Chapter 165
“Miss Meredith…”
“Wait, that’s not right.” Before going on, Meredith paused then added, “You might be right, Lily. If I were locked up in jail, he wouldn’t be able to torture me anymore, would he? Of course, he wouldn’t want me to be locked up in jail. That is why he would rather lock me up in the basement to torture me, than to get his revenge for Yena.” With a solemn expression on her face, Meredith nodded. “Yes, that must be it.” Hence, she had to think of a way to escape. She refused to be thrown into a psychiatric ward like back then. She refused to be forced to the brink of death to the point that she had to jump off the cliff to take her own life. She still had to save her mother and Nia. Seeing how Meredith was rambling on without making any sense, Lily could only sigh. “Miss Meredith, you’re not feeling well. You should think about this once you feel better and are able to think clearly.”
Meredith got anxious. “Lily, I am thinking clearly.” “Hey, there. I know, I know,” Lily comforted her patiently. “In any case, you should focus on getting better.”

Meredith finally kept quiet.
Walking out of the basement, Lily ran into Josiah who was coming downstairs.” Sir, do you need me to take care of Miss Yena?” “It’s alright. I’m planning to send her back to the hospital.” “Why?”
“There are too many people around.” Josiah then headed toward the door. Seeing how he was not asking about Meredith, Lily hence said to him, “Sir, Miss Meredith is still having a fever. Are you really sure about keeping her locked away in the basement?”
Josiah stopped in his tracks, glanced at her, and said, “What’s wrong with that? Do you really think that a woman like her deserves to be walking around freely? Or are you thinking of pleading in her stead?”
Lily quickly explained herself. “I’m sorry Sir. I shouldn’t have crossed the line.”
Meredith was locked away in the basement for almost three days. She was starting to get anxious upon realizing that she was not getting freed any sooner.
She had not been able to pay Nia’s medical fees for quite some time and Nia would be kicked out of the hospital at this rate.
Feeling frustrated and irked, Meredith started kicking the door and started yelling, “Let me out of here! Josiah Shelby, do you hear me? Why are you locking me up? If you think that I am responsible for Miss Leah’s death, let me be punished by the law instead! “Do you hear me, Josiah Shelby!” By the time her voice started to break, she finally heard footsteps heading toward her.

You murderer!” Glaring furiously at her, Meredith scolded, “Ysabelle, how are you so wicked? Aren’t you worried that it will all come back to you later?” “Karma? Tell me, do you see anything that has happened to me after all these years?” Pulling into a smug smile, Ysabelle went on, “Meredith Leighton, I finally understand why Josiah’s unwilling to hand you over to the police. It’s because he knows what would get to you the most, what would torture you the most…just like now…” Gritting her teeth, Meredith sneered coldly, “It’s not like I haven’t been locked up here before. What’s the deal?”

“You’re right, it probably wouldn’t matter for people with thick skin like you to stay a few days in the basement,” Reaching for her phone, Ysabelle went on,” and of course, Josiah knew about this. Did you really think that he locked you up simply to see you suffer? Oh, you’re wrong, darling. What Josiah wants is to see you lose everything and to see you wishing that you were dead instead of being alive…” “What are you trying to say?” Meredith panicked a little but she kept a straight face.
