Chapter 1285Chapter 1285
"I beg you, don’t touch me! Please-"
Josiah could no longer bear it. He angrily threw Mrs. Shelby's phone on the floor.
He glared at her with reddened eyes and said, "Mother, listen to me. If anything happens to Edith, I will
kill you. I will die with you!"
"I'm almost a dead person. Will I be afraid of your threats?" Mrs. Shelby sneered at him, "Let me tell
you, Josiah. Using my life in exchange for Meredith’s life, I’m not losing out at all!"
"You..."
"Joe." Ivy grabbed Josiah's wrist and looked at him. " Quickly say yes to Mrs. Shelby. You can't argue
with her."
"I can't argue with her, so I should obediently give in to her and marry you?" Josiah swept her gaze.
"Ivy, Meredith kept saying that you have your difficulties. She always wanted to help you. Who would
have thought this is how you treat her? Don't you have any guilty conscience?"
"I..." Ivy shook her head. "Joe, stop wasting time by fighting with Mrs. Shelby. It’s more important to
rescue
Meredith."
"If the price of rescuing Meredith is marrying you, I..." Josiah could not finish his sentence.
"What? You're not going to rescue her anymore?" Mrs. Shelby raised her eyes coldly at him. "That’s the
best. I don't believe that once Meredith is dead, you won't be willing to marry Ivy."Josiah was not in the mood to fight over this issue with her. He placed his attention once again on Ivy.
He grabbed her shoulders tightly. "Ivy, tell me, where is Meredith? Tell me!"
Ivy looked at how Josiah was losing it, yet she only shook her head.
”1 already said it's pointless asking her. She doesn't know anything." Mrs. Shelby looked at the time on
her phone. "Josiah, I’m giving you an hour. If you don't register your marriage with Ivy within the hour, I
will surely make sure Meredith dies under the two men."
Josiah was going crazy.
Before he could say anything, Mrs. Shelby threw him a body checkup report.
Josiah picked up and saw that it stated late-stage lung cancer. The name on the report was Mrs.
Shelby's name.
He was stunned. He finally understood what Mrs.
Shelby meant when she said that she would give up her life so that Meredith died. That was because
she had not long left to live. She did not mind killing people.
Josiah's mind was in a mess. His expressions were extremely darkened.
Mrs. Shelby looked at his expression. She could not help but be disappointed in him. "Josiah, your
mother has advanced lung cancer. Is this your only reaction?"
Sure enough, her son did not care for her one bit.
Josiah inhaled and sneered bitterly, "My mother would never push her son to the deep ends even if she
is going to die, SO...I don't have a mother. I never had one."Then, he looked at Ivy coldly. "Miss Landers. Don't we have a marriage to register?"
Ivy was speechless.
"Mrs. Shelby, please call them to let Meredith go." His tone was extremely cold.
Then, he turned around and headed for the door.
Ivy looked at him leaving quickly. She turned around and said to Mrs. Shelby, "Mrs. Shelby, Josiah has
already agreed to get married. Tell them to not touch Meredith. If not, Joe will get angry."
Mrs. Shelby was infuriated by Josiah, but she had nowhere to release her anger. After hearing what Ivy
said, she slapped her and said, "Useless piece of trash!"
Ivy could not hide. She suffered the slap square on her face.
However, she had no time to get upset. She clutched her face and said, "Mrs. Shelby, I don't want Joe
to hate me too much because of Meredith, so please...don't hurt her. Let her go."
