Chapter 228 I'll Beg for His Mercy

"Well..." Even Jezebelle knew her plan wasn't practical. "You can beg Helen or John for mercy. Don't they like Joaquin and Jameson? Aren't they intent on having Pierre marry you?"

"Why would they even want to see me when Megan stabbed their son? My only connection with them is through Pierre and our sons. They might even be wondering if I am also capable of what Megan did, seeing that she's my sister!"

The fact that Megan stabbed Pierre gave Meredith a headache, as she didn't know how she should handle the matter. After sniffing around, she came to know that the Fowlers didn't know that Pierre was injured yet, so she figured that Pierre might've hidden the truth from them. Therefore, she wouldn't be the one to cross them by actively informing them of the incident.

"So what are we to do now?" Jezebelle began wailing.

Her wails only served to aggravate Meredith's headache. "Mom, can't you be quiet? Let me think!" Rubbing her temples, she reviewed her plans. Although she was already prepared to launch the second phase of her plan, she had made a miscalculation. She didn't know John would be so overprotective of his grandsons. With the boys now banned from going to kindergarten, she was out of moves.

"I'll go see Pierre." After a moment, she relented upon heaving a sigh, as she had no other options.

"Sure! Go beg for his mercy! He might very well let this slide out of concern for his sons!" Jezebelle quickly agreed to her plan.

Casting a glance at her mother, Meredith was suddenly overcome with feelings of desolation. "Mom, have you ever wondered about my thoughts on the matter when you repeatedly told me to go beg for mercy from Pierre?"

Jezebelle lowered her head in shame. "I... I just don't see any other way forward."

Standing up, Meredith heaved a sigh. "Ever since I was younger, Megan has been more important to you."

Upon hearing what she said, Jezebelle's mouth hung wide open, but words failed her. However, Meredith wasn't going to wait for a reply from her as well, for she was soon on her way out with her bag. She didn't have much time to spare, so she opted to go seek out Pierre directly.

While on her way to Fowler Corporation, Meredith had been recalling events from when she was younger. Although Megan and her were twins, their personalities were drastically different; Megan was more outgoing and cheerful, whereas Meredith was more quiet and thoughtful. The latter wasn't keen on fighting for anything in case there was a conflict.

Whenever they had something nice, Megan was always the one who got to pick. In the case of them making a mistake, Megan was also always the first to speak up. As she would always use the situations to her advantage, their parents tended to believe in her, so Meredith was always the one to be blamed. Therefore, Meredith was used to enduring everything in silence, all the while working hard on her own, as she hoped that her family would one day come to recognize her accomplishments.

Her hard work didn't go to waste. Back when Megan was trying her best to get together with Finneas, she was already enrolled into art school as a top student. As time passed, she gained more understanding about Megan and came to know that she was actually quite straightforward despite her fiery temper. As Megan wore her heart on her sleeve, Meredith decided to use that to her advantage.

On the other hand, she thought her family might give her more attention after she got the best actress award and was married into the Fowler Family, but in the end, they still cared about Megan more. With those thoughts in mind, Meredith had arrived at Fowler Corporation without her realizing it. Entering the building from the rear entrance, she headed straight toward Pierre's office, only to replace that his office was locked, so she figured he might be in a meeting. In the meantime, Pierre was ending the meeting he was in. Niall came to his office to fetch something, which was when he saw Meredith.
