Chapter 100
“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.
