Chapter 146
“Down on my luck?” Roland snorted. “If this keeps up, our family will have to suffer from misfortunefor the rest of our lives!”
“What’s wrong?” Turning around, Jezebelle asked.novelbin
“Sales aren’t great for the current quarter,” Roland replied a little touchily.
As they spoke, someone rammed into the door, flinging it open. “Mom, Dad, this is the end of me!”Megan launched herself into Jezebelle’s arms as soon as she entered the room.
Hearing her wails only served to further irritate Roland. “Stop crying! Not like anybody is dead!”
“What’s the matter, Megan? Tell us the whole story.”
“Finneas... He... He wants to divorce me!”
Shocked, Roland jumped out of bed. “What did you say?”
In a similar state of bewilderment, Jezebelle cried, “Is he really going to do that?”
After spending some time to vent her sorrows, Megan relayed to them what had transpired whilestill sobbing intermittently. Although Finneas had been treating Megan better due to her efforts, hebegan reprimanding her again ever since Meredith’s failed wedding. Knowing that it was probablybecause hopes of the Lakes forging a connection with the Fowlers were shattered, Megan put upwith everything while continuing to try to please him.
However, Finneas handed her a divorce agreement this morning without offering her anyexplanation. She showed them the document. “He must’ve been planning this since he got thedocuments ready.” With that, Megan began bawling again.
“Oh, stop crying! My head is hurting from it! Not only did Meredith not get married, but you’re nowbeing divorced, and the company is going bankrupt! This is insane!” Clutching his chest, Rolandplopped down on the bed, agonized that his daughter’s wedding had gone down the drain despitethe fact that he was so proud of it.
Meredith had been staying with them during the past few days. Ever since returning from FowlerResidence, she hadn’t been working. Upon hearing Megan’s anguished cries, she hurried into theroom. Hearing her father wailing made her heave a sigh, wary of the damage that her failedwedding had caused.
“It’s all that b*tch’s fault! She was being physical with Finneas while on the island! She must betrying to convince him to divorce me! I’ll make sure that b*tch pays for this!” Wiping her tears away,Megan shot up, ready to make a dash for the door, but Meredith shoved her back. “Why are youstopping me?” she bellowed at Meredith.
“You’ll only be marching to her beat if you go now!” Meredith couldn’t help but think that her sisterwas beyond help.
With all her fight gone, Megan hung her head low while sitting down. “Then what do you suggest Ido?”
Seeing that it would tarnish her reputation, Meredith didn’t tell anybody that Pierre declined herhand in marriage, so she was forced to swallow her feelings of bitterness. “Selena and Finneas;Selena and Pierre. It’s apparent that she’s trying to come back at the Yard Family as a whole.”
Upon hearing Selena’s name, Roland shot up from bed. Yeah, we still have her! She’s my daughter,after all. Although she turned down a collaboration with me, I bet she wouldn’t watch idly as herfamily’s company fall apart during such a crisis.
Meredith cast him a glance, choosing to ignore him while she walked up to Megan. “Megan, you’vebeen married to Finneas for a few years, so his decision to divorce you might be an impulsivereaction due to him being blinded by rage. As for Selena, I suppose she’s making a deliberateattempt to seek revenge against us. She’s now the president of JNS Corporation. However, howcould she have become the president of a company, as well as being listed in Forbes World’sBillionaires List within a span of four years while having to take care of her daughter?”
