Turned out that he was here too.Turned out that Ysabelle and him were already this close to each other.Turned out that Ysabelle's plan had worked out perfectly in her favor.She cracked a bitter smile. Looking at how Ysabelle was leaning intimately in Josiah's arms, she said, "Mister Josiah, if you don't mind me using your words - don't you think that this scene is oddly familiar?"Back then, Ysabelle had put on a similar show to trick him and this incident was no different.Glancing at her, Josiah tugged at the corners of his lips. "So you mean to say that Ysabelle wants to kill your daughter? But her plan failed and she hurt herself in the face?""I caught her red-handed just in time. If I hadn't pushed her away in time, she would have pushed Nia off the stairs!" Alayna was quivering in anger.Ysabelle retorted, "Alayna Sawyer, do you think I'm that dumb to harm that b*stard's child? What is in it for me anyway if the child is dead?""Because…"Alayna was about to argue ba
Seeing how Meredith was pleading with her meekly, Ysabelle was exhilarated.Three years ago, Meredith was not her match and to this day, she was still not a good match for her."Exactly. How could someone at this age still be this evil and scheming? She should be taught a lesson by the law," Ysabelle looked at Josiah and asked, "what do you say, Josiah?""I agree," replied Josiah.Even though her entire body was quivering in anger, at the thought of Nia who was left all alone in the hospital, Alayna bit down on her anger and said to Ysabelle, "Ysabelle, it's my fault, I should have been more careful. Would you be so kind-hearted to forgive me? Please…""Aunt Alayna, if you'd chosen to admit to your wrongdoing at the beginning instead of accusing me of having an intent to kill, I wouldn't even have called the cops," Ysabelle added, "If I were to let you go this time, what happens if you end up being more aggressive toward me?""Ysabelle…" Alayna dropped onto her knees and begged,
In the mansion.Yena was put in the guest room on the second floor. Ysabelle was extremely busy. She was much more considerate and eager toward her than to her sisters.After settling Yena down, she placed a bouquet of fresh roses by the nightstand next to the bed and smiled at Josiah. She said, "Josiah, Yena loves this color of roses. I will change a fresh bouquet for her every day."Without waiting for Josiah to say anything, Ysabelle continued, "Also, Josiah, I'll just stay in the room next to hers. It's easier to take care of Yena that way."She did not expect that Josiah would say, "No need. I've already found someone to take care of Yena."Ysabelle was slightly disappointed. Previously, Josiah did not object to it, she thought that he had agreed for her to come over to take care of Yena. She never would have thought…"But, the doctor said that it's best to let Yena be with people she's familiar with. It'll help her come around quicker," Ysabelle did not give up and continue
"It depends on how sincere you kneel to me.""Where?"Ysabelle gave her an address. Half an hour later, they met in an alley. Meredith looked at the woman in bright-colored clothes, looking elegant and regal. However, her mind was filled with what that woman did to her in the past.Knowing how vicious that woman was, would she easily let her mother go? Meredith did not believe it.However, to save her mother, she had to give it a try.Meredith bent her knees and knelt on the ground. "I'm sorry. I hope that you can forgive my mother. She's old. I hope you can write her a pardon letter."Ysabelle looked at how lowly Meredith looked. She chuckled smugly, "Meredith Leighton. You're still so useless. You've gone into hiding for three years and you're still such a coward."Then, Ysabelle raised her hand and poured the iced tea that she bought a moment ago while passing by a dessert shop over Meredith's head.The iced tea drizzled from Meredith's head to the back of her neck, soakin
"Yes, I'll admit it. I wanted to kill her." Ysabelle nodded. She provoked Meredith harder. "Back then, I initially wanted to throw her into the flames, I never thought that she would escape it, so I can only continue taking action on her."Today, when I picked up Yena from the hospital, I saw her upstairs waiting for her daddy and mommy to come to see her. I found her face annoying, so I couldn’t help but walk toward her…"Meredith finally could not take it any longer and pounced at Ysabelle. She grabbed Ysabelle's hair and yelled, "Ysabelle! You viciously attacked a three-year-old. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"Ysabelle was forced backward by Meredith and hit the wall behind her. Ysabelle did not fight back, letting Meredith continue hitting her, letting Meredith take it out on her. She merely hugged her head. "Meredith, stop hitting me. I've already said I'll forgive your mother. It hurts…""Ah! My head hurts!" Ysabelle continued to wail, "Meredith, I was wrong. I'll never d
"Mister Josiah, don't worry. Miss Yena's life signs are stable. She has no signs of maladjustment due to the changing environment.""Okay. Thank you." Josiah nodded.As long as Meredith is not involved, his character was quite gentle.…Meredith thought that if she took her mother's medical records, she would be able to bail her out, yet she never thought that she would be refused.She initially did not understand why that happened, until she remembered what Ysabelle said to her. Ysabelle said that she would torment her bit by bit, making her wish that she was never born.Making sure her mother dies inside of prison was probably the first step of her plan! After begging people inside for a long time without getting any response, she could not help but change her target to Josiah.She knew that Josiah was not any better than Ysabelle, she also knew that it would be futile to ask him for help, but she still went ahead with it.At that moment, Josiah was drinking with his bunch
Nia was still in the hospital with Zya looking after her. Meredith already said that she would head over once work was done. How could she look after Nia if she was drunk?"Mister Josiah, I can't drink today. Can we have some other type of fun?" She asked stiffly."What fun do you want to have?"Someone by the side started a ruckus, "Mister Josiah, stop pretending to be a prude. Do you need to ask what fun the lady wants?""Yes, she's already taking the first move, you can stop pretending!"Meredith listened to them, but she was calm as water. Perhaps she was forced by Josiah to do too many embarrassing and humiliating things for the past few days. She had started to grow numb to it.At that moment, she only wanted to rescue her mother out and earn some money to treat Nia. Not only joking around drinking with other men, even if they stripped her clothes off and sold her off, but she would also be willing to do it.Josiah swirled the glass of wine in his hands. He looked at the w
"Where are your bruises? Show me, then I'll believe you."Meredith was speechless. Ysabelle slapped her on the injured side of her face. There was no bruise to show him."I saw the footage of you pushing her to the wall. I saw the injuries on her head today too." Josiah bent down and looked at her closely once more. "Meredith, do you think there is still a reason for you to talk to me?"Meredith panicked.Just because she hit Ysabelle, so she did not have a chance to speak at all?"Mister Josiah…" Meredith shook her head with difficulty, she tried to calm herself down. "I can't explain myself about Ysabelle. You won't believe me either, but my mother can't go to prison. Her health is terrible. She passed out in the hospital a few days ago.""Shouldn't you tell all this to Ysabelle?"If it worked with Ysabelle, she would not have come to plead with him, even forced herself to drink so much alcohol."I know that you are close to Ysabelle, Mister Josiah. As long as you help me, I'
