Throughout the entire time, Meredith had not been able to bring herself to look at Josiah. This was the f
irst time in three years that she directly looked at him.
Apart from the deep scar that he had left in her heart, Meredith loathed him.
Every single thing that he had done to her and her child that very year had
eventually caused her to harbor resentment and hatred toward him.
Josiah sat in a dark corner with his hands crossed
in front of him. His cold, gloomy, and grave facial expression could send shivers down anyone‘s spine.
Meredith too, of course, was anxious and terrified being around him.
But she did not avoid him, and instead, flashed a grin at him and
said, “I’m guessing that you want to see me without paying. Well, that‘s alright too. You can consider thi
s as my present for you.”
Just when she turned around to leave, Josiah grabbed her wrist.
It was the warmth and touch that she was familiar with...

by a stack of cash being thrown at her face.
The pile of cash landed on her forehead. Blood was dripping from the scratch wound. Meredith tremble

“Here‘s a million dollars.
Take off your clothes and give your all for the pole dance. Oh, and make sure you kiss every single ma

room,” said Josiah. In the darkroom, his sinister voice sent chills down everyone‘s spine. Meredith
looked at his gloomy face and took another look at the pile of cash laying next to his feet.
If she picked up the money, she would be stripped of her last shred of dignity. If she chose to ignore the
money, Nia would be off her meds in three days.
Gritting her teeth, Meredith crouched down by his feet and started
picking up the pile of cash that felt heavier than a weight of hundred pounds.
“Thank you, Mister Josiah, I promise to give my all.” Holding back her
tears, Meredith put away the cash in a
corner and started taking off her dress. Taking off her cardigan , then
her dress, followed by the petticoat ...Meredith‘s fair skin was being exposed little by little. She
was thinner compared to three year ago. Yet she still looked gorgeous. Having only her
underwear on her, Meredith got up onto
the stage, wrapped her limbs around the pole, and started dancing. Maeve was
right about Meredith being multi talented and versatile, and dancing was one of
Even though she had no experience in pole dancing, this type
of dance was nothing too challenging for someone with a flexible
body. The moment she climbed up the pole, almost everyone in the room gasped and exclaimed in ama
Aside from Josiah still sitting in
a corner with his hands crossed in front of him, the rest of the men in the room
were stunned and bewitched by Meredith‘s dance. Maeve provoked Josiah deliberately and said, “Josia
wife to be this good. It would be a pity if she isn‘t the club‘s best girl.” Tugging into a smirk, Josiah simply
“She‘s just an ex–wife.” Though he looked calm on the outside, Josiah was actually trying really hard
to hold back the urge to fly into a rage. He simply wanted to test how far Meredith
was willing to go for a million dollars. But to his horror, she willingly took off her clothes without any hesit
The once respectable Miss Leighton was actually willing to sell her body and dignity
for the sake of a mere million dollars.
Feeling somewhat bothered by how Meredith was moving and dancing around the pole, Josiah closed h
