Chapter 200 When night came, Josiah was tossing back and forth in his bed. As usual, he found it hard to sleep.
Sitting up on his bed, he reached for the intercom and was about to call someone when he noticed that it was
already past two-midnight.
Lily and Alfred should already be asleep at this time.
He could only go downstairs to fetch himself a glass of water.
His gaze stopped at the door of the storage room on the first floor. Josiah recalled the night when Meredith gave
him a massage and how he was able to sleep soundly until the next morning without waking up in between. He then
strode toward the storage room. There were a lot of chores that Meredith had to do. She only managed to finish
everything by twelve at night. After taking a shower, she headed right to bed.

Seeing how Meredith was sleeping soundly, Josiah felt a fresh swell of rage rising in him.
He thought, ‘How is it that she gets to sleep so soundly when I have to be in this torture every night?’ Josiah had
always believed that it was Meredith who caused him to be diagnosed with insomnia. It happened after that year
when she was found cheating on him with Yoel. Since then, he had never gotten a good night’s sleep.
Hence, Josiah was furious that Meredith was able to sleep soundly even on the bed that was as hard as a rock.
“Get up!” He bellowed as he took big strides toward her bed and dragged her off it.
With a loud thump, Meredith fell onto the floor.
She was in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
She slowly came back to her senses at the sight of the pair of long legs in front of
her.
Josiah had always been the source of her pain and suffering all these years, and of course, this was no exception
too.
Meredith stayed cowering on the floor for a while before finally lifting up her head to stare at him. Glaring at him
furiously, she seethed, “Josiah Shelby, what are you doing in the middle of the night?” Josiah crouched down in front
of her and wrapped his hand over her neck.” Meredith Leighton, how could you sleep so soundly knowing all the
dirty and evil deeds that you’ve done? You’re indeed something else, aren’t you?” Inwardly, Meredith seethed, ‘It’s
exactly because I didn’t do anything wrong and that is why I can sleep soundly. I bet you couldn’t sleep well because
you’ve done a lot of bad things.’ Meredith did not dare to argue and kept her thoughts to herself as she did not
want to provoke Josiah. She still needed him to save Nia. Getting herself up from the floor, Meredith asked patiently,
“May I know how I can help you at this time of the night? Are you hungry? Or thirsty?” “I want you to give me a
massage,” Josiah responded. Meredith was startled but soon felt helpless. “Well, aren’t you worried that I’ll use this

glass of water.” After Josiah left, Meredith shook her head gently, attempting to get rid of her drowsiness before
leaving her room.
She first went to get a glass of water for Josiah. After drinking the water, Josiah then lay on the bed. “Don’t you dare
think of removing my clothes, and don’t place your hands at places that you shouldn’t touch.”
Josiah did not want to be aroused by her to the point that he needed to drink ice water to cool himself down.
“Yes, Sir.” Meredith climbed onto the bed and started massaging him. With his shirt on, Josiah could barely feel
Meredith’s strength. He then reminded her coldly, “Harder.” Not getting any response from her, Josiah turned
around to look at her to notice that she was half asleep and could not even keep her eyes open.
Meredith was indeed feeling really sleepy and she felt as if she was sleepwalking. Josiah pinched her wrist with
force, jolting Meredith back to her senses. “Ouch…”
