Chapter 297Chapter 297
However, other than asking Meredith for help, what other choice did Margot have? She had no other
choice. “Even if we have to prostrate and bow our heads to her, we have to bear it. After all, it is a small
issue if the company goes, but we can’t have the family all in prison!”
“Mom, I’m not going!”
“Ysabelle! Don’t think too far away, just think about Miss Leah,” Margot reminded Ysabelle,” murder
itself would give you a life sentence. Previously, Josiah did not investigate it because he was
determined that it was Meredith who did it, he wanted to keep Meredith alive. Right now, if he were to
investigate it again, he would find out everything about what you did. You’ll be sentenced to death. Do
you understand?”
Death sentence,
Ysabelle was so frightened she was at a loss for words.
Liam poured a full glass of wine and pushed the glass to Josiah.
Josiah did not drink. He only watched the video repeatedly on his phone. The video was of the event
held at the mall previously, Meredith brought Nia up on stage to play the piano. He got the video from
the owner of the child’s clothing shop. In the video, although Nia was weak, she looked pretty and
confident. Her piano playing was good too.
He remembered back then, his grandmother praised Nia and wanted to bring her home. It was a pity
that he was blinded by his enemies. He did not give in to his grandmother’s request.
“What’s gone is gone. What use is there regretting?” Liam hinted at the glass of wine on the table with
his chin. He said, “Drink up. I purposely left my date to come and get drunk with you. Don’t be such aparty pooper.” Liam was originally attending another event that night, but he received Alfred’s phone
call saying that Josiah has not had any food or sleep for the past few days. He hoped that Liam could
come to talk some sense into Josiah.
Liam initially wanted to ignore Josiah for another few more days, but he could not bear to do it, so he
came over.
“I have long warned you that you would regret it one day. Look at it. It didn’t take long for it to come
true.” Although Liam pitied Nia and Meredith, he could not find it in his heart to pity his friend.
“Drink up. You won’t feel so bad once you’re drunk,” Liam urged once again. Josiah finally put his
phone down and downed the wine in his glass.
Liam smiled and poured him another glass. “Continue.”
By the third glass, Liam looked at him. “Josiah, when you hit me the last time, do you regret it?
Josiah glared at him with reddened eyes. He said with gritted teeth, “Liam, you look happy?”
“Yes, I am, but not because Nia is dead and Meredith has gone mad, but because I get to see you
upset and remorseful, beating yourself up.” Liam was direct. “Truth be told, if Meredith was my sister, I
would have beaten you up to death.” Liam pushed the fourth glass toward Josiah. “Josiah, you bullied
her because she did not have any family support, but if she had support from her family, would you
dare to treat her that way?”
osiah threw the empty glass in his hand on the floor. “Then, why didn’t you marry her back hen? If you
married her, I wouldn’t dare to touch her, right?”
iam was stunned for a while. He lowered his head and looked at the floor of glass shards.” osiah, have
you gone mad? Are you blaming me now?”“It’s just tooth, I’ll pay you back
It was dust a tooth How could

Liam suddenly raised his list and threw a punch at Josian’s face
lustab inimediately fell to the ground full of glass shards
Heinuneiately felt the glass shards picicntliouph his skin as he hissed out in pain Me finally felt the pain
of being laut by glass just like Meredith,
Josiah lad on the ground in a daze, letting blood ooze out from his body, dyeing his shirt red. The
scene that was on his mind was when Meredith was being thrown on the floor full of glass shards
Back then, she was not wearing any clothes. The glass shards immediately pierced her skin. It was
much worse than what he experienced at that moment, she must have been in much more pain than
he was now
Liam initially wanted to beat Josiah up to feel better, but he did not expect that Josiah would land on the
glass shards. He was rather awkward at that moment.
Even Alfred, who was standing nearby, could not help but reprimand, “Mister Liam. I asked you here to
talk to Mister Josialı, why did you beat him up?”
“L..had a slip-up,” Liam said. He looked at Josiah and said, “How are you feeling? Do you feel better?
Can you get up?” Seeing how Josiah was just lying on the ground not moving, Alfred shook his head
and went to get the doctorLiam reached his hand out and said, “Don’t play dead. Get up and drink.”
Josiah sat up on the ground. He picked up the other empty wine glass from the table and smashed it
on the ground. He glared at Liam and said, “Punch me again. Toward the glass shards.”
“Don’t be crazy. I’m asking you to get up and drink, not fight.”
“Shut up and do it!” Josiah waved a punch at Liam, provoking him.
Liam unexpectedly received a punch. He did not react in time. He was so frightened helid behind the
sofa.
“Josiah, you …have you gone mad like Meredith?” Liam looked at Josial in fear. After all, his back was
still covered in glass shards. It was still bleeding:
Josiah stepped on the sofa and approached Liam. He yelled, “Hit me! I’m asking you to hit me!
Liam was scared hall to death. He avoided Josial while frantically waving his hand. “No, Josiah, stop it.
It’s pointless. Just because you harm yoursell, Nia wouldn’t…”
Josiah went up to Liam and threw a punch, provoking him again,
Liam continued to swerve. “You’re nuts! Josial, you’ve gone nuts!” Finally, the doctor and Alfred rushed
over. Liam sighed in relief. The three of them pinned Josiah down on the sofa together.
When the doctor saw the terrifying sights of glass shards on his back, he gasped and said, “. Mister
Josialı, bear the pain. I’ll help you take the glass out.” Josiah was pinned on the sofa. He struggled for
a while before stopping. In the end, he calmed down.
The doctor finally took all the glass shards out of his back. He asked in concern, “Does it hurt?”“Yes.” Josiah nodded with reddened eyes.
It hurt excruciatingly when the glass shards pierced him. He never would have thought that it would be
much more painful when it was pulled out. It was so painful he was sweating cold sweat.
He could not have imagined how Meredith pulled out all the glass shards. Was she previously also in
so much pain, trembling like he was? It must have been so.
