Female Novel
Chapter 177
“By the way, isn’t Selena Yard—the president of JNS Corporation—your half-sister?” Helen lookedat Meredith tentatively.
“Mrs. Fowler, I’m not at liberty to say anything about her.”
However, Helen seemed to be able to see through Meredith. “Meredith, the Fowler Family has longsince regarded you as the mistress of the family throughout the past few years. What could still beoff-limits between us? Just tell me. It’s okay, for I know my limits.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Meredith answered, “Mrs. Fowler, this sister of mine… Well, it’s a longstory. Her mother passed away when she was young, and my mother wasn’t in the position to reallydiscipline her since she was merely a stepmother, so she’d always been running wild at home. Shehad a boyfriend in her teenage years, and her entire personal life is a mess. For some inexplicablereason, she has always despised me and my sister, so she’s perturbed when we’re doing well. Yousaw what happened during my sister’s wedding with Finneas Lake. In reality, the truth wasn’t as sheclaimed. It was her who fooled around outside and got pregnant with some man, so Finneasdumped her, but she pushed all the blame on my sister. Nonetheless, we’re family, so we didn’twant to make a huge fuss out of it.”
Helen naturally knew that Meredith’s words contained falsehoods, but it would also be bad for her ifSelena truly got together with Pierre, so she had to stand with Meredith. “Don’t worry, Meredith. I’lldefinitely keep a close eye on Jojo and Jamie. As for Selena and Pierre, you know that I can’t sayanything since I’m only his stepmother. Pierre is still young, so perhaps he’s only sowing his wildoats?”novelbin
Then, she took Meredith’s hand. “Actually, relationships are like flying a kite. The more you pull itcloser to you, the farther it flies. However, when you let go, it’ll draw closer to you instead. Mostimportantly, the string must be in your hands.”
Meredith mulled her words over carefully before she smiled and nodded. She’s right. The stringmust be in my hand. I need to wait for an opportunity; the perfect opportunity. Just you wait, SelenaYard!
On the third day after Pierre and Selena put on a public display of affection, Pierre was summonedto John’s office for a talk. In John’s office, Pierre sat on the chair lazily and leaned back, seeminglynot at all respectful toward his own father.
When John saw such impudent behavior from him, he truly wanted to lambast him, but hesuppressed his anger. “What’s going on between you and Selena Yard?” The media reports wereextremely suggestive, and everyone was speculating on this issue, so he naturally had to clarify thismatter, especially since Helen said something to him last night.
“We’re dating.” Pierre had admitted it boldly.
“Nonsense!” John abruptly slammed a hand on the table, sending the few pieces of paper on thetable fluttering to the floor.
Nevertheless, Pierre snickered. “I’m already 30 years old, yet I’ve still got to ask for your leave todate?”
“You b*stard! So, the shooting back when I had you marry Meredith Yard was all a show you putup?” Only now did John realize this. He hadn’t suspected anything since Pierre was injured, butnow that this issue with Selena had come up, he couldn’t help suspecting that his son had trulyorchestrated everything back then. He’d actually managed to fool me!
Meanwhile, Pierre said nothing, a tacit acquiescence on his part. They were father and son, so theypossessed the same acumen. For that reason, concealing the truth wouldn’t do him any good.
