Selena sat on the floor before leaning against the bed in a daze. She then reached out to touch Juniper's head. "It's okay. You go back to sleep, and I'll get myself some cold medicine."With that, Selena tried to get up, but her knees gave way, and she fell to the ground."Mommy, you should rest. I'll go get Miss Linda to come over." Juniper rolled out of bed and went to look for her phone. Just when she was about to call Selena's assistant Linda, she suddenly thought of an idea. Next, she dialed Pierre's number instead.Selena was so weak that she didn't notice what Juniper was doing. She simply thought that her daughter was calling Linda.Pierre was asleep in the middle of the night when he heard a noise coming from the phone and saw Juniper's call. Feeling rather odd about it, he picked it up."Hello.""Mr. Handsome, my mommy has a fever, and it's awful. Will you come over?"Pierre barely hesitated before saying, "Yes."The woman had been bathing in cold water for the whole aftern
Facing Juniper's sincere gaze, Pierre nodded slightly. Juniper immediately revealed a brilliant smile, which was as clear as the blue sky.She waved her hand toward him and said, "Remember to bring your sons to my birthday party tomorrow!"Pierre then quickly left. He went straight back to his house, sat on the couch, and lit a cigarette as the image of Juniper's clear eyes kept lingering in his mind.A long time later, he stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. "Prepare a ring.""W-What? What? Mr. Fowler, what did you say?" Niall, on the other side, couldn't believe his ears."Prepare a ring," Pierre repeated."Okay, okay, okay. What kind of ring do you need?""Anything will do."Pierre hung up the phone at once and got ready to go to the company.At this time, Meredith was sitting in the president's office of the Empire Group. When she heard Niall say something about a ring, she immediately raised her head to look at him.A ring? Pierre as
Meredith drove directly to the Fowler Residence. The servants of the Fowler Family had always been very kind to her. After all, she was the biological mother of the two little young masters. It was only a matter of time before she married Pierre, so sooner or later, she would become the matriarch of the Fowler Family. Thus, naturally, they should be pleasant toward her.Joaquin was in his room fiddling with his Nerf guns while Jameson was sitting to the side painting something. There was a large pile of paint materials on the floor. After Jameson played with the brush for a while, he simply dropped it to the floor and used his palm to paint. In the end, he was completely covered with paint, looking like a colorful little cat.The door opened at this time, and the two little ones looked up in unison to see Meredith standing in the doorway in a white dress."Mommy!" Jameson immediately got up and ran toward her.Meredith was shocked to see the messy paint on Jameson's clothes, and just
Meredith pointed at Juniper, who was checking out the cakes on display. Megan immediately looked over in the direction where Megan was pointing, and that elfin and lively little girl turned out to be Selena's daughter!"She looks just as nasty as Selena!" As Megan spoke, she rushed straight over.Meredith stared at Juniper, noting how the girl looked so similar to Selena as if she was really carved out of the same mold as her mother, but she also resembled Pierre a little. However, the resemblance with him would not be realized unless one knew they were father and daughter, and if one didn't know, they couldn't be linked together at all.Meredith was glad that this girl looked like Selena because if she had looked like Pierre, that would be rather terrible since everyone would know who her father really was.But the appearance of this little girl made her feel a sense of danger as well. After all, they had thought that this little girl would not survive; she was born with a respirator
Selena watched as a man dressed in dirty clothes carried Juniper away, and as fast as she could, she rushed out. However, when she came out of the store, she lost sight of them.After all, the cake store was located on one of the busiest streets in the center of Digton City.Selena looked around but found nothing and decided to call the police. She continued looking around the street while picking up her phone and started calling the police.Meredith drove the car with an indifferent expression while Megan was cursing and complaining to the side. When the car stopped, Megan took a look out the window and found that Meredith had unexpectedly driven the car to the entrance of a beauty salon. "Merry, how are you still in the mood to get a beauty treatment? My lungs are going to explode from anger!" Megan was still furious.However, Meredith simply smiled. "Why think about those unhappy things? Megan, look at this wretched state of yours. You will feel better after getting a good facial,"
It took Juniper a lot of strength to sit up. Since her limbs were tied up, she lifted her hands, and with her fingers, she wrote a few letters on the window: SOS."Jojo, why are her hands still tied up?" Jameson shot a puzzled look at Joaquin, who was frowning."Hey, kiddos! What are you doing? Get lost!" Back from buying cigarettes, Leopard ran toward them while smoking. Hearing his voice, Juniper hurriedly lowered her head.She knew that the two boys were children who could not save her. They definitely needed to get help from adults, which would take some time. Therefore, she could not let her kidnappers find out that she was sending SOS signals."Your van…"Joaquin instantly covered Jameson's mouth."Get lost! Did you hear me?" Leopard yelled at them. At the same time, he took a glance from the window to make sure that Juniper was still tied up.Joaquin whispered something in Jameson's ear, and the latter nodded in agreement."I like your van. Why don't you sell it to me? How much
Back at the White Swan Bakery, Selena had lodged a police report. The police officers arrived and were retrieving the surveillance footage of the bakery. Thankfully, the bakery had a surveillance system in place.Selena saw the scene showing Megan grabbing Juniper's hair and slapping the little girl. The disturbing sight almost caused her to faint. The world was filled with man-eating beasts, but how could she forget that human nature was the worst of evils.Selena had always been wary of human traffickers, but she totally overlooked the existence of monsters like Megan."It's her! It must be her!" She shot up and screamed, pointing agitatedly at the screen. The officer gestured at her to sit down. "Miss Yard, please keep calm. Let's finish watching the entire footage."The next scene showed Megan and Meredith leaving the bakery. About five minutes later, an unkempt man dashed into the bakery, grabbed Juniper, and ran out at lightning speed.The footage was paused at the scene where t
Megan thought about her relationship with the Lakes. If anything happened because of the kidnapping, she would be the one to bear most of the brunt!At first, the engagement between the Lake and the Yard Families happened because the Yards' fashion chains were still popular in Astoria. However, the tide had turned when her family's business went downhill in recent years. In contrast, the Lakes' business was growing and overtook the Yards.As the engagement was publicly announced early on, the Lakes and the Yards did not plan to call it off. When Meredith became the fiancée of Pierre Fowler, Megan and Finneas's engagement finally took shape as well, for the Lakes wanted to be connected to the Fowlers through the Yard sisters' marriages.The fact that Megan's marriage hinged on Meredith's was the reason she agreed to Meredith's plan to get rid of Juniper.But the two young masters of the Fowler Family had to save Juniper, and the cat would be out of the bag soon.
