Chapter 1284Chapter 1284
The next day, when Josiah woke up, he realized that he had fallen asleep in the same position the night
before. The magazine was still in his hand.
He rubbed his sore neck while looking around for Meredith.
Nothing in the bedroom has changed. It was as if no one had returned. He went to Cooper and Nia's room.
The servants that were tidying the house told him that Cooper and Nia had already gone to school.
Josiah headed downstairs to look for Meredith.
Downstairs, Mrs. Shelby and Ivy were sitting on the sofa. It seemed like they were planning to leave the house.
"Lily, has Edith gone to work?” Josiah asked.
Lily came out from the dining hall and said, "I don't know. I didn't see her. I thought that she still hasn't gotten
up from bed."
"She was not in the bedroom last night."
"What? Then where was she?"
Tm asking you that." Josiah furrowed his brows.
"Uh..." Lily shook her head. "I don't know. L.rn go have a look." Lily turned and quickly headed upstairs.
Josiah thought back about how he did not get through to Meredith on the phone the night before, a bad
feeling rose in his heart.
He quickly took his phone out. It was the same as the night before. His phone was shut.Naturally, the first person he thought of calling was Goldie.
"You can stop dialing," Mrs. Shelby said from the sofa.
Josiah turned around and looked at her cold face. His heart was instantly suspended.
"What do you mean?" He looked at Mrs. Shelby. "What did you do to Meredith?"
Mrs. Shelby looked up at him coldly. "Since last night until now. Guess what happened to her?"
Josiah was speechless. He looked at her in shock. " Mother, did you hide Meredith away?"
Mrs. Shelby smiled and took a sip of tea. She said, " You're putting it so nicely. I kidnapped her and
gave her to two strong men."
"You-" Josiah was anxious and furious.
Under desperation, he picked Ivy up from the sofa and yelled at her. "Where did the two of you hide
Meredith? Tell me!"
Ivy looked at Josiah's agitated face and instantly reddened eyes. She opened her mouth, but no words came
up. Her pretty face was filled with a complicated expression.
Mrs. Shelby said, "No need to ask her. She doesn't know anything."
Josiah pushed Ivy back to the sofa before turning to Mrs. Shelby once more. "Mother, what did you do to her?
What do you want?"
"Do you still need to ask me what I want?" Mrs. Shelby looked at him fearlessly. "As for what I did to her, all
you need to do is have a look and you'll understand."Mrs. Shelby picked up her phone on the table and played him a video.
When the video was played, Meredith's terrified voice came from the phone. "No! No! Don't touch me! What on
earth are you doing!?"
What replied was a man's lewd and flirtatious remark, " What do I want? Of course, to sleep with you,
gorgeous! You're so beautiful. It's a pity that you haven't experienced more men...hehe..."
In the video, Meredith was pinned by two men on the dirty floor. She struggled with all her might.
"No-”
