Let her go and leave her to her own fate?It was impossible that Josiah would agree to that. It did not matter if Nia was her daughter or not, there was no way that he would let her go.It would be the best outcome If Nia turned out to be his daughter and he would not let her leave his house.But if Nia was not his daughter, he would not let her escape from his grasp. He would make sure that she faced the consequences of all of her wrongdoings."Sir, to be honest…" Wetting her lips, Lily mustered up her courage and said, "I think that Miss Meredith is not the type of person you think she is. You know better on how she is full of pride, how is it possible that she'd fall for a lowly servant and even have sex with him? Don't you think so too?""We'll know tomorrow if she's that type of person," Josiah replied.Lily did not understand why he would say that but she did not say anything else.Josiah had finally agreed to run a paternity test and had finally believed that Nia was his
The video that was taken of her and Yoel looked so real and Josiah was right about Nia being not his child because they were careful and had made sure to use protection.It was impossible that Josiah would believe her."Don't be disappointed, Miss Meredith," Lily continued, "in fact, I don't think Sir hates you that much. He was the one who rushed outside to carry you indoors when you fainted in the rain."Meredith looked at her with a startled look on her face."I'm telling the truth," Lily added, "not only did he carry you in, but he was also the one who helped you change into a new set of clothes, and told Doctor Zach to keep a close eye on you."Meredith looked down at the clothes that she was wearing, and indeed, it was changed into a different set.It was Josiah who helped her get changed? How was it possible?In that one year that they were married, Josiah had never once helped her get changed."Also," Lily pulled into a smile and said, "last night, Sir had called Wesley
Upon reading that Josiah was excluded as the biological father of the tested child, Meredith felt her mind go blank."Meredith Leighton, I have given you the chance you so badly wanted, and this is what I get for trusting you? This is what you meant when you insisted that she is my biological daughter?"Staring down at her coldly, Josiah snickered when he saw how Meredith was trembling, "What's wrong? Are you getting scared now that the truth is finally revealed?""And you thought that I would blindly believe what you said to me last night and would forget about even running a paternity test?""It's…it's not like that." Shaking her head frantically, Meredith finally found her voice, "It's really not as it seemed. Joe, these results must be manipulated.""Here we go again, aren't we?""No, Nia is really your daughter. You must have tested the wrong sample…" Meredith crawled toward Josiah, tugged at the bottom of his trousers, and cried, "Joe, you have to believe me. Aside from you
Staring at Meredith, Josiah scoffed, "It was Wesley who overlooked the entire paternity test procedure himself, and no one else was involved. You can stop wasting your energy on putting the blame onto others."Josiah then continued dragging her downstairs.Struggling to get away from him while crying, Meredith pleaded with Josiah, "Joe, would you please run another paternity test? Just once more, and if it's the same results, I'll do whatever you tell me to, please, I'm begging you…""Meredith Leighton!" Josiah threw her onto the floor in front of a storage room. Staring down at her coldly, he hissed, "You'd made me into a fool for trusting you, and you expect me to make the same mistake?""Joe, there's really a mistake on this one!" Crawling toward him, Meredith tried to grab onto Josiah but was kicked away.Dropping onto the floor, Meredith felt as if her bones were hammered into pieces.Josiah added coldly, "A liar like you does not deserve to stay on the second floor. You wil
Meridith stopped Lily, shook her head, and said, "Just leave her be, Lily."With all the remaining strength left in her, Meredith got up onto her feet, reached for the mop, and was about to start doing chores."But you're still sick…""I'll be fine, thank you for your concern, Lily."Even though Lily could not bring herself to let Meredith work, she had to agree with Ysabelle - that Meredith would only suffer if Josiah knew that she was helping Meredith with the house chores.Dragging her painful and weak body, Meredith started cleaning the house.Because of her high fever, Meredith's body was in pain hence she had to take a break after several minutes of cleaning.Lily, who was keeping an eye on her, felt bad for her but there was nothing she could do to help Meredith.Meredith had finally finished cleaning up the living room when Ysabelle walked into the house with several roses in her hand, leaving muddy traces behind her from her pair of high heels.Looking at the muddy tr
Ysabelle looked at Josiah to find that he looked annoyed.Hence, Ysabelle dared not push it. Plastering a fake smile on her face, she said to Meredith, "That's alright, I should have been more careful."Getting up onto her feet, Ysabelle hissed softly, "Meredith Leighton, just you wait…"Nodding, Meredith replied, "Sure. Come at me all you want if you are okay with me exposing all those dirty tricks and schemes of yours."Even though Meredith was no match against Josiah, she was able to handle Ysabelle.Since she was already stuck in this pathetic situation, she was not scared of anything else. But at the same time, she would not put up with the evil-blooded woman anymore.Shooting her a deathly glare, Ysabelle stormed upstairs to change.Just when Meredith was about to continue cleaning the floor, she heard Josiah's voice coming from the kitchen. "These are not prepared by Meredith."At the mention of her name, Meredith felt her stomach drop.Lily quickly explained, "Sir, Mis
"It is impossible that the doctors made a mistake on such an important task," Wesley sighed helplessly and added, "Miss Meredith, you're on your own now."Wesley then ended the call.Meredith took another deep breath before dialing another number on her phone.She then heard Ysabelle's mockery coming behind her. "Oh Meredith, you should really stop wasting your energy. Nia is really not Josiah's child so why are you trying so hard to prove a lie?"Turning around furiously, Meredith glared at Ysabelle. "So? Are you admitting that you manipulated the test results?""How is it possible?" Ysabelle cackled, "Do you think that I am capable of doing so? Or do you think that I bribed the hospital? What you saw on the papers is the truth so just accept them and stop dreaming!"Looking at the pretentious smile plastered on Ysabelle's face, anger stirred within Meredith.Meredith knew that Ysabelle was indeed capable of manipulating the test results judging by how she had plotted a scheme
Meredith opened her eyes slowly and vaguely, she saw a man.He was as good-looking as Josiah but he had a slightly different vibe about him.Josiah had this imposing charisma that intimidated most people but the man in front of her eyes carried this warm and gentle vibe with him.Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "Who…are you?""Liam Sheldon, Josiah's best friend.""Ahh," replied Meredith as she adjusted her body, closed her eyes, and continued sleeping."You know me?" Liam smiled."Of course, who doesn't?" Meredith added, "I still remember that I beat you in that wine-tasting competition."Meredith did not remember Liam simply because she only had eyes for Josiah back then.But who knew that the only man that held her heart was also the man who made her life a living hell."So you do remember about that." Liam tapped her shoulder gently and continued, "Hey, enough with the sleeping. Come have a chat with me.""Sure thing, one hundred bucks for a minute." Meredith still had her e
