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.
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 glared 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 glanced at the door and sure enough, he saw the corner of Leah’s clothes. He could only grit his teeth and let Meredith go.
