Ysabelle gritted her teeth. She held back for the time being.Josiah sneered. He suddenly flipped over and pinned Liam to the ground, using the same posture as Liam before."If not, who do you think I should revolve my life around? Meredith, that b*tch?""No matter what, Meredith was once your wife?""Is that so? But Yena rescued me when I was young. She turned into a vegetable because Meredith cruelly harmed her. She might have nothing to do with me, but she should be the person I should protect the most, also the person I owe the most to.""Then, you should just protect and pay back the person whom you owe the most to. Why are you hurting Meredith? You were once husband and wife! Can't you even just let her go?"Furthermore!" Liam waved and pointed at Ysabelle. "Why are you keeping such a woman in your house? Are you worried that Meredith won't be tortured to death by you, so you found another person to torture her together?"Ysabelle was about to ask Liam to shut up when Josi
"I'll find a way to help you rescue your mother out." Liam's face darkened. "Meredith, if you stay here any longer, I'll go up and beat Josiah up again. I'll punch him until he comes to get you back in."When Meredith heard what Liam said, she immediately headed back in with his help.The two of them just entered when they saw Josiah, who was supposed to be upstairs, sitting on the sofa. His face was covered in bruises too. Ysabelle was about to help him put on some medication.When they saw Liam, Ysabelle deliberately opened her arms wide in front of Josiah and looked at Liam in fear. "What do you want to do!? I won't let you harm Josiah again."Liam coldly looked at her and looked past her at Josiah's face. "As long as he doesn't stop me, I won't hurt him."Josiah's gaze, on the other hand, had always been on Meredith's face.Meredith was pale from being under the rain. The wounds on her forehead have changed their shape from the rain. Her hair was constantly dripping water.J
"If she's dead, drag her out!" Josiah angrily interrupted Lily.The last time Meredith passed out, he was anxious to death, yet it turned out that he was tricked by her, producing a disgusting paternity report.This time, he will not fall for her tricks anymore. He will never believe her again.…Meredith had a fever again. This time, there were no doctors to treat her. She could only rely on Lily's medicine.Ysabelle stood by the door of the storage room. Looking at the half-dead Meredith, she was elated.When she saw Leah coming downstairs, Ysabelle immediately went forward. "Miss Leah, is Yena doing well today?""The doctor says that she is doing well. She is showing signs of coming around.""Really? That's amazing!" Ysabelle said delightedly, "Miss Leah, congratulations. Yena is about to come around.""Yes, I have been waiting for this day to come," Leah said with a smile. Then, she pulled Ysabelle's hand and said, "by the way, Ysabelle, I'm going to the hospital to get so
Due to Leah being too nervous, her phone fell to the ground with a thud.Ysabelle, in the bedroom, jumped in fright. She paused what she was doing. She did not look back, nor did she dare to look back. She thought quickly as to who could be there?Lily had gone out to do groceries, and Leah was out to get medicine. Alfred would not be upstairs, so…it was Meredith?If it was Meredith, Ysabelle was not worried one bit, after all, Meredith knew all the bad things she has done, but so what? No one believed Meredith.When she turned around and saw that it was Leah, Ysabelle instantly panicked."M-Miss Leah?" Ysabelle got up from the chair. She forced herself to be calm and asked, "Didn't you say that you were heading to the hospital to get medicine? Why are you back so quickly?"Since when was Leah standing by the door? Did she hear what she said? Did she see the needle in her hand?A series of questions made Ysabelle panic even more."If I did not lie to you that Yena was showing s
Miss Leah wanted to escape but her path was blocked and she could only turn around and rushed upstairs.As soon as her call was answered and before Josiah could say anything, Miss Leah shouted into the phone frantically, "Someone's trying to kill me! Sir, help me! Help me-!"Ysabelle pounced on Miss Leah who was on the stairs, and the phone in her hand was broken into pieces.Struggling, Miss Leah shouted, "Ysabelle killed someone…help…"But her phone was already broken and Josiah, who was on the other end of the phone, could no longer hear her.Glancing at the broken phone, Ysabelle scoffed, "You can save yourself the trouble of shouting for help, your phone is already broken.""You…what are you trying to do?" Seeing how Ysabelle was getting closer to her, Miss Leah scrambled to her feet frightfully and ran upstairs.A sinister look flashed across Ysabelle's face. She had intentionally forced Miss Leah to run upstairs.The mansion had four floors and soon enough, Miss Leah had
Miss Leah's screams pierced through the sky and with a loud thud, from the terrace, she crashed onto the ground in the front yard.Ysabelle's face contorted sinisterly. Looking down at Miss Leah who was laying on the ground lifelessly, she murmured, "Miss Leah, you brought this onto yourself. Don't hate me too much."She then rushed down the stairs, picked up the broken phone with a napkin, and threw it next to Miss Leah's body.Meredith, who was feeling drowsy because of the high fever was jolted awake by Miss Leah's terrified screams and the loud thud.The scream was harrowing and chilling.Frowning, Meredith tried to get off the bed, and head outside.At the sight of Miss Leah who was lying lifelessly in the pool of blood, Meredith was aghast and horrified, and her drowsiness had vanished into thin air.Miss Leah? Why was she laying in the pool of blood?At the sound of a car driving close, Ysabelle who was hiding behind the door rushed toward them, pulled Miss Leah who was
The medical team hurriedly did a check-up on Miss Leah and in the end, they announced that Miss Leah had passed away.Ysabelle was, of course, relieved.After Miss Leah's body was sent away, Josiah finally turned to look at Meredith and hissed coldly, "Meredith Leighton, you killed Miss Yena."It was not a question. It was a statement.Meredith shook her head. "It is not me! No!"It was a murder. There was no way that she would admit to killing someone.Ysabelle glared at her furiously. "Meredith Leighton, you made such a scene earlier when you got into a fight with Miss Leah earlier. If it wasn't you who pushed her, don't tell me that she jumped off the roof all on her own?""Miss Leah still had to take care of Yena. It's impossible that she'd take her own life, don't you think?" Even though she managed to temporarily get away with murder, she was worried that the evidence would trace back to her if Josiah insisted on a thorough investigation.Ysabelle thought that even though
Josiah did not answer her question but said instead, "Ysabelle, you should go."Ysabelle's voice softened, "Josiah, I'm sure it must be hard on you after the incident, let me stay here with you."His attitude remained cold. "There's no need.""What about Yena…""The doctor will keep an eye on Yena," Josiah cut her off bluntly.Ysabelle thought of staying with him to earn his trust but seeing how Josiah was cold toward her, she gave up eventually.Before leaving, she added, "I'll come another day to visit Yena. Take care of yourself, Josiah."On the other hand, Josiah ignored her as he lit up a cigarette.…Meredith was once locked up in this exact basement three years ago.The memory of her days being spent in the dark, cold, and wet basement was still fresh.Meredith hated every second of her time spent in the basement.Cowering by a corner in the basement, she could only hope that the cops would run a thorough investigation of Miss Leah's death to prove her innocence.Af
