FreeNovel108 Staring at Meredith, Josiah scoffed, “It was Wesley who overlooked the entire paternity test
procedure himself, and no one else was involved. You can stop wasting your energy on putting the
blame onto others.”
Josiah then continued dragging her downstairs.
Struggling to get away from him while crying, Meredith pleaded with Josiah, “Joe, would you please run
another paternity test? Just once more, and if it’s the same results, I’ll do whatever you tell me to,
please, I’m begging you…”
“Meredith Leighton!” Josiah threw her onto the floor in front of a storage room. Staring down at her
coldly, he hissed, “You’d made me into a fool for trusting you, and you expect me to make the same

“Joe, there’s really a mistake on this one!” Crawling toward him, Meredith tried to grab onto Josiah but
was kicked away. Dropping onto the floor, Meredith felt as if her bones were hammered into pieces.
Josiah added coldly, “A liar like you does not deserve to stay on the second floor. You will stay in this
storage room from today. Now, get up and start doing your chores!” “Don’t forget that you’re replacing
four of my servants. If I see even a speck of dust, don’t blame me for the punishment that you’re going
to get.” Watching Josiah leave, Meredith felt her world collapsing down on her. Laying on the floor, she
started crying her heart out as she recalled the perfect dream she had earlier.
Indeed, dreams were meant to be dreams.
In her dreams, Josiah was completely different than Josiah in reality.
She would never trust in her dreams ever again.
After making sure that Josiah had gone upstairs, Lily hurried over to Meredith and covered her with a
cardigan. “Miss Meredith, go in and warm up yourself. I’ll help you with the chores.” Looking at Lily,
Meredith hugged her and cried, “Lily, Nia is really Josiah’s daughter. Why would the result come out as
negative?”
Lily shook her head. “I am confused too.”
With her face full of tears, Meredith stared at her. “Lily, do you believe me?”
“Of course I do. If not, I wouldn’t even be here for you,” Lily wrapped the cardigan tighter around
Meredith and went on, “let’s leave it to time. Things will get better soon.”
“But…my mom and Nia could not afford to wait,” sniffled Meredith.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeredith even thought that things would finally be easier for her mother and Nia, but…
Ysabelle!
Inwardly, Meredith was seething. “Let’s talk to Sir once he is in a better mood,” Lily went on, “there now,
you’re still having a fever, aren’t you? Go in and get some rest.” “Lily, are you trying to get my sister
killed?” Ysabelle’s cries were heard and soon she was seen standing in front of Lily and Meredith. With
her arms crossed in front of her chest and leaning against the door, Ysabelle glanced at Meredith
whose face was covered with tears. “Josiah is boiling with anger from the paternity results and he’s
taking out his anger on Meredith by having her do the chores. If he sees that Meredith is resting, it
would only anger him more, and Meredith would be the one to suffer the consequences in the end.”
“Miss Ysabelle, you…” Lily glared at her and said, “do you really have to treat your sister this way?”
“Lily, can’t you see that I am caring for her? Why would you misunderstand my kindness?” Acting as
she was wronged, Ysabelle added, “I’ll ask Josiah to intervene if the both of you keep this up.” Lily was
wordless by Ysabelle’s unreasonable threat
