Meredith was still sleeping, leaning on her side, the hickey on her neck was clearly visible. That was just what he left on her neck.He leaned into her ear and whispered, "Edith, we're going back."Meredith murmured and turned her back to him.Josiah followed and continued to call: "Edith, don't you want to go home? We can go back now.""Don't..." Meredith waved her palm impatiently. "I don't want to go home, I want to sleep.""This is a lounge, do you want to sleep here?" "Well..." Meredith snorted like a kitten and fell asleep again.Josiah shook his head and smiled. "Edith, then I got no choice but to use force against you."After speaking, he wrapped her body tightly with the duvet, then carried her horizontally and walked out of the lounge.Jenny hurriedly stepped aside and followed with Meredith's bag and mobile phone.Like Quinley, she wondered what was happening. Meredith had humiliated Josiah so much at the banquet today, yet Josiah was not angry at all?Instead,
"Ma'am, Snowie has just eaten, you don't need to feed it." Jenny reached out to her. "Come on, give Snowie to me, don't let it affect your meal."Meredith handed Snowie to her, lowered her head, and took a mouthful of stew. Then, stared at Jenny and asked, "Jenny, can I ask you something?""What's the matter, Ma'am?""Who is Yoel? Me and him..." Meredith was too embarrassed to ask after that.Jenny just plotted against her last night and saw Maeve's fate. How would she dare to tell the truth now?However, she did not take the initiative to tell her about Yoel, but pretended to dodge left and right to change the topic. "Ma'am, you should ask Lily about this, I...I joined late, so I don't know."The Xander Corporation received the news that Shelby Group was planning to acquire Xander Corporation early this morning. The President of Xander Corporation was so anxious that he went to Shelby Group. He knelt and begged Josiah for mercy.As a result, Josiah did not even bat an eyelid.
The first thing that popped up in the post was her photo, the one before the disfigurement. She looked exactly the same as the photo on Maeve's phone last night.Then there was another young man who was looked unfamiliar to Meredith.The man looked very young and was a little handsome. Yoel's name was written under the photo.Meredith held her breath and continued to look down, where the comments were written about the main post... Some said that they heard Mister Josiah and Miss Leighton had a purely commercial marriage, and they had no relationship at all.One of the comments said that this man named Yoel was a gardener in the Shelby family mansion. He was a little handsome, so he attracted Mrs. Shelby, who was alone in her boudoir.One of the comments said that Mrs. Shelby was very good at cooking. She often secretly cooked food for this servant named Yoel.Mister Josiah did not care because he did not like her at first, until one day when Mrs. Shelby was having an affair wi
Lily asked anxiously, "Doctor, is Ma’am alright?""Don't worry, she just fainted, it's not a big deal." The doctor asked, "But why did the Ma’am suddenly inflict self-harm? She didn't seem to have behaved in this way before.""I don't know either." Lily shook her head."It seems that her condition is getting worse." The doctor sighed.After the doctor left, Lily did not dare to leave for a moment and stayed by Meredith's side.Josiah got a call from Lily and got up from the chair when he heard that Meredith had inflicted self-harm. "What did you do to her again?"Lily was taken aback by him, and she said shiveringly, "Sir, we didn't do anything. Ma’am stayed in the room by herself, and suddenly, she started to hurt herself.""Maybe it was because of last night's banquet. Ma’am asked me about Yoel, but I didn't say anything."After hanging up the phone, Josiah pulled the jacket on the back of the chair and walked toward the office door.Mister Wesley greeted him, "Mister Josiah
Mister Wesley coughed dryly and reminded him, "Mister Josiah, how should we deal with the matter between Mister Xander and Miss Xander?"Josiah said bluntly, "Go and buy me flowers from that little girl."Mister Wesley was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked toward the little girl.Josiah turned around, bent over, and got into the already parked car.Seeing that Josiah did not pay attention to him, Mister Xander hurriedly rushed up, leaned on the car window, and shouted, "Mister Josiah, did you hear what I just said? Please give Xander Corporation a way out, please…”The car window slowly lowered, Josiah turned his face to him and said, "My wife is ill, I have to go back to take care of her. Please excuse me, Mister Xander."President Xander did not know what to say.The window slowly closed.Mister Wesley quickly returned with the flower in his arms.When the car started, Maeve suddenly rushed up and roared into the car, "Josiah, do you think that you're so great jus
Meredith shook her head, "It doesn't hurt.""No matter what happens in the future, you can't hurt yourself, understand?""Understood."Josiah tried to chat with her for a while, and then he felt relieved a little after finding that there was nothing unusual about her.It was not that Meredith was not fine, she just chose a different way of doing things.In the past, she would ask Josiah if she thought of anything. Every time, Josiah would find a bunch of excuses to dispel her doubts.However, she knew that Josiah did this for her own good.However, she did not want him to be so good, especially if she was as bad as the internet said she was.Not only did she have an affair with a servant and became pregnant with an illegitimate child, but she also pushed his first love downstairs, resulting in that woman being in a vegetative state.She could not accept that she was such a vicious woman.Therefore, she will no longer ask Josiah who Yoel and Nia was, nor will she ask him about
Meredith remembered that Josiah's grandmother had a bad stomach and immediately felt guilty."I'm sorry, I'm so useless, I can't even cook a proper meal.""What nonsense are you talking about, the food you cook is delicious." Josiah raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair. "If you want to do it, do it.""But what if you get an upset stomach after eating it?""It doesn't matter, even if I get an upset stomach, I'll recover." Josiah was full of tenderness. "Your food is so delicious, so what if I get diarrhea?"Meredith was really happy. "Then I'll do it.""Go."Meredith got up and walked into the kitchen.Seeing her back disappear, Josiah's eyes suddenly turned cold and fell on Jenny. "You seem to have a problem with my wife."Jenny was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly explained, "You have misunderstood, Sir. I was worried about your body and worried that you would get an upset stomach like Grandma, so I..."Jenny bit her lip before continuing, "
It looked so similar. Josiah coughed dryly, and asked in astonishment, "Edith, who are you painting?"Meredith turned her head to look at him, then shook her head. "I don't know who it is, but I always feel that this scene is very familiar.""Maybe it's a picture you've seen in an album." Josiah took the paintbrush off her hand. "Okay, it's getting late, it's time for us to go to bed."Meredith did not think much and went to sleep with him.When Meredith woke up the next day, the painting on the easel was gone.She ran downstairs with her bare feet and asked, "Lily, what happened to my painting?"Lily was tidying up the house, and when she heard Meredith's shout, she immediately came up to her. "Speak slowly, Ma'am, what kind of painting?""It's the one I painted yesterday, and it was in my room.""Did you paint yesterday? I don't know." Lily shook her head. "Ma'am, your room hasn't been cleaned today, and no one has ever entered.""Ma'am, could it be that Sir took the paint
