The Meredith that he knew back then was confident, prideful, and gorgeous.
With a tender smile on
her face, she held out her small hand to him and said, “Josiah Shelby, do you know the number of guys
in Jehovah City who want to marry me? Probably more than a hundred. But amongst them, I have
chosen you. It‘s not simply because I like you, but it’s because you‘re the only one who deserves to be
with me. And of course, amongst all the other women in this city, only I, Meredith Leighton,
is deserving to be your wife! So tell me, what is the reason that you‘re rejecting this arranged marriage?
And who gave you the right to reject this marriage?”
Meredith was surprisingly well–articulated.
And as if he was bewitched by her, Josiah had somehow ended up agreeing to the
marriage. After that, Josiah could never understand why he had agreed to marry her. Was it
really because only Meredith deserved to be with him? Although, he did
have to admit that Meredith was an extraordinary and outstanding woman. She was almost perfect.
Until this moment when she
was dancing without any clothes on, it was then Josiah finally realized that Meredith was a player. She
knew how to seduce men and how to get in their heads. After finishing the performance, Meredith got o
ff the stage and sat on Leon‘s lap. “Are you ready, Mister Leon? I‘m going to start kissing you,” teased
Meredith as she lifted. Leon‘s chin with a finger.
With the butterfly-shaped mask and the bloodstain on her forehead, to Leon, Meredith was
a temptation that he could not resist.
Leon was flattered and overwhelmed by Meredith. He quickly wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Mister Leon, my kissing skills were taught personally by Mister
Josiah. I hope you wouldn‘t mind,” said Meredith as she tried
her best to ignore the piercing cold gaze from Josiah, all the while
tracing her fingers across Leon‘s chin. Since Josiah wanted so badly to humiliate her, she would gladly
grant
his wish. She refused to believe that Josiah, the most respectable and influential man of Jehovah City,
would not be ashamed by the fact that his ex-
wife was being humiliated in front of so many people. Finally coming back to his senses, Leon nodded
his head and said, “I‘m sure you‘d be amazing since Josiah had taught you personally. Hurry up now, I
can‘t wait any longer…” He then closed his eyes, pouted his lips, and waited patiently for her kiss.
“Look at you getting all impatient,” chuckled Meredith before leaning in for a kiss.
Right when Meredith‘s lips were about to touch Leon‘s, a loud clanging sound was heard in the room.
Josiah had smashed the wine glass in his hands onto the floor. Startled by the sound, everyone froze.
They looked at the floor and then turned to look
at Josiah There was a gloomy, overcast expression on his face. People who knew Josiah well would kn
ow right away that Josiah was enraged.
And of course, Meredith knew better.
She was anxious, frightened…but at the same time relieved. After all, no
one would want to kiss someone sleazy and disgusting. Leon was horrified
by Josiah‘s response. Pushing Meredith away from his lap, he followed the crowd who was moving towa
haha…it was just a joke…” With a loud bang, the door of the private room was slammed closed.
The private room that was boisterous and lively a while ago was now dead
silent. Struggling, Meredith got off from the
floor and scoffed coldly at Josiah, “I thought you were willing to tuck away your ego for the sake of humi
you think that it‘s embarrassing too, huh?” Meredith picked up her clothes, covered her
bare body with them, attempting to tuck away some of the humiliation that she was feeling.
Josiah finally got up from the sofa. He grabbed the clothes from her and tore them. Then, he pointed tow
