Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Who Is That Man

As soon as she landed, she went to visit Megan in the jail. It had been a month since she was imprisoned after being convicted of intentional tort, which led to her two year sentence. Selena was waiting for her in front of the glass window, only to be taken aback by Megan’s tortured look when the latter showed up.

Her face lacked its former glow, as if being shrouded in a layer of dark mist. There were also a few burn marks on her left cheek, while her wary eyes darted beneath the fringes of her cropped hair. Her appearance was a stark contrast to back when she was still the daughter-in-law of the Lake Family, which made apparent to Selena that life in prison had taken a toll on her.

However, Selena didn’t pity her at all, as she reaped what she sowed by committing multiple atrocious deeds. On the other hand, Megan was also stunned, obviously not expecting Selena’s visit. Picking up the handset, Megan held a vicious gaze. “Why are you here? To laugh at me? Selena, while you might have witnessed me at my lowest, you’d better not be too complacent. When I’m released, I’ll kill you for sure!”

“Will you be able to come back out, though?” Selena asked indifferently. Her question rendered Megan speechless. Her two-year sentence wasn’t that long at all, but neither was it short. With her decadent behavior, it was unlikely for her to earn a commutation, so she could only serve her full sentence. However, she doubted if she would be able to make it out alive. The fact that the Yard had fallen from grace was of no help at all.

“It’s all your fault! It’s all because of you that I ended up like this! If I die, I’ll make sure that I haunt you even in my afterlife!” Megan spat vindictively.

Even with the transparent panel between them, Selena could sense the hatred directed at her oozing out of Megan. “Who’s the man you paired me up with?” Selena didn’t want to waste time.

Megan’s eyes went wide upon hearing the question, nor did she know why Selena asked her that. “Of course I set you up with the ugliest, oldest, and most disgusting man I could find!” Her shrill laugh rang in the room, and it wasn’t until the prison officer ordered her to keep quiet that she stopped.

“Megan, tell me the truth. If you do, I might be able to get you out of here.” Knowing that Megan would never tell her that easily, she already made preparations to protect herself in the case of Megan’s early release.

“Are you serious?” Megan’s eyes lit up all of a sudden.

“Of course; I’m a woman of my word. With my current status, it won’t take much to bail you out of here.” Although she tried to keep a straight face, she couldn’t hide the revulsion in her gaze. God knew how reluctant she was to be associated with Megan in any way, but she had to do so for Juniper’s sake.

“Why are you searching for him all of a sudden? Are you planning on continuing your relationship with him? Hahaha!” Megan burst into laughter yet again. She was no fool; she knew she had to be on her guard when knowing that Selena was searching for that man out of the blue.

Selena hesitated, wondering if she should tell Megan the truth. At that moment, the officer reminded them that it was almost time. “I have my own reasons that are none of your concern! All you have to do is tell me who that man is, and I’ll make sure to get you out of here!”

“Sure, I’ll tell you as soon as I’m out of here.” Apparently no longer in the mood to speak, Megan stood up to head toward the officer. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Megan, come back here!” Selena bellowed, “Come back!”

The officer quickly stopped her from making more of a scene. “You’re in a correctional facility, so please refrain from any form of misconduct! You’re required to leave right this instant!”

Due to the fact that Megan had already exited the room, Selena could only leave upon calming down.
