Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 20 Which Miss Yard Are You Referring To?

Megan thought about her relationship with the Lakes. If anything happened because of the kidnapping, she would be the one to bear most of the brunt!

At first, the engagement between the Lake and the Yard Families happened because the Yards’ fashion chains were still popular in Astoria. However, the tide had turned when her family’s business went downhill in recent years. In contrast, the Lakes’ business was growing and overtook the Yards.

As the engagement was publicly announced early on, the Lakes and the Yards did not plan to call it off. When Meredith became the fiancée of Pierre Fowler, Megan and Finneas’s engagement finally took shape as well, for the Lakes wanted to be connected to the Fowlers through the Yard sisters’ marriages.

The fact that Megan’s marriage hinged on Meredith’s was the reason she agreed to Meredith’s plan to get rid of Juniper.

But the two young masters of the Fowler Family had to save Juniper, and the cat would be out of the bag soon. Meredith’s engagement to Pierre would be precarious, not to mention Megan’s own engagement to Finneas.

“Why are you panicking? Don’t scare yourself for nothing.” Soon, Meredith calmed down.

“But Merry…”

“Answer me: where were we this entire afternoon?” Meredith placed a hand on her sister’s shoulder.

“We were at the beauty salon.” Megan pointed at the salon behind them.

“Yeah. What is there to worry about?” Meredith chuckled with a twinkle in her eye.

Megan finally realized the reason behind Meredith’s ostensible superstar display today—she had wanted to create an alibi!

“But Merry, what if those men rat on you? You must know Pierre Fowler’s character very well. He’s brutal, and everyone nicknamed him ‘Satan’ for a reason!”

When Meredith heard Megan talking bad about Pierre, she felt quite upset. “Of course, I understand him well. Yes, he saved that little girl, but so what? The most he would do is to send her to the police. He will not be interested in people who are not related to him. By the way, stop calling him ‘Satan’ in front of me. As for the men I hired, they will not give me away.”
