Chapter 712 Kowtow

"My sister?" Selena was stunned upon hearing the maid. After all, she reckoned they were only siblings in name because Meredith and Megan had never treated her as their sister. "Let her in." Selena then stood up and got changed before heading downstairs. The house was shrouded in silence since Pierre and the kids were away.

In the meantime, Megan was sitting in the living room while waiting for Selena, who was instantly surrounded by her bodyguards as soon as they saw her. While their response didn't scare Megan, Selena was shocked by their unexpected reaction. "W-What're you guys doing?!"

"We have orders from Mr. Fowler to take extra precaution whenever there is a guest," one of the bodyguards answered.

Upon hearing the man's reply, Selena was amused yet helpless with Pierre's idea. Gee, Pierre is seriously overreacting, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised since my family is one of a kind. After all, my father just tried to kill me, so my half-sister doesn't really need any reason to kill me if she wants to.

Meanwhile, Megan knew the bodyguards were wary about her presence as she kneeled down in front of Selena.

At the sight of that, Selena subconsciously stepped back a little and asked, "What are you doing, Megan? You and I are beyond exchanging 'courtesies', so save it!" Ever since Selena decided to spare Megan back then, she had been leaving her alone until now. However, she still couldn't forgive her half-sister for everything she had done to her. Therefore, she treated Megan with a glacial attitude. Deep down, Selena told herself that she wouldn't go easy on Megan again if she ever went back to her old ways.

"Selena, I know we have never treated you like a sister over the years! For that, I'll give you a kowtow!" Megan then proceeded to kowtow, bumping her head onto the ground so hard that everyone could hear

it.

"Get up."

Nevertheless, Megan continued to kneel on the ground. "I shouldn't have seduced Finneas back then. I was blinded by my pride and vanity to think that you didn't deserve to marry into the Lake Family. After all, with our family's status, I thought the chance should be mine. So, I seduced Finneas and set you up at the same time. I'm sorry for that!" Then, Megan continued to give another kowtow. "When you came back, I shouldn't have badmouthed you and said mean things to upset you, and neither should I have raised a hand to your daughter. Therefore, for all the mistakes I made, I hereby apologize and ask for your forgiveness!" Megan gave another kowtow.

In the meantime, Selena only listened to Megan quietly while wondering what she was up to.

"My mother hasn't treated you right as a stepmother, but to be honest, she did that because she wanted to protect her daughters. She feared for our future, as she was worried that you might pose a threat to us any day, but I can assure you that all the things we orchestrated were Meredith and my idea. She had nothing to do with any of them!"

As soon as Selena heard that, she immediately knew Megan's purpose for her visit, thinking she was probably worried for Jezebelle's safety after Roland's death. She must be worried that I'd retaliate on her mother after Dad passed away.

"If you're worried about your mother's safety, you could rest assured knowing that I'm not going to do anything to her. After all, she was still my father's wife for many years. Besides, my father was partly responsible for all the mess that subsequently happened as well. Your mother wouldn't have made it this far if he hadn't gone along with her. Furthermore, she had already paid the price for her wrongdoing." Selena frankly expressed her thoughts as she was never going to do anything to Jezebelle anyway.

"Thank you!" Megan kowtowed to Selena again. "Also, please forgive Meredith! She's learned from her mistake! She went through a hell lot of suffering in the red-light district with all the judgement and humiliation. Don't you think she's paid her dues?" Megan looked up and gazed at Selena. "Please spare her, Selena. She has nothing left, so what else could she possibly do?"

With her gaze fixed on Megan's face, Selena was caught in a trance until she snapped out of it a few moments later. Then, she helped Megan up, whereupon both of them sat on the couch. After that, Selena sighed and said, "Megan, you're a good sister! Meredith should feel guilty."
