“Let’s go, let’s go! Meredith, don’t let President Fowler wait.” Then, Noelle pulled Meredith upstairs. Surrounded by people, Meredith walked in the front, lifting her skirt gingerly as she stepped up the stairs while maintaining her elegance throughout the process. When she was about to reach the top floor, voices from upstairs could suddenly be heard. “Kiss her! Kiss her!”As the voices from upstairs were too loud, everyone downstairs heard it, and now they all started to wonder about it. The female lead had not yet arrived, so how was the male lead supposed to ‘kiss her’?“This should be a rehearsal, right?” Noelle felt that this was the only way to explain it. Thus, the group continued to walk forward, but when they reached the entrance of the top floor, they were stopped by someone.“What are you doing?”The few waiters standing at the door were very burly, and the standard waiter’s clothes on them were almost bursting at the seams. It was clear that they were not waiters at all.
Some of the other people in the crew were laughing about the situation. “My God, today is just so embarrassing. If it were me, I would’ve cried to death on the scene.”“That’s right, Meredith is also one unlucky woman. It’s a widely-known fact that she’s the young- mistress-to-be of the Fowler Family, yet Pierre went and proposed to someone else.”“Well, a man like Pierre must be surrounded by a gaggle of women!”Meanwhile, Meredith could hear everyone talking as she sat in the car, and she was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would just open and swallow her up!At this point, Noelle had gotten into the car as well, and she repeatedly urged everyone not to say anything more about what just happened earlier. After all, she was the one who had kept harping on about the proposal just now, so she wondered if Meredith would explode at her.“Meredith, I’m so s—” Before she could even finish, Meredith had turned toward her and gave her face a hard slap!Even the driver in front was
"Where is the medical kit?” “It’s in the drawer under the coffee table.”Soon, Pierre brought the medicine box from under the coffee table and took Selena’s hand in his. The wound was not long, but it was still quite deep, so Pierre first took the alcohol swab to disinfect it, and then applied the medicinal powder on it.As he did all this, Selena kept watching his eyes. The first time she saw him, she had felt that this man was an unfeeling and emotionless person. Otherwise, why would his eyes be so cold? They were glacial enough to turn people into ice! But now when she was looking at his eyes that were like two bottomless pools, they had a trace of gentleness within them hidden beneath the layer of mysteriousness. Hence, Selena looked on, mesmerized.“Done.” Pierre finished bandaging her wound and let go of her hand. His bandaging technique was not as perfect as it usually was. As this was a necessary skill to pick up when he was in the army, he had perfected the skill, but when he
Selena wondered if she should give herself to him later that night, but he had only just proposed to her without even any confession of love beforehand, and she did not know what he had in mind.In fact, she didn’t even know what she herself thought about this matter. Regardless, we should be taking it slow, right? Isn’t this development a little too fast? After all, we have only known each other for a month.The phone ringing broke the silence in the kitchen. At first, Pierre was a little annoyed, but the ringing kept urging his brain to return to normal, so he left Selena’s lips and picked up the call.When he turned around, Selena hurriedly wiped her lips, which felt numb, raw and even a little sore. This is my first kiss, right? She hadn’t even kissed Finneas before, and as for that first time of hers, she couldn’t remember it at all.“I got it.” Pierre hung up the phone. The call was from Niall, who was waiting for him at the airport.After the kiss, the two of them looked at eac
Pierre stared at Selena, feeling at a loss for words. The cold tone of his voice did not quench her enthusiasm, but on the contrary, her words warmed his heart.He was someone who did not know the concept of ‘home’, even though he already had children. However, her saying that she would wait for him to come back gave him a feeling that there was some sort of bond between them. After all, no one had ever waited for him to come home.In response, Pierre nodded slightly before he went straight to the car. After watching his car’s tail lights disappear in sight, Selena sighed softly and went back into her house. Then, she tiptoed to Juniper’s room to cover her up with the quilt, only to find that the girl had her eyes open!“So you’re not asleep!””Mommy, I saw it all!” Juniper winked wickedly. Two spots of red grew on Selena’s cheeks as she asked, “What did you see?”As she spoke, she came to the bed, lifted the quilt and got into Juniper’s bed. Her first thought was that Juniper might ha
At the building of Star International Entertainment Media, Meredith was sitting there in her own office, her face icy. Thankfully, only some in the crew knew about last night’s incident, and the rest were her own people.The people in the crew did not dare to offend her, so they mostly discussed among themselves privately and did not dare to spread gossip around. As for the people under Meredith, they were even more unlikely to spread it.Everyone knew that she was not in a good mood, so they were nervous around her. Also, Noelle’s face was still swollen after being slapped by Meredith, but she didn’t dare to say that the latter had hit her, so she could only tell everyone that she accidentally hit the wall last night.“Meredith, have some water.” Noelle warily handed a cup of water to Meredith, all the while having her head lowered, not even daring to look up at the latter.Working as Meredith’s assistant, Noelle received a very high salary, and her boss was usually good to the peopl
If Meredith did have a place in Pierre’s heart, he would not have hurt her without a care like this! In one smooth movement, Meredith threw the phone, and the screen of the phone, which had just been repaired, instantly shattered. Noelle shivered in fear and looked at the phone on the ground, not knowing what to do.This phone was Meredith’s beloved possession, and Noelle also knew that this phone was used by her boss to contact Pierre only. Everything inside was about Pierre, and even the Facebook account only had Pierre in its friend list.In fact, Meredith personally brought the phone to the repair shop; she even pleaded with the staff to repair the phone properly and take special care to recover the data inside.But now, she had actually smashed the phone herself! Hence, that man last night must have been Pierre, and it must have been him who had proposed to someone else, which caused Meredith to vent out like this.Realization dawned upon Noelle, but she did not dare to say a wor
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
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
“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
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
"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
“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?”
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
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
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
