Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 76

In the meantime, Meredith was seen with an unhappy look on her face. Ever since her sister’s wedding, she had only filmed a movie and turned down all her jobs because she was too moody to accept any of them. Therefore, she had only spent the last few days loitering at home.

“What should I do now, Mom?” Megan bitterly gazed at Jezebelle.

“Your situation is still not as bad as you think. Look, you and Finneas are already married, which is something etched in stone. So, if he really wants a divorce, he’ll still likely have to think it through. Thus, your situation can afford to wait, but on the other hand, Meredith’s situation seems a little more pressing.”

Jezebelle then shifted her gaze to Meredith. “What’s your plan?”

Knowing both of her daughters, Jezebelle was aware of the differences between their characters and strengths. Although Megan never seemed to run out of ideas, she was an arrogant loudmouth most of the time. On the contrary, Meredith was more reserved and unfathomable, as she was often able to come up with better and more sophisticated ideas. Therefore, she was curious to know what her younger daughter was thinking. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“What plan? Nope, I don’t have one,” Meredith calmly replied. In fact, she was still thinking about what she should do deep down since the matter was more complicated than it seemed. Selena is the biological mother of those two boys, so I must never try too hard, or I could give myself away. Thus, I must be careful with every move I make.

“What do you mean by that? Doesn’t this matter seem pressing enough to you?!” Jezebelle agitatedly questioned her daughter while patting her own lap. “ As long as your problem is solved, your sister’s issue will go away as well.”

Jezebelle’s words caught Megan’s attention, as she couldn’t agree more with her mother. Mom was right. Once Meredith and Pierre tie the knot, I’ll be the boss in the Lake Family since they fear the Fowler Family. By then, I’ll see who dares to bring up the matter that happened at the wedding.

Meanwhile, Meredith remained silent without saying a single word.

“Let me ask you. Are Jojo and Jamie your kids?” Jezebelle asked, staring at Meredith in a stern manner.

The sisters were stunned by their mother’s question as they exchanged gazes with each other. While Jezebelle was not aware of the entire story at all, Megan had left home earlier on, only to come back later and announce to the family that she had given birth to two children for Pierre. In order to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention, she decided to keep the truth a secret from everyone else, including their own mother. Besides the sisters themselves, there was a nurse who was also aware of the truth. Nonetheless, they had already bribed her to take care of the matter before she left the city for some place else.

“O-Of course!” Meredith answered in an unnatural manner.

“Eureka! Since they are your children, they are also the Fowler Family’s descendants and future heirs. So, all you need to do is to tell everyone that your little boys are still clingy to you. I bet Old Mr. Fowler will surely go soft on you when he hears this. By then, he’ll likely give you the green light to go ahead with the wedding!” Jezebelle said while clapping her hands.

What a good idea! As long as the boys are mine, I’ll be able to use them to my advantage. Once they say they wanna stay with me, I’ll be one step closer to my goal.

Soon, Jezebelle added, “Furthermore, Selena is a promiscuous woman who once had an affair. Furthermore, her useless daughter will only add to the Fowler Family’s refusal to accept her, even

though she might be some sort of a rich president.” As soon as her mother’s words dawned on her, she made up her mind, knowing what she should do.

Meanwhile, Selena was happy to see her team members recharged and energetic after the two-day break. It looks like I made the right choice. Nonetheless, one of her subordinates had been spending her break working, and it turned out to be none other than—Pauline.

While everyone was busy preparing for an upcoming meeting, Linda made Selena a cup of coffee and placed it right beside her hand. I really need to deliberate on JNS Corporation’s plan in entering Astoria’s market. After all, there have been a lot of companies wanting to work with us ever since the hoo-ha at the wedding.
