Chapter 877
And of course, Charlie respected her decision.
Back then Charlie would ask for nothing more as long as Meredith was happy.
“Of course, I know you can take care of me but I want to have a career of my own,” Meredith smiled.
Meredith majored in medicine and at the same time, she was also interested in making her own perfume, just like
her mother did.
Now that the Leighton Group was back in business, Meredith had no choice but to give up on her interest and learn
to manage a company. She was now the new leader of Leighton Group.
Even though it was not her expertise, at least she had her own career.
“But the Leighton Group was acquired by the Shelby Group back then. Now that Josiah willingly handed the Leighton

Group back into your hands, it’s as if he had just put money right into your hands.”
Meredith did not expect that Charlie would suddenly care about this.
Indeed, a paranoid person would tend to overthink every single thing.
Meredith replied, “When Josiah and I divorced, he was supposed to give me alimony. Since he is willing to pay me, I
don’t see the reason not to take it. Don’t you think so?”
“But I’d rather you not accept it.”
Staring at her, Charlie went on, “Edith, if that’s what you want, I can give you ten more companies like the Leighton
Group. But why would you accept what he offered?”
Charlie could not help but regurgitate what Yena had told him the other day.
Josiah handed Leighton Group back to Meredith as soon as she came back to the country.
Charlie did not think too much into it but the more he thought about it later, the more that he hated the fact that
Meredith had accepted his offer.

Meredith understood what he was implying. Nodding, she replied, “Okay. As soon as our company is stable, I will
pay him back the amount that I owe him.”
“I can help you to pay him back.”
Meredith was well aware that the Larsons were as wealthy as the Shelbys. Besides, Charlie was the only son of the
Larson family and he would soon inherit everything from his family.
But Meredith did not feel comfortable accepting such a big amount of money from him.
She was conflicted.
Studying her expression, Charlie asked, “Do you not want me to?”
“Charlie, your mother is managing the Larson Group and she has always resented me for what happened to you. If
you were to ask her for such a huge amount of money, I’m sure she’ll only resent me more.”

“Why would you think that way, Edith?” Charlie went on, “You’re my wife and I am buying the Leighton Group from
Josiah. Shouldn’t this then be one of our shared assets?
“To put it simply, acquiring the Leighton Group is just a new project that the Larson Group wishes to develop.”
Meredith did not know what else to say.
She knew that Charlie would definitely overthink things again if she were to reject him.
Charlie patted Meredith on her shoulder and said, “You don’t have to bother yourself with this matter. I will return
the money to Josiah.”
Meredith could only nod her head.
Right then, someone knocked on the door.
Charlie smiled. “It must be Wilma. She’s here with your lunch.”
“Did you ask Wilma to drop by?” Meredith asked as she watched Wilma walking into the room with a lunchbox in
her hand.
“Yeah, if not who else?” Charlie took the lunchbox from Wilma and said, “Here, let me.”
