Chapter 377Chapter 377
“Yeah, most of the seashells that they have been from the sea.
That’s why they have a lot more different types of seashells.”
‘‘But it‘s different, isn‘t it? Buying the seashells and picking them by ourselves?
I only like the ones that I collected and…” Meredith raised her arm with the seashell in her hand and
smiled while she said,
“and the ones that you pick for me.”
Josiah too pulled into a smile.
“Alright.
Forget about buying them, I‘ll collect the seashells with you.”
“Make sure to keep your eyes wide open.” “I‘ll try my best.”
“Oh, I see one over there.” Meredith started running toward where the seashell was.
The resort was facing the sea and even though Josiah and Meredith looked small from where Maeve
was standing, she was able to spot both of them.
Maeve, who was standing on the balcony in one of the rooms of the resort, had her hands gripped
tightly around the railing of the balcony till her knuckles turned white.
It was as if she wanted to tear the railing into pieces.Maeve resented the fact that Meredith was still the apple of Josiah‘s eyes but she fell into the ruts in
just one night.
And of course, Maeve refused to accept the reality.
Besides, she was able to earn some quick cash.
Her phone started ringing.
Taking a glimpse of the caller ID, Maeve immediately answered the call.
“Miss Quinley, I saw Josiah and Meredith.
But I don‘t think that they are only putting on a show as you claimed.”
“How would you even know if they are putting on a show or not?” Quinley laughed, “From how I see it,
Josiah is simply putting on a show, bringing Meredith on a vacation together so that the paparazzi
could take pictures of them.”
“Yeah? You can keep thinking that way if that makes you feel better.”
“Maeve, what are you planning to do?”
“Transfer five million dollars to my account and I‘ll tell you what‘s my plan.”
“You–”
“Miss Quinley, let‘s rewind, should we? You‘re planning to use me to get rid of Meredith so that you can
have Josiah to yourself, am I right?” Maeve scoffed and went on, “But how do you expect Josiah to fall
for you – someone who is both arrogant and ignorant? Don‘t you think that you need to spend some
money to make your dream come true?” Quinley was choking with rage.“Oh Maeve, please.
The pot is calling the kettle black.
Don‘t tell me that you don‘t feel the same for Josiah too.”
“Who wouldn’t admire such an extraordinary man like Josiah? Of course, I admire him too.
But
I am not as arrogant and ambitious as you.”
TU
“Pft, you know no one is going to believe what you say, right?” “Whatever you think.
But you‘re on your own if I don‘t get the money by the end of today.” “Didn‘t I just transfer you one
million last night? And you‘re asking for five million now? Do you think that I‘m your ATM?” Quinley
seethed.
Quinley did not expect that Maeve would be this greedy.
“Miss Quinley, let me kindly remind you that I only ended up where I am today because of you, “Maeve
hissed, “and one more thing, even if you give me another five million, I will never forgive you.” Quinley
felt rather guilty.
But at the thought that they already had bad blood, Quinley shook off the remaining guilt that she felt
for Maeve.
“I‘ll transfer it to you when you get rid of Meredith.”“I want it now.”
Even if she was in the ruts, Maeve thought that at least she was able to squeeze money out of Quinley.
Both ill–intentioned women were actually on the same frequency.
To provoke Quinley, Maeve purposely sent a video of Josiah and Meredith who was on the beach
collecting seashells to her.
Indeed, Quinley could not stand it and immediately send a message to Maeve.
(I will make the transfer tomorrow.
But this will be that last time.] Maeve read the message and suddenly realized that compared to
Meredith, Quinley was way more despicable.
novelbinMaeve then replied, [Fret not.
I will not let you nor Meredith off the hook that easily.)
