However, the Fowler Residence was heavily guarded, so it wasn’t a place anyone could enter. As expected, after telling the guard their identities and purpose of visit, they were still denied entry a while later.Linda heaved a sigh outside the entrance. “President Yard, why don’t we go back? Just like what you had said, if anyone could contact the Fowlers easily, then Fowler Corporation and Empire Group would be swamped with visitors. I think we should ask for a middleman’s help.”Selena raised her head and looked at the entrance of the Fowler Residence.“Oh yes, President Yard. Didn’t you say that you know someone from the Fowler Family? Why don’t you give that person a call?” Linda was starting to suspect if Selena was just bluffing.After all, Selena is still very young, so it’s already a miracle for her to own a company as large as JNS Corporation. Why would she even know someone from the Fowler Family?Selena ignored her. Indeed, she knew someone from the Fowler Family, but it wo
Just then, the guard ran out from the residence and passed the pendant back to Selena. “Miss, Mrs. Fowler would like to meet you.” At that instant, Selena had no choice but to go in.Together with Linda, they entered the Fowler Residence. Linda kept looking around because it was her first time visiting such a magnificent house.The interior of the house was decorated in a traditional and elegant way, which was unlike those of the new rich.When they stepped into the living room, a graceful lady was already seated on the couch with her legs crossed as she was taking a sip from the teacup. It was difficult to tell her age by looking at her face because she looked like she was in her thirties. In reality, Helen was already forty-eight.Linda gulped, for the rich lady before her eyes was so well-mannered.She always thought that rich ladies were mostly haughty, supercilious, and pretentious. However, the lady before her eyes was not only beautiful, but she also appeared to be gentle.Hele
The housekeeper hurriedly shook her head. “Miss Yard, I beg your pardon? Mrs. Fowler’s son, Chris, is twenty-three this year. This is Young Master Pierre’s son, one of the twins.”After that, the housekeeper realized that she had revealed too much information, so she quickly added in a low voice, “Miss Yard, this isn’t a fact known to the public, so please…”“Oh, I understand. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.” “This way, please.”Selena tried to look into the house with the corner of her eye, but the residence was designed in such a way that there was a corridor before the living room, so she practically saw nothing. Left with no choice, she left the place.Feeling bored, Jameson crashed into Helen’s embrace. Helen helped him wipe the grease off his mouth and asked, “What did you eat? Your mouth is greasy.”“Grandma, I heard there were guests. Where are they?” Jameson let her clean his mouth.“They’re gone.”Jameson pouted in disappointment. “I feel so bored. I wanna go to the kinder
Meredith had requested her exclusive stylist to design the outlooks for Megan on her wedding day. The stylist took a look at the wedding dress and discussed with Megan about her demands before coming up with a design style.“Merry, what do you think?”Megan had dressed up according to the stylist’s suggestion, and she had taken a liking to her outfit. However, Meredith’s mind seemed to be somewhere else. For the past two days, she had been trying to find out who that woman was.“Merry!” Megan shouted, which caused Meredith to come to her senses.“Oh, yes. Surely, my sister is the most beautiful bride.” "Why have you been absent-minded recently?” Megan pouted, but her heart was filled with happiness. “Thanks for your compliment. Anyway, you’re also a soon-to-be Mrs, so I’m sure the Fowlers will hold a wedding for you that’s ten times grander than mine. By then, don’t forget who helped you achieve this.”In fact, Megan was rather jealous of her sister. Since Meredith brought the twins
“Anyway, he’s handsome! You’ll believe me when you see him!” Despite what had happened, Meredith was still protective of Pierre.“Then tell him to come to my wedding. After all, he’s my future brother-in-law, so it’d be inappropriate if he doesn’t show up.” Megan smiled flatteringly at her.If Pierre could come, it’d be a huge honor to my wedding! Naturally, Meredith couldn’t make that decision on Pierre’s behalf. Nevertheless, Megan’s words had enlightened her that whatever the case, to other people, she was the mother of the twins, and it was an irrefutable fact.As long as the lie wasn’t exposed, she would never lose the fight to that woman.“Okay.” Meredith agreed to it. No matter what happened, she had to ask Pierre to attend Megan’s wedding. When they appeared together in public, she would officially be seen as his partner.“That’s wonderful. We’ll need a flower girl now.” All of a sudden, Megan snapped her fingers. “Selena’s daughter!”“Her daughter? Are you out of your mind?”
"Of course there will be delicious food, and the wedding will be fun as well.” “I’m going then! Grandpa, I wanna be a page boy at the wedding!”John’s expression remained indifferent. Meredith hurriedly rose from the couch and nodded at John. “Mr. Fowler, if you don’t agree to it, I will just tell my sister to look for someone else.”She was humble, and there was no displeasure in her tone. She even appeared to be a little subservient. In fact, John was fine with this future daughter-in-law of his.Helen tried to put in a word for her. “The wedding will be tomorrow, so it’s too late to look for another page boy. Furthermore, Jamie and Jojo have never seen their aunt and grandparents. Why don’t…”“Okay,” John finally said. “It’s time to let them see more of the outside world. Bring more bodyguards to protect them at the wedding.”Indeed, John wasn’t willing to let anyone take advantage of the Fowler Family. However, since Pierre had proposed to Meredith, they were going to marry one da
Meredith was the bridesmaid of her sister. She didn’t want to be one in the first place, but she went with it because she hoped to appear at the wedding together with Pierre. Prior to the wedding day, Megan insisted that Meredith had to be her bridesmaid and even threw a tantrum. Left with no choice, Meredith agreed to it.She had chosen a white mermaid dress for herself. In order to protect the Fowlers’ reputation, she didn’t dare to wear anything sexy. Still, the modest dress perfectly outlined her curvy figure.Since many people had surrounded Megan, there was nothing much Meredith could help. “Merry, didn’t you say that Pierre would come? Where is he?” Megan still remembered it.She had never seen her future brother-in-law before. Meredith always said that Pierre was a charming man, but Megan never believed her and thought that it was because her sister was madly in love with him. So, she was looking forward to seeing him finally.Meredith took a look at her wristwatch. She knew t
“She’s the kids’ mother, so sometimes I have to show her due respect,” Pierre suddenly said. Niall was shocked because it was the first time Pierre explained his action to him.However, Niall didn’t think it was Pierre’s true intention, and he must have another reason for coming back. Only God knows for whom Pierre has come back.“President Fowler, when are we going in?” “Wait for a while more.”A moment later, Selena’s car came into his sight. After she left the car, she was seen in a formal black dress that was embroidered with silver threads, which shone brightly as she walked elegantly toward the hotel.Then, she looked up at the signboard of Regalia Hotel and recalled the time when she was in love with Finneas. He had promised to hold a wedding for her in this hotel one day, and he had said that he would make her the happiest bride on earth.On this day, he was finally getting married in this hotel, but unfortunately, she wasn’t the bride.“Mommy, what are you looking at?” Junipe
“No can do!” Selena turned Pierre down outright. After all, their first intimacy was an accident since she was drunk at that time. Therefore, she didn’t think that counted as her willingness to make love with him. I wouldn’t have gone ahead and shared an intimate moment with him had I been sober at that time.“Relax! Think about your company and your…” Pierre purposely paused for a second before going on to say, “Daughter.” In that instant, Selena’s eyes dilated in horror. “B*stard!”Selena was willing to give up her company if she had to since she had more than enough money to spend for the rest of her and her daughter’s life. However, she would never abandon her daughter for whatever reason it might be. Pierre is like the devil himself! How could he threaten me with my daughter?!Noticing Selena’s silence, Pierre knew she was scared deep down. “T-This… is a one-time thing, right?”“Of course.”"Will you leave me alone if I take you up on it? Promise me that you will never disturb my
Upon stepping out of the elevator, Selena had arrived at the top floor right outside the president’s office. “Miss Yard, President Fowler is waiting inside.” The employee left after walking her to the office’s entrance.Selena then took a deep breath and knocked on the door, entering the office when she heard Pierre’s deep voice. As soon as she stepped inside, the first thing that came into her view was the piled up documents on the table that Pierre had to go through. While the man’s absorption in work reminded her of herself back in those days, she was still rather surprised at the sight of his overwhelming workload.A moment later, Pierre looked up at Selena only when she sat right in front of him. “What do you want from me?” Selena directly asked the man the question with a poker face.Pierre responded with a glacial chuckle and continued to bury himself in work. “I made myself clear the last time, didn’t I? Beg me, and I’ll undo everything for you.”“You and I both know that we h
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
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
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
“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
