Chapter 1296Chapter 1296
Liam swept Ivy a gaze through the smoke, but he did not take a good look at the dress she had on.
"It's only a dress. Just throw it away," Liam said.
Although Ivy felt that it was a waste to throw it away, at the thought that the Sheldons or Youngs were not short
of cash nor clothes, she nodded. "Okay, then I'll take it. Thank you. Mister Liam."
Liam put out his cigarette in the ashtray. He calmly asked, "Miss Landers, are you heading back to Josiah’s
mansion?"
"Yes, whether or not the Shelbys acknowledge me as family, I am Mrs. Shelby's personal doctor. I have to do
my job."
"Are you going back to do your job or to ruin Josiah and Meredith’s relationship?" Liam mocked her, looking at
her face blushing gradually before turning pale again.
"Oh, you blush? That means that you still have a bit of decency in you." Liam sneered. "If that’s the
case, why do you still want to head back?"
"I’ve already said it. I’m Mrs. Shelby’s personal doctor. I have to go back and work."
Liam finally walked over to her. He hugged her around the waist. "Why are you so anxious to leave? I
don't think you were like that last night, Miss Landers."
"Last night..."
"I was drunk last night, but you were not, Miss Landers." What he meant was obvious. She could have
pushed him away.Ivy thought that she could too, but why did she not do it the night before? Perhaps because . the body
was more honest than her heart.
She secretly clenched her fists. "Mister Liam, didn't you just call me cheap? I was just playing along.
Moreover, you tore my clothes off the moment you got on me. I'm a normal woman. It’s normal to have
needs. I won't be able to resist seduction too."
She pretended to take a deep breath generously. "We're not children anymore. This isn't our first time
too.
Mister Liam, don't take it too seriously."
Liam was speechless. He never expected that she would be able to say such things! Sure enough, she
has changed!
Ivy lowered her gaze to his arm around her waist. Then, she said, "Mister Liam, you are after all
engaged. I don’t think it is appropriate for you to hug other women, right? I'm really leaving." Ivy
forcefully pushed his arm away before quickly leaving the bedroom.
This time, Liam did not stop her anymore. He only took his phone and dialed Josiah, telling him that Ivy
was heading back.
Of course, Josiah answered Liam’s call right in front of Meredith. They initially thought of having some fun
before getting up. When they received Liam's call, they looked at each other.
"No, you have to get up!" Meredith pulled Josiah out of bed. "Joe, you have to quickly get up and go to her. If
not, Mrs. Shelby will beat her to death."
Ever since he saw the scars on Ivy, Josiah believed her.He no longer wasted any time. He got up, washed up, and changed his clothes with the fastest speed possible
before tugging on Meredith's hands, saying, "Edith, let's goback together."
"Why? Are you afraid of Mrs. Shelby?"
Josiah smiled helplessly at her. "Do you think I’ll be afraid of her?"
If Mrs. Shelby did not threaten him with Meredith's life, he would not have agreed to get married to Ivy.
"Then, why do you need me to go with you?" "I just feel better with you by my side."
