Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 154

Pierre didn’t interject, for he knew that things weren’t that simple. Even though he had driven the Yard Family close to bankruptcy, he knew just exactly how much money Meredith had in her hands.

For the past four years, the Fowlers, including himself, had given her many things. With everything added up, Meredith owned more than one could count when it came to jewelry and such.

In addition to that, she was at the peak of her career in the entertainment industry now with the highest pay. Hence, she could definitely afford to buy a jade bracelet by herself.

“But many have their eyes set on this jade bracelet and it’s said to be very popular. I’m worried it will fall into the hands of others. That’s why I need your help,” she added. It’s only because of money? Pierre wondered.

“I’ve never asked you for anything before, Pierre, and this is the first time I’m asking for your help. Please help me this time. This jade bracelet is really very important to me,” Meredith continued.

“Okay.” He had agreed readily without a moment’s hesitation. “Thank you so much!”

“I’m going back to work if there’s nothing else,” he said and turned to leave the reception room.

At the sight of him leaving, Meredith took a step forward, but she wasn’t able to say another word. Is there really nothing else to be said between us? she asked herself mentally. Sighing, she turned to leave the room, but before she left, she recovered her usual spirited look, lest others would notice her discomfiture.

Roland was the first to notice that the jade bracelet would be auctioned, and he was distraught because he had been trying to find out the whereabouts of the bracelet everywhere. As it turned out, he saw that the jade bracelet was about to be auctioned off.

Previously, Selena had promised to help the Yard Family if they returned her the bracelet. In fact, Meredith could have directly asked Pierre for help to get the Yard Family through the crisis, but she didn’t do that and asked for the bracelet instead. This was because she was placing her final bet on Pierre if he would help her get the bracelet.

This was very important to her; if Pierre helped her to get the bracelet, she could help her father return it to Selena and in turn, she would help their family through the crisis. At the same time, it would create a rift between Selena and Pierre. That would be akin to hitting two birds with one stone.

However, if he refused to help her, she would have to prepare for her next move.

After returning to his own office in a huff, Pierre then called for Niall. “What the hell are you doing? Why didn’t you make it clear who was the person in the reception room?” he yelled at him angrily.
