Chapter 73
Then, Selena took the ring out of her pocket and flung it at Pierre, making the latter stop in his tracks when he felt something hitting him. “Take back your ring! You shameless liar!”
As the ring fell onto the ground right beside Pierre’s foot, he took a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and stepped away. Soon, Selena came out of the alley as well and saw a huge crowd at the kindergarten’s entrance, whereupon she quickly queued up.
At that moment, Pierre was nowhere to be found. Selena glanced across the crowd, but she soon noticed that his assistant was in the queue as well. So, he sent someone to pick his kids up, didn’t he? Then, why did he still come here in that case?
Meanwhile, Juniper was queuing up as well, with Jameson standing behind her. Although he had been trying to open her up the whole day, the little girl simply wouldn’t respond to him. “Come on, Juniper! We’re best friends, aren’t we? We might have lied to you, but we didn’t do that on purpose. Wait a minute. It was true that we did it on purpose.” Jameson scratched his head, not knowing how he should explain. “My dad made me lie to you, so you can’t really blame me for that.”
Despite Jameson’s desperate explanation, Juniper looked away and ignored him with silence.
“My mom and Miss Yard are sisters, so I’m technically your cousin. Don’t you think so?” Jameson brought up the matter upon recalling it.
Nevertheless, the boy’s reply pissed Juniper off even more. Hence, she ignored him and ran toward Selena, who was waving at her.
Jameson sighed and gazed at Joaquin. “What do I do, Joaquin? I feel like I just broke up. Juniper won’t talk to me.”
Upon hearing Jameson, Joaquin stared at his own brother in bewilderment. It looks like Jamie still has zero clue about his situation here. He shouldn’t be sad because Juniper gave him the cold shoulder, but because she is now his cousin. Thus, there is no way it’ll work out for both of them even if Juniper isn’t mad at him.

Meanwhile, Selena held Juniper’s hand and left from behind the kindergarten. When she passed by the back alley, she couldn’t help but recall what had just happened there. At that moment, her face blushed in embarrassment while she quickly walked away with Juniper.
As soon as they got into the car, Juniper said, “Mom, Jameson, and Joaquin have also started schooling. They’re in my class, but I didn’t bother to speak to them at all!” The girl was seen pouting in anger.
Selena didn’t hit the road right away but instead turned around and faced her daughter. “Juniper, you can still be friends with them. I don’t wanna ruin your friendship since this is a matter between us adults. Okay?”
“But they lied to me, and I’m mad at them for that!”
Selena knew Joaquin and Jameson lied because Pierre told them to. After all, they were just children. “Both of them didn’t lie to you on purpose. It was their father who made them lie. Don’t forget that they were the ones who rescued you back then.”
Juniper looked down and pondered. Angry as she was, they were the first friends she made after all. “Alright, that’ll depend on how they behave! Otherwise, I’ll never forgive them.”
“Okay, just do what you think is right.”
In the meantime, Niall headed back to the Fowler Residence after picking up Joaquin and Jameson while Pierre was taking a drive on the highway with his ‘Venom’ since he wasn’t going to collect his
kids anyway. Suddenly, he knitted his eyebrows and stepped on the brake, as if he was just reminded of something he had forgotten. Then, he made a U-turn and drove back to the kindergarten.
On the other hand, Selena was driving slowly on the road due to the congested traffic. When traffic cleared up, she caught a glimpse of ‘Venom’ in her rear mirror.
