“Megan, can’t you stay out of trouble just for once? Why won’t you obey the rules even in jail? Two years will pass in a flash! I don’t have time to pick up your pieces behind you if you’re going to keep causing trouble!” Meredith was already panicking after Pierre began doubting her, so her tone was rather unkind after catching wind of Megan’s shenanigans.
However, Megan maintained a look of grief. “Meredith, you have to get me out of here! Didn’t you promise to come up with a solution? Do you have one now? I really can’t stay here any longer! Please, I’m begging you to get me out of here!” She could no longer tolerate the torture from the other inmates. I can’t take this anymore!
“I can’t even take care of myself now, so I don’t have time for your bullsh*t! Besides, you brought this upon yourself by making a foolish attempt on Selena’s life when you don’t have what it takes to kill her! I wouldn’t have to deal with so much trouble now had you succeeded in killing her!”
Upon noticing the vicious look on Meredith’s face, Megan was utterly baffled. I’m her sister! I have always been obedient to her! I did whatever she told me to do, and even helped keep the most important secret in her life! she thought. In fact, she never expected such treatment from Meredith.
Meredith finally calmed down after a while. “Just stay put while you’re in there. Don’t reach out to me unless you have a valid reason, because I also have a lot on my plate. Besides, have you ever seen a celebrity who frequently goes on jail visits?”
“Meredith...”
Seeing the look of dejection that Megan wore had Meredith softening her attitude. “Alright, alright, you don’t need to give me that look. Stop playing the victim in front of me. Don’t worry; I’ll work on rescuing you after I deal with Pierre.” With that, Meredith stood to leave without even looking back. She was in a foul mood today, so she wasn’t inclined to spend time fretting over Megan’s problems.
After that, the prison officer led Megan away, who noticed that Meredith hadn’t even inquired about the injury on her face. Instead, Meredith lambasted her for putting herself in that situation.
Megan felt disheartened. She knew that Meredith wouldn’t rescue her. After all, Meredith had been selfish ever since they were young, as she only ever thought of herself. Now that she was imprisoned, of course Meredith would be cutting ties with her, let alone lending a hand, especially when Meredith was in no position to do so. Thus, she knew she had to help herself.
Meanwhile, in Springvale.
Selena was gradually healing from her injuries. Nobody would notice the wound on her arm after she put on clothes and took extra care to not bump into anything, so she had resumed her routine to visit Juniper in the hospital. Juniper was in good condition, while the doctor was still insisting that Selena should either find Juniper’s biological father or give birth to another child when they still had time.
After leaving the hospital, she stared out of the window in a daze while sitting in the car. Her floating thoughts were all about Pierre as she wondered what he was doing. They had been texting each other recently on WhatsApp.
“Miss Yard, there’s a construction site ahead of us, so we’ll have to take another route.” The driver stopped momentarily. The driver was assigned to her by Hades, but he was actually there to monitor Selena so that Hades could track her at all times.
“Okay.” Selena didn’t care if they took a detour since she had nothing else to do anyway. Therefore, the driver drove the car onto another route. When they passed by a mansion, she noticed the playground in it. There were a few taller facilities that could be seen even from outside.
