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.
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.
In 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.
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…”
