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. Meredith's engagement t
Pierre's pupils shrunk threateningly, and he slowly took a seat in his chair. "Go on." "The incident started from the moment Juniper ran into Megan and Meredith at the bakery.The two sides got into a conflict, after which the two Miss Yards left the scene. Not long after, a homeless man barged into the bakery and forcefully took Juniper. We investigated the van bought by the young masters, but it is a scrapped vehicle with a fake number plate.""As for the two kidnappers, they have criminal records-they're two human traffickers who are now gone. But according to the police, Miss Selena Yard insisted that the kidnapping was the doing of Megan and Meredith Yard."At this point, Niall paused and asked cautiously, "President Fowler, do we need to continue the investigation?"If the investigation continued, they would soon be looking into Meredith. After all, this incident was more or less related to her, and she was a public figure whose reputation would be affected by any controversy. T
"Jojo, are you going to hurt my poor heart too? Have mercy... Why does this happen to me?" Jameson suddenly fell to the floor and started crying.Juniper immediately sat up in bed. Of course, she knew that these two boys had saved her, and she did not hate them at all. She just simply wasn't in the mood to talk and preferred to be left alone in her own world. However, the situation in her room was getting a little messy."Stop crying."Jameson still sobbed and wailed."Alright, I will talk to you."At that, Jameson instantly stopped crying and stared at her pitifully. "For real?”She gave him a light nod. Gleeful, Jameson once again confirmed that fake crying was a time-tested, useful strategy. It worked on his grandparents, Jojo, the family servants, and now the cute girl!Selena broke into a relieved smile. Although Juniper still looked expressionless, the fact that she talked was valuable enough.At that time, Selena's phone suddenly buzzed, and she hurriedly took the call in a cor
Finneas had dreamed of getting a partnership with JNS Corporation. Therefore, when Megan mentioned that she'd pick up her gown, he immediately put everything aside and followed her to the store to try his luck. To his dismay, the first thing he ran into was Selena Yard, the shameless b*tch!Upon seeing his face, Selena sneered with a hint of mockery, which was mostly directed at herself.How did I get blinded by love and fell for a man like him?"Evil? Scheming? I don't think I deserve those adjectives." She lifted her chin and glared threateningly at Megan. "Those are for describing the lady beside you."At this point, Selena's stare could almost burn holes right through Megan.She was agitated at the thought of Megan grabbing Juniper's hair and slapping Juniper, and she badly wanted to tear Megan into pieces. However, the timing was not right-a physical assault would only play out in Megan's favor."Selena, what nonsense is that? Did I somehow offend you again?""Offend me? Did you
There were people who could easily command attention with their voice, and Pierre Fowler was one of them. Everyone in the store could not help but look at him.At the entrance, he showed up looking smart and elegant in activewear. The moment he stepped into the store, the air around him seemed to have frozen. He strolled over to Selena and put his arm around her shoulders. "Are you okay?"Her left cheek was swollen and red from the slap, but even her right cheek was flushed now. In that instance, everything around her felt surreal. "I'm fine.""How could you be fine? Your cheek is swollen."Upon seeing the man, Finneas perked up and observed him. Despite the man's authoritative aura, Finneas straightened his back due to his inflated ego and scoffed. With Selena Yard's background and personality, how good could her man be?He coughed and interrupted them, "Well, well, I didn't expect you to get a new partner in no time! You're loose indeed." As if that was not enough, he shot Selena a
