Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 227

“Hello, it’s me. How is your injury?” A baritone voice could be heard through the call.

“It’s alright.”

“There are some problems at the base that require your attention. Will you be able to handle them?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Pierre replied, “No problem.”

Meanwhile, Selena heard him talking on the phone when she arrived at the door. Although she only heard his last sentence, she could determine that he sounded different from his usual self, as his tone was less haughty. He didn’t sound like he was talking to his subordinate, as he wouldn’t need to say those words to them.

As soon as she entered the room, he hung up the call. “Do you have something that you need to do?” She tried to appear casual while she posed the question.

“Yeah. I will need to go on a business trip.” He didn’t hide the fact that he might be away for some time from her. In fact, if it wasn’t for his injury, he might have been gone since some time ago.

“But you aren’t fully healed yet.” There was a seriousness about her when she stared at him. “You were bleeding just this morning. What is it that requires your immediate attention? You should take a few more days off.”

“I’ve already been hospitalized for a week.” He made sure to put emphasis on the time period. For someone who was managing both Fowler Corporation and Empire Group, the documents piled up over the week could easily amount to double his height. Although he had also been working on the more urgent tasks while he was hospitalized, those that weren’t as urgent were all piled up, and would continue to increase exponentially.

Due to her being in a similar position as him, Selena understood his concerns, so she said nothing. Therefore, Pierre was discharged by the next day.

Meanwhile, back in Yard Residence, Meredith finally came home after more than twenty calls from Jezebelle. She had been burying herself in work recently, as she didn’t want to lose her career on top of losing her man, and she was determined to present herself as being unaffected to the public. As soon as she stepped into the house, all of her resentment poured out in waves. “Mom, you’d better be concise. I’m still in the middle of shooting a film that is extremely important to my career.”

“Why are you still busying yourself with work when your sister is about to be sentenced to jail? Meredith, the family will be depending on you now that it has come to this!” Jezebelle sounded somewhat resentful of her daughter, as the latter was a top celebrity. Within the entertainment industry, she was the highest paid actress who also had the highest endorsement and appearance fees. However, she had never lent a hand despite the Yards’ financial misfortune.

“Mom, can’t you be more clear-headed? Do you want everybody to know that I have a sister who is about to be sentenced to jail?” The mention of Megan vexed her as she thought Megan was utterly useless as a sister.

Initially, she assumed that the worm would turn, and Megan would at least be able to drag Selena down with her seeing that she already had nothing to lose. However, not only did she fail to kill Selena, but she also ended up hurting Pierre in the process. With how things turned out, she couldn’t help but wonder why she had to have such a foolish sister.

“But you can’t just let her go behind bars! Since you’re the only one who can help her, you should help!” Jezebelle humbled herself. “She is your sister after all! Are you really going to watch as she is sentenced?”

“How am I supposed to help her when I am struggling to stay afloat myself?”

“You have to go beg Pierre! He is the father of your sons, so he will be obliged to help Megan for your sake!”

Putting a hand over her forehead, Meredith retorted, “Mom, are you really telling me to go beg for Pierre’s mercy when Megan stabbed him in the stomach? Do you think it’s even possible that he might help?”
