Chapter 710 Called a Daughter Back

Selena had already expected her cursing. She knew that Jezebelle had never thought kindly of her. "My dad is gone, so you and I are not related anymore."

At this, Jezebelle widened her eyes and halted her cries. She wasn't dumb; of course she knew what Selena meant by those words. When Roland was still alive, she could still act as the stepmother, but now that Roland was dead, what was she? Nothing!

In that case, with Selena's position at this moment, she could easily kill Jezebelle without lifting a finger. "Oh, Roland! The tragedy that befell you!" Jezebelle started the waterworks again as she fell to the ground next to Roland's body.

Selena had no idea if there was any sincerity to the act. "Enough. Instead of putting on shows for me, why don't you ask your daughters to come back for their father's funeral?" Selena's voice was still cold. Jezebelle wiped her tears, lost in thought.

"Don't worry. He is my flesh and blood; I won't pull any stunts at his funeral. Even if I have a score to settle, it will have to wait until after the funeral." After saying that, Selena glanced at Jezebelle in disdain. "If you don't tell them, I have my own ways of notifying them."

In the end, Jezebelle called Megan to attend. Yet, Selena was not surprised about it.

Because of the funeral, Pierre and Selena could only stay there for the moment, since they were still relatives.

"Do you think Jezebelle will ask Meredith to come back?"

Selena shook her head. "She won't. In terms of being a mother, Jezebelle passes."

"Why are you so sure?"

Selena slightly nodded. "Many things happened after I left the Yard family, and I could suddenly understand them-as clear as day. Jezebelle has always been fair to her children, but Meredith failed to understand her efforts. When they were young, Meredith was superior to Megan in many aspects, while Megan was more playful. Hence, Jezebelle would pay more attention to Megan because she worried that Megan would feel inferior. However, in Meredith's eyes, her mom was being biased and unfair, so that was why Meredith took advantage of Megan."

"Could she actually be fair?"

"Of course. When her daughters were young, Jezebelle cared for Megan more. When they were grown, she still paid more attention to Megan because her position was still unstable in contrast to Meredith, who was with you. This was how Meredith's mentality crumbled. Now, Megan is fine, but Meredith is on the run. Jezebelle would be disrespecting me if she didn't call any of them back, so after weighing her options, she could only ask Megan to come back. She always worries for the weaker child." Selena sighed. "Even though she did not educate her daughters well, she still counts as a good mother." Her father's sudden death shocked Megan as well. Taking the opportunity during a break, Megan and Jezebelle hid in the bedroom.

"Mom, what exactly happened? Wasn't dad all right when I last came by?" Megan's eyes were puffy from all the crying.

"It's all because of Selena!" Jezebelle lowered her voice. Since Selena was here, she did not dare speak too loudly in case she would overhear. "You know about Merry's circumstances, right?" Megan had only seen the news on TV about Mia getting shut out, but she didn't know the details. "I'm not sure what happened."

Jezebelle raised a hand and delivered a slap to Megan's face. "You're supposed to be the elder sister! Your younger sister is in big trouble, yet you know nothing about it!"

Megan felt wronged as she covered her cheek.
