"Yeah.""That works then. From now on, Miss Meredith's home will be the Shelby's mansion. And only when the Shelby Group is stable, that you, Miss Meredith, and Nia would be safe." Mister Yoseph then added, "So to conclude, we are not using Miss Meredith. We are simply protecting your family."Right then, Mister Yoseph gasped in shock, "Sir, shit!"Josiah had just closed his eyes when they shot wide open at Yoseph's sudden gasp."Someone had posted the picture of Miss Meredith attempting suicide," said Yoseph as he showed the photo to Josiah.In the picture, Meredith was lying lifelessly on the bed with one of her hands dropping from the bedside and there was a pool of blood on the floor.Along with the picture was a caption stating that Meredith took her own life because she was abandoned by her husband and her daughter had passed away.Josiah's eyes darkened. He then said to Walter, "Drive faster."Whereas Mister Yoseph hurriedly made calls to people to take down the picture
"Because of guilt, so I can't let you die," Josiah looked at her with a heavy expression. "Edith, I was wrong. I'm very sorry about Nia. Can you forgive me?"Nia…Upon hearing that name, Meredith's started to flare up again."Please forgive me. I didn't mean to not rescue Nia. I was confused by the video back then…""You absolutely meant it!" Meredith suddenly sat up from the bed. She did not care about her injured wrist. She grabbed him by his shirt and yelled, "Josiah, you did it on purpose. You killed my daughter, you…""Edith, calm down, be careful of your injuries."Meredith's injuries had already split open, but it seemed like she did not feel pain. She looked at Josiah with tears in her eyes. "Josiah, I have warned you. If you don't let me die, one day, I will kill you, so you should just let me die! Let me die! Do you hear me!"Meredith was almost shrieking when she said that.In the past, he never let her live in peace. At that moment, once she did not want to live any
Turns out Josiah wanted his grandmother to see her great-grandchild when she gained consciousness. Did that mean that she has to get pregnant with a Shelby-child immediately!?That was amazing! She was still worried that Josiah would investigate Nia's previous DNA results and find out it was her. She never thought that her worries were excessive.Ysabelle suppressed the excitement in her. "Josiah, if this is how you feel, of course, I'll be happy to cooperate. I do hope that Grandma will get better soon once she knows that I'm pregnant.""Hmm, thank you." Josiah smiled a little. "Tell me when you have the time."Ysabelle eagerly said, "Let's do it tonight. Coincidentally, I've been ovulating recently.""Hmm." Josiah thought for a while. "Do you need to inform your parents? After all, they care a lot about you.""No need. My parents like you a lot. They will be very happy when they hear I'm marrying you.""That's good," Josiah said, "I still have some things to attend to. I'll
Since Josiah liked it, of course, Ysabelle was willing to take the drug.Furthermore, she wanted to spice things up a little more. She has never had such fun before in her life.Thus, after Yoseph left, she immediately downed the contents in the vial. After that, she climbed on the bed and posed in a sexy posture. She waited for Josiah while feeling the changes in her body.Soon, her body heated up, it was as if something was flowing through her veins. It was a strange feeling, but it felt good. It was hot…Someone opened the door.Ysabelle knew that it was Josiah. She was excited yet eager with anticipation.The room was lit dimly in a warm light. On top of that, she was drugged. Her logical senses and view became blurry. She saw a man's silhouette and she eagerly pounced at him."Josiah, you're finally here! I've missed you!" Ysabelle said next to the man's ears."Hey, baby! I miss you too!" A man with a strange accent said, then he kissed her on the lips.It was almost in a
"Ysabelle, didn't you also trick Meredith to take the drug back then, then you got Yoel to go to her room?" Josiah said calmly.Ysabelle was stunned. Has he found out about it? Was he trying to avenge Meredith?No! She could not admit it, if not the consequences would be terrible! "I don't understand what you are talking about!""You don't understand? Other than the Leightons, who could get this drug from Doctor Leonard? Back then, you went there to take it from him once. You drugged Meredith with it, right?"Also, the last time I was drugged it was by you too, right? Fortunately, I slept with Meredith and not you." Josiah's tone was still cold. "Ysabelle, are you so desperate to sleep with me?""Josiah!" Ysabelle initially went there to settle the score about the incident the night before. At that moment, she was so frightened she could no longer care about seeking justice. She started trembling.She was extremely nervous, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Don't lose you
Josiah wanted to punch himself badly. He wondered about the terrible things he had done in the past!Josiah grabbed the phone from his desk. "Get this b*tch out!"Soon, Yoseph entered. Ysabelle glared at Yoseph loathingly, thinking about the vial he gave her the night before.Yoseph was not afraid of her at all. He coldly said, "Miss Ysabelle, if you do not want the security to escort you, please leave."Ysabelle bit her lips and left reluctantly.The moment she reached home she was welcomed with a slap on the face. She lost her balance on her high heels and fell to the ground. She angrily looked up and saw that it was her father who slapped her."Dad, have you gone mad?" Ysabelle huffed.Marvin took one step forward. He was about to beat her up when Margot pulled him back."Marvin, what use is there beating Ysabelle up now? Do you think Josiah would let us go just like that?"Marvin slapped Margot backhandedly. "How dare you speak in front of me!"Margot was beaten up by Mar
Margot's cheeks were red from the slap. She nodded, tears flowing. "Not only did Josiah cut off all ties with the Leightons, but he also forced your father to sell the Leightons to him, if not, he will expose your father's wrongdoings in the past.""What wrongdoings?""Things that happened in the business. Mostly of him manipulating others. Josiah got ahold of the information somehow." Margot held Ysabelle's hands tightly and said frantically, "By the way, Ysabelle, didn't you say that Josiah wanted you to get pregnant to surprise his grandmother? Did he sleep with you last night? If he did, that means you still mean something to him. Can you go and beg him…""Mom!" Ysabelle interrupted her mutterings.At the mention of the night before, Ysabelle got even angrier and more upset. She felt worse than being slapped by her father."Ysabelle, what happened?" Margot looked at Ysabelle's reddened eyes and asked concernedly, "What happened? Did Josiah not sleep with you last night? But th
However, other than asking Meredith for help, what other choice did Margot have? She had no other choice."Even if we have to prostrate and bow our heads to her, we have to bear it. After all, it is a small issue if the company goes, but we can't have the family all in prison!""Mom, I'm not going!""Ysabelle! Don't think too far away, just think about Miss Leah," Margot reminded Ysabelle, "murder itself would give you a life sentence. Previously, Josiah did not investigate it because he was determined that it was Meredith who did it, he wanted to keep Meredith alive. Right now, if he were to investigate it again, he would find out everything about what you did. You'll be sentenced to death. Do you understand?" Death sentence.Ysabelle was so frightened she was at a loss for words.…Liam poured a full glass of wine and pushed the glass to Josiah.Josiah did not drink. He only watched the video repeatedly on his phone. The video was of the event held at the mall previously, Me
