Chapter 933
Suddenly, Josiah reached his hand out to grab Meredith’s arm, “Edith.”
Meredith looked down to look at Josiah’s hand with an unfriendly look. Josiah released his hand with instinct and said softly, “It’s almost the New Year. Why don’t you spend it together with Nia?”
Meredith was stunned. ‘Oh, that’s right. It’s almost the New Year. This year will be over soon and Nia will be a year older.
Last year, she celebrated the New Year together with Nia and Charlie but it was not going to happen this year. She took a deep breath with disappointment and said, “I’ll let you know before that day.”
“Alright. Just let me know if you are in any trouble. I will settle it for you,” Josiah offered.
“You don’t have to.” Meredith opened the door to get off from the car. She closed the door but Josiah did not leave. Thus, she bent down a little and knocked at the window, “Please leave now. I don’t want anyone to see it and gossip about us.”
Josiah leaned back on the seat and lit up a cigarette casually, “I want to have a cigarette to freshen my mind. You can go in first.”
Anyone who was there could tell that Josiah only wanted to see Meredith off and entered the lift. Thus, Meredith decided to ignore her and entered the building. When she was about to enter the lift, a few men appeared and pushed her against the wall. She was in shock and asked while she struggled, “Who are all of you? What are you trying to do?”.
Despite being worried about Charlie’s wounds, Meredith knew this woman was not about to talk nicely with her when she saw the look on the woman’s face. She asked in return, “Since you do not care if I care about Charlie’s wounds or not, why did you come all the way to tell me this? So I’ll go back to look at Charlie?”
Suddenly, she strongly suspected whether this woman was telling the truth or not. She had never seen Charlie hurting himself before. It was possible that they were using this as an excuse to trick her back to the mansion.
However, she quickly denied the possibility. She remembered how she accidentally touched Charlie’s
thigh a few times when she helped him to get on the bed. Charlie always looked like he was in agony when that happened. Every time she asked him what happened, he would say it was nothing and refused to let her check his thigh. He also never let her assist him to have a shower.
