Chapter 186Chapter 186
Meredith felt a burning pain spreading across her cheeks. Covering her face, Meredith glanced at
Ysabelle and scoffed, “What’s shame? Didn’t I already throw that away years ago?” “You’re impossible,
Meredith Leighton!” Inwardly, Ysabelle was pleased to see Meredith in this manner, but she did not
show it on her face. “It is no wonder you’d want someone like Yoel and even give birth to his child!
You’ve put the Leightons to shame!”
Her daughter… At the mention of Nia, Meredith’s eyes reddened. Of course, Meredith desperately
wanted to keep her last shred of dignity. .
If it was not for Nia, she would not have returned just to be humiliated.
Even though the chances were slim, it was the only way out for Nia if Meredith would be able to give
birth to another child of Josiah’s.
Ysabelle knew well that Yoel was a trigger to Josiah. It was why she chose to bring up the name of Yoel
at this moment.
She would never allow Meredith to stay by Josiah’s side.
Indeed, the light in Josiah’s eyes dimmed at the mention of Yoel.
Glaring at Meredith, he seethed, “Leave!” Meredith replied, “Josiah Shelby, I initially planned to get help
from Liam but I choose to come to you in the end. And do you want to know why? It’s because I know
that if I sell myself to Liam, you wouldn’t be able to take it.”
Josiah was wordless with rage.
Josiah was annoyed that Meredith knew him too well and she was using that to threaten him.“Hence, I am hoping that you would be more generous and not put your best friend in a difficult
situation.” Meredith then gave him a nod, turned around, and was about to walk away. But when she
passed by Josiah, her wrist was grabbed by him.
The moment his fingers wrapped around her wrist, Meredith knew that her
provocation had worked.
She secretly tugged at the corners of her lips. Looking at him, she asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not
willing to share me with your best friend?” “Meredith Leighton!” Josiah hissed, “Let’s see how low you
can stoop. Get into the house!”
He then let go of his grip around her wrist and walked into the house. Ysabelle followed him inside but
she came to a stop in front of Meredith and threatened, “Meredith Leighton, I will make sure your life
now is worse than it was three years ago if you dare to take Josiah away from me.” Meredith flashed a
smile at her. “Sorry but my mom is dead.” “But your daughter is still alive.” “She’s dying too.”
“You…” Ysabelle was rendered speechless.
Was Meredith implying that she did not have any more leverages to use against her?
At the sight of Meredith walking into the mansion, anger stirred within Ysabelle.
The first thing that Meredith did when she returned to the mansion was take a nice shower and put on a
provocative nightgown before showing up in front of Josiah. Josiah was in the middle of working in his
study. At the sight of Meredith, he could not help but narrow his eyes.
novelbin“If there’s nothing else then let’s talk another day.” Getting off the phone, Josiah stared at her and
asked, “What are you trying to do, Meredith?”Meredith had never worn such provocative nightwear even when they first got married. Perhaps, in her
own words, only women who were not confident with themselves would seduce men using this way.
