Chapter 1053 Meredith pushed him away and hissed, “What do you think you‘re doing, Josiah? Can you please
stop adding trouble to my life?” “Edith, are you planning to keep blaming yourself?” Looking down at her, Josiah
went on, “Or do you think that they‘ll let you go if you blame yourself and say sorry?
“No. That will only affirm that you‘ve done something wrong and that will only fuel them to make you feel more
guilty until you won‘t be able to stand up tall.”
Meredith thought that Josiah was right but aside from admitting to her mistakes, what else could she possibly do?
Was she supposed to tell everyone about everything that went down between Charlie and her? And then was she
supposed to put all the blame on Charlie?
Still, with his arm around Meredith‘s shoulder, he then said to the group, “You guys are right that something‘s going
on between me and Meredith. But this has nothing to do with Meredith. I am the one who wouldn‘t leave her

“You‘re the one who wouldn‘t leave her alone?” One of the ladies looked at them in disbelief and went on, “You
clearly can have any type of woman that you want, why would you want someone like her?”
“You‘re right that I can have any woman that I want and it is exactly because of my ignorant thoughts that I‘ve
ended up being a heartless bastard. I‘ve hurt my wife and my daughter terribly that she had no choice but to leave
Jehovah City with our daughter.”
“I relate to the saying that you‘ll only cherish something once it‘s gone. I only realized how important Meredith is to
me when she was gone. That is why I‘ve tried everything that I could to get her back,” Josiah took a glance at
Meredith who was in his arms, and went on, “it was the same back then it will be the same in the future. I will not
give up until you come back to me.”
His latter sentence was meant for Meredith to hear.
Josiah had said this so many times to her and Meredith should have been used to this.
But Josiah said it in front of so many people and she got rather panicky. In a soft voice, she warned him, “Josiah, can
you please stop acting this way? Not only would you get me in trouble, but you‘ll also be bringing trouble onto
yourself too.
Indeed, the crowd started discussing amongst each other. “Jesus, why is he like that? Doesn‘t he know that one
should not covet your friend‘s wife? Plus, Mister Charlie is his cousin.”
“Exactly. He‘s no different than a homewrecker, isn‘t he?” “Does he think that just because he‘s rich he can do
anything he wants to?” Josiah, on the other hand, was unfazed by their words. He simply added, “It doesn‘t matter
how you see it, I just want to protect the people that I want to protect and I want the three of us to stay together as
a family. So, I will keep going until my goal is reached. I‘ll send you an invitation when I reach my goal.
“Also, even though Charlie is not with us anymore, his last wish was for Meredith to live a happy life. So, what you‘re
doing now will only make him turn in his grave.”

The crowd was rather uncomfortable seeing how Josiah was being domineering. And once again, they started
another heated round of discussion and gossiping. Josiah, on the other hand, had no intention of getting involved
with them. In the end, he said, “I‘ve said what I wanted to and I‘m sure you guys are done making a scene too. You
should now all pay for what you‘ve done.” He then said to Mister Wesley who was standing beside him, “Check the
CCTV recordings and make a report to the police. Make sure they pay for what they did.”
Chaos erupted in the crowd again. No one expected that they would be asked to pay for the damages.
Even Meredith felt a little bad. “Forget about it. Those are just samples anyway, we don‘t need them to pay for it.”
“We can‘t let them think that it‘s okay to do this. Who‘s to say that they won‘t do this again? And how would you
know if they won‘t just grab the products and take them without paying?” Looking at the group of people, Josiah
then scoffed, “What‘s wrong? Did you not think that you have to pay for the damages? Or...the person behind this
has no plans on helping you to pay for the damages?”
