In order to dispel Josiah's idea of searching for the genuine hairpin, Meredith hurriedly added, "Actually, that hairpin is a bit like the gift my mother gave me on my 18th birthday. Seeing it is like seeing my mother, so…”She shook her head bitterly. "I don't want it anymore. I don't want to be sad."Thinking of her mother, her eyes turned red.Josiah naturally believed it.Of course, he believed her story about her mother. However, he still had doubts about the hairpin.After entering the study, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Ricky's number, and went straight to the point, "Do your organizers have the habit of making copies of auction items for guests?"Ricky did not expect that Josiah would question him so quickly, and was so frightened that he said, "Well... Yes, sometimes."Josiah heard something unusual in his nervous tone and raised his eyebrows. "Then who did you give the imitations to? Also, what imitations did you make?""Well..." Ricky became even more nerv
"No? If not, why would you ask the manager, Ricky, to deceive me?"Josiah sneered again, "Don't tell me that you bought it secretly. You are so poor that you can only rely on me to support it. Don't tell me that a good friend gave it to you. Your friends all want you to die. It is absolutely impossible for them to suddenly give you such an expensive thing."Meredith felt a chill in her heart.She did not expect that this man would see her through her so thoroughly.He was right. All of her friends did not like her, so who would give her such a precious hairpin?Under Josiah's cold gaze, she took a deep breath and said, "I don't know who gave it to me.""You don't know who gave it to you?" Josiah raised his eyebrows, obviously in disbelief."That's right." Meredith tried hard not to let him see through her lies. "I was drunk last night, I fell asleep not long after you left, and you just came back when I woke up. If you didn't take it off my head, I wouldn't even know it existed.
"I'm going to kill you!" She was still struggling.Josiah simply picked her up and walked toward the bathroom door.After throwing her on the big bed. He pinned her down and looked at her. "Are you making a fuss for that man? Try it! I'll let you never see Nia!"He used Nia to threaten her again.However, every time he used this trick, she would not dare to struggle anymore.However, there were pea-sized tears in her eyes, and she looked at him. "Josiah, do you know? This hairpin was given to me by my mother on my 18th birthday. Besides the perfume, it is the only thing that my mother left for me. When I had an accident, Ysabelle stole my hairpin, so it was circulated on the market again."I wonder why…why does a stranger know to secretly send it back to me, but you went and destroyed it?" She cried and said, "Are you so happy to see me sad? Are you so proud?""..." Josiah's angry eyes were slightly surprised.He did not expect this hairpin to be her 18th birthday present.Loo
"I'll fix it for you," he said.Meredith still did not give it to him. After all, in her heart, this man was untrustworthy.Josiah frowned. "Didn't you agree to be obedient?""I can't give this to you," she insisted with tears in her eyes.The hairpin has been broken, and she could not let it fall into Josiah's hands anymore.Her distrust made Josiah a little disappointed and annoyed at the same time.However, he could not let her hurt herself like this, so he could only continue to coax her. "Give it to me, I promise not to break it again, and tell me who gave you the hairpin. I'll pay him back the money he spent on the hairpin."Josiah was rich, and he was not afraid to take advantage of his position.Especially when he thinks that the other party is likely to be a man who had feelings for Meredith. He would not hesitate to use his wealth as leverage!No matter how he coaxed, Meredith would not let go.Seeing the blood oozing out of her palm from time to time, Josiah was st
Meredith shook her head. "I won't cry anymore."She said that she would not cry, but her tears could not stop flowing.Unlike before, she was shedding tears of joy and excitement. She was so happy!While she was happy, Josiah finally took out the two hairpin pieces from her palm. Then, he got up and took out the medicine box from the cabinet to clean up her wounds.The wound was a little deep, but she did not seem to feel the pain, and she still cried and laughed for a while.The wound was bandaged, and Josiah said, "Close your eyes and go to bed."She suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed his arm. "I don't want to sleep, I'm going to see Nia. Joe, if Nia wakes up and doesn't see her daddy and mommy, she will definitely be very disappointed. Her condition might worsen because of excessive disappointment."She choked up and continued, "So we can't sleep, we have to hurry over to accompany her and wait for her to wake up!"Josiah looked at her anxious face.It had been a long
Meredith looked at Josiah and complained, "If I hadn't chased you all the way to the airport last time, you would not have brought me to see Nia, right?"She was right.If she had not chased after him to the airport and insisted on coming over on the grounds of Nia's birthday, he would not have let her see Nia so easily.It was also because he did not believe that Doctor Joshua's suggestion can work on Nia."Doctor Joshua, Nia has been transferred to the general ward, can we stay by her side 24/7?" Meredith asked impatiently.Just now, she and Josiah went to see Nia for the first time and found that she did show signs of waking up. Nia seemed to respond to her and Josiah's arrival.She could guess that Nia must be very happy.Doctor Joshua thought for a moment and said, "sure." He originally disagreed, but he saw Mrs. Shelby's feelings for Nia, and he really could not bear to reject her."Thank you, Doctor Joshua, you are so kind and excellent." Meredith was grateful.Nia wa
"You bought it?" Meredith asked suspiciously."I've arranged for it long ago." Josiah deliberately teased her. "Do you think that I'm so insincere like you? You only want to search for a flower shop at the last minute."Meredith was at a loss for words from his teasing.Taking the flowers from the woman, Meredith pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why are there so few? There are only six.""I asked Doctor Joshua, and he said that Nia has just been transferred from the sterile ward. It's not good for her to be exposed to too many things from outside, so I didn't dare to buy so many flowers."Josiah pinched the rose petals, and his eyes showed tenderness. "Since Nia likes roses, we're going to have only roses in the front and back of the house in the future."Thinking of the garden at home, Meredith could not help but sneer. "It also depends on whether Nia forgives you, or if she wants the roses to be in the garden."After speaking, she pushed open the door and walked into Ni
If it was not for Doctor Joshua calling in time to tell them the good news of Nia, he would not even know how to take off the hairpin in her palm.Meredith glanced at her palm and shook her head. "I don't feel any pain.""You're not hungry, and you're not in pain. Are you made of steel?""Thanks to you, I have long been immune to pain." She curled the corners of her lips coldly.Being by Nia's side, she felt no pain at all.Josiah looked at the coldness in her eyes and sighed helplessly, "Mrs. Shelby, on such a good day, don't say these hurtful words, okay?"Meredith rarely agreed with what he said. She suppressed the hatred that came up in her heart.Nia was about to wake up. It was better to have a calm state of mind.In the evening, Josiah asked Meredith to go back to Shelby Mansion to rest, but she still refused.Her reason was that she could not sleep because of the time difference anyway, so she might as well stay with Nia in bed.Josiah had no choice but to compromise.
