Chapter 403Chapter 403
“Quinley, you have to save me.” Maeve softened her tone and started pleading with Quinley.” Quinley.
You can’t just leave me here and do nothing. It’s because of you…that I fell for Josiah’s trap. I…” “Miss
Xander!” Quinley interrupted her and quickly swept a glance at the staff nearby. She said, “What do you
mean it was because of me? You were the one who had ill intentions toward Josiah. You even secretly
followed him to the resort to make trouble.”
Maeve was stunned. Then, she nodded, “Yes, yes. It’s all my fault. I was greedy and evil. I now know I
was wrong. Can you help me, please?” “I can’t help you,” Quinley said impatiently, “I already said that
this is Josiah’s case. He has already put out the word. Whoever dared to help you meant that they
were going up against him. Miss Xander, take care. I’m leaving.”
Then, Quinley was about to leave. When Maeve realized that pleading would not work, she went the
tough way. “Miss Allison, since you’re not willing to help me, I can only ask to see Mister Josiah.” Sure
enough, her words made Quinley stop in her tracks. She coldly looked at her. “What do you mean by
that?”.
“Why do you need to ask the obvious, Miss Allison?” Maeve sneered, “If you don’t mind, I won’t mind
telling all the others here about your…” “Shut up!” Quinley interrupted her furiously.
“What? Are you scared?” Maeve smiled even more maliciously. She deliberately enunciated,” The bank
transfer of four million dollars. All I need to do is tell Josiah where it came from.”
Quinley started to pale…
“Let me remind you that a person like Josiah does not care about reason or its process. He only cares
whether Meredith was hurt. He would not care about you. He would only want you dead. Just like how
he hunted down my family.”If it were not for Maeve being locked up, Quinley would think that she was just trying to intimidate her.
However, Maeve was a living example herself. Quinley glared at her. She knew that Maeve calling to
see her would not be that simple.
She secretly gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t worry. I will try to help you as best I can, but I must warn
you. My abilities have their limits. Whether I can help you or not is up to Josiah’s attitude.”
“No worries. If you can’t help me, I’ll drag you down with me.”
“You!” Quinley was so furious she was struck dumb,
“Why are you so angry? Have you forgotten how you framed me at the party that day?” Maeve smiled.
“Miss Allison, do you think that now I’m down, I can’t do anything to you?”
novelbinIt was the other way round, in fact,
To calm her down, Quinley could only soften her tone. “Since you’re so great, teach me. Other than
going to beg Josialı to let you go, what else can I do?”
She did not need to think to know that begging Josial to let Maeve go was not going to be successful.
Maeve knew that too,
Maeve was silent for a while before saying, “Don’t you know how to put on an act well? You know how
to pretend to be best friends. Why don’t you try it on Meredith?”
Quinley was speechless. “I can’t get close to her.”
Josiah had always been protecting her strictly. Maeve knew about that too, but she still coldly said,
“That’s your problem. Use the intelligence that you use to frame me to think about how you can get
close to her.”Meredith pouted and stood outside the mansion door. She would not enter. Josiah was amused. He
measured her up. “Why? You don’t want to go back to your own home?”
Meredith had been unhappy throughout the entire journey, and he had coaxed her all the way. “Didn’t
we make a deal already? Once I’m free, I’ll go with you. We can stay there for as many days as you
want,” Josiah coaxed her patiently, “let’s head back in to get some rest first, okay?
