Ysabelle looked at Josiah to find that he looked annoyed.
Hence, Ysabelle dared not push it. Plastering a fake smile on her face, she said to Meredith,” That’s
alright, I should have been more careful.”
Getting up onto her feet, Ysabelle hissed softly, “Meredith Leighton, just you wait…”
Nodding, Meredith replied, “Sure. Come at me all you want if you are okay with me exposing all those
dirty tricks and schemes of yours.” Even though Meredith was no match against Josiah, she was able
to handle Ysabelle. Since she was already stuck in this pathetic situation, she was not scared of
anything else. But at the same time, she would not put up with the evil-
blooded woman anymore. Shooting her a deathly glare, Ysabelle stormed upstairs to change.
Just when Meredith was about to continue cleaning the floor, she heard Josiah’s voice coming from the
kitchen. “These are not prepared by Meredith.” At the mention of her name, Meredith felt her stomach
drop. Lily quickly explained, “Sir, Miss Meredith has been cleaning the house non-stop and she’s still
having a fever, so …”
“Get her here to cook everything again!” Josiah’s bellows were then followed by the sound of a plate
being thrown onto the floor. “Yes Sir, please calm down. I will get Miss Meredith here to prepare a meal
for you.” Lily then walked out of the dining hall and gave Meredith an eye. Meredith had no other option
but to stop what she was doing and make her way to the dining hall. Looking at the shattered pieces of
plates on the floor, Meredith took a deep breath before saying, “Sir, I…”
“Meredith Leighton!” Josiah threw a plate at her feet and bellowed, “Ysabelle is already taking care of
Yena for you and you even have Lily to help you prepare the food? And with this working attitude of
yours, do you really think you deserve to be paid for doing four persons’
jobs?”
Meredith shuddered in fear. Upon the mention of her pay, she hung her head low and said, ” I’m sorry
Sir. I will do it right away.” She started picking up the broken pieces of plate and cleaned up the food
that was scattered all over the floor.
By the looks of it, Lily had prepared the dishes according to her recipe but with just a taste of the food,
Josiah was able to know right away that it was not her cooking. Josiah was too picky with his food.
Using the shortest amount of time, Meredith finished preparing a table of food. Ysabelle came
downstairs just in time and helped her set the table. “Meredith, you haven’t eaten anything,
right? Do you want to join us?” Meredith took a glimpse at Josiah who looked gloomy, shook her head,
and said, “It’s fine.” “You still need to eat something, don’t you?” Ysabelle turned to look at Josiah and
said, “. Josiah, can Meredith join us?”
“She doesn’t deserve to eat with us,” seethed Josiah.
Ysabelle simply shrugged her shoulders and kept quiet.
Putting a meatball onto Josiah’s plate, Ysabelle said, “Josiah, this meatball tastes really good and it
looks juicy. Here, try some of it.”
Just when Josiah was about to take a bite, Ysabelle added, “I remember that Meredith had prepared
these meatballs for Yoel too.”
And just like she expected, Josiah immediately put down the fork in his hand and stopped eating
“Sorry Josiah, I…I didn’t mean it.” Ysabelle apologized. Slamming down the knife on the table, with no
expression on his face, Josiah said, “Get Meredith Leighton over here.” In the meantime, Meredith was
making a call to Wesley secretly. Upon hearing that Meredith was suspecting that he might have taken
the wrong sample, Wesley, who was on the other end of the phone, quickly explained , “Miss Meredith,
I know that you don’t agree with the paternity test results but I really did not get the wrong sample.
Plus, I’ve met Nia once and have even confirmed her identity with her doctor-in-charge before getting
the sample.” “Well…could it then be that there was a mistake with the paternity test?”
