Chapter 52

“Who are you? What are you doing?” Meredith frantically struggled.

When the lobby manager saw someone causing chaos, he immediately brought men over and
surrounded them. He asked angrily, “Where are you guys from! Are you here to cause trouble?!

The manager and his crew might outnumber. the two men, but all the two men needed to say was, “Sir,
are you sure you want to steal the Luna Club’s staff?” One sentence was all it took for the manager’s
expressions to change. The Luna Club was bought over by Mister Josiah of the Shelby Group. This
was a piece of news that had been spread around like wildfire for the past few days. The lobby
manager naturally would have heard about it.

Who would dare go up against Josiah Shelby? Unless they did not want to live anymore.

“She’s…from the Luna Club?” The lobby manager stuttered.

“Yes. She is bound by a contract.”

Meredith’s expressions changed. She immediately said, “Mister Lowe, don’t listen to them. I have
already quit the Luna Club.” Even if she had already quit the Luna Club, as long as she was someone
that Josiah Shelby wanted, Mister Lowe would not allow her to stay. He even waved at the bodyguards
hurriedly. “Take her away quickly, please!” Meredith was speechless. She never thought that Mister
Lowe would be such a coward.

Sure enough, everyone was afraid of Josiah.

Half an hour later, Meredith was thrown to the ground in front of Josiah’s feet. Just by looking at his
shiny leather shoes, Meredith’s heart skipped a beat. She was nervous and terrified.



Josiah was really forcing her to death!

“Meredith Leighton, you were the one who smelled the 82 Lafete. You were also the one who
confirmed the price. Why? Are you trying to run away from debt?”

Meredith did not dare to lift her head. She did not dare to look at him. She did not even dare to mention
that he was the one that smashed that bottle of Lafete.

She merely pleaded lowly, “Mister Josiah, my daughter is sick. I really need the money.”

She still owed Nia’s medical fees. How was she going to earn that much money to pay him back!

Other than running away, she could not think of anything else.

“You mean that bastard child of yours? Is her life worth as much as my wine?” Meredith’s heart
constricted. She looked up at him with teary eyes. “Josiah, aren’t you afraid of retribution when saying
such things?”

Josiah chuckled. He raised his eyebrow nonchalantly. “Will I?” “Even if you don’t believe that she is
your daughter, even if she is just a stranger to you, you shouldn’t say such things, right?” Josiah leaned
forward and squeezed Meredith’s chin, lifting it up.

“Meredith. Let me be frank. If she was someone you brought back from the orphanage, perhaps I might
take a little pity or her. It’s too bad, she’s your child. As long as it’s your child, it won’t be a pity even if
she dies.

Meredith was instantly disappointed. To think that she even thought of disregarding her ego and pride,
taking Nia to see Josiah, perhaps he might pay for her treatment, seeing that she was his daughter. At
that moment, it looked like…



Tears streamed down her face. Meredith choked and asked, “Josiah, even if Nia was your biological
daughter, you still wouldn’t want her?”

“I won’t want her!” Josiah gritted his teeth.

This woman was planning on using tears to get his pity, just like back then. She cried and apologized
yet on the other hand was a knife stabbing into his heart.

Her crocodile tears were even scarier than the knife!

A knock suddenly came from the door and Miss Josie entered.

She swept a glance at Meredith on the floor and ignored her. She deeply apologized to Josiah, Mister
Josiah, I’m very sorry. I didn’t clear things up with Merelyn regarding the contract.
