Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052 Right before the bottle reached her, Josiah pulled Meredith into his arms.

With a loud thump, the bottle landed on Josiah‘s forehead and blood started running down his face. Seeing how she

had got the wrong person and that Josiah was hurt instead, the lady was panic–stricken. Meredith only slowly came

back to her senses when she noticed the blood that was dripping on the back of her hands. Startled, she

immediately looked up at Josiah. “Josiah, you...” Aghast, Meredith stared blankly at his forehead which was bleeding

non–stop. Did he save her from being hit by the perfume bottle? “What are you doing? Who asked you to step in?”

In a panic, the first thing that came out of Meredith‘s mouth was to scold Josiah. Josiah, on the other hand, looked

as if he could not feel any pain and simply furrowed his brows a little. He then reached for a bunch of napkins on

the desk and wiped away the blood. Mister Wesley quickly came over. “Sir, it looks like a pretty deep cut. We should

get you to the hospital right away.” Josiah ignored him and turned to glare coldly at the group of people who were

causing a scene.

The crowd flinched at his cold glare.

“Are you guys done?” Still, staring at them, he hissed, “Do you think that you‘re doing something noble? Using

justice as an excuse to smash someone else‘s counter and to break other people‘s product?”

Josiah was holding onto Meredith‘s shoulders tightly and anyone could see how important Meredith was to him.

And on his wrist was the seashells bracelet that was similar to the one that was on Meredith‘s wrist.

And this was already enough to provoke the group of people.

The leader of the group said to Josiah, “Mister Josiah, are you even reflecting on the things that you‘ve done? Mister

Charlie is after all your cousin brother, and do you think what you‘re doing right now is appropriate? Don‘t you think

you‘re too cruel?”

Meredith wanted to say something but Josiah pressed down lightly on her shoulder.

Then, Josiah replied, “Well, can you tell me what relationship you have with Mister Charlie? And how much do you

even know about the things that the three of us went through? I‘m sure neither of you knows how much Meredith

has sacrificed for Mister Charlie, am I right?” “All we know is that Mister Charlie passed away because his wife keeps

getting involved with you.” “Oh really? Well, let me tell you something. Mister Charlie died because he protected

Meredith,” Josiah went on coldly, “I also want to tell you that you‘re bullying the woman that Charlie had used his

life to protect. If Charlie knows about this, I‘m sure he‘ll be heartbroken and aggrieved, and he would throw every

single one of you in jail.”

“And you,” Josiah pointed at the leader and said, “should I bring this to the station to check if you‘re really doing it

for Charlie‘s sake or whether you‘re being paid to do this? Should we get to the bottom of this?” Blood was

immediately drained from the woman‘s face.

It was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

In the meantime, Meredith spoke up, “I understand what you‘re feeling and I do accept your criticisms, I...”

“Edith, you didn‘t do anything wrong.” Josiah cut her off and pulled her closer toward him.
