Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 323

Chapter 323 I Need a Plan

Meanwhile, in Astoria, Meredith was pacing back and forth in her room, panicking due to the fact that the hitman John sent failed his task, allowing Selena to slip away.

As long as Selena was alive, she would continue searching for Juniper’s biological father, so it was only a matter of time that the cat would be out of the bag. Not wanting to see that happen, she figured she needed to come up with a solution.

Should I try to assassinate Selena again? However, I don’t even know where she is, so how am I supposed to do that? Meredith found out that things were a mess at that point. When Landy called her over the phone, she was still feeling upset, so she snapped at Landy. Because she had another program that she needed to attend, Landy drove to her place.

“Did something happen?” she asked Meredith, who was still in low spirits even though she finally calmed down. “Are things with Pierre not progressing smoothly?” Landy was concerned about Meredith, as she was aware of the latter’s obsession with Pierre. His presence affected her so much to the point she wouldn’t be able to function properly without him.

Unlike Meredith, Landy depended on the celebrities she managed in order to secure a job, so she was reasonably worried. “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have scruples about revealing that you gave birth to Pierre’s children. With that, things will be settled.”

“As I said, that’s not an option!” Meredith yelled in frustration.

“Why can’t you do that? You’re the Best Actress, so you’re capable of swaying public opinion even if you reveal that you have children! Prestigious families such as the Fowlers put a lot of work into maintaining their reputation and public image. They would be overwhelmed by public opinion if Pierre refuses to marry you, so he will be forced to do exactly that in order to uphold his family’s reputation.”

“I know that, but—” Meredith’s mind was all fuzzy.

“I’m not telling you to make an announcement! Just let the press get a sneak shot of you, and they will fill in the blanks on their own without needing you to say anything!” Landy had her own agenda by suggesting that. Even if Meredith didn’t end up marrying Pierre, the incident would definitely boost her popularity. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

It didn’t matter whether she ended up marrying into the Fowler Family or not, as the incident alone would be enough to further establish her career either way.

Landy’s suggestion reminded Meredith. Yeah, I don’t actually need to make that statement myself! All I need is to allow the media to catch a glimpse of the truth! she thought. “Alright, I’ll need a plan.”

Soon enough, Meredith figured out a plan. With Pierre’s consent, she brought Joaquin to the playground. It was a crowded and public place, so even the ones who were in charge of protecting Joaquin had to exercise caution. After spending a day in the playground, Meredith sent Joaquin back home.

That night, rumors regarding Meredith having a child became the trending topic on Twitter. It happened after midnight, which was odd. The photos posted online were of high resolution, but the face of the child was deliberately obscured. The user who posted it wrote that he heard the child addressing Meredith as his mother.

Other than that, the boy was escorted by bodyguards, while the car captured in the sneak shots was proven to belong to the Fowlers, which indicated that the child belonged to Pierre Fowler. Therefore, the fact that Meredith had a child was basically considered to be true. All that was left was to wait for Meredith’s response.

The next day, Pierre sat down in his office at Empire Group while letting out a yawn. He was exhausted due to work and preparations to propose to Selena. Last time when Selena proposed to him, he didn’t agree with it, so he was determined to make his proposal a memorable occasion.
