Chapter 297


    However, other than asking Meredith for help, what other choice did Margot have? She had no other


    choice. “Even if we have to prostrate and bow our heads to her, we have to bear it. After all, it is a small


    issue if thepany goes, but we can’t have the family all in prison!”


    “Mom, I’m not going!”


    “Ysabelle! Don’t think too far away, just think about Miss Leah,” Margot reminded Ysabelle,” murder


    itself would give you a life sentence. Previously, Josiah did not investigate it because he was


    determined that it was Meredith who did it, he wanted to keep Meredith alive. Right now, if he were to


    investigate it again, he would find out everything about what you did. You’ll be sentenced to death. Do


    you understand?”


    Death sentence,


    Ysabelle was so frightened she was at a loss for words.


    Liam poured a full ss of wine and pushed the ss to Josiah.


    Josiah did not drink. He only watched the video repeatedly on his phone. The video was of the event


    held at the mall previously, Meredith brought Nia up on stage to y the piano. He got the video from


    the owner of the child’s clothing shop. In the video, although Nia was weak, she looked pretty and


    confident. Her piano ying was good too.


    He remembered back then, his grandmother praised Nia and wanted to bring her home. It was a pity


    that he was blinded by his enemies. He did not give in to his grandmother’s request.


    “What’s gone is gone. What use is there regretting?” Liam hinted at the ss of wine on the table with


    his chin. He said, “Drink up. I purposely left my date toe and get drunk with you. Don’t be such a


    party pooper.” Liam was originally attending another event that night, but he received Alfred’s phone


    call saying that Josiah has not had any food or sleep for the past few days. He hoped that Liam could


    come to talk some sense into Josiah.


    Liam initially wanted to ignore Josiah for another few more days, but he could not bear to do it, so he


    came over.


    “I have long warned you that you would regret it one day. Look at it. It didn’t take long for it toe


    true.” Although Liam pitied Nia and Meredith, he could not find it in his heart to pity his friend.


    “Drink up. You won’t feel so bad once you’re drunk,” Liam urged once again. Josiah finally put his


    phone down and downed the wine in his ss.


    Liam smiled and poured him another ss. “Continue.”


    By the third ss, Liam looked at him. “Josiah, when you hit me thest time, do you regret it?


    Josiah red at him with reddened eyes. He said with gritted teeth, “Liam, you look happy?”


    “Yes, I am, but not because Nia is dead and Meredith has gone mad, but because I get to see you


    upset and remorseful, beating yourself up.” Liam was direct. “Truth be told, if Meredith was my sister, I


    would have beaten you up to death.” Liam pushed the fourth ss toward Josiah. “Josiah, you bullied


    her because she did not have any family support, but if she had support from her family, would you


    dare to treat her that way?”


    osiah threw the empty ss in his hand on the floor. “Then, why didn’t you marry her back hen? If you


    married her, I wouldn’t dare to touch her, right?”


    iam was stunned for a while. He lowered his head and looked at the floor of ss shards.” osiah, have


    you gone mad? Are you ming me now?”


    “It’s just tooth, I’ll pay you back


    It was dust a tooth How could


    bepared to his daughter’s life?


    yvit back


    Liam suddenly raised his list and threw a punch at Josian’s face


    lustab inimediately fell to the ground full of ss shards


    Heinuneiately felt the ss shards pictliouph his skin as he hissed out in pain Me finally felt the pain


    of beingut by ss just like Meredith,


    Josiahd on the ground in a daze, letting blood ooze out from his body, dyeing his shirt red. The


    scene that was on his mind was when Meredith was being thrown on the floor full of ss shards


    Back then, she was not wearing any clothes. The ss shards immediately pierced her skin. It was


    much worse than what he experienced at that moment, she must have been in much more pain than


    he was now


    Liam initially wanted to beat Josiah up to feel better, but he did not expect that Josiah wouldnd on the


    ss shards. He was rather awkward at that moment.


    Even Alfred, who was standing nearby, could not help but reprimand, “Mister Liam. I asked you here to


    talk to Mister Josial?, why did you beat him up?”


    “L..had a slip-up,” Liam said. He looked at Josiah and said, “How are you feeling? Do you feel better?


    Can you get up?” Seeing how Josiah was just lying on the ground not moving, Alfred shook his head


    and went to get the doctor


    Liam reached his hand out and said, “Don’t y dead. Get up and drink.”

    Josiah sat up on the ground. He picked up the other empty wine ss from the table and smashed it


    on the ground. He red at Liam and said, “Punch me again. Toward the ss shards.”


    “Don’t be crazy. I’m asking you to get up and drink, not fight.”


    “Shut up and do it!” Josiah waved a punch at Liam, provoking him.


    Liam unexpectedly received a punch. He did not react in time. He was so frightened helid behind the


    sofa.


    “Josiah, you …have you gone mad like Meredith?” Liam looked at Josial in fear. After all, his back was


    still covered in ss shards. It was still bleeding:


    Josiah stepped on the sofa and approached Liam. He yelled, “Hit me! I’m asking you to hit me!


    Liam was scared hall to death. He avoided Josial while frantically waving his hand. “No, Josiah, stop it.


    It’s pointless. Just because you harm yoursell, Nia wouldn’t…”


    Josiah went up to Liam and threw a punch, provoking him again,


    Liam continued to swerve. “You’re nuts! Josial, you’ve gone nuts!” Finally, the doctor and Alfred rushed


    over. Liam sighed in relief. The three of them pinned Josiah down on the sofa together.


    When the doctor saw the terrifying sights of ss shards on his back, he gasped and said, “. Mister


    Josial?, bear the pain. I’ll help you take the ss out.” Josiah was pinned on the sofa. He struggled for


    a while before stopping. In the end, he calmed down.


    The doctor finally took all the ss shards out of his back. He asked in concern, “Does it hurt?”


    “Yes.” Josiah nodded with reddened eyes.


    It hurt excruciatingly when the ss shards pierced him. He never would have thought that it would be


    much more painful when it was pulled out. It was so painful he was sweating cold sweat.


    He could not have imagined how Meredith pulled out all the ss shards. Was she previously also in


    so much pain, trembling like he was? It must have been so.
