After saying that, Josiah turned to Mrs. Shelby. "Mother, if you really treated Ivy that way, then Meredith's words were not slander.
II
After all, Josiah abused Meredith the same way before, which had become one of the things he regretted the most.
"Josiah—" Mrs. Shelby was furious. "Are you so enchanted by this woman that you forgot your last name?"
"Mother, violence can’t solve problems. I don't want you to repeat the mistakes I've made in the past."
Josiah said to Penny at the door, "Penny, notify the family doctor to come and check on Miss Landers."
"Yes, Mister Josiah." Penny nodded and hurriedly left.
Meredith looked at the livid Mrs. Shelby, then glanced at Josiah. Soon after, she got up from the chair.
"Mrs. Shelby, I'm going to see if Nia and Cooper have had their breakfast."
After saying that, Meredith left.
Josiah understood what Meredith meant. After she left, he stared at Mrs. Shelby and said, "Mother, can
we talk?"
Mrs. Shelby sneered, "Meredith has bewitched you. what else can we talk about?"
"Let's talk about Ivy," Josiah answered, "Mother, you know that Ivy and I don't love each other, so why
do you force her to marry me and use abusive methods to threaten her?"
Mrs. Shelby was a little flustered when it was revealed that she was abusing Ivy, but after hearing
Josiah’s words, she gradually calmed down."I thought it would be something important. Well, I'm doing all these obviously for Cooper's illness."
Mrs. Shelby could still make up a reason as long as Cooper was around.
"I'll find a way to treat Cooper's illness. As for Ivy, please let her go," Josiah said sternly.
"No way. Cooper must have a complete family." Mrs. Shelby was still determined.
Josiah snorted. "Mother, do you think I'll obey you and let you ruin Ivy's and my life?"
"I'm not the only one who thinks you should marry Ivy. Even your Grandpa agrees."
"Don't worry about this, Mother. I'll handle Grandpa." Josiah got up from the chair and glared at Mrs. Shelby. "I'll repeat it for the
last time—I won't marry Ivy, and you have no qualifications and status to force me. After all, you have long since divorced my
father and are no longer part of the Shelby family. "
After saying that, Josiah quickly left the dining room. However, he turned around after taking a few steps and said, "Mother, you
brought Ivy up yourself. Don't hurt her."
Looking at Josiah leaving proudly, Mrs. Shelby swept the dishes on the table to the ground angrily.
"Even if you're angry, you shouldn't lash your anger on my plates. " An unhappy voice suddenly sounded at the door of the dining
room.
Mrs. Shelby's expression changed slightly, and she looked up to find Old Madam Shelby walking in with the help of Penny. She
should have greeted her politely, but she could not speak.
"I think Joe is right. You divorced my son and left the Shelby family twenty years ago, so you're no longer Joe's mother."
Old Madam Shelby sat on the chair opposite Mrs. Shelby and looked at her. "what qualifications does an outsider have to
interfere in Joe's marriage?"Mrs. Shelby was even angrier, but she did not show it.
