Chapter 860
“Oh wait, you were only asked to clean the toilets of the pub, you weren’t even qualified to serve the customers.”
Meredith was not fazed by her taunting but instead, she smiled. “Well, you’re right. I guess you’re more capable
than me.
“But I’m not here today to compare myself with you. I wanted to ask you about someone,” Meredith cut to the
chase and said, “I’m looking for her.”
“Yena, that pea-brained girl? She asked me for a few hundred dollars this morning and left in a rush. I’m guessing
that she’s hiding underneath some bridge.”
“So it is true that Yena is involved with you!”
“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?” Studying Meredith, Quinley asked, “But why are you looking for her? Don’t tell me
it’s because of Mister Josiah again?”
“How did you know?”

been interested in his life. How could I possibly miss out on such happy news – that he got into a car accident?”
“Why would you think that I’m looking for Yena simply because of Josiah’s accident?”
“Because Yena went to meet Charlie and she tried to drive a wedge between you guys. Plus, Charlie is head over
heels for you and he desperately wanted you to stay. Hence, it is only natural that he would get his revenge on
Josiah by staging a car accident, no?”
Meredith was startled.
After a while, she asked Quinley, “How do you know about all these?”
“Because…” Quinley swirled the wine glass in her hand, smiled, and said, “I’ll tell you if you transfer me 20 grand
right now.”
Without any hesitation, Meredith took out her phone and transferred money to Quinley’s account.
Quinley checked her bank account, put away her phone, and took a sip of the red wine. “Because I was the one
who taught her to do so. Surprise, surprise.”
Meredith’s face darkened.
“Quinley Allison!” Meredith seethed as she raised her hand, wanting to slap Quinley.
It was as if she had expected that Meredith would slap her, Quinley grabbed Meredith’s wrist and smirked, “Calm
down now, Miss Meredith. Why would you want to hit me when you brought this onto yourself?”
She then flung away Meredith’s hand and said, “If it wasn’t because of you who’s going back and forth between the
two men, why would Josiah be hurt by his cousin? You should be blaming yourself for what happened, not me.”
“Besides, I only came up with a plan for the slow-witted Yena, and it was her decision to involve Charlie. How is this
my fault?”
“Miss Quinley, it seems like you’re not interested in working as a hostess anymore. It’s better if you’re locked up in
jail,” Meredith seethed coldly.
“So? What can you do about it?”
“What about you, Miss Quinley? What do you think Josiah would do to you?”
“Josiah Shelby?” Quinley pulled into a smile, lamented with bitterness and resentment “Tell me Meredith do you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreally think that Josiah took mercy on me because he didnt lock me up in jail?
“Isnt it?
Glaring at her, Quinley seethed, “Meredith Leighton, you ve been a hostess too, haven’t you? Then you should know
better how tormenting it is to be one!”
“I have to face those bunch of disgusting men every day and even when I’m utterly disgusted by them, still have to
keep a smile on my face and make sure that they’re happy. Don’t you know how it feels Or have you forgotten
about it because your days have been too peaceful?*
Quinley did not know whether Meredith understood the pain and torment that she was going through, but she knew
that Josiah must have known about it. And that was why Josiah kept her in this living hell rather than locking her up
in jail.
Meredith said flatly. “I don’t. Because no matter how poor and how hard my life is I would never stoop so low.”
Back then when she decided to put away her pride, she did it for the sake of earning money for Nia’s hospital bills,
not because she enjoyed it.
“You don’t?” Quinley studied her and nodded, “You’re right. Back then even when Josiah said that he hated and was
disgusted by you, deep down, he still cared a lot about you. How would he possibly allow other men to treat you
badly?”
