In the meantime, Meredith was seen with an unhappy look on her face. Ever since her sister’s wedding, she had only filmed a movie and turned down all her jobs because she was too moody to accept 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.“Your situation is still not as bad as you think. Look, you and Finneas are already married, which is something 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 little more 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 characters and strengths. Although Megan never seemed to run out of ideas, she was an arrogant loudmouth most of the time. On the contrary, Meredith was more reserved and unfathomable, as
I’ll find the best few companies that we can work with. “Hello, Mr. Jacobs. May I ask… Oh, but I believe you still remember the deal that we discussed yesterday, right?” The moment Pauline picked up the call, she drew everyone’s attention, including Selena, who looked at her as well.“Sure, we’ll work together some other time.” Right after Pauline had just hung up the call, she heard her phone ringing again, so she had to pick up her phone again. “Hello, Miss Nolan. Regarding our deal yesterday—Oh… Okay, I understand.” After putting her phone away, Pauline appeared to be a little disheartened.“What’s wrong, Pauline?”“Well, we can talk about that after the meeting,” Pauline said with a gloomy look on her face.As soon as everyone was seated, Selena started off the meeting by complimenting her team, whereupon Linda proceeded to distribute the dossiers on each of the companies that they would soon be collaborating with.“Let’s discuss and select the companies that we think are suitable
So, he wants me to beg him by denying me of all my chances! “What a b*stard!” This guy is an absolute jerk!For the next three days, Selena and her team actively searched from all their sources and contacted any company that they could work with, but strangely enough, all of them changed their minds not long after they agreed to collaborate. Even when they phoned to find out what happened, their calls were immediately declined. Thus, Selena was even more certain about her suspicion that Pierre was manipulating these companies from behind the scenes.Meanwhile, Pauline had personally made a trip to Empire Group, but she was turned away there and then. Despite her desperate effort to initiate a negotiation, she didn’t manage to meet up with anyone from the management, let alone Pierre himself. Her unsuccessful approach inevitably became a discouragement to everyone in her team, as they had never come across such an insurmountable setback. Because of that, the overall workplace morale ha
“Miss Yard, you’re pregnant with triplets, and the fetuses are all healthy.”The doctor’s words were still echoing in Selena’s head as she held her waist with one hand and a 4D ultrasound report in the other. She was already seven months pregnant, and because there were triplets, she was bigger than other pregnant women. In fact, she was even bigger than those women who were about to give birth.They didn’t manage to obtain good pictures of the three babies with the previous scans, but she finally had the pictures she wanted this time. I’m gonna show them to Finneas! He’ll definitely be very happy to see them.After walking for a while, she grew tired and started panting, so she found a bench and sat down. Then, she stared at the examination report in her hands; the faces of the three babies were clearly visible.“Who do you look like? Like your dad, or like your mom?”Suddenly, a slender hand reached outand snatched the report away from her.When Selena looked up sharply,she saw a fam
Four years later at Dynasty Bar, loud music that constantly stimulated one’s eardrums and provoked every nerve in a person’s body could be heard.Suddenly, a line of men in black suits moved into the doorway. In the Bentley at the entrance sat a man with an expression so frosty that it seemed as if his face was carved out of ice. He was handsome like a Greek God and exuded a compelling aloofness. His face carried a trace of arrogance that suggested he was always looking upon all life forms beneath him.This was Pierre Fowler, the most impressive man in Digton City.“Mr. Fowler, the last location of the spy was inside this bar,” said Niall, his special assistant who was bending toward him outside the car.“Clear the place.” Pierre opened his thin lips slightly and spoke, his voice thick and magnetic.As the people came out from inside, they were herded into a big truck. Although they screamed and cursed, they didn’t dare to make any move because they knew they couldn’t afford to mess w
Everyone heard Selena’s shout. Pierre was the most stunned of them all, and he turned to look toward the source of the voice, only to see a girl swaying her way toward him. She had a youthful face with a full forehead, small cheeks that were a rosy shade, as well as long black hair that fell over her shoulders seductively and messily like a waterfall.The girl rushed over and grabbed Pierre’s collar, causing all the bodyguards at the scene to be dumbfounded. Who would have thought that such a girl would dare to grab Pierre’s collar? Did she have a death wish?When they were about to go over and pull her away, Pierre waved his hand.Then, Selena stared at him, the look in her eyes one of confusion. “Hmm? You don’t look like a bad old man at all!” He’s clearly a man who’s outrageously handsome!He was so handsome that women would fall over themselves for him. At the sight of such a hunk, Selena immediately gulped and put on a gorgeous smile.In response, Pierre raised his eyebrows and h
When Selena jerked the car door open, Jameson was seen munching on potato chips in the car, while Joaquin was frowning and sitting with his arms and legs crossed, looking like an adult.“Pretty lady, you’re back!” Jameson grinned. “Do you want to eat this? It’s super delicious! I’ve never eaten anything so delicious before! My brother said this is junk food, but even if it’s junk, it’s still delicious. Do you want to eat it? I purposely saved some for you.”Selena rolled her eyes. That’s my snack, okay? She had snacks placed in a compartment in the car, but at the moment, they had all become empty bags. However, since the boy still knew that he should save a little for her, and he looked so cute, she decided to forgive him.“Thank you.” Selena stroked Jameson’s little head. “But I didn’t meet the bad old man you mentioned last night.”Joaquin quickly said, “I guess he didn’t come then.”“Oh, in that case, where should I send you guys now?” Selena didn’t care too much. It was just a ba
Later, a line of people surrounded Villa No. 3 in Dragon Gardens. Then, Pierre could be seen getting out of the car, and his dark eyes flashed with a chilly light as he surveyed the villa.Last night, the spy’s GPS information was located in the bar, and the woman just so happened to be there and even took the initiative to appear before him. Now, his sons had disappeared with this woman, and it just so happened that this woman was also neighbors with him. This was all too much of a coincidence.Niall came forward and asked, “President Fowler, should we go in?”“Retreat.”“What?” Niall couldn’t believe his ears. It had been so hard for them to locate them and carry out the blockades, but now, they were to retreat?“Retreat,” Pierre repeated, his voice devoid of all emotion. He had never liked to explain anything to other people.Naturally, Niall understood Pierre’s character. Any decision Pierre made naturally had its reasons, so Niall had no choice but to get everyone to retreat agai

“President Fowler, these are the files for the meeting later.”Despite his assistant’s words, Pierre remained still without even casting an eye on those files. In fact, he would usually take a few minutes out of his time to skim through the papers before the meeting so that he roughly knew all the agendas that would be discussed later. Thus, Niall had no idea what was on Pierre’s mind as he stood aside and waited in silence.“Head over to Fowler Corporation and take back all our shares from Laya.”Pierre’s words came like a thunderbolt to Niall. In fact, the management had decided to redeem the company’s shares from Laya since clothing business was never the main focus of both Fowler Corporation and Empire Group, and neither was that area their forte.Despite Laya’s unsatisfactory performance in the past few years, Pierre had never once expressed his interest in that company. Even when it was mentioned earlier during the meeting at Fowler Corporation, he had only just assigned someone
It’s him again?! Why won’t this guy ever give up?! Irritated and annoyed, Selena gritted her teeth and exclaimed, “What does this guy want from me?!”Unaware of what was going on, Juniper asked, “What did you just say, Mommy?” “Nothing.” “Mom, why do your lips look so red? They seem to be swollen. Are you not feeling well?”After hearing Juniper, Selena subconsciously touched her lips. This is all thanks to that b*stard! Nonetheless, she didn’t want her daughter to know what happened earlier, so she had no choice but to lie to her. “Oh, that’s because I took some spicy fries when I was waiting for you.”Juniper pouted. “Hmph! You secretly ate the good stuff again!”“They’re not good stuff. They’re junks,” Selena replied to Juniper’s words while setting her eyes on ‘Venom’. Then, she was followed by Pierre until she entered her residential area.After that, she parked outside her house and impatiently got out of her car, stomping toward the man. As she was about to confront Pierre and
Then, Selena took the ring out of her pocket and flung it at Pierre, making the latter stop in his tracks when he felt something hitting him. “Take back your ring! You shameless liar!”As the ring fell onto the ground right beside Pierre’s foot, he took a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and stepped away. Soon, Selena came out of the alley as well and saw a huge crowd at the kindergarten’s entrance, whereupon she quickly queued up.At that moment, Pierre was nowhere to be found. Selena glanced across the crowd, but she soon noticed that his assistant was in the queue as well. So, he sent someone to pick his kids up, didn’t he? Then, why did he still come here in that case?Meanwhile, Juniper was queuing up as well, with Jameson standing behind her. Although he had been trying to open her up the whole day, the little girl simply wouldn’t respond to him. “Come on, Juniper! We’re best friends, aren’t we?We might have lied to you, but we didn’t do that on purpose. Wait a minute.
“Yup, I’m doing this on purpose!” Pierre didn’t bother to hide his intention at all.Staring at the man’s look, Selena felt a strong urge to punch him in the face. I wish I could just slam my fist into his face until no one recognizes him! In this way, he could never harm anyone ever again.“Do you think this is fun, Pierre Fowler? You knew my relationship with Meredith all along, didn’t you? She is my half-sister, and I can tell you that we both could have lived peacefully without a bitter history, but because of you, I became your mistress!”Well, I might as well keep this going.“Furthermore, she gave birth to a pair of twins for you! Anyway, you both are getting married sooner or later. So, please be a dutiful husband and stop fooling around for your children’s sake!”Alas! I can’t help but feel sorry for the boys. They deserve a better father! But I guess having Meredith as their mother is something more pathetic!“Yes, I do.” Pierre gave his reply in a glacial tone. “What did yo
As the bright sunlight shone on Pierre’s car, it glimmered glaringly like a king’s throne, catching the eyes of all passers-by who stumbled upon it. Wow! This car is over 45 million, plus it’s a limited edition, so it’s not just about being able to afford it.In fact, Selena had already set her eyes on the car earlier on and even applied to purchase it, but unfortunately, her application had yet to be approved. I guess I’m not surprised to see him drive a car as luxurious as this one, despite his young age. After all, he is a man who owns two established companies.Soon, she saw Pierre walking in her direction and mumbled to herself, “What a small world.” Then, she ignored him and walked away toward the kindergarten.Meanwhile, Pierre calmly followed behind the lady but kept a distance from her, seemingly mimicking her every pace wherever she went. When she picked up her pace or slowed down, he did the same; when she crossed the road, he followed suit.Frustrated with Pierre’s reactio
Pauline didn’t understand what Linda’s cough meant, and neither did it concern her since she was a typical workaholic. “President Yard, I’ve prepared a proposal for your perusal.” Pauline then handed a file over to Selena.At that moment, the expression on Selena’s face changed because she no longer wanted anything to do with Pierre.At that moment, the expression on Selena’s face changed because she no longer wanted anything to do with Pierre.Soon, Pauline added, “We must enter Astoria’s market as soon as possible, and Fowler Corporation will be our ticket in. If we were to go for the other alternatives, it would only cost us more time and resources. The worst part of all, it doesn’t even guarantee half of our success.”After hearing Pauline’s bold and confident words, Selena knew that she must have done a thorough market analysis. Thus, she had to concede that Pauline knew better about the market than she did. At the same time, she set her eyes on the thick proposal, acknowledging
