Chapter 154


    Pierre didn’t interject, for he knew that things weren’t that simple. Even though he had driven the Yard


    Family close to bankruptcy, he knew just exactly how much money Meredith had in her hands.


    For the past four years, the Fowlers, including himself, had given her many things. With everything


    added up, Meredith owned more than one could count when it came to jewelry and such.


    In addition to that, she was at the peak of her career in the entertainment industry now with the highest


    pay. Hence, she could definitely afford to buy a jade bracelet by herself.


    “But many have their eyes set on this jade bracelet and it’s said to be very popr. I’m worried it will fall


    into the hands of others. That’s why I need your help,” she added. It’s only because of money? Pierre


    wondered.


    “I’ve never asked you for anything before, Pierre, and this is the first time I’m asking for your help.


    Please help me this time. This jade bracelet is really very important to me,” Meredith continued.


    “Okay.” He had agreed readily without a moment’s hesitation. “Thank you so much!”


    “I’m going back to work if there’s nothing else,” he said and turned to leave the reception room.


    At the sight of him leaving, Meredith took a step forward, but she wasn’t able to say another word. Is


    there really nothing else to be said between us? she asked herself mentally. Sighing, she turned to


    leave the room, but before she left, she recovered her usual spirited look, lest others would notice her


    difiture.


    Rnd was the first to notice that the jade bracelet would be auctioned, and he was distraught


    because he had been trying to find out the whereabouts of the bracelet everywhere. As it turned out, he


    saw that the jade bracelet was about to be auctioned off.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Previously, Selena had promised to help the Yard Family if they returned her the bracelet. In fact,


    Meredith could have directly asked Pierre for help to get the Yard Family through the crisis, but she


    didn’t do that and asked for the bracelet instead. This was because she was cing her final bet on


    Pierre if he would help her get the bracelet.


    This was very important to her; if Pierre helped her to get the bracelet, she could help her father return


    it to Selena and in turn, she would help their family through the crisis. At the same time, it would create


    a rift between Selena and Pierre. That would be akin to hitting two birds with one stone.


    However, if he refused to help her, she would have to prepare for her next move.


    After returning to his own office in a huff, Pierre then called for Niall. “What the hell are you doing? Why


    didn’t you make it clear who was the person in the reception room?” he yelled at him angrily.


    Niall felt wronged; Pierre was the one who dashed straight for the reception room anxiously even


    before he could even finish his sentence.


    “I told you correctly that it was Miss Yard who—”


    “Make it clear which Miss Yard you mean next time!” Pierre interjected loudly, and Niall immediately


    nodded. “Now get out of here!”


    With his head hanging, Niall was about to leave the room when Pierre’s cell phone rang, and it was


    Meredith who had sent him a picture of the jade bracelet.


    “Come back here!” he shouted, and Niall, who was on the verge of tears, turned around.


    Showing the picture to him, Pierre said, “Bid this for me during the Royal Auction. No matter how much


    it costs or who thepetitor is, you have to outbid everyone during the auction.”


    “Understood!”


    Until now, no one had dared to vie for anything that Pierre had set his eyes on.


    Just as Niall was about to leave again, he barked, “Wait a second!”


    Squeezing his eyes shut with a pained expression, Niall took a deep breath and turned around once


    more. “Do you have any other orders, President Fowler?”


    “Find a restaurant with a good atmosphere and book a table.”


    “What would you like to eat, President Fowler? Or perhaps you have any special request for the


    ambience of the restaurant?”


    “It’s for a date. Figure it out yourself!”


    Almost instantly, Niall understood what he meant, so he spun around once more to head for the exit. At


    the door, he turned around to nce at Pierre.
