Chapter 1054
At the mention that they were going to check the CCTV, the group of troublemakers started escaping.
Leaving a few of the ladies who were still grasping onto their last shreds of pride, scolding, “Meredith Leighton,
don‘t think that just because you have Josiah Shelby behind you, you‘ll be able to sleep in peace. Even if we have to
pay for everything with all of our savings, or whether we‘re locked up in jail, we will boycott Sweet Reminiscence
until the end!”
“Exactly, a woman like you shouldn‘t even be breathing the same air as us, let alone selling products.”
“Ignore them, let‘s go.” With his arm on Meredith‘s shoulders, Josiah turned her around and walked away.
Meredith walked away amidst the chaos and came to the lounging room on the top floor.
“You should go take a shower.” Josiah walked her to the shower room and adjusted the water temperature for her.
“I can do it on my own.” Meredith took the shower head from his hands.
“Your hair is dirty, let me help you.”

But Meredith did not let Josiah help her, and instead, she pushed her out of the shower room.
Standing under the flowing water, Meredith closed her eyes as she recalled what happened earlier. She felt
suffocated.
What she found ridiculous was that even though she was treated badly by them, she did not hate or blame any of
them.
It did not matter whether they formed an alliance on their own, or if they were being incited to do so, Meredith
could not hate them.
Perhaps it was because Charlie had left.
They were right that it was her fault that Charlie was dead.
Meredith did not know how long she stood underneath the shower until Josiah started knocking on the door.
Sounding concerned, he asked, “Edith, are you okay?”

It was then she quickly turned off the shower, grabbed a towel, and dried herself. “I’m done.”
Her clothes were dirtied and she could only put on a shower robe.
And Josiah could not resist her when she looked like this.
Staring at her, Josiah dried his lips, and said in a hoarse voice,” Goldie will send over some new clothes in a bit. You
might need to keep wearing this for now.”
Meredith nodded her head softly.
Josiah then waved at her. “Come here, I‘ll help dry your hair.”
“I can do it myself.” Meredith went to look for the hair dryer to find that Josiah had already plugged in the hair
dryer.
Without another word, Josiah pulled Meredith to him and started drying her hair.
The room was filled with silence and only the sounds of the hair dryer were heard.
Meredith finally said, “Just let those people go.”
“Edith, why are you still that kind?” Josiah was not surprised that Meredith would make such a request, but he still

put away that kind part of you. Because even when you go slightly easy or have mercy on them, your enemies will
only take advantage of you, and you might be destroyed easily, do you understand?”
“But they are not my business rivals. They were merely speaking up for Charlie and they were just a group of kind
hearted people who felt aggrieved for Charlie.
“How could you be sure that they were incited and just doing what they‘re asked to do?
“Josiah, can you not always think of the worst in people?”
“Okay. Even if they‘re not invited and not your business rivals, what they did today would be all over the news and
people are watching, even your business rivals. You‘re sending a message to them when you take a step back or
retreat, that you‘re an easy opponent. And from now on, be it in your personal life or in your work, no one will take
you seriously anymore.”
“Josiah, do we really need to live like that?” Meredith asked bitterly.
“You don‘t,” Josiah added, “if you come back to me. Let me take care and protect you, and you don‘t ever have to
be self conscious of what you do or say when others are around.”
“But that would mean that I‘d have to tip–toe around you.” Meredith shook her head. “Forget it. It‘s easier for me to
be independent and take care of myself.”
