Female Novel
Chapter 147
Meredith’s question seemed to have enlightened Megan. “Yeah, how did she manage to get herhands on so much money?”
“Wealth corrupts men, whereas wealthy women are generally corrupted. How can you forget aboutthis rule of thumb?”
Megan exclaimed, “Yeah! That b*tch must’ve found herself another man! Judging from her looks, Ibet she’s great at seducing men! No, I must investigate her! I need to know everything about her!”
“She started her business in Springvale. I have a friend who lives there, so you should goinvestigate in person. It will also let you avoid dealing with the divorce.”
“If I went, wouldn’t Finneas get even bolder?”
“Don’t you worry. I’ll watch over him in your stead.”
Megan trusted Meredith, so she caught a plane to Springvale in the afternoon that day itself.
Meanwhile, back in JNS Corporation.
Things were going well in the company based in Astoria, which seemed to be the case ever sinceSelena agreed to be Pierre’s girlfriend. However, they never contacted each other ever sinceestablishing their relationship. They didn’t even exchange a text, which disconcerted Selena, as shecouldn’t help but wonder if Pierre had something else that he hadn’t told her.
Checking on her phone, she saw no updates on his social media despite having labeled him as aclose friend. “That’s weird. What are his plans anyway?”novelbin
At that moment, Linda came in after knocking on the door, prompting Selena to put her phone away.“President Yard, your father is here again.”
Upon hearing that, she heaved a sigh. “What is it this time?”
“He told me that your family’s company will soon be bankrupt, so he needs to see you.”
“Are you sure they’re going bankrupt soon?” While she knew the company would sooner or latercome close to being bankrupt, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
“I did a quick investigation on the matter. He wasn’t lying. The shareholders of Yard Group are in astate of upheaval due to this.”
“Something’s wrong. Although their sales promotion is a vicious cycle, they had just started it, so theeffects shouldn’t have kicked in until the next quarter before spreading out. It should be until thenthat they would be forced to close shop and declare bankruptcy. This is happening way too soon.”While Selena knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t end well, they shouldn’t have come to this sosoon. Linda merely shrugged at her.
“Let him in.” All of a sudden, she thought of someone else. Could it be that Pierre did something? Ifnobody interfered with the process, Yard Group should be able to last at least until next summer.The fact that they were almost bankrupt by now could only mean that they were faced with pressurefrom all sides, and the only person capable of such deeds would be none other than Pierre Fowler.
In the meantime, Roland came into the room with a flattering look on his face. This time, he satdown obediently across from Selena, and neither did he make a show of himself by barking orders.“Selena, our family’s company is in a dire predicament. I wouldn’t have come to you unless I wastruly out of options, so please, help your father out.”
Maintaining an aloof facade, Selena lectured, “Do you understand why your company branddeteriorated so quickly? It’s all because of Megan, who works as your designer! By claiming to beon the cutting edge of the market, you priced your products so highly, yet her designs are justmediocre! It’s no surprise that your company is going bankrupt!”
“Yes, you are right in all regards! However, you have to help me out! The company was set up byyour mother and me. You wouldn’t just sit by idly and watch her efforts go to waste, right?” Rolandhad no choice but to mention her mother. Staring at him, Selena despised him for only mentioningher mother when things came to that point.
