Chapter 230 Meredith glared at her, seething, “Ysabelle Leighton, you’re despicable!”
“Well, how do you think I managed to stay by Josiah’s side all these years?”
“If you’re so capable, why haven’t Josiah married you yet?”
“Oh fret not, Josiah would definitely marry me once the child in your tummy is. gone and your daughter is dead.”
“…” Ysabelle’s words pierced through her heart like sharp knives. Her daughter and the child in her tummy…she
must think of a way to save herself. She would not let Ysabelle have her way.
“You can dream on!”
“Oh, I don’t think it would be a dream, sister,” Picking up the box of pills on the floor, Ysabelle went on, “it’s just like
the last time, I don’t have to do anything and Josiah would get rid of the child you’re carrying.
“But, of course, I will make sure I keep a good eye on you this time so that the previous mistake won’t repeat.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYsabelle then stuffed the box of pills in Meredith’s hand. “I’d advise you to take the pills on your own instead of
having Josiah force it down your throat. It’s too cruel for the baby, don’t you think?”
“Are you done talking? Get the hell out of my room!” Meredith yelled furiously at her.
“Oh, don’t worry. I have no plans on staying in this room for another minute,” Ysabelle scoffed, turned around, and
walked out of the room.
How could she possibly get rid of the child when she had been through hell just to get pregnant? Meredith threw the
box of pills into the trash can.
Neither did she run away nor hide, Meredith stayed in the hospital for another two days.
As he promised, Josiah showed up on the second day.
Studying Meredith from head to toe, he asked with a straight face, “Meredith Leighton, so which decision have you
made? Abortion or the results of a paternity test?”
Meredith took a deep breath before replying, “Sorry but neither.” “So, you’re admitting that I am the father to the
child.” “You’re right. It’s yours.” “Meredith Leighton!” Josiah was irked by her attitude. Grabbing her by her chin, as
usual, Josiah seethed, “What’s with that attitude of yours? How dare you speak to me that way when you tricked me
to sleep with you?”
Unfazed, Meredith stared right back into his eyes. “Josiah Shelby, I have absolutely no interest in getting married
into the Shelby family again, but I am going to keep this child. This is my child and this has nothing to do with you.
You can choose to abandon him just like how you abandoned Nia. And like three years ago, I will not show up in
front of you and you don’t have to be responsible for the child.
“But,” Meredith started choking up, “if you force me to have an abortion, I will call your grandmother right away
and let her know how her grandson killed his own child with his own hands.”
“Are you threatening me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes.”
“And you think that I will let you have the chance to get in contact with my grandma?”
“I’ve already recorded our conversation earlier and I’ve set a timer to send the video to her. The moment my child
dies, your grandmother will receive the video right away.” Meredith pulled into a smile and went on, “So? What do
you say?”
Staring at the face that he was so familiar with, Josiah thought to himself that Meredith had become tougher and
smarter within a short amount of time.
For a second, Josiah thought that the Meredith in front of him was the Meredith that he knew years ago – the
prideful young madam of the Leighton family.
“Not bad at all, Meredith Leighton!” He seethed, “Seems like someone knows how to bite back.”
“It’s all thanks to you.” Even though she looked tough on the outside, Meredith was actually feeling utterly anxious
on the inside.
