“Sure.” With that, Selena left the study. As soon as she stepped out of the room, Hades swept everything down from the table onto the floor. His eyes were blood-shot as he thought, Who was it? Who revealed to her that Jameson is here? I was forced to resort to such lowly tactics!
Without wasting any time, Selena caught a flight to Astoria. She was short on time, so she didn’t want to waste even a single minute. After all, she wasn’t even sure if a month’s time would be enough for her to find out who Juniper’s biological father was. When she was mulling over her circumstances after getting into her car, the ringing of her phone interrupted her thoughts. Despite noticing that it was from an unknown number, she still picked up the call anyway. “Hello.”
“Hello, are you Miss Selena Yard? I’m calling from Digton Correctional Center. Do you know Megan Yard?”
“Yes.” Selena didn’t even want to mention her name.
“She has been wanting to meet you, so do you have time to drop by at the facility for a visit?”
Hearing that, Selena bit on her lip. Might her sudden request to meet me have something to do with Juniper’s biological father? She supposed she would rather leave the prison empty-handed than let the opportunity pass her by, so she replied, “Alright.”
Hence, she drove to the prison right away. Soon, she arrived at the visitor’s corner following the prison officer’s lead. A moment later, Megan was being led out by an officer. As soon as she saw Selena, she rushed over with her handcuffs still on her to pick up the handset at the counter. Selena picked up the handset too and spoke into it. “Why do you want to meet me?”
“I’ll tell you who Juniper’s biological father is in exchange for you getting me out of here.” Megan’s eyes were filled with hope and longing; it was obvious that she couldn’t even bear to stay here for any longer.
“What are you trying to pull here?” Selena wouldn’t trust Megan that easily, as they didn’t reach an agreement last time they tried to negotiate. Besides, Selena would never want Megan out of prison unless it was absolutely necessary to do so.
“I’m serious about this! Get me out of here! I don’t want to stay here for any longer!” Megan was weeping quietly. She dared not weep out loud as she feared the prison officer’s scolding. After that, she rolled up her sleeve to reveal the scars on her arm. She even unbuttoned her clothes carefully to reveal the even more visible scars on her skin. “The other inmates tortured me everyday. These scars are from the cigarettes they pressed on me. I’m sorry, Selena. I know I did you wrong when I fell in love with Finneas back then. I was jealous of you and your marriage, so I set you up to be raped and impregnated. I know now that I made a mistake, so please help me! I’m begging you! Please!”
When Selena saw those terrible scars on Megan, she realized that she had never expected to see the latter in such a state, but she wouldn’t take pity on evildoers like her. However, since Megan begged for her help, she decided to take advantage of that. “I can help you, but I will need to know who Juniper’s biological father is right away. I can’t wait till you’re released. You know it’ll take a while before I will be able to secure your release, but it’ll be too late for Juniper if I wait till then, so I need to know who her father is now.”
After opening her mouth, Megan lowered her head, seemingly in deep thought. She was worried that Selena would leave her to rot in jail if she revealed the truth now, but in her current situation, she could only trust that Selena would keep her promise.
Upon noticing Megan’s hesitation, Selena stood up from her seat. “I won’t be wasting my time here if you aren’t going to tell me.”
“Hold on!” Megan cried out loud. “You have to promise me that you’ll get me out if I tell you now!”
