Chapter 762
Finding it hard to swallow her food, Yena lifted her head to meet Josiah’s eyes as her eyes turned red-rimmed.
Not only was she devastated by her mother’s passing, but she was also wretched that Josiah was doubting her.
Hence, tears started welling up in her eyes.
“It was Meredith who told me that, she…”
“That’s impossible!” Before she could even finish her sentence, Josiah cut her off and went on, “Meredith is not the
type to threaten someone. Even if she can be cruel sometimes, she is still a kind person deep down.” “Sir, was she
really not the one who pushed my mother off the building?” “I first thought that it was her too, but after your
poisoning incident, I am starting to suspect otherwise,” Josiah went on, “rest assured that I will give you an
explanation that you’ll be satisfied with regarding Miss Leah’s death.” “An explanation that I’ll be satisfied with?”
With tears running down her cheeks, Yena asked,” Josiah Shelby, it is an undeniable truth that my mother is dead.

What kind of explanation do you think I’d be satisfied with?”
“I know I can’t bring your mother back to life, but I won’t allow evil to get away with this. That is why I’m requesting
an investigation of the incident to uphold justice for you and your mom.”
“What’s the use in all of this when my mom is already gone?” Yena sobbed.
She then looked at him and asked, “Sir, I know that Meredith is a lovable person and fine, let’s assume that she’s
not the one who harmed my mother, but what about those things that she did back then? Am I supposed to forgive
her for all of that?” “Yena, I don’t think that it was Meredith who pushed you down the stairs.” “You…” Yena got
anxious. “Sir, are you saying that I’m lying?”
“‘Yes.”
Stunned, Yena did not expect that Josiah would be this straightforward. “Unless you can offer me a proper
explanation on your poisoning incident,” Josiah’s voice turned cold as he went on, “for example, why were you
unconscious for so long when you’re not severely poisoned? And also why you suddenly regained consciousness as
soon as Meredith ran away.’

Yena was aghast as she did not expect Josiah would be looking into her poisoning incident as well.
She knew that Josiah would not believe her but still, she shook her head to deny all the accusations. “Sir, I don’t
know what you’re talking about.”
“It’s okay if you don’t understand. But I just want you to know that things are even between the both of us now.”
“What do you mean?” Yena continued to act clueless.
“That you saved my life years ago and I too, am partially responsible for Miss Leah’s death because she was one of
my employees,” Josiah went on, coldly, “but what happened to Meredith five years ago, I can’t help but to suspect
that it has something to do with you, Miss Leah, and Ysabelle. And with this incident too, don’t you think it’s more
than enough for us to call it even?”
“No, it’s not what you think,” Feeling anxious, Yena got off the bed, grabbed Josiah’s arms, and said, “Sir, you have
to listen to me. What happened five years ago really had nothing to do with me and my mother. I admit that it was

Ysabelle who asked me to secretly record Meredith and Yoel, and it was also Ysabelle who pretended to be Meredith
and pushed me off the stairs. I lost my consciousness then and I really don’t know what happened after that. “I
swear that I did not participate in any of Ysabelle’s schemes. I am a victim too! I really don’t know anything about
it!”
“And do you know what Meredith had to go through when you went into a coma?” Yena shook her head but quickly
nodded again. “I do. Quinley told me everything.” “You’re finally admitting that you’ve met with Quinley?” “It was
Quinley who showed up here.”
At this moment, Yena had completely given up on her dream of marrying Josiah. For the sake of saving herself,
Yena was willing to betray her ‘partner-in-crime.’
“It is all Quinley’s fault! She was the one who planned everything!” Feeling wronged and anxious at the same time,
Yena cried, “Sir, I’ve never thought of hurting Meredith. It was Quinley who came to me and told me that it was
Meredith who killed my mother and that Meredith is planning to get remarried to you. It was also Quinley who
incited me to poison myself and she said that you will not remarry Meredith if I did as she told me. And that I’d get
a chance…to marry you. 1
“I have crossed the line and I am way over my head. I’m sorry, I really am. Please forgive me,
