To earn enough money so that she could run away, Meredith went all out.She raised her hand and knocked on the door. She only entered after permission was given. Only a man and a girl were in the room. The girl was on the man's lap. She was exactly like what Meredith's colleague said, limp. There was a crutch next to the sofa.The girl was also like how the colleagues said she was reluctant to be at a place like that. Her face was filled with fear and tears.Mister Quinn was extremely unhappy at Meredith's arrival. "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"Meredith took a glance at the girl and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mister Quinn. Miss Josie got me to offer you my company.""You?" Mister Quinn swept Meredith a gaze and said fiercely, "Who needs you? Can't you see I'm busy?""Mister Quinn, Miss Josie said that when you brought this girl in, she was being watched. Miss Josie was afraid that you might get in trouble, so she got me to swap places with the girl.""This is my
Meredith nodded with difficulty. "Yes."Though she might seem passionate, her heart was bleeding. She had to sell herself for 100,000 dollars.This was the first time she has made such a cheap and lowly decision. She kept convincing herself that for Nia, she would die for her. Let alone letting others use this broken body?"Okay! I'll give you the hundred thousand dollars!" Mister Quinn took his phone out. "I'll transfer it to you right now.""Thank you. You're the best, Mister Quinn." Meredith forced her tears back and she gave him her bank account.Soon after, she heard the notification of the money transferred to her account. Meredith was instantly delighted. She was crying and laughing at the same time. She never expected that the once-wealthy Miss Meredith who treated money like toilet paper would have a day like that, to be so excited because of a 100,000 dollars that she cried.The 100,000 dollars represented hope! "Can we start now?" Mister Quinn threw his phone to the
The lady was scared half to death. She did not dare to offend Josiah anymore. She immediately ran off.Miss Josie was unnerved too. She immediately said, "Mister Josiah, don't get angry. I'll go get Miss Merelyn back. I'll go now…"At that moment, Meredith was being pinned down on the sofa by Mister Quinn. Although she was mentally ready, the moment Mister Quinn pressed his lips on her, she still felt disgusted. Under desperation, she stopped him by placing her hands on his chest. "Mister Quinn. Hold up.""What is it?" Mister Quinn grabbed her hands."I…I want to take a shower.""You don't need to shower. I don't find you dirty.""But I do. Mister Quinn. I want to wash myself up. That is the only way for you to justify your one hundred thousand dollars.""Save the trouble. You just compensate me later."Meredith was speechless. Seeing how eager Mister Quinn was, she knew she had no way out.She gave up struggling, letting him carry her to bed and tearing her skirt…Just whe
The door slammed, and Mister Quinn left.Meredith sat up with difficulty. She looked at Josiah mockingly. "Mister Josiah, you transferred me here to be an escort, to sell my body and drink with customers, yet you keep messing up my work. Don't tell me that you can't bear to watch your ex-wife sleep with other men?"Josiah squinted his eyes and looked at her half-opened skirt. He felt the flames of anger raging in him, especially when he heard her provocative words.He put out the cigarette in his ashtray and looked over at her. He gazed at her coldly. "Meredith, all it takes is a hundred thousand dollars for a pervert to sleep with you?""Mister Josiah, have you forgotten? My last transaction was only three hundred dollars. That man was much more of a pervert compared to Mister Quinn."Meredith smiled and continued, "Mister Josiah, you clearly can't bear to watch me sleep with other men. Why are you forcing yourself to do so, then?""Are you trying to provoke me?""Since when ha
Josiah raised his hand and wiped off the blood on his forehead. He was so furious he gritted his teeth. "Meredith Leighton. How dare you hit me?"Meredith was stunned by the blood on his forehead. However, the next second she smiled. "Josiah, compared to you throwing me on glass shards, what is this? Although I can't fight you, it doesn't mean I can't defend myself. If you force my hand…"She rushed out of the bathroom, grabbed a knife from the coffee table, and aimed it at Josiah. "…I will stab you!"At that moment, she was barely dressed and dripping from head to toe in the water. Her face was pale with terror, yet she was gripping the knife tightly.She looked extremely wretched.Josiah did not take her threats seriously. He wiped the blood off his face while walking toward her.He sneered, "Okay, if you dare stab me, I'll let you go tonight."Stab! The sharp knife entered his skin.Josiah was bewildered. He slowly looked down at his chest. At the same place three years ag
The 100,000 dollars she got from Mister Quinn was so that she could run away, but there was no Zade in her escape plan.She studied medicine. She knew the severity of her stab just now. The stab would not kill Josiah. At most, it would make him weak and bedridden for a few days. It was just allowing herself to escape. Once he recovered and resumed being the devil, no one would be able to deal with him.Because Josiah was injured, the Luna Club had quite a commotion.Meredith, who was initially ordered not to leave the club, escaped amidst the chaos and rushed to the hospital.When Alayna saw her, she asked in surprise, "Edith, you're early today.""Mom, there's no time to explain. Go home now and pack. I'm discharging Nia. We have to leave Jehovah City right now.""Why so sudden? What happened?"Meredith could not explain much. She looked at her mother seriously and said, "I stabbed Josiah.""What?" Alayna was shocked. She looked at Meredith with widened eyes. "How bad is it?
Meredith left the doctor's office in destitution.When she returned to Nia's ward, she saw Zade standing there waiting for her. Meredith quickly walked over. "Zade, why are you here? Didn't I say…""Edith, I'm here to take you away from Jehovah City." Zade interrupted her and continued anxiously, "I've heard it from Zya. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, we can escape.""Are you sure?""I've already gotten an ambulance. We'll leave tomorrow night.""You've already found an ambulance?" Meredith was stunned. "Where did you get it?""From a private medical company. The fees were almost the same as the hospital's ambulance."When Meredith heard what Zade said, she was rather moved. Just when she was in her most helpless moment, someone lent her a hand. It was the most precious thing in the world. Zade was her savior."Thank you," Meredith said with tears in her eyes, "Zade, thank you so much. But you don't have to leave with me. I'll be fine."Zade grabbed her by the shoulders and
Meredith could not help but ask, "But why?""Daddy…" Nia started sobbing.Meredith's heart broke for Nia.It seemed like Nia missed Josiah as her father and wanted to see him badly enough that she did not want to leave Jehovah City.But…Nia would never know that it was her father who had cornered them to the point that they had to run away from him.Meredith sighed bitterly and left the ward.By the time she returned to the clubhouse, most of the customers had left.Meredith acted as if nothing had happened and sneaked back into her dorm.At the sight of Meredith's return, Zya exclaimed in surprise, "Merelyn, what are you doing back here?"Meredith shushed her and asked, "Mister Josiah sent people over to look for me, right?""Yeah, and they even came looking for you here, but I told them I don't know where you went."It was exactly as Zade had guessed. Even though Josiah was admitted to the hospital but he made sure that his people kept an eye on her.After getting some
