Chapter 663 “Josiah Shelby, I thought we agreed to put on a show when Nia is around but apart from that, we will
stay out of each other’s businesses? And that we refrain from asking about each other’s life and work.” “Not only in
front of Nia, but in the eyes of the public too,” Josiah tilted his head to look at her before adding, “for the sake of
Nia’s wellbeing.” “Are you sure it’s for Nia?”
“If not?”
“Are you sure it’s not for your company?” “If you insist on thinking that way, fine. But you got one thing wrong. The
Shelby Group also belongs to you and Nia. Hence, you also have a responsibility in protecting the company.”
Looking at Josiah’s side profile, Meredith felt bitterness welling up in her chest.
If she had not reminded herself over and over again about what Josiah had done to her, she would have fallen for

she loved the most and as the man that she could rely on.
“What’s wrong?” Noticing the conflicted look on her face, Josiah asked, “Did I say something wrong?”
“Josiah Shelby, don’t you think what you’re doing is just ridiculous?” With a flat tone, Meredith went on, “You
decided to hurt me and then you decide to give me the best medicine to heal my wounds. But do you know that
there are wounds in this world that even the best medicine won’t be able to heal?”
Before Josiah could say anything, she added, “Keep these meaningless words to yourself. I am not interested at all.”
Josiah finally replied, “But isn’t it worse if I don’t even try to heal you when I hurt you?”
“Edith, trust me. I will heal you just like how I managed to heal Nia.”
Josiah smiled confidently.
Meredith was suddenly at loss for words. Would she ever heal? Even Meredith did not believe that she could. “We’re
here,” Josiah said.
It was only then Meredith realized that they had reached. Josiah looked at her and said, “Get yourself ready and I’ll
drive you to your interview.”
“There’s no need for that.”
“You don’t let me help you with getting a job but you could at least let me drive you, right?” “Josiah Shelby, aren’t
you busy with your work? Can you just stop concerning yourself with
my business?”
“My wife and my child are way more important than my work. So hurry up and get ready,” Josiah smiled.
Meredith was speechless. She had clearly made it clear that she did not want to hear these honeyed words but
there he went again.

Meredith grabbed some stuff from her room and went back into the car. She then said to Josiah, “Have Walter drop
you at your office before sending me to my interview.” Seeing how Meredith was insisting, Josiah could only agree.
“Okay, whatever you wish.” The interview went smoothly. To be exact, so smoothly that Meredith could not help but
suspect that Josiah must have done something behind her back.
Hence, she called Josiah the first thing she walked out of the hospital.
Josiah received Meredith’s call in the middle of his meeting and he answered her call in front of everyone.
His face immediately softened and with a gentle voice, he asked, “You’re done with the interview? How did it go?”
The employees in the meeting were guessing that the person on the other end of the call must be Josiah’s new
lover. “It went smoothly.” “That’s good news, isn’t it? Congratulations Mrs. Shelby!” Was it Josiah’s wife? The
employees were left stunned.
How could Josiah be this gentle and warm toward Meredith who had tried to take his life more than once? The
employees found it hard to believe. They guessed that it might be possible that Josiah was putting on a show in
front of them to maintain the reputation of his company.
