Roland sighed and said, “Well, things change, and so do people.”
At the same time, Meredith returned to her personal residence that her agency company had prepared her upon visiting her parents. She then started browsing through the internet to learn more about the Murray Family and found out that they had a daughter who subsequently went missing. While her fate was left unknown, Meredith’s suspicion was further confirmed by the mystery.
No wonder Linda’s looks seemed a little strange the last time we met. That was all because she underwent plastic surgery to look exactly like Selena. Yes, that explains why she wants Selena dead so badly. Since she knows the bracelets’ secret, it also makes sense to say that she wants to take Selena’s place to become the Murray Family’s daughter. After learning the news, Meredith could barely contain her joy, knowing that she could finally work with Linda like a partner instead of working for her like a servant.
As soon as Megan left, her parents instantly looked through the items she got for them. Food, drinks, and daily necessities… Their daughter had brought them a little of everything, and on top of that, there were some new clothes. For someone who puts a lot of attention on physical appearance like Jezebelle, these clothes were enough to make her excited. Grabbing a few apparel and putting them in front of herself, she was more than delighted, especially since they were nowhere as rich as they used to be.
“Enough! You’re too old for this stuff!” Roland sarcastically mocked his wife.
Jezebelle glared at him and talked back. “What do you know?!”
At that moment, Roland suddenly saw a group of people entering the courtyard just when Jezebelle also heard the noises. When Selena showed up, Roland quickly turned his attention to Jezebelle and said, “Don’t forget what Meredith told us!”
“Worry about yourself!” Jezebelle haughtily glared at Roland as she still remembered her daughter’s words.
Soon, Selena walked into the living, while her bodyguards remained outside.
In the meantime, Roland was seen sitting on the couch with his legs crossed as usual. “Oh, look who we have here! My lovely daughter is back! Did you have to bring along so many people coming home? I almost thought this was a robbery.”
“Exactly! To what do we owe you the pleasure, Mrs. Fowler? Poor relatives like us are only going to embarrass you, Mrs. Fowler!” Jezebelle spoke meanly as she always did.
Nevertheless, Selena wasn’t expecting any kind of polite pleasantries from them either. After all, she knew a leopard couldn’t change its spots. “There is nothing worth robbing here! Bring it in!”
Soon, the bodyguards began to carry the boxes into the house as Jezebelle watched with her eyes brightening up. This stuff from Selena is definitely top-notch!
At the same time, Selena scanned around her surroundings and quickly spotted a shirt right underneath Jezebelle’s bottom. While the shirt looked brand new, the price tag hadn’t even been torn. A moment later, Selena noticed the two boxes in the corner and walked closer to them. “Who dropped by for a visit just now?” She then took a closer look inside the box and saw some supplements and clothes. Although they weren’t worth much, they weren't exactly cheap either. Therefore, it was hard for Selena to tell who had bought those items for them.
“What’s wrong? You don’t even care about visiting us, so who are you to stop the others from visiting us?” Roland widened his eyes and stared at Selena furiously.
“We don’t really have any relatives either, so who just came to visit?” Selena pressed on with her question.
In fact, Selena knew the Yard Family barely had any relatives, indeed. Even though they might have a few of them, she didn’t think they would keep in touch with Roland either. After all, he didn’t really bother to associate with them when he was rich back then and even tried to draw a boundary between himself and his poor relatives. Therefore, when he hit rock bottom, no one actually cared to find how he was.
Unhappy with Selena’s attitude, Roland refuted her in an ironic manner. “Everyone we’ve ever known is more than happy to visit us! You’re the only one who doesn’t bother visiting us!”
