Chapter 1244Chapter 1244
"I know that you just feel sorry for Josiah's child." Old Madam Shelby handed her a cup of freshly brewed tea. "To be honest, I am
also distressed, but let's just say that everyone has their own fate, and I can only say that Josiah doesn't really have a good
destiny."
"Yeah, he will only be with me when his life is not going well." Meredith said bitterly.
"Meredith, if you say that, I disagree."
"Grandma..."
"You have done a good job, and I see it." old Madam Shelby reassured, "If you hadn't done well enough, Josiah wouldn't have
tried his best to save you."
"Grandma..." Meredith leaned over and hugged Old Madam Shelby, tears slipping from her eyes.
"Okay, okay, we'll be over after crying this time." Old Madam Shelby patted her shoulder and said, "Get up, Ivy is not someone
nice to handle."
Meredith let go of her, sniffed and said, "Grandma, do you hate Ivy too?"
Old Madam Shelby had just been sounded by old Sir Shelby, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she
said, "I didn't hate her before, I even liked her very much. But knowing that Josiah is married, she still
drugged him to conceive a child on the wedding night. When you and Josiah were trying to get married
again, she came back to mess with him. This is really unacceptable to me."
"Grandma, what kind of person was Ivy before?" Meredith asked curiously."Before?" She thought back and said, "In my memory, Ivy is very sensible, independent, and versatile.
In short, she was very well versed in all aspects."
Old Madam Shelby's description of Ivy turned out to be the same as Josiah's.
"Speaking of which, she is very similar to you, with a similar temperament and personality."
"Really?" Meredith puzzledly said, "Why did Grandma choose me for Josiah to marry in the first place?"
"Well, this..."
Old Madam Shelby thought for a while, and finally said, "Meredith, you may not like to hear it, Ivy was
the first choice in my heart, but... After her parents died, she was taken by Josiah's mother and raised
by her side."
"Miss Landers was raised by Mrs. Shelby. Does it have anything to do with her marrying Josiah?"
"Meredith, you may not know, I have always had a bad relationship with Josiah's mother, she brought
Ivy to Josiah and taught her the tricks and ways on how to be the future heiress of the Shelby family.
Alas, you don't know the dirty tricks this family plays."
"I understand." Meredith said bitterly.
Was her mother not the victim of the grievances of the rich and powerful?
And she herself.
So she immediately understood that Old Madam Shelby meant that she was worried that Mrs. Shelby
and Ivy would join forces to attack her.
In this case, before Josiah and Ivy got married, she forced Josiah to marry the Leighton family's
daughter.To put it bluntly, she was just a pawn for the two generations of the women of the Shelby family to compete for power.
Seeing her droopy eyes, Old Madam Shelby coughed dryly, " Meredith, you don't hate Grandma, do you?"
Meredith returned to her senses, shook her head and said, "Of course not. You treat me so well, how could I?"
Well, as well as a pawn could be treated.
In these years, only old Madam Shelby loved her the most and trusted her the most.
Maybe it was just like how Mrs. Shelby trusts Ivy.
"That's good, I am relieved then." old Madam Shelby nodded and said.
Meredith thought for a while, and then asked, "Grandma, Ivy has liked Josiah very much since she was a child. Do you think she
still hopes that she has a chance?"
"It should be." Old Madam Shelby said, "When she was a child, she had the best relationship with Josiah and Liam, and the three
often studied together. As for whether Josiah is still the man of her dreams, I don't know."
"She had an equally good relationship with Liam, so why doesn't she marry Liam?"
