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
"If not?" If not, who else could Josiah blame? Other than blaming himself, who else could he blame? He had to find someone to blame to relieve himself of the anger!"Josiah, have you forgotten how you beat me up the last time? Let me tell you, my tooth is still loose from it!""It's just a tooth, I'll pay you back!"It was just a tooth. How could it be compared to his daughter's life? "Okay! Pay it back!" Liam suddenly raised his fist and threw a punch at Josiah's face.Josiah immediately fell to the ground full of glass shards.He immediately felt the glass shards piercing through his skin as he hissed out in pain. He finally felt the pain of being hurt by glass…just like Meredith.Josiah laid on the ground in a daze, letting blood ooze out from his body, dyeing his shirt red. The scene that was on his mind was when Meredith was being thrown on the floor full of glass shards.Back then, she was not wearing any clothes. The glass shards immediately pierced her skin. It was muc
The doctor did not know what Josiah was thinking, so he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll be gentler.""No need," Josiah said.The doctor was stunned for a while. He looked up at Josiah. Liam, by the side, said, "Don't worry, he has gone nuts, like Meredith."The doctor panicked even more. Alfred panicked too.…Although Ysabelle was unwilling, for the sake of her life and the survival of the Leightons, she had to bow down to reality and follow Margot to the hospital.Margot understood Ysabelle's character. In the lift, she reminded Ysabelle, "When you see Meredith later, you have to control your temper. Don't spoil this for me. Understood?""Mom, you've told me this a hundred times." Ysabelle was annoyed."Look at how annoyed you are.""You're asking me to apologize to that b*tch. Don't you think I'll be annoyed?""Why don't you think about me? I'm elderly and I still have to bow down to her." Margot felt humiliated too. "Too bad she has the power right now.""So, Mom,
"Edith, I know you're upset, but the incident has happened. Try to come to terms with it." Margot pulled Ysabelle aside from behind her and continued, "Edith, it's our fault. We didn't take care of you. We're here to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive us, please?"Meredith still did not move. Margot hinted at Ysabelle to say something. Ysabelle cleared her throat and said rather insincerely, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."Meredith finally slowly turned around. She said emotionlessly, "Who are you?"Thud!Margot and Ysabelle knelt on the ground. Their tears fell, looking sincere. "Edith. I know you're angry. We really understood that we made a mistake. Please forgive us. We are still family, after all, please?""Edith, you can just not do anything. If Josiah were to continue this way, the Leightons are finished. We will be finished too. You will no longer have any family or a home.""Edith, didn't you always say that the Leightons belonged to your mother? Could you bear to see
Margot said worryingly, "The b*tch has gone mad. Does that mean she can't help us plead with Josiah?""Mom, I never once hoped that she would help us." Ysabelle smiled smugly. "This is good too. She has gone mad. They can't dig up the cases in the past anymore. Our lives are safe."She was initially still worried that Meredith would use Josiah's power and work with the police to overturn the previous cases.But, Meredith had already gone mad. It was great. She could no longer dig up the past cases.As for the Leightons…"Ysabelle, if that's the case, let's go quickly," Margot tugged on her arm, pulling her back to reality.They had to leave before Josiah found out that they visited Meredith. That was the best solution."What's the hurry?" Ysabelle looked at Meredith with an evil gleam in her eyes. "Since she is already mad, let's make her madder."Then, Ysabelle said to Meredith, "Meredith, Nia is already dead. The doctors lied to you when they said they are transferring her to
Then, the doctor immediately rushed in."Doctor, my sister was too agitated just now and she fell from her bed." Ysabelle wiped her tears and said sobbingly, "You have to save her!"The doctor had already started attending to her.…Josiah had just entered the hospital when he received news of Meredith falling and splitting her head open.He stepped forward and coldly reprimanded, "How the hell did you take care of her!"His bodyguard was so frightened that he did not even dare take a single breath.Josiah quickened his steps upstairs until Meredith's ward. When he saw the two bodyguards, he immediately asked, "How is she right now?""Miss Meredith is…the doctor is treating her right now," The bodyguard said and immediately added, "I'm sorry, Mister Josiah, Miss Meredith's family came to visit her just now. I don't know why she fell.""Family?" Josiah gritted his teeth and said, "Meredith has no family.""Uh…" The bodyguard panicked even more.Josiah could not be bothered wi
