Chapter 78

Miss, do you mind showing me where the first entrance is I’m a bit confused “The middle aged woman
asked as she pretended that she was lost ‘There, do you see that gray bullding, there..,” Upon seeing
Alayna was getting further away from the wheelchair, Ysabelle thought this was her chance to attack.
She started inching closer toward Nia Just when her hands were about to reach the handle of the
wheelchair, Ysabelle cursed in her heart, ‘Go to hell, you b*stard’s child!’

What do you think you’re doing?!” Alayna yelled the moment she saw Ysabelle who was about to push
Nia’s wheelchair. In a reflex, Alayna threw herself onto Ysabelle. Ysabelle was startled by Alayna and
before her hands could even touch the wheelchair, she was flung to the ground by Alayna. “Ahh!”
Ysabelle let out a painful shriek when her forehead hit the staircase and her sunglasses dropped to the
floor.

Feeling a gush of warm liquid dripping across the side of her face, Ysabelle reached out her hands to
feel them and soon realized that her hands were covered in blood.

As an actress, Ysabelle could not afford to scar her face. Almost immediately, she started shouting and
wailing, “Blood! There’s blood!”

Alayna, who also fell onto the ground, finally came back to her senses.

As soon as she got a clearer look at Ysabelle, Alayna was startled. “Ysabelle? Is that you?”

Upon realizing that her plan had failed, Ysabelle started accusing Alayna instead. “Alayna Sawyer!
How dare you push me! My precious face… I want to call the cops!”

If it was someone else, Alayna would have guessed that she most probably had misunderstood their
intention in getting close to Nia.



But it was Ysabelle. And because it was Ysabelle that Alayna was confident that Ysabelle was
scheming something evil toward Nia.

Ysabelle must have guessed Nia’s identity and was trying to harm Nia.

If Nia was really pushed off the staircase, she would have died on the spot. Alayna was relieved that
she had reacted quickly.

Ysabelle was worried that her evil scheme would be exposed but at the same time, she was worried
about the scar on her face too. And because of this, her resentment toward Nia festered even more.

Wailing and causing a scene, Ysabelle asked the crowd to help her call the cops.

Upon receiving a phone call from the police informing her that her mother had attacked someone,
Meredith thought she was hearing things.

Her mother had always been gentle and soft, and not the type to pick a fight. It was impossible that she
would attack someone.

Under the supervision of the bodyguards, Meredith arrived at the police station.

At the sight of her mother that looked all worried, Meredith rushed up to her and hugged her. “Mom,
why do you look so pale? What on earth has happened?”

Patting Alayna’s shoulder, Meredith comforted her, “Calm down now. It’s okay.”

Alayna reached out her trembling hands and pointed at Ysabelle. “Edith, it’s her. She wanted to harm
Nia. I accidentally injured her when I tried to stop her.”

Following Alayna’s fingers, Meredith saw a woman dressed in a sexy outfit.

Even though the woman’s head was bandaged, Meredith was able to recognize her right away.



Meredith was stunned.

She had yet to deal with Josiah and Ysabelle decided to show up to harm her daughter. Especially
when Ysabelle shot her a provoking glance, Meredith had a bad feeling.



Ysabelle had shown up for a reason. Turning around to face the policemen, Ysabelle went back to
being angry and wronged. “Sir, this old lady is my enemy and that is why she pushed me off the stairs. I
would have died if I didn’t react quick enough.”

She then walked to a corner and whined, “Josiah, what do I do… do you think it’ll leave a scar on my
face? But I still have several scenes to shoot for the movie…” At the mention of Josiah’s name,
Meredith froze on the spot.

Iuuent that he was het

durabout that Isabelle und him were already the close to each other

ned out that Yubelle’s plan had worked out perfectly in her favor





She hacked a bitter smile. Looking at how Ysabelle was Iranin intimately in sosial’s tim she said,
“Mister Josial, il you don’t mind me using your words don’t you think that this scene is oddly familiar.”

Back then, Ysabelle had put on a similar show to trick him and this incident was no different Glancing
at her, Josiah tugged at the corners of his lips. “So you mean to say that Ysabelle wants to kill your
daughter? But her plan failed and she hurt herself in the face?” “I caught her red-handed just in time. If
I hadn’t pushed her away in time, she would have pushed Nia off the stairs!” Alayna was quivering in
anger. Ysabelle retorted, “Alayna Sawyer, do you think I’m that dumb to harm that b*stard’s child? What
is in it for me anyway if the child is dead?”

“Because…”

Alayna was about to argue back but Meredith stopped her.

“Mom, leave it.” Meredith shook her head slightly.

She knew, of course, what her mother wanted to say. But Josiah had clearly warned her that if she
mentioned once more that Nia was his daughter, he would kill Nia right away.

He even added that even if Nia was really his daughter, he would not accept her.

If that was the case, there was no use in insisting that Nia was his child.

Taking a deep breath, Meredith said to Ysabelle, “Just take it as my mom hurt you accidentally. Tell me
what you want and I’ll try my best to do what you ask.”

“An accident? If it was indeed an accident, there is no way that I’d be hurt like this! This is an
aggravated assault!” Ysabelle seethed furiously, “Don’t you know my face is my asset? How am I
supposed to stay in the entertainment industry looking like this?” “Tell me then, how much money do
you need then?” Meredith asked patiently. “You actually think that she needs money?” It was Josiah



who was asking. Meredith met his cold and piercing gaze. It was already difficult enough to deal with
Ysabelle, let alone dealing with Josiah as well. Meredith knew better that she would not be able to get
out of this mess that easily.

Seeing how Josiah was taking her side, Ysabelle leaned in closer to him and shot a provoking look at
Meredith.

“Exactly, I don’t need your money,” replied Ysabelle, “I’ve made it clear that I won’t settle for
reconciliation and I’ll bring this up to the court. I want her to be jailed!” Meredith felt her chest tighten.

Ysabelle wanted to send her mother to jail?

Even if Alayna would be able to stand the harsh conditions in the jail, who was supposed to take care
of Nia? Nia was terribly sick and she had to be constantly looked after. “No!” Meredith shook her head
frantically and added, “I know you don’t need the money but my mom is too old to go to jail. Please
forgive her, Ysabelle. Please let me compensate you in other ways.”
