"If that's the case…there's nothing else for us to talk about anymore." Quinley's expression turned cold and added, "Ysabelle, it's not up to you or me to say who got Maeve killed. And besides, she was found dead in jail, you can't possibly say that I have anything to do with it.""You-!" Ysabelle was wordless with rage."You need evidence before you accuse me of something. Do you have any evidence that I killed her?" Quinley scoffed coldly, "Ysabelle, I offered to help you but this is what I get? With you doubting me and causing inconveniences? What more could I possibly do?"It is Josiah Shelby who wants you dead. The mighty Josiah Shelby. If I had the power and influence that he has, I would have done everything to save you. But I don't!"In other words, Ysabelle brought this upon herself.Ysabelle was all covered up on the couch. She regretted that she went to talk to Meredith the other day.She should have avoided Meredith.But it was all too late now."Meredith has been s
Jenny simply nodded and waited for Meredith to get into the car.Shortly after, Meredith walked out of the house dressed in her favorite white dress and with a butterfly-shaped mask on her face."Ma'am, please watch your step." Yuna helped Meredith to get into the car.Meredith nodded and after getting into the car, she said to the girls, "Yuna and Jenny, come on in."After getting into the car, Jenny asked, "Ma'am, where are we going today?""Anywhere is fine.""Let's go to the mall that we went to the last time. There are a lot of options there.""Ah, I don't plan on buying anything today. I just want to look around." Meredith thought that she should not simply spend money as she had made Josiah promise that he would reduce his expenditure.Hearing that Meredith was not going to buy anything, Jenny felt a bit displeased.But of course, she did not dare to show it on her face.That was when her phone rang.Jenny checked her phone and her expression changed right away after
With a turn, the man dragged her into a black van.Meredith was aghast. She was in a panic and continued resisting and cried out in a muffled voice, "What are you doing? Let go of me."But within a few seconds, Meredith stopped making any noise.She passed out on the car seat.Upon seeing that Meredith was still nowhere to be seen even though the gallery was about to close, Yuna started getting anxious and worried. "I should go up and see if Ma'am has left.""Let me come with you." Jenny got off the car from the other side and walked toward the lift with Yuna.The gallery was closing and an employee stopped them from entering. "My apologies, miss, but the gallery is closed. Please come another day.""Sir, we are not here for the gallery, we're looking for someone.""Who are you looking for?""We're looking…for a friend. She's still inside," Yuna replied.One of the female staff walked out of the gallery and said, "There's no one else in the gallery. I suppose your friend has
...By the time Meredith regained her consciousness, the skies had already turned dark.Squinting her eyes, she tried to scan the surroundings. She was in an unfamiliar place and it was dark and dirty.Where was she?How did she end up waking up at such a place?Relaxing the sore muscles on her shoulders, Meredith sat herself up but was immediately shocked by the sudden appearance of a silhouette."You-" Meredith froze. Because the place was dimly lit, it took her some time to figure out that the person in front of her was Ysabelle."You are…Ysabelle?""Should I be touched that my cruel and cold-hearted sister actually remembers my name?" Ysabelle walked over to her, crouched down so that she was looking into Meredith's eyes, and added, "Right, I'm sure you have tons of questions that you'd want to ask me, right? Go on, take your time. I'm here to answer all of them.""Why did you bring me to such a place?" Meredith asked."Sis, don't you think that your question is too borin
"I will not believe a single word that you said, so stop it…stop saying anything…"Seeing how Meredith was suffering in pain, not only did Ysabelle not feel sorry for her, but instead, she purposely pulled her hands away from her ears and went on, "Meredith Leighton, stop acting all crazy and dumb. Do you really think that you can avoid the truth by acting like this? You can't!"Even if you get rid of Maeve and throw me back into jail and even though we are all forbidden to tell you the truth, you will find out about the truth someday!""I don't believe you and I don't believe any one of you! Joe will never do this to me!" With all the strength in her, Meredith pushed Ysabelle away from her and Ysabelle fell to the ground.Fuming, Ysabelle got back up onto her feet and slapped Meredith across her face. "B*tch, how dare you push me?!""I don't believe you!" Meredith felt a burning pain spreading across her cheek.But it was as if she could not feel the pain and only kept repeating
Ysabelle was struggling to get away from Meredith as she shouted furiously at the two men of hers, "Are you guys dead or what? Get her off me!"The men then only came back to their senses and hurriedly moved Meredith away from Ysabelle.Ysabelle injured her head and was beaten all over by Meredith. Raw anger shot through her and she slapped Meredith across her cheeks. "You crazy b*tch! How dare you lay your hands on me?"If she was not held back by the two men, Meredith would have returned a slap on Ysabelle's face.Meredith could not care less who Ysabelle was or how sinister Ysabelle could be.All she knew what that Ysabelle had forced her to drink the drugged juice and caused her to have a miscarriage.After a moment of resisting and trying to fight off the men, Meredith suddenly stopped moving and ended up breaking down in tears.Watching the video clip that was sent by Ysabelle, Josiah's face immediately darkened.Especially when Ysabelle said that she was just repeating w
He felt a wrenching pain in his heart as his stomach tied up in knots. Josiah bellowed furiously into the phone, "Ysabelle, don't you dare touch her!"Ysabelle said nothing and all Josiah could hear was Meredith's painful cries. After a moment, Ysabelle finally replied in a mocking tone, "Didn't you watch the video that I sent you? The baby is gone, Josiah. Why do you still care if she dies?""Or…" Ysabelle cackled and added, "could it be that you're calling me to tell me that you're giving up on her? That you don't care whether she dies or not?""Cut your bull and tell me what it is that you want!" With his teeth gritted tightly together, Josiah seethed, "Ysabelle, if you're smart enough, you know better that killing Meredith won't do you any good. So tell me what it is that you want and I'll do what I can."Ysabelle laughed instead, "You're a funny man, aren't you, Mister Josiah? Even if I ask for a hundred million dollars, what's the use of that money anyway? It's not like I hav
Meredith was stroking her tummy. It was as if she did not care that Ysabelle was holding a knife to her neck.Ysabelle's resentment festered in her and she held the knife closer to Meredith's neck until tiny droplets of blood were seeping out from Meredith's neck.Even though the place was dimly-lit, Josiah noticed the blood."Stop, Ysabelle!"Ysabelle pulled Meredith's hair on the back roughly and she did not care about Josiah's threats nor the fact that Meredith's face was all scrunched up in pain.She then seethed into Meredith's ears, taunting, "Meredith Leighton, he's lying to you. Do you really think that your baby is going to live after you drank the entire glass of drugged juice? Your baby is gone!""No, he isn't!" At the mention that her baby was gone, Meredith got triggered and started yelling and crying, "my baby is not dead! Joe, please save our baby! I don't want him to die! No!"Because she was struggling and moving around, the knife that was held against her neck
