Chapter 933
Suddenly, Josiah reached his hand out to grab Meredith’s arm, “Edith.”
Meredith looked down to look at Josiah’s hand with an unfriendly look. Josiah released his hand with instinct and said
softly, “It’s almost the New Year. Why don’t you spend it together with Nia?”
Meredith was stunned. ‘Oh, that’s right. It’s almost the New Year. This year will be over soon and Nia will be a year
older.
Last year, she celebrated the New Year together with Nia and Charlie but it was not going to happen this year. She
took a deep breath with disappointment and said, “I’ll let you know before that day.”
“Alright. Just let me know if you are in any trouble. I will settle it for you,” Josiah offered.

Thus, she bent down a little and knocked at the window, “Please leave now. I don’t want anyone to see it and gossip
about us.”
Josiah leaned back on the seat and lit up a cigarette casually, “I want to have a cigarette to freshen my mind. You
can go in first.”
Anyone who was there could tell that Josiah only wanted to see Meredith off and entered the lift. Thus, Meredith
decided to ignore her and entered the building. When she was about to enter the lift, a few men appeared and
pushed her against the wall. She was in shock and asked while she struggled, “Who are all of you? What are you
trying to do?”.
A man turned her around and Meredith finally could see who they were. Other than the two men in suits, there was
an empowered woman in a power suit. The woman did not waste any time and got straight to the point, “When
Mrs. Larson left the mansion, Mister Charlie stabbed himself at his thigh multiple times and lost a lot of blood.”
“Wh…what?” Meredith looked at the woman in surprise, “How is he doing? He stabbed his own thigh with a knife?”
Although Charlie had a problem controlling his own emotion, he never had the tendency to hurt himself with a
knife.
“When the doctor went to check up on him, he found out there were multiple scars on his thigh. Some are old and
some are new. Don’t you tell me you don’t know this?” The woman asked.
“…I don’t know.” Meredith shook her head while her jaws were dropping to the floor. “I don’t know. He never hurt
himself in front of me and never let me see him shower or change his clothes, so…” Meredith asked quickly, “How’s
he doing? Are the wounds treated?”
“Ma’am, don’t you think it’s a little too late for you to be caring for his wounds?” The woman glanced at Meredith
with a mocking face. “Especially when you just got down from another man’s car.”

Despite being worried about Charlie’s wounds, Meredith knew this woman was not about to talk nicely with her
when she saw the look on the woman’s face. She asked in return, “Since you do not care if I care about Charlie’s
wounds or not, why did you come all the way to tell me this? So I’ll go back to look at Charlie?”
Suddenly, she strongly suspected whether this woman was telling the truth or not. She had never seen Charlie
hurting himself before. It was possible that they were using this as an excuse to trick her back to the mansion.
However, she quickly denied the possibility. She remembered how she accidentally touched Charlie’s
thigh a few times when she helped him to get on the bed. Charlie always looked like he was in agony when that
happened. Every time she asked him what happened, he would say it was nothing and refused to let her check his
thigh. He also never let her assist him to have a shower.
