Chapter 563

Chapter 563 “He’s not me, is he? So how would he know whose cooking I’d prefer?” Josiah glanced indifferently at

her and said, “What if I insist on having what you prepare?”

Meredith was wordless with rage.

Indeed, Josiah threw away his good – husband persona the moment he got hold of her weakness.

But what could she do? She was at his mercy. “If you want me to cook, I will do it the next time,” Meredith replied,

holding back her frustration

“I want to eat it now.”

Meredith continued to hold back her anger. “Okay, I’ll go make it now.”

She started to clear the table.

Staring at her side profile, Josiah asked, “Meredith Leighton, did you not hesitate at all when you decided to poison

me?”

Meredith clearly looked gentle and soft, but she surprised him every time with her ruthlessness when she tried to

take his life.

After all that had happened, Josiah did not dare question how cruel or how ruthless she could

be.

Meredith, who was in the middle of clearing the table, froze and asked instead, “Why would you ask when you

already know the answer?

“If it’s not because of Nia, I wouldn’t have stayed here to take care of you, and neither would I have allowed you to

order me around.”

“Aren’t you worried that your honesty might upset me?”

Meredith simply sneered, “I mean, it’s not like you’d believe me if I say that I willingly chose to stay here to take

care of you, right? You would only think of me as pretentious and full of lies.”

Josiah was actually wordless.

He was only trying to get her to say something nice but it seemed like it was impossible.

He would rather hear her lying than her saying that she was only doing all this as a deal.

“Give me a moment, Sir. I’ll go prepare your meal,” Meredith said in a flat tone, holding the tray of dishes in her

hands, and making her way out the door.

Gritting his teeth tightly, Josiah grabbed the fruit tray on the table and aimed at Meredith. The fruit tray landed right

next to her feet.



Meredith was startled and she came to a halt.

Behind her was Josiah fuming, “Meredith Leighton! I don’t want to see that ice-cold face of yours! If you don’t want

to be here, you can just get lost!”

Meredith turned around, stared right at him, and said, “If that’s the case, you’re not going to bring me to see Nia,

are you?” “Stop bringing Nia into everything. There isn’t any Nia! Even if there is, I will not give her to

you!”

With a loud clang, the tray of dishes dropped onto the ground. “What are you talking about, Josiah Shelby?!”

Meredith rushed toward Josiah, grabbed him by his collar, and yelled, “What do you mean that there’s no Nia?

Didn’t you say that Nia is still alive? And that she’s being treated overseas? Or was this all just a lie?” Could it be

that everything was a lie? Could it be that Yoseph came up with this lie just to get her to spill out the name of the

poison that she used?

Could it be that Josiah came up with this lie just to make her stay by his side?

The more that Meredith thought about it, the more terrified she got. Did she have to extinguish the flame of hope

that was just rekindled? She would never be able to accept it if they were really lying to her. Josiah did not expect to

see Meredith reacting this way. He suddenly could not bring himself to taunt her anymore. But at the thought of

how she was cruel and cold to him, he replied, “No one is lying to you. But if you choose to stay by my side with this

attitude, you could just assume that we’re lying to you.” “What…what do you mean?” “It means, if Nia wakes up to

find that her dad and mom aren’t on good terms, I’d rather her not reconcile with you.”
