Megan didn’t clearly express her stance. “Well, it’s not the first time he’s brought a woman home. Just let him be!” Ever since she married Jimmy, she knew he was a perverted man; he wouldn’t have married her otherwise. Nonetheless, she couldn’t care less about that since she had already grown used to it. “Take me back to the Yard Residence. We’ll only go home after that.”
The driver did as he was told and took Megan to the destination. When she entered the house, she saw Jezebelle sitting in a trance in the living room. While the house was already desolated in the first place, Roland’s absence only added to its bleakness and solemnity with Jezebelle alone in it. Megan then walked closer to her mother and sat beside her. “I’m sorry about Dad, Mom! But he is gone, and we’ve gotta move on.”
Jezebelle snapped out of her trance and asked, “How was it? You talked to Selena, right? What did she say? Is she willing to spare Meredith?”
Megan sighed and replied, “Mom, do you have any idea Meredith did to Selena? She tried to kill her. If someone tried to kill you, would you let that person go unpunished?”
Jezebelle rolled her eyes and said, “So that means Selena is reluctant to go easy on Meredith. Oh, dear, what are we going to do now? Megan, you need to help Meredith! She is your sister!”
Megan looked at her mother and sighed while gently patting the back of her hand. “Mom, I need to go home for now. I’ve been away for a few days, and the Astleys are probably not going to be happy about that. So I need to go back and talk to them before I can take you in. Once everything is settled, we’ll live together from that point onward.”
Meanwhile, Jezebelle only sobbed in silence, unable to utter a single word.
“Don’t worry. I might not be able to promise you a rich life, but I can at least guarantee that you won’t have to worry about making ends meet.”
