Female Novel
Chapter 228
“Well…” Even Jezebelle knew her plan wasn’t practical. “You can beg Helen or John for mercy.Don’t they like Joaquin and Jameson? Aren’t they intent on having Pierre marry you?”
“Why would they even want to see me when Megan stabbed their son? My only connection withthem is through Pierre and our sons. They might even be wondering if I am also capable of whatMegan did, seeing that she’s my sister!”
The fact that Megan stabbed Pierre gave Meredith a headache, as she didn’t know how she shouldhandle the matter. After sniffing around, she came to know that the Fowlers didn’t know that Pierrewas injured yet, so she figured that Pierre might’ve hidden the truth from them. Therefore, shewouldn’t be the one to cross them by actively informing them of the incident.
“So what are we to do now?” Jezebelle began wailing.
Her wails only served to aggravate Meredith’s headache. “Mom, can’t you be quiet? Let me think!”Rubbing her temples, she reviewed her plans. Although she was already prepared to launch thesecond phase of her plan, she had made a miscalculation. She didn’t know John would be sooverprotective of his grandsons. With the boys now banned from going to kindergarten, she was outof moves.
“I’ll go see Pierre.” After a moment, she relented upon heaving a sigh, as she had no other options.
“Sure! Go beg for his mercy! He might very well let this slide out of concern for his sons!” Jezebellequickly agreed to her plan.
Casting a glance at her mother, Meredith was suddenly overcome with feelings of desolation. “Mom,have you ever wondered about my thoughts on the matter when you repeatedly told me to go begfor mercy from Pierre?”
Jezebelle lowered her head in shame. “I… I just don’t see any other way forward.”
Standing up, Meredith heaved a sigh. “Ever since I was younger, Megan has been more importantto you.”
Upon hearing what she said, Jezebelle’s mouth hung wide open, but words failed her. However,Meredith wasn’t going to wait for a reply from her as well, for she was soon on her way out with herbag. She didn’t have much time to spare, so she opted to go seek out Pierre directly.
While on her way to Fowler Corporation, Meredith had been recalling events from when she wasyounger. Although Megan and her were twins, their personalities were drastically different; Meganwas more outgoing and cheerful, whereas Meredith was more quiet and thoughtful. The latterwasn’t keen on fighting for anything in case there was a conflict.
Whenever they had something nice, Megan was always the one who got to pick. In the case ofthem making a mistake, Megan was also always the first to speak up. As she would always use thesituations to her advantage, their parents tended to believe in her, so Meredith was always the oneto be blamed. Therefore, Meredith was used to enduring everything in silence, all the while workinghard on her own, as she hoped that her family would one day come to recognize heraccomplishments.
Her hard work didn’t go to waste. Back when Megan was trying her best to get together withFinneas, she was already enrolled into art school as a top student. As time passed, she gainedmore understanding about Megan and came to know that she was actually quite straightforwarddespite her fiery temper. As Megan wore her heart on her sleeve, Meredith decided to use that toher advantage.
On the other hand, she thought her family might give her more attention after she got the bestactress award and was married into the Fowler Family, but in the end, they still cared about Meganmore.
With those thoughts in mind, Meredith had arrived at Fowler Corporation without her realizing it.Entering the building from the rear entrance, she headed straight toward Pierre’s office, only to findthat his office was locked, so she figured he might be in a meeting. In the meantime, Pierre wasending the meeting he was in. Niall came to his office to fetch something, which was when he sawMeredith.novelbin
