Arching his brow, Josiah said, “You can try if you dare.”
He then turned around and left.
But he came to a stop, turned around, looked at Meredith and said, “Since you have free time on your
hands to be offering your services, it seems to me that your workload isn’t enough, I’ll make sure that
Alfred gives you more work tomorrow.” After Josiah left, Liam patted Meredith’s shoulder and comforted
her, “Don’t worry. That guy won’t be able to do anything with you as long as I’m here.” Meredith pulled
into a bitter smile.
Josiah would not be able to do anything to her? Aside from making her life a living hell, at least he kept
her alive.
“Liam, there’s still more that you don’t know about him,” Meredith added, “it’d be best if you keep your
distance from me. I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”
“What are you talking about? I’m not a bit afraid of him.”
“But I do.” Meredith stared at him, with a look of solemn expression on her face.
Liam stayed silent and replied with a smile, “It’s getting late now, hurry in and get some rest.” “Thank
you.”
Picking up the phone on the floor, Meredith headed back to that moldy storage room.
With a look of disbelief on his face, Liam watched as Meredith walked into that storage room. He
thought to himself that Josiah had finally gone nuts.
Walking into Josiah’s study, Liam snatched away the pen in Josiah’s hand and said, “Dude, seriously,
what the hell are you doing? Even if Meredith did cheat on you, there’s no need to torment her like that,
is there?”
Josiah glanced at him. “Why? You have a problem with that?”
“Of course.” Liam walked next to Josiah, sat on the desk, and added, “After all Meredith was the girl of
my dreams and since you’ve married her, you should’ve taken better care of her. If you don’t want her,
then just give her to me.”
Liam asked bluntly, “Tell me, how much do I need to pay for you to sell her to me?”
“I’m not selling her!”
“Why? You’ve tormented her to this extent and had even thrown her into the storage room, haven’t
you? Since you hate her so much, why can’t you sell her to me?” “Who says that just because I hate
her so I’ll have to give her away?” Josiah scoffed, “I’m torturing her every day because it pleases me to
see her being in pain.” “You’re a nutjob, Josiah!” “Whatever you say. In any case, I’m not giving her
away.” Josiah looked at him and added,” Says the person who calls me crazy when you should be in
bed riglft now instead of flirting
with my ex–wife.” “Didn’t I tell you that my house caught on fire and I don’t have any place to stay?”
“You could’ve stayed in a hotel.”
Liam did think of staying at a hotel.
But he decided to stay at Josiah’s place to help Meredith take her revenge on Josiah.
“Now that I think about it, I’ll just save the money and stay at your place.”
“You’re not welcome here.” “Did I ask? In any case, I’ll be moving in for the time being.” Josiah looked
at him and asked, “What is it that you’re planning to do?” “I’m trying to save money, didn’t you hear
me?”, “You’re telling me that the great old Sheldon doesn’t have the money to stay at a hotel?” “Not
really, but we were taught that saving is a virtue, weren’t we? Well, I want to be a virtuous person.”
Liam then got off the desk. Walking toward the door while yawning, he said, “I’ll be taking the guest
room aight. You don’t have to pay me any heed, I’ll be good on my own.”
