only that, she even pleaded for him! How could this woman side with him? It’s about time I lecture her!

After glancing at the time, Selena saw that Juniper’s lesson would be over soon, so she had to go and pick her up. Hence, she shouted at Pierre, “I’m going to pick up Juniper. You go ahead first!” Then, she left the spot hurriedly.

Usually, during the Royal Auction, the bidders would be placed in different rooms, and their names would be replaced with codenames to avoid some disputes which might arise.

Selena and Linda were placed in room number 18, which had a big screen in the middle of the room displaying the main platform of the auction.

Soon, the auction started and the items in the beginning didn’t catch Selena’s interest at all, until the jade bracelet appeared.

“This is the last item for our auction today. It’s a jade bracelet with hundreds of years of history behind it. It initially came in a pair, but we only have one for the auction today,” the host explained. Then, he went on to elaborate on the history of the bracelet in detail, and this was also the first time that Selena was learning about the origin of her mother’s bracelet.

Apparently, the jade bracelet started off as a royal jewelry and was a favorite item of the queen. Later, it was bestowed to a great minister, who then gave it to his son, who in turn passed it on to his wife, and it became a family heirloom which was passed down for generations.
