Chapter 37


    At the sight of the spilled red wine on the floor, Miss Josie asked carefully, “Sir, did Merelyn do


    something that upset you? I’ll apologize…” “There’s no need for that.” Josiah interrupted her and


    ordered, “Have her serve more customers, and, starting from this moment, she is not allowed to leave


    the club until she clears her debt for this bottle of red wine.” Josiah then walked toward the door. “No!”


    Meredith ran toward him, grabbed the sleeves of his shirt, and begged, “Sir, I can’t be locked up here!


    I…my family is in the hospital and I have to take care of her, please, I beg you…


    Meredith was crying now.


    Puzzled, Josiah arched his brows. “Family? You still have family?” From what he knew, the Leightons


    had cut ties with her when he pressured them to do so three years ago “Yes…” Meredith sniffled.; “Tell


    me, who else do you have?” “My…my mom.” Wiping away the tears on her face with the back of her


    hand, she added, “My mom had not been well since she was kicked out from the family. Sir, my mom


    had always liked you and treated you well. You…shouldn’t do this to her.”


    “Is there anyone in Jehovah City that doesn’t like me? So what? That didn’t stop them from stabbing


    me in the back.” Josiah pushed away from her hands and continued walking out. Meredith froze. What


    should she do?


    What about Nia? Not only was she losing her sry, but she was also losing her freedom. Miss Josie


    did not know what to say. Putting her hands on Meredith’s shoulders, she said,” Merelyn, I’m sorry that


    you got entangled with Mister Josiah.” “Ma’am, you have to help me. I really can’t be locked up in


    here.” With tears rolling down her cheeks, Meredith begged. Miss Josie shook her head. “The only way


    that I can help is to have you serve customers that are slightly better. As for the rest, I really can’t do


    anything about them.” After Miss Josie left, Meredith felt a churning pain in her stomach and at the


    same time, nauseated.


    Rushing to the washroom , Meredith shoved fingers down her throat, trying to make herself throw up.


    She wanted to get the tulips out of her stomach.


    After several attempts, Meredith gave up and could only chug down tons of water in hopes to dilute the


    poison from the flowers.


    Exideredith’s life could have been in danger if the poison of the tulips were strong.


    After resting, Meredith was assigned a new job. She was sent to some VIP guest room as a


    companion. Miss Josie promised to have her serve customers that were more ountable but


    Meredith was skeptical about it.


    However, no matter what reputation the customers had, they would still drink and get drunk in such


    ces.


    When she got married to Josiah, Meredith had trained herself to hold her liquor as she wanted to be


    the perfect wife for Josiah by being hispanion when attending all sorts of events and parties.

    “Aren’t you thedy that was ying the piano earlier?” One of the men asked in surprise. Meredith


    nodded slightly. “You have a good eye, Mister Garrett.”


    “Goodness, it is really you. You yed really well earlier. Do you mind giving me your contact


    number…”


    “Ehem…” His girlfriend that was sitting beside him cleared her throat awkwardly and nced toward


    Meredith. “No matter how well she ys, she’s still a bar hostess at the end of the day. Why are you


    getting all excited?” Brushing off her remarks, the man said, “So what if she’s a hostess? It’s not like


    she’s stealing or snatching.”


    “You – !”


    Seeing how the lovebirds were about to start a fight, Meredith quickly stepped in. “Sir and ma’am, it’s


    all my fault. Please don’t fight just because of me.”


    “Since you admit that it is your fault, you must finish drinking everything on the table!” Meredith


    scanned the table with more than ten sses of beer still on it.
