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
At the moment, Selena was rather agitated. However, Pierre just stared at her with his dark eyes, which caused her smile to fade.“They’re all your family members, so why would you want to make it unpleasant for them? Why don’t you just forget it? After all, if anything happens during the wedding, it will affect the Yards’ reputation as well.”Despite his indifferent tone, his attitude was overbearing, which greatly displeased Selena. It was the first time he spoke to her in such a serious manner, but he was apparently not on her side.“The Yards’ reputation? Are you saying that their reputation matters, but mine doesn’t?” “You’re also one of the Yards.”“I’m not! If I could remove this surname of mine, I would’ve done it a long time ago! Do you think I’m one of the Yards? Do you know how they treat me? If you know what they’ve done to me, you wouldn’t have said so!”Selena glowered at him, for he had infuriated her by saying something she hated to hear. She had an aversion to anyone
“Of course it’s true! My daughter has given birth to twin sons for Pierre! He had proposed to my daughter a few days ago. So, you’ll soon have to attend my other daughter’s wedding.” Roland guffawed.Everyone was shocked upon hearing that. In the past, Roland wouldn’t dare to expose this news. However, he was less worried now because Pierre had proposed to his daughter, so they would soon marry.“Let’s not forget about my eldest daughter. You know JNS Corporation? She’s now the wife of JNS Corporation’s President, and we’ll cooperate with them to launch a new fashion brand. Just you wait!” Roland declared with a smug smile.It was such a piece of shocking news.However, the President of Zeke Group, Zeke Lawrence, who was involved in international business, stared at Roland in puzzlement. “You mean JNS Corporation of Springvale?”“Is there another JNS Corporation?” Roland snorted. That answer made Zeke even more perplexed.Just as they were speaking, the door of the hall was opened onc
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
I was a victim back then, but I suppose my daughter’s situation isn’t any different either. “It’s fine if you don’t know anything.” Juniper grinned, revealing her white teeth. “But how could you fall in love with Mr. Cheater, Mommy?You have a horrible taste!” Ever since the wedding, Juniper had learned that Selena was once in a relationship with the bridegroom until he cheated on her mother with her aunt and drove them both away from home.Selena helplessly smiled and replied, “I don’t know what was wrong with me, girl, but I guess you’re right. I do have bad taste.” Deep down, she recalled how she used to think that Finneas was a handsome and chivalrous gentleman, only to be disgusted by her own previous preference. I must have been blind back then.“He is not even half of Mr. Handsome!” Juniper blurted out before she quickly covered her mouth.In response, Selena only smiled in an awkward manner, as she also disapproved of Pierre’s character. Then, she began to admit her bad taste
Knowing that Finneas was still mad, Megan gently rubbed her swollen cheek and shed tears in a bitter manner. Ever since the bridegroom gave her a slap during the wedding, she was shamefully known to be the most miserable bride among the rich.Therefore, sustaining her marriage became her only way to protect her status and shush the critics at the same time. I must pull myself together and make this work!At the thought of that, Megan took out a small vial and took a pill out of it. When Finneas exited the bathroom, she caringly gave him a glass of water. Feeling thirsty after a whole night of drinking, the man took the glass and guzzled down the liquid in it.After that, Finneas sat on the bed with the same gloomy and solemn expression on his face and asked, “Answer me. Back when you told me Selena had an affair, did you plan all that?You fooled her into making out with a man whom she thought was me. Then, you fabricated a story and fed me your lies about her unfaithful act, didn’t y
Pierre was about to give chase but was soon held back by a thought in his head. What am I gonna say to her? After all, I can’t tell her I only cozied up to her because I thought she was a spy.That’ll surely make her blood boil without a doubt! As the lady drove off and disappeared from his sight, he couldn’t help but feel a stab of pain deep down.At the same time, Meredith was watching the entire scenario from afar before going back to the hotel. Upon her return, she headed upstairs right away, not to the banquet hall but to the lounge to check on Megan. Meanwhile, the latter was crying at the top of her lungs so hard that her voice turned hoarse.She was then seen crazily ripping her wedding dress apart, even knocking all her cosmetics over from the table. My wedding should have been the proudest moment in my life, yet it has now become my biggest humiliation that I have to live down for the rest of my days! There is no way I’ll let things slide so easily!“She must have done that
"If you knew nothing about my purported affair with another man, why would you bring it up? Megan, we’re siblings. How could you side with the others? When I become the subject of slander, are you really going to smear my name as well?”“You! Your infidelity is a known fact. No one is slandering you! Not only did you sleep with another man, you even had his child! That little girl is proof of it! Do you think that you could start off anew as the president of JNS Corporation? No matter what title you hold, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a sl*t!” Megan roared at Selena at the top of her lungs.Megan’s behavior of calling her half-sister a sl*t made the guests question her character.Selena was calm in the face of Megan’s outburst. “I naively thought that Finneas was the father of the child I carried. I took great care of the baby, fearing that I would hurt her. But Finneas suddenly told me that he wanted a breakup because you were pregnant. Ah, I almost forgot about it. Your chi
Selena paused in the middle of her speech. “The wedding of my half-sister and my childhood sweetheart.” The crowd stirred after she dropped the bomb. Wow, there is so much more drama going on. This wedding is too overwhelming!Neither Megan nor Finneas expected Selena to bring up the topic. After all, Selena’s reputation was also at stake, for she had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Despite that, she ended up confessing everything.“When I was thirteen, I learned that our family had agreed to an engagement with the Lake Family. It was at that time I knew for sure that I’d marry the handsome Finneas Lake in the future. I was very young and inexperienced in love. Our relationship was good, and we studied in the same class at the same school.”“When we were young, he was a handsome, gentle, and sophisticated boy. Back then, I always thought that he was the embodiment of the ideal man, worthy of all compliments. Since the engagement, my name has become synonymous with ‘Finneas’s girlfrien
