Chapter 147


    Leah was so furious she was at a loss for words. “What do you mean by that?” “Do you not understand


    or are you just blind? Look at my face. It’s already ruined, yet Josiah insisted on prisoning me by his


    side.” Meredith looked at her and continued, “I also want to know. Does he love Yena? if he loves her,


    why would he force himself on me while she’s still unconscious?”


    “You!” Leah was infuriated. “Just because you can climb into Mister Josiah’s bed, are you being smug


    right now?”.


    “Miss Leah, you’re wrong.” Meredith still remained calm. “I hope more than you that Josiah loves Yena


    deeply. It’s best if he could immediately get married to her, then live happily ever after.”


    “Then, what next?” Suddenly, Josiah’s cold voice came from the door. “Then you can openly sell your


    body and earn money, is that it?”


    Two of them in the room immediately looked at the door.


    Leah immediately changed her attitude. She respectfully greeted Josiah, “Sir.”


    Meredith looked at Josiah, then at Leah. She sneered at Josiah, “Mister Josiah, for Yena’s mother’s


    sake, can you be a man and calm her down?


    “After all, Yena has been with you for so many years. She has suffered so much. How could you do this


    to her when she’s unconscious?” Meredith shook her head and said, “To be honest, if I was Yena, I


    would be so sad and be in so much despair I would never want to wake up.”


    When Leah heard what Meredith said, she was not thankful at all. On the other hand, she thought that


    Meredith was pretending in front of Josiah.


    Josiah, on the contrary, saw that Meredith was being serious. She was trying very hard to push him


    away to regain her freedom. The more she wanted freedom, the more he did not want to give it to her.


    The more he wanted her to stick by his side.


    “Provoking me would not work.” Josiah sneered. “Meredith, what my rtionship with Yena is, whether


    we will get married or not, has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with the revenge I’m seeking


    on you.”


    “It looks like you don’t love Yena at all.”


    “Whether I love Yena or not will not affect my actions on you.”


    Meredith could not help but gasp. She stopped talking


    Leah looked at the two of them. They were clearly going up against each other, yet she felt something


    strange too. It felt like they both loathed each other to the extreme, but it was more like they loved each


    other to the extreme too. Leah was quite disappointed that Josiah did not once mention that he loved


    Yena. To avoid the awkwardness, Leah silently left the bedroom.


    Meredith pushed herself up and got out of the bed. The thin covers slipped off her body, showing off the


    scars instantly.


    Josiah felt that he was going crazy for her again. Thus, he deliberately mocked, “What? Are you trying


    to seduce me again?”

    “Josiah, don’t forget that you were the one that dragged me in here by force.” Meredith’s tone was cold


    too. She picked up her clothes and put them on.


    Josiah angrily grabbed his wrist and pulled her forward. “You knew that I would use this method to


    punish you, that’s why you keep pissing me off over and over again, is that it?” He was so close to her.


    Their breaths intertwined. He was clearly thinking about her body again. Meredith snatched her wrist


    away from his grasp. She red at him and enunciated , “Don’ forget, Miss Leah is still outside the


    door. Aren’t you afraid you might break her heart, treating her daughter this way?”


    Josiah nced at the door and sure enough, he saw the corner of Leah’s clothes. He could only grit his


    teeth and let Meredith go.
