Selena had already expected her cursing. She knew that Jezebelle had never thought kindly of her.
“My dad is gone, so you and I are not related anymore.”
At this, Jezebelle widened her eyes and halted her cries. She wasn’t dumb; of course she knew what Selena meant by those words. When Roland was still alive, she could still act as the stepmother, but now that Roland was dead, what was she? Nothing!
In that case, with Selena’s position at this moment, she could easily kill Jezebelle without lifting a finger.
“Oh, Roland! The tragedy that befell you!” Jezebelle started the waterworks again as she fell to the ground next to Roland’s body.
Selena had no idea if there was any sincerity to the act. “Enough. Instead of putting on shows for me, why don’t you ask your daughters to come back for their father’s funeral?” Selena’s voice was still cold.
Jezebelle wiped her tears, lost in thought.
“Don’t worry. He is my flesh and blood; I won’t pull any stunts at his funeral. Even if I have a score to settle, it will have to wait until after the funeral.” After saying that, Selena glanced at Jezebelle in disdain. “If you don’t tell them, I have my own ways of notifying them.”
In the end, Jezebelle called Megan to attend. Yet, Selena was not surprised about it.
Because of the funeral, Pierre and Selena could only stay there for the moment, since they were still relatives.
“Do you think Jezebelle will ask Meredith to come back?”
