Chapter 206 A Perfect Match
Yuliana and Jared had been in a relationship for three years, yet during this time, they had no intimate contact beyond holding hands.
As best friends, Sallie was very clear about that.
So, while she was advising Yuliana to be reserved and maintain her dignity, telling her not to give herself to a man before marriage, she was secretly courting Jared. In the end, she successfully ended up with him.
That could be considered the standard procedure for modern besties.
Then, she was accusing Yuliana of being a hypocrite. Yuliana wanted to curse back, but her excellent upbringing left her at a loss for how to insult and retort someone.
Seeing that, Sallie became even more satisfied. “But thanks to Jared for choosing me. Otherwise, how could he have achieved what he has today? Did you know? Jared is now the deputy CEO of Howard Group’s Jadeborough branch! Would your old-fashioned grandpa have paved the way for Jared’s future if he continued to be with you?”
At that point, Sallie, far from being ashamed, hugged Jared proudly and asked, “So, are you regretting not giving yourself to Jared sooner?”
The usually reticent Yuliana was so angry that her eyes turned red.
Finnegan tightened his grip on her hand, having a basic understanding of the situation then.
Taking another look at Sallie’s face, then turned to Jared, who wore a proud expression and remained silent.
A playful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “You’re absolutely right. It’s a perfect match indeed, all thanks to Yuliana being abandoned! He’s a man who’s willing to compromise his principles to be a kept man, and you’re a woman who can accompany old men for the sake of a kept man’s future. You two truly are a match made in heaven.”
As Jared’s expression changed, Finnegan lowered his head in gratitude. “Thank you both for shamelessly getting together. It allowed Yuliana to escape from her misery early on, staying away from the kept man and the shameless best friend!”
Sallie retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Her mind was in utter chaos. How does this guy know?
Indeed, she had accompanied men old enough to be her father or even her grandfather for the sake of Jared’s future.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Jared to join Howard Group just a few years after graduating from university, let alone become the deputy CEO of a subsidiary with an annual salary of millions.
Yet, no one knew about that matter except for Jared.
Finnegan feigned surprise. “Did I say something wrong? You’ve been accompanying the old man in charge of recruitment just so this kept man could get a job. Then, for his promotion, you’ve been with a few older

men over the past two years. Did I get that wrong?”
When Jared and the others showed expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and Yuliana looked stunned, Finnegan let out a light sigh.
“You truly are a good woman! But what a pity…” Finnegan pointed at Jared and said to Sallie with a regretful expression, “He only wants to use your body to pave the way for his brilliant life. He has never thought of marrying you. Being with Yuliana was only because he valued that Yuliana’s grandfather is one of the top ten miracle doctors in Loang!”
Sallie’s face turned pale. She blurted out, “How could you possibly know all this?”
Only after speaking did she realize something, so she retorted, “You’re talking nonsense. None of these things happened at all.”
She tugged at Jared anxiously, asking, “Darling, you’re not using me, are you? You will definitely marry me, won’t you?” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jared’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and the look he gave Finnegan was filled with both apprehension and annoyance. How on earth did this b*stard find out?
He was born and raised in the countryside, and he knew well that his future would be limited if he only relied on himself.
So, he took advantage of Sallie. Initially, when he pursued Yuliana, it was because he valued that her grandfather was Jerome.
He was hoping to change his fate through a woman.
However, Jared was a man of strategy and cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have endured three years without touching Yuliana. “Baby, been together for over two years. Don’t you know whether my love for you is genuine? How could I not
Maou?”.
Sallie nodded emphatically. “Exactly. If you truly had no intention of marrying me, how could we have possibly been together for two years?”
“Brat, you’re despicable. You’re spouting nonsense just to stand up for Yuliana,” Sallie said to Finnegan.
In response, Finnegan let out a quiet sigh. Sallie is truly pitiful yet detestable. This is the typical case of being betrayed yet still helping the traitor.
Jared gave Finnegan a deep look. Pulling Sallie along, he said, “People who talk nonsense like this aren’t worth our anger. Let’s go in first. I heard that Ms. Langdon and several other young ladies are having a gathering here tonight. It’s a great opportunity to build relationships.”
“Wait!” Finnegan called out to stop them.
Sallie thundered, “You’re a nobody! What else do you want to say? We’re not going to listen. You’re just talking nonsense.”
Finnegan squinted his eyes and said, “Whether you are genuine or just disgustingly cozying up, it doesn’t
matter.”
Pulling the stunned Yuliana to the front, he added, “But you can’t ignore the harm you’ve done to Yuliana.

Apologize to her, and I won’t pursue it any further. After all, you guys being together are doing everyone a favor!”
If the two of them were to part ways, innocent people would end up getting hurt.
Jared sneered, “Brat, you puzzle me, but an apology is out of the question. She kept me at arm’s length for three years despite our love. It’s only natural that I moved on. No one owes anyone an apology!”
Sallie scoffed and chimed in, “Exactly. My darling is a normal man. The fact that he could restrain himself for three years without touching Yuliána already makes him an exceptional man. If anyone should apologize, it should be Yuliana for making my darling hold back for three years.”
With a flushed face, Yuliana scolded, “Shameless!”
Finnegan patted Yuliana’s shoulder to calm her down. At that moment, he was also gradually losing patience with the two. “Are you sure you won’t apologize?”
Jared sneered, “What’s wrong with that?”
“Howard Group, deputy CEO of the Jadeborough branch?” Finnegan questioned.
Jared said proudly, “You’re envious, aren’t you? It’s a pity that this is an achievement you’ll never reach in your lifetime.”
“You won’t be for long.” Finnegan took out his phone and directly dialed Mandy’s number. “Where are you? I’ll give you five minutes. A guy named Jared Webb, who’s flaunting his position as the deputy CEO of Howard Group’s Jadeborough branch, is really getting on my nerves!”
After finishing his words, Finnegan hung up the phone.
Sallie snapped back with a mocking smile, “Yuliana, where did you find such a gem? He looks like he’s worth less than a hundred bucks from head to toe, yet he acts as if he’s some big shot while on the phone,”
Jared didn’t think Finnegan was capable, his face full of scornful laughter. “Isn’t it great that some people are willing to play the fool for our amusement?”
Sallie nodded. “Yes. Let’s watch the clown’s performance and see who he can summon within five minutes.”
“Finnegan?” Yuliana called, pulling on Finnegan.
She knew what Finnegan was capable of, but she didn’t want him to offend others on her behalf.
Finnegan absentmindedly pinched her nose. “You’re mine. If you’re wronged, it’s as if I’m wronged. How could I tolerate that?”
Yuliana’s face turned red as she lowered her head, her heart thumping faster and faster.
Upon seeing that, both Jared and Sallie couldn’t help but scoff, leaning against the car and chatting.
After a while, Sallie glanced at the time and scoffed. “Almost five minutes have passed. It seems-”
Right then, Jared beside her suddenly had his eyes lit up. He pushed Sallie aside and walked forward. “It’s Ms. Langdon’s car!”
