The white knife shimmered coldly. Meredith was so scared she closed her eyes.
She initially thought that she was finished for sure. She never thought that she suddenly felt a load get off her body. The knife fell
to the ground with a clang.
Then, a man's painful wails could be heart.
Meredith opened her eyes in doubt. When she saw the figure in front of her, she was instantly elated.
It was Josiah!
How was he here? It was such a secluded and tough place to locate. How did he manage to come there?
She could not bother with those questions at that moment, because Josiah was in danger!
Although Josiah looked like he could fight much better than the other man, the other man has a knife. Within a few rounds, his
arm has been slashed.
"Stop fighting! Stop!" Meredith yelled anxiously.
Josiah yelled at her, "Meredith, leave first!"
How could Meredith possibly leave Josiah with a perp who has a knife in his hand? Under desperation,
she picked up a chair and threw it at that man.
The man's body stiffened when the chair hit him.
Josiah took the chance to kick that man to the ground. He grabbed Meredith's hand and dashed for the
door.Meredith looked back while running. "Are we just going to let them off the hook like that?"
"Don't worry, there will be people here soon to deal with them."
Josiah opened the car door and let Meredith get in the car.
Meredith got in the car and took his phone to call the police, but he stopped her.
"What is it?" Meredith was confused.
Josiah paused for a while. "I'll deal with them. No need to call the police."
Meredith paused for a while. She asked in confusion, "Are you worried that Mrs. Shelby will be
arrested?"
"Mother..." Josiah thought about the body checkup report. He nodded, "she won't, but Ivy might."
If Mrs. Shelby had late-stage cancer, she would not have to worry about being arrested, because she
could be put on medical bail, but Ivy, who was forced by her, might not be able to get bail.
After Josiah drove for a while, he stopped the car. He grabbed her by the shoulders and sized her up.
"Edith, did they do anything to you? Did they hit you? Are you hurt?"
Meredith looked at him looking worried. She comforted him, " Don't worry. I'm fine."
"How could you be fine? I saw the video." At the thought of the video, Josiah wanted to return to kill the
two men.
"The video was just an act for you. After that, they let me go."
"Is that so?""Yes," Meredith chuckled and said, "didn't you see another man lying on the floor in the storage room? I did that to him."
Josiah looked at the smile on her face. He was rather speechless. " And you're smug about it."
He was worried to death.
"Anyway, don't worry. I'm fine." Meredith opened her arms at him. "See, not a scratch."
Josiah measured her up once more. He was only relieved after he made sure he was fine.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." After relief, came the guilt. "I fell asleep without waiting for you to return last night. I should have
waited up for you."
"It's not your fault."
"You were kidnapped because of me. It is my fault." Josiah hugged her in his arms sympathetically. "You must have been scared
half to death last night."
