Chapter 870
Because she was dragged forcefully, Meredith crashed right into Josiah’s arms.
“Josiah Shelby. you…” She was trying to resist him when Josiah already dragged her into the fire exit staircase.
Her back was pushed against the wall and the next thing she knew, Josiah had crashed his lips against hers.
She was used to him forcing himself onto her but like every time, she started resisting him instinctively.
She tried to push him away with her hands but Josiah had her hands locked above her head.
She then tried to kick him with her legs but her legs too were locked between his.
In the end, she had no other choice but to bite down on his lips.
She could start to taste the blood in her mouth but Josiah continued kissing her as if he felt no pain.
It was as if he was trying to kiss her to stop her from resisting.
And of course, Meredith knew him the best
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor the sake of wanting him to stop, Meredith had to stop fighting him.
And indeed, when she stopped resisting, he removed his lips from hers. Meredith could feel his cold breath on her
face.
“Is this fun to you?” Josiah seethed through his gritted teeth.
Josiah’s face was too close to Meredith’s and she had no choice but to look away. She then said, “Josiah Shelby,
even if you don’t care about how I feel, you should at least care about the injuries you have on you.
Not only was his head injured, but his legs were injured too. Meredith was aghast that his injuries did not stop him
from coming onto her.
With rage gripping him, Josiah tightened his grip around her hands and seethed, “Tell me, do you think
this is a game to you?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Meredith lowered her voice and went on, “let go of me right now,
Josiah Shelby. Charlie is just right outside and if he sees you doing this to me, he will…”
Meredith could not bring herself to finish her sentence.
Josiah asked instead, “What will he do? Find someone to hit me with the car again?”
Meredith was stunned.
Could he have known about it?
How did he know? Did he guess it? Or could he have looked into it?
“You…” Meredith pretended as if she could not understand what he was saying. “Why would you say that, Josiah?
Why would Charlie find someone to hit you? He…”
“Meredith Leighton, why don’t you drop the act, huh?” Josiah taunted, “Why? Do you want me to kiss you again?”
Meredith unconsciously licked her lips and realized that his blood was on her lips.
“Charlie Larson staged an accident and got me injured, and he has the nerves to show you off in front of me.
Meredith Leighton, do you really think that I would feel nothing at all? Do you think that this won’t hurt or hurt me at
all?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No,” Meredith hesitated as she did not know what to say, “it’s a misunderstanding, Josiah. We are not showing off
and Charlie…had nothing to do with the accident.”
Josiah was staring at her furiously. He looked like a triggered but injured lion.
“For the sake of protecting him, you’re willing to tell lies,” He scoffed coldly, “back then when you decided that I was
the one who injured Charlie, you didn’t even give me the chance to explain myself and simply slapped and hit me
however you wish. You even tore me down with your words. But you’re protecting and taking his side now?
Meredith Leighton, since when did you become this cold and selfish?”
“1…” Meredith gnawed on her lips and said, “fine, Josiah Shelby. Even if Charlie did stage the accident, it was a
misunderstanding because he thought that it was you who got him into that accident. Plus, you’ve been bothering
me for the past weeks and Quinley, that brat, tried to drive a wedge between us. That was why he thought of
getting back at you without thinking it through.
“That day… Quinley went to see him and said something to him. I’m guessing that he’s got a lot of resentment built
up in him,” Staring at Josiah, Meredith went on, “Josiah Shelby, I have a favor to ask of you. Do you have the
evidence for Quinley’s crimes? If so, please lock her up in jail so that she would stop causing trouble.” She then
looked away.
