Chapter 16 You Are a B*stard Child

Meredith pointed at Juniper, who was checking out the cakes on display. Megan immediately looked over in the direction where Megan was pointing, and that elfin and lively little girl turned out to be Selena's daughter! "She looks just as nasty as Selena!" As Megan spoke, she rushed straight over. Meredith stared at Juniper, noting how the girl looked so similar to Selena as if she was really carved out of the same mold as her mother, but she also resembled Pierre a little. However, the resemblance with him would not be realized unless one knew they were father and daughter, and if one didn't know, they couldn't be linked together at all. Meredith was glad that this girl looked like Selena because if she had looked like Pierre, that would be rather terrible since everyone would know who her father really was. But the appearance of this little girl made her feel a sense of danger as well. After all, they had thought that this little girl would not survive; she was born with a respiratory issue that caused her to be put into the incubator just after her birth. Since her weight was only four pounds, plus Selena was so poor, they all thought that she certainly could not possibly survive. But who knew that not only did she not die but also grew so lovely and vivacious? Megan strode over and grabbed Juniper’s arm, frightening the little girl out of her wits. "Who are you? Let go of me!" The store assistant of the cake store was also a little flabbergasted, but she recognized Megan, who had come here several times to discuss the wedding cake. Thus, all the employees of the cake store knew that she was a troublesome customer. "Miss Yard, this is rather inappropriate." Megan glared at the employee. "None of your business! I'm her aunt." “I don't have an aunt like you, so let go!" Juniper felt pain in her arm after being forcefully pinched. She struggled to break free. But how could the strength of a four-year-old child compete with that of an adult? "Brat, is your mommy's name Selena Yard?" Hearing the woman mentioning her mommy's name, Juniper sized up the woman in front of her suspiciously. "How do you know?" "Of course I know. I'm her sister! What? She never mentioned me to you?" Juniper instantly blossomed into a smile. "Oh, so you’re my aunt! My mommy is so forgetful; she didn't even mention you to me, and I didn’t know that I have an aunt who is so beautiful! You’re even more beautiful than my mommy!" Her sudden smiling face surprised Megan somewhat, and the words ‘more beautiful than my mommy’ simply made Megan’s heart sing. Megan released her grip and asked in a calmer voice, “Girl, you’re good at sweet-talking! Who taught you all this?” Juniper turned to the table to get the juice that had just been poured for her by the staff. "Aunt, you look kinda tired. Look, you’re sweating, and your makeup is running. Here, drink some juice. I’ve not drunk it at all.” Megan was immediately nervous. After all, the focus of a woman's attention was always her face, so she immediately took out a compact makeup mirror from her bag and attempted to retouch her makeup. At that moment, Juniper casually splashed the glass of juice directly toward her face— Megan was observing her face in the mirror to see if her makeup was really running, when a glass of something sweet rained down upon her. This moment also happened to be captured by the mirror, so she witnessed this wretched moment in its entirety. Previously, she was splashed with coffee by Selena, and this time she was splashed with juice by her daughter! "You look like a cow; how could you even compare to one of my mommy’s toes!" Juniper made a face at Megan, then she turned around and ran toward the door. "Ah! You brat! I'm gonna tear you up!" Megan threw the makeup mirror away and stomped her foot hard. As Juniper ran to the door, she collided with Meredith on the way. Raising her head to look at Meredith, she found that this woman looked a lot gentler than the woman just now. Meredith smiled and squatted down. "Little girl, do you want to meet your daddy?" "My daddy?" Juniper did want to see her daddy badly, but didn't her daddy already go up the sky? "Yes, you must really wish to see your daddy, right?" Megan rushed up and grabbed Juniper hard, screaming, “Brat, how dare you pour juice on me! I’m gonna tear you up!" "Megan, don’t be like this. The child grew up without a daddy. How sad! Come on, darling, come to me." Meredith gave Megan a wink, then pulled Juniper to her side and helped her tidy up her clothes. Juniper was very interested in her daddy's affairs. Although she knew that her daddy had gone to heaven, she still wanted to know everything about him. After all, she had not even seen a single picture of him before. "You know my daddy? Do you have a picture of my daddy?" Juniper looked at Meredith warily and added, "My mommy said he went to heaven." "Hahaha, of course she's gonna say he's dead because you're simply a fatherless child!" Megan laughed with her hair full of juice. "You're talking nonsense!" Although Juniper was young, she knew what ‘fatherless child’ meant. "Brat! You’re just itching to get it, right? Then let me tell you how you came to be! You are an illegitimate child, and your mommy was a promiscuous woman back then. I don't know how many men she slept with and hooked up with, and you are just the result of your mommy sleeping with a b*stard of a man!" "You're talking nonsense! Nonsense! You're an ugly woman! Ugly cow!" Violently, Juniper struggled before she opened her mouth toward Megan's arm and bit down with all her might! "Ah!" Megan let out a cry of pain. "Megan, why do you reason with children? Children nowadays won’t get it if you just talk to them. They won't understand unless it hurts," Meredith said to the side, then added, "Look at you with juice all over. You’re probably the most wretched bride ever, and if you can't even handle a small child now, who can you count on when you live with the Lake Family in the future?" When Megan heard this, she grabbed Juniper's hair, swung her arm toward the girl’s face, and slapped her several times. Juniper's tears immediately flowed, and her head buzzed from the impact. Megan immediately pulled out her phone and sent a message. ‘Find someone to get rid of this child.’ "Haha, you know it hurts now, right? So if you know it hurts, next time, be more careful about what you say!" Megan laughed out loud. Meredith whispered a few words in Megan’s ear, and the latter looked at her incredulously. "You can’t go wrong with my plan." "But..." "No buts. We can’t let this girl go." Megan nodded, and the two sisters left straight away, leaving Juniper standing in place sobbing. Her face burned painfully, but it was not as painful as the pain in her heart as the words of Megan still echoed in her ears. Just at this moment, a disheveled man rushed in and picked Juniper up in his arms. "Ah! Let go of me!" Selena had just come out of the bathroom then. "Mommy, help me!" Juniper shouted desperately.
