Chapter 16 You Are a B*stard Child
Meredith pointed at Juniper, who was checking out the cakes on display. Megan immediately looked over in the direction where Megan was pointing, and that elfin and lively little girl turned out to be Selena’s daughter!
“She looks just as nasty as Selena!” As Megan spoke, she rushed straight over.
Meredith stared at Juniper, noting how the girl looked so similar to Selena as if she was really carved out of the same mold as her mother, but she also resembled Pierre a little. However, the resemblance with him would not be realized unless one knew they were father and daughter, and if one didn’t know, they couldn’t be linked together at all.
Meredith was glad that this girl looked like Selena because if she had looked like Pierre, that would be rather terrible since everyone would know who her father really was.
But the appearance of this little girl made her feel a sense of danger as well. After all, they had thought that this little girl would not survive; she was born with a respiratory issue that caused her to be put into the incubator just after her birth. Since her weight was only four pounds, plus Selena was so poor, they all thought that she certainly could not possibly survive.
But who knew that not only did she not die but also grew so lovely and vivacious?
Megan strode over and grabbed Juniper’s arm, frightening the little girl out of her wits.
“Who are you? Let go of me!”
The store assistant of the cake store was also a little flabbergasted, but she recognized Megan, who had come here several times to discuss the wedding cake. Thus, all the employees of the cake store knew that she was a troublesome customer.
“Miss Yard, this is rather inappropriate.”
Megan glared at the employee. “None of your business! I’m her aunt.”
“I don’t have an aunt like you, so let go!” Juniper felt pain in her arm after being forcefully pinched.
She struggled to break free. But how could the strength of a four-year-old child compete with that of an adult?
“Brat, is your mommy’s name Selena Yard?”
Hearing the woman mentioning her mommy’s name, Juniper sized up the woman in front of her suspiciously. “How do you know?”
“Of course I know. I’m her sister! What? She never mentioned me to you?”
Juniper instantly blossomed into a smile. “Oh, so you’re my aunt! My mommy is so forgetful; she didn’t even mention you to me, and I didn’t know that I have an aunt who is so beautiful! You’re even more beautiful than my mommy!”
Her sudden smiling face surprised Megan somewhat, and the words ‘more beautiful than my mommy’ simply made Megan’s heart sing.
Megan released her grip and asked in a calmer voice, “Girl, you’re good at sweet-talking! Who taught you all this?”
Juniper turned to the table to get the juice that had just been poured for her by the staff.
“Aunt, you look kinda tired. Look, you’re sweating, and your makeup is running. Here, drink some juice. I’ve not drunk it at all.”
Megan was immediately nervous. After all, the focus of a woman’s attention was always her face, so she immediately took out a compact makeup mirror from her bag and attempted to retouch her makeup.
At that moment, Juniper casually splashed the glass of juice directly toward her face—
Megan was observing her face in the mirror to see if her makeup was really running, when a glass of something sweet rained down upon her.
This moment also happened to be captured by the mirror, so she witnessed this wretched moment in its entirety.
Previously, she was splashed with coffee by Selena, and this time she was splashed with juice by her daughter!
