Female Novel
Chapter 76
In the meantime, Meredith was seen with an unhappy look on her face. Ever since her sister’swedding, she had only filmed a movie and turned down all her jobs because she was too moody toaccept any of them. Therefore, she had only spent the last few days loitering at home.
“What should I do now, Mom?” Megan bitterly gazed at Jezebelle.novelbin
“Your situation is still not as bad as you think. Look, you and Finneas are already married, which issomething etched in stone. So, if he really wants a divorce, he’ll still likely have to think it through.Thus, your situation can afford to wait, but on the other hand, Meredith’s situation seems a littlemore pressing.”
Jezebelle then shifted her gaze to Meredith. “What’s your plan?”
Knowing both of her daughters, Jezebelle was aware of the differences between their charactersand strengths. Although Megan never seemed to run out of ideas, she was an arrogant loudmouthmost of the time. On the contrary, Meredith was more reserved and unfathomable, as she was oftenable to come up with better and more sophisticated ideas. Therefore, she was curious to know whather younger daughter was thinking.
“What plan? Nope, I don’t have one,” Meredith calmly replied. In fact, she was still thinking aboutwhat she should do deep down since the matter was more complicated than it seemed. Selena isthe biological mother of those two boys, so I must never try too hard, or I could give myself away.Thus, I must be careful with every move I make.
“What do you mean by that? Doesn’t this matter seem pressing enough to you?!” Jezebelleagitatedly questioned her daughter while patting her own lap. “ As long as your problem is solved,your sister’s issue will go away as well.”
Jezebelle’s words caught Megan’s attention, as she couldn’t agree more with her mother. Mom wasright. Once Meredith and Pierre tie the knot, I’ll be the boss in the Lake Family since they fear theFowler Family. By then, I’ll see who dares to bring up the matter that happened at the wedding.
Meanwhile, Meredith remained silent without saying a single word.
“Let me ask you. Are Jojo and Jamie your kids?” Jezebelle asked, staring at Meredith in a sternmanner.
The sisters were stunned by their mother’s question as they exchanged gazes with each other.While Jezebelle was not aware of the entire story at all, Megan had left home earlier on, only tocome back later and announce to the family that she had given birth to two children for Pierre. Inorder to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention, she decided to keep the truth a secret fromeveryone else, including their own mother. Besides the sisters themselves, there was a nurse whowas also aware of the truth. Nonetheless, they had already bribed her to take care of the matterbefore she left the city for some place else.
“O-Of course!” Meredith answered in an unnatural manner.
“Eureka! Since they are your children, they are also the Fowler Family’s descendants and futureheirs. So, all you need to do is to tell everyone that your little boys are still clingy to you. I bet OldMr. Fowler will surely go soft on you when he hears this. By then, he’ll likely give you the green lightto go ahead with the wedding!” Jezebelle said while clapping her hands.
What a good idea! As long as the boys are mine, I’ll be able to use them to my advantage. Oncethey say they wanna stay with me, I’ll be one step closer to my goal.
Soon, Jezebelle added, “Furthermore, Selena is a promiscuous woman who once had an affair.Furthermore, her useless daughter will only add to the Fowler Family’s refusal to accept her, even
though she might be some sort of a rich president.” As soon as her mother’s words dawned on her,she made up her mind, knowing what she should do.
Meanwhile, Selena was happy to see her team members recharged and energetic after the two-daybreak. It looks like I made the right choice. Nonetheless, one of her subordinates had beenspending her break working, and it turned out to be none other than—Pauline.
