“Uh…” Lily immediately said, “Sir, how could Miss Meredith place the rat inside? It must be because
recently the cleanliness of the mansion was not cared for properly which was why rats invaded. It’s my
fault. It’s all my fault…”
“For so many years, there were no rat infestations in this mansion.” Josiah looked at Meredith. “Let
alone rats that would bite people.”
Clearly, he had already determined that it was Meredith who did it. Meredith looked at Ysabelle’s
despicable face. If this rat was really placed here, only that vile woman would do it! Meredith calmly
looked at Josiah and said, “Mister Josiah, do you think I will risk my mother and daughter’s life to place
a rat here to bite Yena?” “Only you’ll know clearly whether you would or not.” Josiah sneered. “Anyway,
she won’t die from it. You don’t have to bear the responsibility too, do you?” “Sir, you could find fault
with me in every single little thing. I’m already so afraid that I don’t even dare breathe, afraid that I
would disturb you.” Meredith wiped her tears away. “Josiah, I don’t ask you to pity me. I only ask you to
be a little smarter. Stop being fooled by Ysabelle, that evil woman, please?”.
Josiah narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?” “What I mean is if this rat was deliberately placed
here, the only person who could have done it is Ysabelle.” Meredith looked at Ysabelle coldly. “Three
years ago, this woman planned everything, fooling you completely. Three years later today, it is still
her!” “You!” Ysabelle pretended to be furious and bit her lips. Her tears almost fell out.
She turned around and said to Josiah, “Josiah, I told you that this woman won’t admit her mistakes that
easily. She even wants to push the blame on me. If I was the one who arrived here first today, with her
joining forces with Lily, I won’t be able to clear my name!” Then, Ysabelle said to Meredith, “Meredith,
to think that I have always pitied you. How dare you slander me like that. Don’t you know that I returned
together with Josiah?”
Meredith never once hoped that Josiah would believe her. At that moment, looking at his expressions.
He did not suspect Ysabelle one bit.
Was this man just too stupid or was Ysabelle’s acting too amazing? Oh, she almost forgot. Ysabelle
was an actor. Acting scenes of placing blame on others were a piece of cake for her. “Meredith.” Josiah
glared at her and enunciated, “Go downstairs and kneel. You’ll kneel until dawn the next day.” Meredith
could not help but gasp. It was only the evening, yet he wanted her to kneel until dawn the next day?
Even Lily could not bear to watch it. She said, “Sir, the weather forecast says that it will rain heavily
tonight, Miss Meredith…”
“Whoever mutters another word will kneel together with her!” Josiah barked angrily,” : Everybody, leave
this room!”
“Sir…”
Seeing how Lily wanted to say something further, Meredith immediately pulled her and said, “. Lily, you
don’t have to help me. A man as stupid as him who can’t differentiate right from wrong is a lost cause.
It’s not worth your time.”
“Miss Meredith, stop talking,” Lily said desperately.
Meredith sneered, “Did I say something wrong? He is only worthy of being together with a woman like
Ysabelle.”
