Female Novel
Chapter 154
Pierre didn’t interject, for he knew that things weren’t that simple.
Even though he had driven the Yard Family close to bankruptcy, he knew just exactly how muchmoney Meredith had in her hands. For the past four years, the Fowlers, including himself, had givenher many things. With everything added up, Meredith owned more than one could count when itcame to jewelry and such.
In addition to that, she was at the peak of her career in the entertainment industry now with thehighest pay. Hence, she could definitely afford to buy a jade bracelet by herself.
“But many have their eyes set on this jade bracelet and it’s said to be very popular. I’m worried it willfall into the hands of others. That’s why I need your help,” she added.
It’s only because of money? Pierre wondered.novelbin
“I’ve never asked you for anything before, Pierre, and this is the first time I’m asking for your help.Please help me this time. This jade bracelet is really very important to me,” Meredith continued.
“Okay.” He had agreed readily without a moment’s hesitation.
“Thank you so much!”
“I’m going back to work if there’s nothing else,” he said and turned to leave the reception room.
At the sight of him leaving, Meredith took a step forward, but she wasn’t able to say another word. Isthere really nothing else to be said between us? she asked herself mentally. Sighing, she turned toleave the room, but before she left, she recovered her usual spirited look, lest others would noticeher discomfiture.
Roland was the first to notice that the jade bracelet would be auctioned, and he was distraughtbecause he had been trying to find out the whereabouts of the bracelet everywhere. As it turnedout, he saw that the jade bracelet was about to be auctioned off.
Previously, Selena had promised to help the Yard Family if they returned her the bracelet. In fact,Meredith could have directly asked Pierre for help to get the Yard Family through the crisis, but shedidn’t do that and asked for the bracelet instead. This was because she was placing her final bet onPierre if he would help her get the bracelet.
This was very important to her; if Pierre helped her to get the bracelet, she could help her fatherreturn it to Selena and in turn, she would help their family through the crisis. At the same time, itwould create a rift between Selena and Pierre. That would be akin to hitting two birds with onestone.
However, if he refused to help her, she would have to prepare for her next move.
After returning to his own office in a huff, Pierre then called for Niall. “What the hell are you doing?Why didn’t you make it clear who was the person in the reception room?” he yelled at him angrily.
Niall felt wronged; Pierre was the one who dashed straight for the reception room anxiously evenbefore he could even finish his sentence.
“I told you correctly that it was Miss Yard who—”
“Make it clear which Miss Yard you mean next time!” Pierre interjected loudly, and Niall immediatelynodded. “Now get out of here!”
With his head hanging, Niall was about to leave the room when Pierre’s cell phone rang, and it wasMeredith who had sent him a picture of the jade bracelet.
“Come back here!” he shouted, and Niall, who was on the verge of tears, turned around.
Showing the picture to him, Pierre said, “Bid this for me during the Royal Auction. No matter howmuch it costs or who the competitor is, you have to outbid everyone during the auction.”
“Understood!”
Until now, no one had dared to vie for anything that Pierre had set his eyes on.
Just as Niall was about to leave again, he barked, “Wait a second!”
Squeezing his eyes shut with a pained expression, Niall took a deep breath and turned around oncemore. “Do you have any other orders, President Fowler?”
“Find a restaurant with a good atmosphere and book a table.”
“What would you like to eat, President Fowler? Or perhaps you have any special request for theambience of the restaurant?”
“It’s for a date. Figure it out yourself!”
Almost instantly, Niall understood what he meant, so he spun around once more to head for the exit.At the door, he turned around to glance at Pierre.
