Chapter 234
“Meredith, I know you’re a good person, and I really hope that you’ll become the daughter-in-law of the Fowlers, so let me tell you a secret.”
Moving closer toward Meredith’s ears, Helen whispered, “A few days ago, Pierre told my husband that he won’t be together with Selena.”
Shocked, Meredith gaped at Helen with disbelief and thought, How’s that possible? Pierre would do anything for Selena. He’s so nice to her, so why won’t he get together with her?
“It’s true. I heard it with my own ears. I’m not sure what they said after that, but that was the exact words Pierre said. He told my husband not to worry, as he will not consider getting together with Selena, but he didn’t mention why. Anyhow, you’ve got to get a hold of yourself. You still have a chance to claim your place as the daughter-in-law of the Fowler Family.”
Clearly, Helen’s words were like a chill pill for Meredith.
“Mrs. Fowler, thank you so much for telling me this,” Meredith said, feeling grateful for Helen.
“No sweat.”
After exchanging more pleasantries, Meredith asked to excuse herself.
A while later, Meredith felt her heart throbbing with joy as she sat in her car. Since Mrs. Fowler was the one who heard it herself, it couldn’t possibly be a mistake. If it was true that Pierre would not get together with Selena, then this could only mean that she still had a likely chance! RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Meredith was so happy that she felt like she was floating. Opportunities come to those who are prepared. This is my chance, so I can’t just sit around and do nothing. No, I cannot wait around. Some opportunities will just slip away if I just wait on it. I have to act fast and take Selena down once and for all!
With her eyes flickering with both resentment and joy, Meredith muttered, “Selena, this time, we’ll see who has the last laugh.”
As soon as Meredith left, the maid standing beside Helen came forward and asked, “Madam, why did you tell Mrs. Yard about that? If Young Master… Um… I mean, Madam, you really shouldn’t have told her that. I'm just afraid that you’ll fall between two stools.”
With a smirk, Helen sneered, “What did I say? I don’t think I’ve said anything inappropriate. I didn’t even mention that Pierre will marry her for sure. Let her figure it out on her own. Based on my understanding of her, she’ll definitely make her move.”
On the surface, it looked as if Helen was giving Meredith a chill pill, but the truth was that Helen was trying to get Meredith to speed up her plan.
Frankly, Helen had lost her patience, and she didn’t wish to wait any longer.
On the other hand, Selena didn’t expect Niall to be that efficient. Much to her surprise, she finally got to see Joaquin and Jameson again when the weekend came.
“Come here! Let me give you two a big hug!” With her arms wide open, Selena embraced the both of them and gave each of them a kiss. “Did you miss me?”
“Of course! I miss you so much!” Jameson wanted to do a high jump in order to express how much he missed her.
At the side, Joaquin was acting all cool, but the corner of his mouth was curved up in a smile; it seemed like he was admitting it silently.
“We’re going for a hike today, so have you guys packed all the things you need?” Selena asked as she gave Joaquin and Jameson a light pat on the head.
Standing beside them, Juniper had gotten herself all geared up. She had worn a pink sportswear with a pink cap that matched Selena’s outfit, looking really adorable.
“All set and ready to go!” With that, both of them took out their caps from their bag.
The moment Jameson took his cap out of the bag, Selena let out a chuckle, for it was a green cap; the kind of bright green that was jarring to the eyes. It made the boy look rather comical.
On the contrary, Joaquin was wearing a blue cap, and he looked like a fine gentleman.
“Miss Yard, why are you laughing? Is my cap ugly?”
“It’s nice!” Selena lied and thought that when Jameson grew up, he would probably regret his decision of choosing such an ugly color when he saw photos of himself.
