Chapter 233 “Get over here and eat;” Josiah ordered and walked toward the dining hall. Meredith stood still.
Lily walked over to her and whispered, “Miss Meredith, hurry up and go eat. You don’t want Sir to get unhappy.”
Meredith then walked toward the dining hall.
The dining table was filled with dishes and some of the dishes were Meredith’s favorite.
Lily said to her, “I heard that Miss Meredith is pregnant so I’ve prepared several dishes that would be to your liking.”
“Thank you, Miss Lily,” Meredith sat down opposite Josiah.
“Please enjoy your meal and let me know if you need me,” Lily then walked away.
Meredith looked at the delicious and scrumptious dishes on the table then took a glimpse at Josiah who had already
started eating. She hesitated for a while before finally eating.

Looking at how Meredith was being careful, Josiah arched his brow and asked, “Why? Are you worried that I’d
poison you?”
Meredith looked into his eyes and mocked, “You’re not the type to love your own children and I don’t understand
why you’re insisting that I stay here with you. I’d rather be more careful.”
There was a flicker across his eyes as Josiah’s gaze clouded.
“You think that I’d poison you?”
“Why do you look surprised?”
“Meredith Leighton,” Josiahs seethed, “let me tell you something. Even if I were to poison you, I won’t do it behind
your back.”
Meredith thought that Josiah was actually right.
Even the last time, Josiah had forced her to take the pills to abort her baby in the open.
Hence, Meredith started eating.
Putting another piece of meatball into her plate, Josiah scoffed, “Giving up this easily? I thought you’d insist on not
eating.”
Meredith picked up the meatball that Josiah passed to her, looked into his eyes, and replied,” Josiah Shelby, I will still
send the video to your grandmother if my baby is gone, and I’m sure your grandmother would seek justice for me.”
“Are you threatening me?” “It’s a gentle reminder, not a threat.” She then took a bite of the meatball. It was the
first time that Josiah was being threatened by a lady. His gaze grew colder and he soon lost his appetite.

She had to eat more to take care of her baby.
After finishing her meal, Meredith realized that Josiah was still staring at her coldly. She then mustered up her
courage and said, “Sir, there’s something that I wish to discuss with you.”
“What is there for us to discuss when you’re being this relentless?” Josiah mocked.
“I….”
“And of course, no matter what you want to say or ask, I will not agree to any of them,” Josiah did not even give her
the chance to say anything and went on, “Meredith Leighton, there is only one way for you to leave this place, and
that is to take the abortion pills.”
Meredith let out a sigh as she watched Josiah walk away. She wanted to discuss with Josiah to allow her to visit Nia
at the hospital, but it seemed as if Josiah had read her mind and proceeded to extinguish her last flame of hope. In
the end, she was forced to stay at Shelby’s mansion. Just when she was about to return to the storage room, she
was stopped by Miss Lily. “Miss Meredith, you’re pregnant now. How could you still be staying in the storage room?
You should sleep in the guest room on the second floor.”
