Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy novel Chapter 20

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.”

“How could you be sure?”

To that, Meredith merely smirked in silence.

At home, Selena stayed beside Juniper all the time, including bedtime. Around midnight, she was woken up from Juniper’s intense struggle, and she quickly pulled her daughter into a hug.

“Mommy’s here! Mommy’s here!” She could only repeat the sentence in hopes of calming her daughter.

It took a long time before Juniper drifted to sleep again.

Tears rolled down Selena’s cheeks at the sight of her daughter’s internal struggle. She sobbed quietly in the bed in order not to wake Juniper up.

She dared not imagine what had happened to Juniper in the few hours of abduction.

I only have myself to blame! I shouldn’t have gone to the restroom and left Juniper alone at the bakery.

In the next three days, Juniper still did not utter a word. Apart from eating her three meals, she mostly slept her way through the day. Selena tried different methods to cheer her up, but none worked.

Left with no choice, she could only enroll the help of a psychologist as she believed that Juniper needed some counseling.

After the session, the psychologist exited the bedroom and sat with Selena on the sofa.

“Doctor, how is my daughter?”
