Chapter 879
She made sure that the curtains were drawn. Right when she was about to change, she heard heavy footsteps
nearing her door and the sound of the door being pushed open.
Startled, Meredith reflexively covered her body with her clothes,
“You…” Meredith stared at the man who showed up out of the blue.
Smirking, Josiah continued her sentence, “Why am I here?”
By the time she came back to her senses, Meredith immediately pushed him away. “Josiah Shelby, what more do
you want from me? Get the hell out of here! Get away from me!”
She did not want Charlie to find out that she had met with Josiah alone, again.
Seeing how Meredith was covering her body with her clothes, Josiah grabbed the shirt from her hands, put it over
her head, and zipped up her shirt.

Meredith was stunned by his swift movements but she quickly came back to her senses.
“What is it that you want, Josiah Shelby? If you’re planning to do something that would make Charlie
misunderstand, I’d advise you to get the hell away from me right now!”
Looking at her, Josiah asked, “I do have a question for you, Meredith Leighton.”
“What is it?”
“You’re quite generous, aren’t you? Making a few million dollars transfer to my company’s account.”
Meredith did not expect that Charlie would move this quickly.
Charlie had just told her that he would help Meredith to pay back Josiah and he did it right away.
Clearing her throat, she said, “Charlie didn’t think that it was right for me to take back Leighton Group when you
acquired the Leighton Group with a sum of money. I agree with him and so I’m paying you back.”
Josiah felt anger thrumming through his veins but he had to tamper down on his rage.
Because the only way that he could vent out his anger on Meredith was to kiss her.
“Seems like you’ve married the right person, huh? One that could easily give away a few million dollars,”
Josiah mocked
“You must be right. I didn’t think that I would be living such a wealthy life.”
Meredith smiled bitterly. “If only I met Charlie earlier, Nia’s illness would be treated earlier and I wouldn’t have been
in this shitty mess with you.”
“Are you trying to provoke me?”
“No,” Meredith came back to her senses, shook her head, and said, “sorry, I’m just feeling a little wistful.
“Since the money is already transferred, you can keep it. After all, the money belonged to you in the first place.”
Meredith tried to soften her tone as she was reminded of the car accident.
“And about the car accident, I hope that you’ll keep your promise about forgiving Charlie.”
Meredith was in the middle of racking her brain to come up with a way to discuss the accident with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJosiah. Since Josiah was here, Meredith thought of settling it once and for all.
“Keep my promise?” Narrowing his eyes, he asked, “What are you talking about?”
“Are you going to go back on your word?” Meredith reminded him, “You said that you’ll stop pursuing the matter of
the car accident if I kissed you. I’ve kissed you and I’ve even paid a heavy price, are you still not satisfied?”
Josiah looked at Meredith who also had her head wrapped in bandages.
Josiah was indeed not satisfied.
His plan did not include her falling down the stairs and nearly losing her life…
“And I’ve clearly said that I’ll let Charlie go only if you’re able to make me happy with your kisses. Now, tell me, Miss
Meredith, have you done that?”
It was obvious that she did not.
“You-!” Meredith was wordless with rage.
She already guessed that Josiah would respond in such a way.
“Josiah Shelby, I’ve already kissed you as you wanted. What is it exactly that you want?” Meredith fumed.
“You should know better, don’t you, Miss Meredith?” Josiah looked at her and smirked. “If you don’t, you can try to
recall how you used to kiss me during the times when you lost your memories. If you’re able to do that, I’ll probably
reconsider.”
