Chapter 277


    Lily was shocked. “Sir, Miss Meredith had just undergone surgery and she’s hurt her forehead, hence


    I…arranged for her to sleep in the guest room.”


    Lily wondered to herself, ‘Weren’t you who wanted Meredith to sleep in the guest room?’


    But on second thought, Meredith was pregnant then but now her child was gone. “I want her back in


    the storage room. A despicable woman like her doesn’t deserve to be sleeping here.” Lily was puzzled.


    “Sir, why do you say that about Miss Meredith?” Josiah ignored her, turned around, and left. Meredith


    threw herself at Josiah’s knees, grabbed his trousers, and begged pathetically,” Josiah, let me go…”


    She had to visit Nia.


    “And why should I? So that you can run away with your lover boy?” “No, I have to see my daughter,”


    Shaking her head, she said, “Zade and 1…”


    “Shut up!” Josiah did not want her to be bringing up Nia and neither did he want to hear about the other


    men in her life, and Meredith had mentioned both of them.


    His fury sprung to life.


    Leaning toward her, Josiah grabbed her chin and seethed, “Meredith Leighton, women like you should


    be locked up so that you cannot go around causing trouble.”


    Tears rushed out of her eyes.


    Meredith wondered when would Josiah actually believe her.


    Right then, her phone rang.


    ncing at the caller’s ID, Josiah narrowed his eyes. “Answer it.”


    It was Zade who was calling.


    Meredith did not know whether Josiah was actually testing her, hence she hesitated.


    Josiah answered the call for her and threw the phone at her knees.

    On the other end of the call was Zade’s voice. “Merelyn, why were you discharged? I thought you just


    finished your surgery?” Meredith gnawed on her lips. She did not know what to say. Zade then added,


    “Did that Shelby prick force you to leave the hospital? He is not going to free us, is he? Merelyn, where


    are you? I’lle to get you right away.” “Do you want to know where she is?” Before Meredith could


    say anything, Josiah answered in her stead.


    Zade was stunned. He then seethed, “It’s you?”


    “Yes, it’s me. You want to know where Meredith is, don’t you? Let me tell you, she’s in my arms now.”


    “Josiah Shelby, you’re despicable!” “It’s not like I haven’t done worse before.” Josiah then switched the


    call into a video call.” Come, let me show you where she is, who she is, and what she’s doing…” He


    then grabbed the back of Meredith’s head and pressed his lips against hers. Meredith did not resist. .


    If it was back then, Meredith would have started resisting Josiah because she would be worried about


    Zade’s feelings.


    But Zade had changed and she was not someone that Meredith wanted to protect anymore.


    To her, both Zade and Josiah were just people who were sick in the head. Like a lifeless puppet,


    Meredith allowed Josiah to move his lips freely against hers. But the more that she showed no reaction,


    the more that Josiah kissed her more intensely until she was running out of breath.


    Zade who was on the other end of the call could not take it anymore and ended the call. It was only


    then Josiah let go of her. Staring at her swollen red eyes, Josiah sneered, “Why? Feeling wronged?


    You are dying to run away and reunite with that lover boy, aren’t you?” Meredith did not say anything


    and only sat dazedly on the floor. Josiah let go of her. Before leaving, he said, “See that? That is what


    you get for killing my son.”
