Nonetheless, she wouldn’t admit it. She wouldn’t admit that she lost to Selena. In her eyes, Selena was nothing but scum.
“And honestly, Selena didn’t turn our lives into living hell. We did. If you hadn’t taken her children away; if you hadn’t told Pierre you were their mother; if you hadn’t come up with that plan to approach him, you wouldn’t have gotten sold off to the brothel. And as for me…” Megan teared up. “If I hadn’t hooked up with Finneas, I wouldn’t have gotten myself into this mess. Yes, Selena’s cruel, but we did this to ourselves.”
As Megan spoke, she stared downward, but she wasn’t going to let herself fall further into despair. “Forget about Selena, Merry. Forget about your grudge. Think of this as a lesson. Dust yourself off and keep moving on.” She patted Meredith’s head. “All we have to do is live our lives quietly. Let bygones be bygones, huh?”
“Yeah, sure…” Meredith drawled, but she scoffed silently. What a loser. She’s terrified of Selena. “Whatever you say. You saved me, after all.”
Of course, Megan knew Meredith was still angry, but she didn’t think much about it. She thought Meredith was still traumatized from her time at the brothel, so she’d leave Meredith to her own devices. She’ll get it one day. Then, Megan threw Linda’s name card away. “I hope she won’t contact me again.”
“I’m feeling tipsy, Megan. Can you go out, please? I want to sleep.”
“Of course. Sleep tight. I’ll be off now.” Megan left her alone after that, but the moment she did, Meredith scooped the card out of the trash can, and she saw that Linda’s number was written on it.
“You might be scared, Megan, but I’m not. I’ll get her for us.” She smirked.
…
Meanwhile, Niall found an international kindergarten for the kids. Selena didn’t really want to send them to the kindergarten, but it was Pierre’s orders. She was already busy enough with the companies on her plate, so sending them to a kindergarten was a good idea. Juniper and Joaquin could hold their own anyway.
Once the kids were sent away, Selena began focusing on the companies’ management, then she realized it was still too hard on her, so she wanted to hire someone as president to help her out.
It wouldn’t be easy. She’d have to find someone from another company. If she handled it poorly, it might affect her business relation with that company. Hence, she started going through the candidates and finally set her eyes on Yvonne Carson, the vice-president of Auspicious Inc.
Yvonne was a veteran in Auspicious Inc. She could have become the president, but then the board of directors decided to instate a new guy as the president, much to her chagrin. By now, she was already thirty-eight and a mother of two. Her youngest kid was already attending kindergarten, which meant she was at the peak of her career.
But rumors had it that her temper’s bad. Selena sent someone to look into her case, then she found out Yvonne loved to hit the gym. Because of that, she signed up for a membership in the same gym and started working out too.
After changing her clothes out in the locker room, Selena went around the gym once before finally running into Yvonne. She was wearing all black, while her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she was on a treadmill.
Selena waited somewhere else for a while, then she went to the treadmill beside Yvonne after the previous gym goer had left.
Even though Selena was beside her, Yvonne didn’t care about it, since there were a lot of people moving around in the gym.
