Chapter 554 At the sight of him finishing the soup, Meredith secretly pulled into a smirk as she knew that Josiah
would not be able to escape this time.
She was finally able to get rid of the devil.
“What’s that strange look on your face?” Josiah noticed the weird expression on her face.
“Josiah Shelby, why did Zade’s doctor suddenly take leave?” Meredith asked. Josiah’s face darkened slightly as he
seethed, “Meredith Leighton, what are you up to again? You just have to bring up that man’s name in front of me,
don’t you?”
“Answer my question first.” Meredith sounded cold.
Suddenly, Josiah leaned in closer to him and grabbed the back of Meredith’s head. “I dare you to mention his name
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtagain, Meredith Leighton.”
“Zade Brooks…”
Josiah lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.
Stunned, Meredith immediately started resisting him.
Josiah had just finished the soup and Meredith could taste the soup in his mouth. Meredith did not want to die with
him.
“Josiah Shelby, I have no plans of dying yet.” Meredith pushed him away and started wiping her lips violently with
tissues, She then scoffed, “Don’t drag me to hell with you.”
“What are you talking about?” Josiah was puzzled by her unusual behavior.
Meredith tried to soften her expression and said, “It’s nothing. I simply think that it’s not that hard to get rid of you.”
“What did you say?” Josiah looked at the bowl in his hand then looked at her. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
“I said, you’re not that hard to deal with. I didn’t think that it would be so easy to convince you to drink the poisoned
chicken soup.”
“You poisoned the soup?” Josiah was staring at her with rage.
Not feeling bad at all, Meredith simply nodded and even pulled into a smug smile. “If not, what did you think? Did
you really think that I’d come all the way here just to give you the chicken soup?” “I really thought so.” Josiah
sounded utterly disappointed. “Perfect. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. You should
get a taste of your own medicine – of how it feels like to be betrayed and lied to.”
“So, what did you put in there?”
“Something strong enough to take your life.”

To be honest, Meredith did not know what poison was added to the soup. But judging from Quinley’s ‘ambition’,
Meredith guessed that it must be something strong.
And it did not make sense for Quinley to give her mild poison.
That was why Meredith decided to give the soup to Josiah. “I want you dead,” The look in her eyes was getting
vicious as she seethed, “it’s only when you die that Zade won’t have to suffer anymore.” Josiah hissed, “Meredith
Leighton, you’re still bringing up the man’s name!” “And I will keep bringing up his name. Only then before you take
your last breath, you’ll still hear of his name, and only then your soul will never be able to rest in peace.”
Looking at his good-looking face that was distorted in anger, Meredith inched closer to him and taunted, “So? Don’t
you have a strong urge to slap me? Come on, do it, just like how you did the other day.”
“I will not hit you,” Staring at her, Josiah shook his head and said, “I only hit you the other day because you were
hurting yourself and I needed you to calm down. “Meredith Leighton, did I hit you when you tried to stab me to
death? No. That is why I will not hit you today. But I don’t know if I’d be able to get you out of jail this time.”
“There’s no need for that,” Meredith replied flatly, “I will go and keep Nia company once I get my revenge.”
