Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671 She Had It Figured Out

Jezebelle’s expression darkened in that instant. “She’s been dead for decades. Why did you bring her up?” She expressed her annoyance upon hearing about Roland’s ex-wife, who was also Selena’s mother.

“Mom, would you please stop interrupting for a moment? I have some serious business to discuss with Dad!” Meredith glared at her mother in frustration and turned her attention to her father. “Dad, as far as I can recall, Selena doesn’t really associate with any of her maternal relatives, does she?”

Roland pondered for a while and replied, “Yeah, I think so. When I first met her, she was all by herself. Back then, I wanted to meet her parents, but she always told me she was all by herself. So, I thought she was perhaps an orphan or something. Furthermore, your grandma reckoned that was also a good thing since we could save our bride token without any in-laws. After that, nobody ever talked about that matter again.”

“Did her mom ever mention anything about her own family? Do you still remember her bracelets, Dad? The bracelets that were worth a billion during the auction…” Meredith suddenly recalled the bracelets. Although she initially had doubts about the existence of that pair of jewelry, she was too distracted to look into it because of her infatuation with Pierre.

“Those bracelets were extremely valuable, but our company was suffering from a cash flow problem, so she sold them off for thirty million!” Roland stuck up three of his fingers. “If it hadn’t been for that thirty million, we would have gone bankrupt long ago!”

Jezebelle glared at Roland angrily and berated him. “Then why did you cheat on her with me?!”

“Well, you were the one who seduced me!”

“You!”

The old couple began to bicker with each other again. In fact, both of them still liked to rake up the past despite their current miserable condition. As they grew older, they tended to get even grumpier and touchier in a heated argument, sometimes even resorting to throwing items to vent their frustration.

“Alright, let’s get down to business!” Meredith massaged her temples and asked, “Dad, have you not had a single doubt about why she’d have something so valuable, even though she was all alone by herself?”
