Chapter 147


    Meredith’s question seemed to have enlightened Megan. “Yeah, how did she manage to get her


    hands on so much money?”


    “Wealth corrupts men, whereas wealthy women are generally corrupted. How can you forget about


    this rule of thumb?”


    Megan eximed, “Yeah! That b*tch must’ve found herself another man! Judging from her looks, I


    bet she’s great at seducing men! No, I must investigate her! I need to know everything about her!”


    “She started her business in Springvale. I have a friend who lives there, so you should go


    investigate in person. It will also let you avoid dealing with the divorce.”

    “If I went, wouldn’t Finneas get even bolder?”


    “Don’t you worry. I’ll watch over him in your stead.”


    Megan trusted Meredith, so she caught a ne to Springvale in the afternoon that day itself.


    Meanwhile, back in JNS Corporation.


    Things were going well in thepany based in Astoria, which seemed to be the case ever since


    Selena agreed to be Pierre’s girlfriend. However, they never contacted each other ever since


    establishing their rtionship. They didn’t even exchange a text, which disconcerted Selena, as she


    couldn’t help but wonder if Pierre had something else that he hadn’t told her.


    Checking on her phone, she saw no updates on his social media despite havingbeled him as a


    close friend. “That’s weird. What are his ns anyway?”


    At that moment, Linda came in after knocking on the door, prompting Selena to put her phone away.


    “President Yard, your father is here again.”


    Upon hearing that, she heaved a sigh. “What is it this time?”


    “He told me that your family’spany will soon be bankrupt, so he needs to see you.”


    “Are you sure they’re going bankrupt soon?” While she knew thepany would sooner orter


    come close to being bankrupt, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.


    “I did a quick investigation on the matter. He wasn’t lying. The shareholders of Yard Group are in a


    state of upheaval due to this.”


    “Something’s wrong. Although their sales promotion is a vicious cycle, they had just started it, so the


    effects shouldn’t have kicked in until the next quarter before spreading out. It should be until then


    that they would be forced to close shop and dere bankruptcy. This is happening way too soon.”


    While Selena knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t end well, they shouldn’t havee to this so


    soon. Linda merely shrugged at her.


    “Let him in.” All of a sudden, she thought of someone else. Could it be that Pierre did something? If


    nobody interfered with the process, Yard Group should be able tost at least until next summer.


    The fact that they were almost bankrupt by now could only mean that they were faced with pressure


    from all sides, and the only person capable of such deeds would be none other than Pierre Fowler.


    In the meantime, Rnd came into the room with a ttering look on his face. This time, he sat


    down obediently across from Selena, and neither did he make a show of himself by barking orders.


    “Selena, our family’spany is in a dire predicament. I wouldn’t havee to you unless I was


    truly out of options, so please, help your father out.”


    Maintaining an aloof facade, Selena lectured, “Do you understand why yourpany brand


    deteriorated so quickly? It’s all because of Megan, who works as your designer! By iming to be


    on the cutting edge of the market, you priced your products so highly, yet her designs are just


    mediocre! It’s no surprise that yourpany is going bankrupt!”


    “Yes, you are right in all regards! However, you have to help me out! Thepany was set up by


    your mother and me. You wouldn’t just sit by idly and watch her efforts go to waste, right?” Rnd


    had no choice but to mention her mother. Staring at him, Selena despised him for only mentioning


    her mother when things came to that point.
