“What if you’re lying to me?” Josiali’s grandmother glared at him and added, “Who knows that you
might simply get a pregnant lady to trick me.” Josiah felt the corners of his lips twitching
He did not expext that it would be this hard to persuade and convince his grandmother.
“I didn’t.” Josiah shook his head helplessly.
The Shelby’s mansion was located in the rich people’s area and to reach outside the area, one would
need to bypass a long private route from the mansion.
There were no public transport services and one would need to walk if not by car.
Walking out of Shelby’s mansion, the rain started pouring down heavily.
She had no choice but to find a shelter to avoid the heavy rain.
Neither could she return to the mansion nor her rented house, Meredith could only go to the hospital.
She wanted to call for a cab through a cab service on her phone but soon realized that her phone had
run out of battery.
She waited for the rain to get smaller but instead, the rain only got heavier.
With an umbrella in her hand, Meredith looked up at the sky, pulled her coat tighter around her body,
and ran toward the opposite road.
The wind was howling strongly and with the ear-splitting thunder, Meredith could not help but feel
frightened.novelbinShe fastened her footsteps.
By the time she reached the public route, Meredith had missed the last bus, and because it was raining
heavily and she was at a secluded location, it was hard for her to hail a cab.
Not far from where Meredith was, Ysabelle noticed her who was walking alone in the rain and Ysabelle
pulled into a smirk.
Ysabelle heard that Josiah’s grandmother was in town and she thought of visiting her. She was
surprised to see Meredith.
Judging by how Meredith was out alone at this time, Ysabelle guessed that she might be kicked out of
the house by Josiah.
Ysabelle recalled the times when Josiah was cold and ruthless to Meredith and was more confident
that Meredith must be kicked out of the house by Josiah.
Ysabelle thought that she must seize this opportunity presented to her.
Pulling over her car at the side of the road, Ysabelle made a call. “Get me a few men and have them
come over to Loch Ness Road…”
After providing the street address and Meredith’s appearance to the person on the other end of the
phone, Ysabelle’s face contorted sinisterly. “Meredith Leighton, let’s see how you die
this time.”

She then made a U-turn and drove away. Meredith was getting tired after a while and she mustered her
courage to hitchhike but none of the cars were willing to pull over.A car finally pulled over. The man in the car whistled and teased, “Hey gorgeous, you want a ride, do
you? Well first take off your face mask and let me have a look at that pretty face of yours.”
Meredith turned around and walked away.
The man followed her and teased, “What’s wrong? Getting shy? What’s a pretty girl like you doing out
here alone in the rain and in such a secluded area? Come on now, let me see your face …holy f*ck!”
The man stammered as he stared at Meredith’s scarred face.
“You see it clearly now don’t you?” Meredith removed her face mask, revealing her scarred face.
Her plan worked perfectly and the man drove away immediately.
Meredith wiped away the water on her face. She did not know if it was her tears or the rain. Gripping
tightly onto her umbrella, Meredith decided to continue walking.
Turning around, Meredith nearly crashed into a group of men. Startled, Meredith immediately took a
few steps backward.
