"What's wrong? Did I ask for too much? If so…""No, no, it's too little!" The surprised look on his face faded away slowly. "I thought you were going to ask for at least ten million dollars, but a million dollars? I can give it to you and you don’t even need to pay me back." "Really? Are you sure about this?""Of course." Leaning toward her, Liam added, "But when you and Josiah get back together, please have him pay me back with interest."The smile on Meredith's face froze.There was absolutely no way that she and Josiah would ever get back together."Mister Liam, it is impossible that Josiah and I will get back together but I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that I pay you back.""There, there. Nothing is impossible." Flashing him a smile, he added, "I have faith in you two."Of course, Liam knew how sick in the head Josiah was.If Josiah really hated someone, he would have gotten rid of the person right away. He would not have kept Meredith by his side and tormented he
It was already a relief that those old friends of Meredith's did not add insult to her wounds, it was impossible to expect those friends of hers to be willing to lend her money."Edith darling, did you do anything out of line?" Alayna could not help but ask.Meredith knew what her mother was trying to say. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Mom, what are you thinking? Even if I did think of doing it, do you really think that man would want me?""I don't want you to talk about yourself like that. No matter how you end up, you’re still the best in my eyes.""Thank you, Mom." Meredith explained, "Do you know who Liam is? The son from the Sheldon Group.""Yeah, I do. Why?""He was the one who lent me the money, so you don't have to worry where the money comes from.""But are you guys close?""Not really, but we are now." Meredith was worried that her mother would misunderstand and quickly added, "But we're just friends."Alayna nodded. She then looked at Meredith and added, "But d
"Mister Liam, I am really, really thankful for your kindness but Josiah is threatening me to stay at Shelby's residence using my mother as leverage. It is impossible that he'll let my mom go."She added, "And, Josiah is already furious that you helped me with the phone restoration, if you were to put in a word for me, not only would he not let my mom go, I'm afraid that he would make her suffer."Also, I don't wish to cause any damage to your friendship with Josiah."Liam was actually rendered speechless.He was not worried that their friendship being affected but he was worried that Josiah would take out his anger on Meredith if he were to interfere."Oh and Lily told me that Josiah already knew that the both of us are out together and is throwing a fit right now. Do you want to stay a night away from his house today?"Meredith felt her skin crawl just at the thought of Josiah smoldering in anger."There is no way that I'll let you deal with him alone." Liam shrugged his should
"Didn't Meredith just tell you that if I let her mother go, what else could I use to threaten her?" Josiah raised his eyebrows.In fact, he had many ways to deal with Meredith. He merely wanted to use the most hurtful method against her. That way only he could make her suffer the most.How Meredith hurt him back then, he will return it back to her a thousand fold."Josiah, have you ever thought that one day if you were to get back together with Meredith, how are you going to wash away the pain that you caused her all this while?""Don't worry, I never plan to get back together with her forever.""Are you that sure?""Of course," Josiah said unquestionably, sitting on the sofa regally like an emperor.Liam looked at Josiah's determined expression and helplessly shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, then. Since you've already said it, I have nothing to worry about. I hope that day will never happen to you."Josiah never thought that this was a problem, but he started to feel annoyed bec
Did Liam buy all these for Meredith?Josiah could not help but think back about what Liam told him before dinner, "If one day I were to marry her…"He instantly took all the desserts out of the fridge in annoyance, turned around, and threw them in the bin.Lily was stunned. She instinctively said, "Sir, the desserts were bought today! It's such a waste to throw them away!""Then feed them to the dogs!" Josiah grumbled angrily and headed upstairs.When he was upstairs, he saw Liam coming out of his bedroom. Josiah glanced at Liam coldly and said, "Why are you still up so late at night?""I can't sleep, so I'm going to look for Edith and chat." Liam walked over and placed his arm on Josiah's shoulder. He looked at Josiah with raised eyebrows. "Why? Can't I do that?""Meredith is not free to chat with you."Coincidentally, Meredith came out of Yena's room right at that moment. When she saw two of them, she was stunned for a while.Liam was about to say something when Josiah said
Josiah picked up Meredith's phone and easily unlocked her phone with her birthdate. Then, he tapped into the notification for wire transfer.When he saw that the transfer came from Liam, his expression instantly darkened.Then, a message came through. It was from Liam to Meredith.[Edith, I have already transferred the money to your account. Thank you for your breakfast! It was tasty!]An unspeakable rage rose from the bottom of Josiah's heart. It burned brighter and brighter! When Meredith went upstairs after preparing breakfast, she saw Josiah standing in front of Yena's bed with a blue face.She instinctively glanced at Yena. Her first thought was about her care for Yena and whether Josiah thought that she had neglected Yena.Meredith said carefully, "Mister Josiah. Breakfast is ready."Josiah glanced at her sideways and enunciated coldly, "Meredith, how many times have you slept with Liam for him to so generously give you so much money?"Then, he showed her the wire trans
Under desperation, Meredith could only yell out hysterically like what she did the last time. "Josiah! Can't you see where you're at? Can't you see who is lying on the bed? Aren't you worried that Yena would suddenly come around?"Sure enough, only by yelling out Yena's name could snap Josiah back to reality.Josiah's actions stiffened. He could not help but turn to look at Yena on the bed. Then, he looked at the half-naked woman who he just stripped in front of him. She was panting angrily.He took a step back and Meredith was instantly released from against the wall.She turned around and was about to leave but she was pinned against the wall by him once again.Meredith was speechless. What on earth did he want?Josiah looked at her, gritted his teeth, and said, "Transfer the money back to him, if not I won't mind doing it right in front of Yena!"Meredith was speechless. He did not mind doing it in front of Yena? Neither does she, please.After all, they were previously husb
Lily looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost eleven in the morning. She cautiously asked, "Sir, why did you get up so late today? The breakfast, uh…is already cold. I'll go make you another serving."Josiah buttoned his shirt and coldly said, "Get Meredith down to cook."Lily headed upstairs to call Meredith. She initially thought that Meredith would be in Yena's room massaging her. She did not expect that Meredith would be in Josiah's room instead. Meredith was even sleeping on Josiah's bed! They had clearly just slept together. Lily immediately retreated.She was about to return downstairs to tell Josiah that she would do breakfast instead, but she did not expect to see Leah downstairs! Leah was talking to Josiah. Josiah had a rare gentle look too.Seeing Leah, Lily silently returned upstairs and closed Josiah's room door rightly.When Leah saw the cold breakfast on the table, she immediately understood what had happened. She said, "Sir, I'll make you another set of b
