Chapter 685 At that moment, he realized that he had wrongfully blamed her.
Everything she did was for Nia. To treat Nia.
Josie thought hard before asking for credit unabashedly, “Back then, Merelyn was in a tough spot. She always asked
for her pay early. I always gave it to her.”
“You don’t have to say anything more,” Josiah said calmly.
He did not want to bring up those matters anymore. He could not bear to do it. At the thought that back then, Nia
was still in the hospital waiting to be urgently treated, yet he found all ways to make things difficult for her, he felt
like a jerk.
“You’re right. If I were Meredith, I would choose Charlie too.” Josiah bitterly picked up his glass and took a sip. He

“Because you lost your mind over the Yoel incident. You always thought the worst of everything. Naturally, with
Meredith, your IQ goes down to negative numbers. Luckily Nia is fine now, if not, you’ll blame yourself even more.”
Liam clinked glasses with him. “Come, let’s celebrate Nia’s discharge from the hospital. I also hope that you can
succeed in your competition with Charlie.”
Josiah placed the glass down and waved his hands at Liam. “No, I can’t drink anymore. I have to pick Nia up.”
Nia was still at the old house. He was all worked up about taking Meredith back to the mansion, yet he left Nia at
the old house.
“Old Madam Shelby is there to look after Nia. What are you afraid of?” Liam pulled him back to the sofa. “Come on,
I’ll drink till we drop with you. Like that, you can pretend to be drunk and sleep with Meredith.”
Josiah laughed self-deprecatingly. At that moment, if he wanted to sleep with Meredith, did he have to pretend that
he was drunk to do so?
He thought back about how he could just sleep with her back then without even caring about her consent.
Had she become stronger, or has he become weaker? He had become more thoughtful of her…
At the thought of all that, Josiah involuntarily drank a huge mouthful of wine.
Soon, he was drunk.
Liam noticed that he was wobbly when walking. He asked, “Is your driver at the door? Should I get you a driver?”
Josialı waved at him without even turning back
With his boss drinking, naturally, Walter would be waiting for him outside.
Josiah came out of the club. The cool breeze made him shiver and sobered him up quite a bit.

Piercing headlights were coming at him. Before he could react, he was knocked over by the car.
Josiah flew
The car came to a halt by the side of the road. It turned back around and wanted to run over Josiah again. Josiah
quickly got up from the ground bearing through the pain. He immediately avoided the car coming at him. He turned
around and opened the car door before pulling the driver out of the car. That man fell to the ground, rolled over,
and got up quickly. He fished for a knife behind him and pointed at Josiah, who was bleeding on the ground, and
chuckled, “Josiah! Meredith couldn’t kill you, so I’ll help her! You devil, just die!” The man roared and pounced at
him.
However, before he could pounce at Josiah, he was kicked to the side. It was Liam, who came out later, that kicked
him. After kicking him, he pinned that man down with a few other bodyguards.
“Josiah, are you alright?” Liam immediately went to check up on Josiah, whose head was bleeding. Josiah shook his
head. He touched the blood on his forehead before measuring up the man that was pinned to the ground by the
bodyguards.
“Greg Xander?” Josiah raised his eyebrows. “Who would have thought that you would do such a thing!”
