Chapter 172


    Chapter 172 “Yeah, because I wronged Josiah, you snatched everything away from mom, and went on


    to stay together with that new lover of yours,” Smiling through her tears, she added, “but why are you


    the one who gets to stay?”

    “I was the one who managed thepany for so many years, of course, it shouldn’t be me who is


    supposed to leave!”


    “Indeed. You’ve been trying to turn thepany to yours little by little, and Josiah simply gave you a


    reason to abandon your wife and your daughter. Listen, Marvin Leighton, you are the one who killed


    mom…”


    Ysabelle and Josiah too.


    Each of them was more wicked, crueler, and more ruthless than the other.


    Meredith had kept tabs on each of them.


    Feeling guilty, Marvin turned his head away to avoid looking at her eyes which were filled with tears. “I


    don’t have the time to be arguing with you over this. Do yourself a favor and go.” Watching him as he


    left, Meredith said coldly, “Marvin Leighton, you and my mom are not rted anymore. You don’t have


    to collect her body.” Turning around, Marvin stared right at her and asked, “What did you say?”


    “I said, stay the f*ck away from my mother.”


    “You-” Gritting his teeth, Marvin nodded his head furiously. “Fine, since you asked. Don’t go around


    comining that I didn’t try to do anything to help.”


    Marvin then left.


    Even though it was hard, Meredith managed to arrange a funeral for her mother.


    There were no rtives, no friends. Just herself.


    Meredith did not even know how she ended up this way. All she knew was that she was running out of


    tears to cry.


    Kneeling in front of her mother’s gravesite, Meredith choked up, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m sorry that I wasn’t


    able to take good care of you when you were alive. I can’t even afford to send you off properly with a


    funeral. I hope you don’t resent me too much.”


    Between her tears, she smiled. “Mom, I know you won’t mind. You’ve suffered a lot in this life and I


    hope that you’ll be able to get some rest and peace at where you are now.”


    “Mom, I’lle to visit you often, I promise.” Tracing her fingers along with her mother’s smile in the


    picture, Meredith said, “I’m leaving now. Nia is still waiting for me at the hospital.”


    Leaving the graveyard , Meredith returned to her rented studio, took a shower, and went straight to the


    hospital. Her mother’s sudden passing had left Meredith in a shock.


    She stood in front of the lift absentmindedly, not even noticing that the lift doors had opened and closed


    several times.


    It was until she saw a familiar silhouette in front of her. She moved quietly aside and walked into the lift.


    Josiah had visited Yena in the morning and he was not scheduled to visit her in the evening but he


    decided toe anyway. Perhaps he knew that Nia was treated in this hospital and he might get a


    chance to run into Meredith. “Wait!” As usual, Josiah ordered her. But Meredith ignored him. Right


    when the doors of the lifts were about to close, Josiah used his hand to stop the doors, squeezed


    inside and dragged her out of the lift by force. Meredith, on the other hand, did not resist nor fight back,


    allowing him to drag her along as he wished.
