Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Selena’s Domineering Side

Meanwhile, Megan rejoiced at the sight of Selena’s hesitancy. This matter is getting out of hand, but the poor lady has no idea that I’m just putting on a show all the time. I can’t wait to see how she cleans up the mess.

“I don’t have a say in this matter.” Selena’s voice still sounded cold as it had always been from the beginning.

“Oh, come on! You both are a couple, so I’m sure your words carry some weight, don’t they? Furthermore, I heard he dotes you on quite a lot, so I think he’ll definitely listen to you,” Roland said and waved his hand.

“That’s right. I can tell that he really dotes on you too. Unless you’re still mad at Dad or me, you would kindly lend us a hand, wouldn’t you? After all, we’re a family, right?”

“Exactly! We’re a family, and that’s why we should bear no grudge against each other. Please tell him that we’d like to dine together someday. In fact, when Meredith becomes a Fowler, he and Pierre will be in-laws by then. Thus, I’d say this is promising to him!” Roland said with a smile on his face.

“Alright then, I’ll tell him when I get back. If there is nothing else, I should get going.” Selena couldn’t stand sticking around any longer, as she was ready to leave after giving a terse reply. When she got to the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned around. “My mom used to have a pair of beautiful bracelets, but I can’t find them now. Do you know where they are?”

Roland and Jezebelle exchanged gazes with a surprised look on their faces upon hearing that, but Selena managed to notice their suspicious reactions, sensing something amiss.

“Oh, really? I can’t remember anything about them,” Roland answered while scratching his head.

“How could you not remember those bracelets? Mom used to wear it on her wrists all the time.”

“Alas! It’s been years since we last saw it, so what does it matter to you, anyway? I bet they must have been misplaced somewhere long ago,” Roland replied as he subconsciously tried to avoid Selena’s gaze.

“I’m sure those bracelets must be somewhere in the house. All it takes is just a little effort of searching. Actually, I’ve been having the same dream these few days, in which my mom was asking me for them. So, please find them for me.” Knowing that Roland had a favor to ask of her, Selena was sure that the man wouldn’t turn her down.

Soon, she heard the man say, “Alright, I’ll get Jezebelle to look for them later.”

After that, Selena responded with silence as she turned around and left the place.

At the same time, Roland happily sipped his tea while humming and patting his lap. Seeing the man’s complacent look, Jezebelle rolled her eyes at him. “Look at you! Getting cocky already, huh?”

“Haha! I am cocky indeed! What’re you gonna do about that? People laughed at me back then for having three daughters but not even a son. Look at where they are now! One of them is gonna be the wife of Lake Corporation’s president, while the other two are marrying the presidents of JNS Corporation and Fowler Corporation. By then, I can just lie in my bed and still get rich!”

Jezebelle looked askance at him and said, “I hope you’re aware that your daughter is not someone who rolls over so easily. She is already asking for her reward even before starting to do her job. I’d like to see how you’re gonna answer her about the bracelets when she comes back for that.”

“Relax! She was just a little girl when her mom passed away, so I doubt she can still remember how the bracelets look like. Therefore, any pair of bracelets will be good enough to fool her.” Roland was apparently not concerned by the matter at all.

Jezebelle grunted and said, “If only everything was that simple. Anyway, she is your daughter, so this is none of my business.”
