Chapter 558
Meredith started to get frustrated.
She was worried that the longer they stalled, the more dangerous it was for Josiah. She would be devastated if she
could no longer see Nia. Trying to hold herself back from losing her temper, Meredith said, “Miss Quinley, do you
think that the Shelbys would just sit back and do nothing? Mister Yoseph is just waiting downstairs and they would
find out right away that it was you who got me the chicken soup. And most importantly, you know that Josiah is
biased toward me. If he manages to get over this hurdle, who do you think he will choose to believe? Me or you?”
Though Meredith knew deep down that Josiah was only biased toward her because he needed to use her.
For the sake of taunting Quinley, she had to put on a show that she was loved and adored by Josiah.
“Miss Quinley, think about what happened to Maeve and her family. I believe that you’d know what’s the right thing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto do,” Meredith added.
At the mention of Maeve, Quinley wavered a little.
Blood was drained from her face but she still tried to remain in her composure. “But even if I do tell you the name
of the poison and Josiah is saved, there is no way that he’d let me go.”
“Right now, there is only one person who knows that you’ve poisoned the soup, and that is me As long as you’re
willing to tell me the name, I’ll take the blame for you.”
“You? Is it even possible?”.
“Why not? It’s not like I’m scared of Josiah,” Meredith scoffed and added, “The last time when I attempted to kill
him, I aimed the knife right at his heart. He would have died that day is he wasn’t that lucky.”
Meredith was simply trying to convince Quinley that she could take the blame for her but her words ended up
sounding like she was bragging to Quinley instead
But for the sake of her family, Quinley clenched her teeth tightly and could only hold herself back
Suddenly, the look on Quinley’s face changed and she was crying while walking toward Meredith
“Meredith,” She sobbed, “it is because I can’t bring myself to see you in such torment anymore and that is why I
came up with such a solution to help free you. I am so sorry. I should have discussed it beforehand inl’d talked to
you beforehand, you wouldn’t have ended up giving the soup to Josiah
“Meredith, Josiah would definitely believe your words because he loves you a lot You must help me.”
Quinley’s excuse was perfect. If Meredith did not know who Quinley really was, Meredith would have been moved
by her words.
But right now, Meredith was in a rush and she desperately wanted to slap Quinley across the
face and have her stop talking
But she grabbed Quinley’s hands in hers and said, “Okay, I will help you. But hurry up and tell me the name of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpoison. If anything happens to Josiah, I might not even be able to save you,
Quinley sniffled, “Meredith, are you really going to help me?” “Yes, I am a person of my word. And who knows, I
might need your help in the future.”
Seeing how Quinley was still hesitant, Meredith could not hold back anymore and shouted,” Miss Quinley, it’s either
you tell me the name of the poison now, if not, you can crawl home and tell your parents to plan your route of
escape!” Quinley was startled by her sudden shout and stammered, “…I’ll send the details to your phone.”
Quivering in fear, Quinley reached for her phone and started typing. Soon, Meredith’s phone rang. She checked the
message and immediately sent the message to Yoseph. After the message was sent, she closed her eyes and
secretly hoped that Josiah would live. He had to live!
At the resting area in the hospital.
Yoseph passed a cup of water to Meredith. Seeing how Meredith’s hands were clasped tightly together out of
anxiousness, he comforted her, “Don’t worry, Sir will be okay.” Meredith simply nodded softly.
