Meredith was standing outside the door, covering her mouth in shock after overhearing the conversation. She was going to leave, but she came back after remembering something she wanted to say to Pierre, and she heard the whole thing.
So Pierre doesn’t believe that’s Jamie. He wants to keep looking into this. She gulped nervously. I can’t let that happen. If he keeps looking into this, I might get exposed. I have to prepare for it.
Pierre’s face fell after hearing Niall’s suggestion. He had thought about that before.
If the perpetrator kept Jameson alive despite wanting him dead, then only Selena would do that. Only she would show mercy and leave Jameson alive, but he couldn’t figure out why she wanted to kill Jameson. Is it because someone’s ordering her to do so? That’s the only explanation for now. “There’s no proof yet. Don’t jump to conclusions.”
“Yes, President Fowler. I’ll make sure nobody knows about the investigation.”
“Who goes there?!” Pierre roared at the door, feeling someone standing outside the room.
Meredith knocked on the door and came in, still looking sorrowful. “I think I left my scarf here, Pierre.”
Pierre frowned. He looked at Meredith closely, wanting to find hints of a lie, but she showed none. Then, he rummaged through the bed and pulled out a scarf. “Is it this one?”
Meredith nodded before coming up to him and took the scarf away. “Remember this scarf? You gave it to me after coming back from a business trip. The twins just celebrated their third birthday, and Jamie was the one who helped me wear it.”
Pierre glanced into Meredith’s lovely eyes that were once again filled with tears.
She must be in pain after losing her son. Meredith seldom visited them, and she followed the Fowlers’ orders to never tell anyone about the twins’ background. She had done her job fine.
In the next instance, Pierre opened his arms, much to Meredith’s surprise, but then she slowly fell into his embrace and cried. He patted her back gently. “My condolences.”
Niall was standing beside them with his head down. If President Fowler does think Jamie is still alive, why didn’t he tell Meredith? She’s their mother. She won’t tell anyone.
Meredith was crying on the outside, but she was leaping with joy on the inside. I knew it. Pierre still loves me. We just never got the timing right. Even though he thinks Jamie is still alive, now he’s starting to suspect Selena. Meredith cried for a long while before Pierre held her up. “Alright. You should see Jojo now.”
“Yes. You take care of yourself.”
Meredith took her leave for real, and after coming to the parking lot, she plugged her earphones in before making a call. “Big Ben, I thought I told you to kidnap the kid with the blue hat. How did you get the wrong kid?” Meredith’s target was Joaquin. She thought Joaquin knew a lot of things, some of which shouldn’t be known to a child. She couldn’t keep him alive, and it was the perfect chance to get rid of him as well as sowing discord between the Fowlers and Selena.
Since they were twins, Meredith even asked the servant to prepare different hats for them. After confirming that Joaquin was wearing the blue one, she sent the message to Big Ben, but still they messed it up.
“Yeah, you told us that, and we kidnapped the one in the blue hat. What’s the matter with you?” Big Ben sounded impatient.
