Female Novel
Chapter 175
All of a sudden, she recalled that there was a third person at the auction who basically bid with themuntil the very end. Someone who could afford to raise a bid of a million can’t be any ordinaryperson. “Hey, do you know who the person was who kept raising the bid during the auction?”
Pierre shook his head. “How would I know when I wasn’t there?”
“Help me investigate it, then.” This bracelet is indeed priceless, but no one would spend such afortune to bid on it unless he truly loves such a thing and isn’t hurting for money. All of a sudden,Selena found this person very much suspicious.
“Okay, I’ll have someone investigate it. But why do you want this bracelet so much?” Pierre turnedthe bracelet around in his hand. It doesn’t look all that distinctive.
“This was my mother’s. My mother loved this pair of bracelets, but she sold one of them back thento help my father out. After she passed away, the other bracelet went missing as well, so I surmisedthat my father must have sold it.” Selena stared at the bracelet. “There’s still another one, and I’lldefinitely find it.” After all, Mom didn’t leave much behind after her demise. I remember her alwayswearing the bracelets when I was young, so it’ll also be a balm to my longing for her.
As Pierre gazed at her melancholic expression, a hint of sympathy flashed across his eyes, and hecaressed her hair. “I’ll help you find it.”
Pierre arched his eyebrow slightly without saying anything, his eyes fixed on Selena’s cherry lips.Why do I feel compelled to have a taste? Leaning over, he planted a kiss on her lips. Thisunexpected kiss caught Selena off guard, and she was stunned for a moment, forgetting to resistthough she didn’t seem to have any reason to do so either.
While the relationship between the two of them swiftly heated up, the situation at Yard Residencewas somewhat tragic. After the incident at the fashion show, Meredith had been hiding out at home
and refusing to accept even her usual work, feeling utterly humiliated.novelbin
Jezebelle naturally knew about the incident, but she couldn’t do anything other than cursing Selenaout. As she sat on the sofa brooding and contemplating her next move, Megan barged in whilecrying.
“Mom, Finneas… Finneas wants to divorce me!” Megan threw herself into Jezebelle’s arms,weeping her heart out. He’s serious this time, having even prepared the divorce agreement!
“Don’t cry first. Divorce is a huge issue, so it’s up to the older generation to approve of mattersconcerning the younger generation,” Jezebelle said to mollify her.
“It’s really serious this time, Mom! Even my parents-in-law have agreed!” After saying that, Meganwailed as she nestled in her embrace.
“What?!” Jezebelle’s heart jolted. This is bad! If Finneas’ parents have agreed, then it’s really aproblem.
Meredith had been irritated these few days, so she came down upon hearing her sister bawling.“Say, Megan, can you not cry the moment you come home? We’re not having a funeral here.”
When she heard her sister’s chastisement, Megan sprang to her feet. “How dare you say that? Thisis all on you. If you could keep Pierre Fowler in line and marry him earlier, the Lake Family wouldn’tdare do this to me no matter what!” She pushed all the blame on Meredith. All this time, she hasbeen the prospective daughter-in-law of the Fowler Family and my trump card! Unexpectedly, mytrump card is gone, so the Lakes stopped taking me seriously!
“The situation between me and Pierre is only temporary.” Meredith turned her head to the side,never having expected her own twin sister to rub salt into her wound at this time.
