"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
Margot patted Ysabelle on the shoulders and consoled her, "Don't listen to his intimidations. What could a mad lady do to us?"At the thought of Meredith turning mad and how she was lying in the pool of her blood, Ysabelle felt much more assured.Yes, what could a mad lady do to them? She should not have scared herself out of her wits.…Although the bed was not too high, Meredith's injuries were quite serious. After coming out of the emergency room, she was out for a day and a night before coming around.Josiah had been by her bed, watching over her the entire night. He finally saw her eyelids flutter a little under the morning glow, slowly opening her eyes.Her eyes were filled with spirit, unlike the past few days, which were filled with horror and disappointment."Edith, you're up," Josiah said gently.Hearing someone calling her, Meredith slowly turned her face around. When she saw Josiah, she was slightly stunned.The next moment, she smiled a little. "Joe, why are you u
After instructing all levels of personnel, Yoseph approached Meredith. He noticed that she was furrowing her brows, sitting on the bed looking confused. He tried to call out to her, "Miss Meredith, is everything alright?"Upon hearing his voice, Meredith turned her head over. She measured him up close before asking, "Who are you?""I am Yoseph, Mister Josiah's secretary."Yoseph was confused too. Did Josiah not say that Meredith had a selective loss of memory? How has she forgotten who he was?"Joe's secretary? Have we met before?""Of course, we often see each other.""I'm sorry. I don't remember." Meredith pointed at her head. "I accidentally fell and hit my head."Yoseph asked, "Then, Miss Meredith, other than Mister Josiah, who else do you remember?"Meredith thought for a while before shaking her head. "I was thinking about this too just now, but no matter how I try, I can't think of any other person.""I see…" Yoseph nodded.It looked like not only did she selectively l
"What use is there checking up on him? It solves nothing."Margot returned to the sofa and sat down. "Right now, other than Josiah, no one can help us.""But Josiah has said, only if you two die will he let the Leightons go.""How is this letting us go? He clearly wants us dead.""Exactly, so we don’t have to waste our time pleading with him," Ysabelle said while rubbing her hungry tummy. She said, "Mom, I'm hungry, can you go make me something to eat?"Ever since the fall of the Leightons, all their servants have left. Their lavish lifestyles instantly vanished too.Margot glanced at Ysabelle and reprimanded, "Now, do you know the importance of learning how to cook? Come here, I'll teach you.""I'm not learning." Ysabelle did not feel that she would one day stoop so low as to have to make food on her own."What are you going to do if you don’t learn how to cook? The chefs are all gone. Are you going to starve to death?" Margot dragged Ysabelle into the kitchen, forcing her to
