"I…" Meredith stammered, "There's been a misunderstanding, I am not…not Charlie's girlfriend, I am his…um…""You are his? Go on," Josiah taunted coldly.Meredith suddenly felt nervous all of a sudden.Confused, Charlie held Meredith's hands in his and asked, "What are you talking about, Miss Witch? Don't be intimidated by my cousin. He's always this cold.""Miss Witch?" Josiah arched his brows as his voice sounded even colder.So it was Charlie who was addressing Meredith as Miss Witch.What about the patient? And the young lad?What about having a shift on the weekend?Charlie shot Josiah a glare and complained, "Josiah, stop staring at my girlfriend like that. You're scaring her!"Josiah ignored Charlie. He kept his eyes glued onto Meredith as if he was waiting for her to explain herself.Josiah's grandmother suddenly burst into an awkward laugh. Pointing at Meredith and Charlie, she asked, "Both of you…are doing this on purpose, am I right? You want to get back at that bas
"Uh…Charlie," Mary tugged on her son and said, "although your cousin and his wife got divorced, they are together now after all. They even have a daughter. Don't disturb them."Charlie retorted, "It's not like I can't raise Nia up.""Do you think I'll let my daughter acknowledge other people as her father?" Josiah looked at Charlie coldly. "I think she should still call you uncle. That seems more like it."Although Josiah's expressions were cold, Charlie was never afraid of him. He snatched Meredith's hand from Josiah's. "As long as Meredith is willing to marry me, Nia could call me daddy."Meredith was extremely speechless being in between them. Mary's head hurt too. Out of desperation, she could only ask Old Madam Shelby for help, "Mom, say something."Then only Old Madam Shelby pulled Meredith to the side and said, "Charlie is right. Meredith is single right now. Everyone has the right to pursue her. But I'm warning you two, fighting over Meredith is one thing. Don't cross the
Old Madam Shelby pulled Charlie back to the sofa and poured him a cup of tea. "Come, have some tea to calm yourself down."Although Charlie was a little reluctant, Josiah and Meredith had already left. He thanked Old Madam Shelby, "Grandma, thank you for supporting me."Old Madam Shelby sighed, held his hand, and said, "Charlie, actually, I only did that just now so you had an out, also to give Josiah a sense of crisis.""Grandma!" Charlie furrowed his brows."Charlie, your cousin and his wife might be divorced, but they plan to reconcile. They also have a daughter. There is no need for us to meddle in their affairs."Old Madam Shelby patted her chest. "Don't worry. I'll find you a good girl. I promise she'll be much better than Meredith.""Yes," Mary chimed in calmly, "no matter how good Meredith is, she is your cousin's ex-wife. She is also the woman that your cousin wants to get back with. We should not spoil their relationship. Uh…if you really want a girlfriend, I can introd
Not only did Josiah not let her go, but he also gripped her tighter."Was that why you were dying to look for the hairpin last night? It's not because of your mother, it's because you were seeing his family today?"Meredith fought with all her might. "This has nothing to do with you!""Meredith, I think I have been treating you too well recently, that you have forgotten yourself!" He controlled her body with one hand while tearing off her clothes roughly with the other.Then, he held her by the chin and said with gritted teeth, "I haven't made you know your place for a long time, which is why you have forgotten about it already, right?"That jerk's old condition was flaring up again! He was going to force it on her again!Realizing that her clothes were getting lesser and lesser, Meredith yelled at him frantically, "Josiah! If you dare to sleep with me, I'll kill myself on the spot!"Josiah paused for a while. He looked at her and sneered, "Die? Could you bear to do it?"Meredi
This was something Josiah could never understand. Charlie had always been living abroad. He had only returned to the country for less than two months.In the past month, Meredith had only gone out to buy clothes for Nia once. Other than that, she was mostly at the hospital the entire time taking care of Nia."Don't you still not understand? Meredith's charm comes from inside. She doesn't attract men with her beauty," Liam said honestly, "to tell you the truth, if you weren't my good friend, I would like her too."Josiah coldly looked at him. "You've said it before." That was because they had fought over Meredith before."So, what are you confused about?" Liam shrugged."Forget about it. You should just tell me what methods I should use.""What methods do I have?""You've flirted with so many girls. Aren't you still doing well now?" Josiah said and looked at him.Sure enough, not everyone was built the same. Liam could change partners every day, yet he could barely deal with Mer
At that moment, he realized that he had wrongfully blamed her.Everything she did was for Nia. To treat Nia.Josie thought hard before asking for credit unabashedly, "Back then, Merelyn was in a tough spot. She always asked for her pay early. I always gave it to her.""You don't have to say anything more," Josiah said calmly.He did not want to bring up those matters anymore. He could not bear to do it.At the thought that back then, Nia was still in the hospital waiting to be urgently treated, yet he found all ways to make things difficult for her, he felt like a jerk."You're right. If I were Meredith, I would choose Charlie too." Josiah bitterly picked up his glass and took a sip. He asked, "Tell me, why was I so stupid back then? Why didn't I believe that Nia was my daughter?""Because you lost your mind over the Yoel incident. You always thought the worst of everything. Naturally, with Meredith, your IQ goes down to negative numbers. Luckily Nia is fine now, if not, you'll
Greg struggled a little. His expressions were still malicious. "Josiah, you killed my daughter and made my company go bankrupt. I'll never let you go!""Is this how you're doing it?" Josiah sneered condescendingly, "Your tactics are a little too low.""You—" Greg wanted to pounce at him. "What about your tactics? You're more despicable than anyone else. You're ruthless! You don’t deserve to be human!"Josiah's expressions finally darkened a little. Did he not deserve to be human? Was he ruthless?At that moment, what he thought were Meredith's words about him."But it was your daughter that offended me first." Josiah never cared what other people thought of him, yet he was trying to explain himself."Maeve only liked you. If you didn't like her, you could have just told her. Why did you have to kill her? Why did you have to come at Xander Corporation because of her?" Greg scolded, "Josiah, you're a jerk! Not only are you vicious to your pursuers, but you also abuse your wife! You
That was right! Meredith was only worried about Josiah because of Nia! Other than Nia, she had no feelings or thoughts toward Josiah.Liam nodded and said to her, "Have a seat."Meredith found a chair to sit down on, yet she began to feel antsy. She kept looking in the direction of the emergency room.To distract herself, she asked Liam, "Why did Maeve's father knock Josiah over? Was it because of Maeve?""I'm guessing the main reason was that the Xander Corporation had gone bankrupt." Liam said, "After all, when Maeve offended Josiah, Greg immediately cut ties with her. He no longer acknowledged Maeve as his daughter.""Xander Corporation has gone bankrupt?" Meredith was stunned. "Josiah did that?""I don't…think so." Liam thought for a while before saying, "Josiah only stopped all the cooperation with Xander Corporation. The people on the market also distanced themselves from Xander Corporation to please Josiah. This was how they went out of business step by step."Meredith co
