Chapter 499 He Knew He Was in the Wrong All This Time
“That’s why I made a mistake that most men tend to make. It wasn’t until years later after your mother’s death that I realized that I had let her down all this while. She was a good woman, and I owe you both an apology. Please forgive me, even though I know there is nothing I can do in exchange for your forgiveness.”
Meanwhile, Selena was still waiting for Pierre until the night set in. Overwhelmed by her worry, she eventually decided to check up on him in the home theater after heating up the dish the third time. Then, she saw Pierre sitting in the middle, while the video of John was still playing on the screen. It looks like this is the video that Old Mr. Fowler specially left for Pierre. She soon walked up to the man and sat beside him, placing her hand on his shoulder. “Are you alright? It’s time for dinner.” At the same time, she also noticed Pierre’s red eyes and tear stains, which indicated that he might have been crying.
“He knew that he was in the wrong all this time but had never admitted it until now,” Pierre murmured to himself, yet it looked like he was confiding to Selena.
“It’s over now.”
Pierre then turned his attention to Selena and asked, “Do you know when this will was made?” Selena shook her head in response, but deep down, she was curious when John gave him the will because Pierre had only met his father for a handful of times.
“A few years ago, he made his will in my presence and gave it to me right after he sealed it. I think that was because he had probably foreseen the threat that I would face one day when he was gone.” While Pierre was already a man with unrivalled power and status, John had nonetheless devised a contingency plan for his son out of an unconditional fatherly love should there be any unforeseen circumstances.
“After you came into my life, I had him amend his will and sealed it back again.”
It was at that moment that Selena finally understood why her name was on the will and how she possessed so many shares.
