Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

"I warned her not to mess with Selena, but she wouldn't listen! So, who else could she blame?!"

"How could you say that?! I should have abandoned you back then!" Jezebelle thumped her chest agitatedly and added, "Meredith blew her cover, and Selena was hunting her down. Your dad was so angry when he found out about that and decided to confront Selena about it, but I didn't know he was actually going to kill her. He only told me he'd settle this once and for all, but I didn't know that was what he meant." Jezebelle whined remorsefully. After all, the Roland she knew was a coward who wouldn't even dare to kill a fish, let alone a person.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"In the end, not only did he fail to kill her, he ended up losing his life when he bumped his head into the edge of the table. Your dad would have at least done us a favor if he had managed to kill Selena, but look at what happened." Jezebelle sighed in dismay; she had lost her only hope to turn things around with Roland's death.

Megan responded with silence for a while and asked, "Where is Meredith?"

"I don't know. She dropped by not long ago but only said a few words and left. I don't know—"

"Enough, Mom! We'll talk about that after we take care of Dad's funeral."

"Megan, you're the only one I have left in this family, so please do something to save your sister! Isn't Jimmy a rich guy?"

Megan bitterly smiled and said, "Jimmy is indeed not short of money, but he still can't compare with Pierre and Selena. Thus, he won't be able to do them any harm even if he spends all his fortune. Mom, let me worry about that!"

Not long after that, Roland was given a decent funeral before his body was placed among the Yard Family's ancestral graves. Nonetheless, Selena made sure he wasn't buried anywhere near her mother's grave, believing she would hate to see him in the afterlife.

During the funeral, Pierre had eyes

and ears everywhere to keep a

lookout for Meredith as he had sworn to capture her. Unfortunately, nothing unusual happened even until the funeral was over, rendering Pierre a little frustrated as he

reluctantly returned home.

"Well, I told you she wouldn't show up. Although she might be the most obedient daughter among us, she is actually the most selfish one. Nothing would make her show up, including our father's death. After all, she probably knew you were expecting her."

"Hmph! I'm going to catch her one way or another!"

Pierre gazed at Selena and noticed the dark circles around her eyes. "You haven't slept well recently. Go home and have some rest!" Upon gazing at Selena's bandaged arm, he caringly asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Selena shook her head and leaned on Pierre's chest shortly before she drifted away and snored. Meanwhile, Pierre only caressed her face, feeling sympathetic toward her for all the suffering she had gone through.

As soon as they got home, Pierre carried Selena to her bed and put her to sleep. In the meantime, the children were too young to help out at the funeral, so they only just paid their respect there before they were escorted back home by their bodyguards. Since they had barely met Roland before, they naturally didn't have much feelings when they learned about their grandfather's death.

"Your grandpa has just passed away, and your mom is still recovering from her injury. Thus, I'm going to need the three of you to behave yourself and let your mommy rest well." Pierre lectured his children.

That night, Selena slept very well;

she vaguely saw Roland in her dream, in which he tearfully apologized to her and admitted his mistake. When she opened her eyes again she somehow felt warm on the inside. Deep down, she sincerely hoped that Roland would learn from his mistake in the afterlife and perhaps be reborn as a better father and husband in his next life.

"Madam, someone wants to see you, and she claims to be your sister."
