Chapter 177


    “By the way, isn’t Selena Yard—the president of JNS Corporation—your half-sister?” Helen looked


    at Meredith tentatively.


    “Mrs. Fowler, I’m not at liberty to say anything about her.”


    However, Helen seemed to be able to see through Meredith. “Meredith, the Fowler Family has long


    since regarded you as the mistress of the family throughout the past few years. What could still be


    off-limits between us? Just tell me. It’s okay, for I know my limits.”


    After a moment’s hesitation, Meredith answered, “Mrs. Fowler, this sister of mine… Well, it’s a long


    story. Her mother passed away when she was young, and my mother wasn’t in the position to really


    discipline her since she was merely a stepmother, so she’d always been running wild at home. She


    had a boyfriend in her teenage years, and her entire personal life is a mess. For some inexplicable


    reason, she has always despised me and my sister, so she’s perturbed when we’re doing well. You


    saw what happened during my sister’s wedding with Finneas Lake. In reality, the truth wasn’t as she


    imed. It was her who fooled around outside and got pregnant with some man, so Finneas


    dumped her, but she pushed all the me on my sister. Nheless, we’re family, so we didn’t


    want to make a huge fuss out of it.”


    Helen naturally knew that Meredith’s words contained falsehoods, but it would also be bad for her if


    Selena truly got together with Pierre, so she had to stand with Meredith. “Don’t worry, Meredith. I’ll


    definitely keep a close eye on Jojo and Jamie. As for Selena and Pierre, you know that I can’t say


    anything since I’m only his stepmother. Pierre is still young, so perhaps he’s only sowing his wild


    oats?”


    Then, she took Meredith’s hand. “Actually, rtionships are like flying a kite. The more you pull it


    closer to you, the farther it flies. However, when you let go, it’ll draw closer to you instead. Most


    importantly, the string must be in your hands.”


    Meredith mulled her words over carefully before she smiled and nodded. She’s right. The string


    must be in my hand. I need to wait for an opportunity; the perfect opportunity. Just you wait, Selena


    Yard!


    On the third day after Pierre and Selena put on a public disy of affection, Pierre was summoned


    to John’s office for a talk. In John’s office, Pierre sat on the chairzily and leaned back, seemingly


    not at all respectful toward his own father.


    When John saw such impudent behavior from him, he truly wanted tombast him, but he


    suppressed his anger. “What’s going on between you and Selena Yard?” The media reports were


    extremely suggestive, and everyone was specting on this issue, so he naturally had to rify this


    matter, especially since Helen said something to himst night.


    “We’re dating.” Pierre had admitted it boldly.


    “Nonsense!” John abruptly mmed a hand on the table, sending the few pieces of paper on the


    table fluttering to the floor.


    Nevertheless, Pierre snickered. “I’m already 30 years old, yet I’ve still got to ask for your leave to


    date?”


    “You b*stard! So, the shooting back when I had you marry Meredith Yard was all a show you put


    up?” Only now did John realize this. He hadn’t suspected anything since Pierre was injured, but


    now that this issue with Selena hade up, he couldn’t help suspecting that his son had truly


    orchestrated everything back then. He’d actually managed to fool me!

    Meanwhile, Pierre said nothing, a tacit acquiescence on his part. They were father and son, so they


    possessed the same acumen. For that reason, concealing the truth wouldn’t do him any good.
