Chapter 18
“Aside from Meredith Leighton, who else would be crowned as the prettiest lady of Jehovah City?” Maeve Xander, the lady dressed in red scoffed, “Who would have thought that the almighty Miss Leighton would end up being a prostitute here.”
Another woman quickly added, “Exactly. I thought that she would have found another wealthy man for herself after cheating on Josiah, tsk tsk...”
“Neither of you have seen her face, how can you be so sure that she is Meredith Leighton?” A man who was in disbelief asked. Clearly, the man refused to believe that Meredith, who was once every guys‘ dream girl had ended up being a prostitute.
“Miss Leighton’s face had been the standard template for those of us who underwent cosmetic surgery. One look at her nose and I could easily recognize her,” teased Maeve as she went on,” but of course, if you don‘t believe me, you can always ask Josiah. They have been sleeping together for a year and it would be impossible for Josiah to not recognize her.”
“Right, Josiah?” Maeve asked as she turned around to look at Josiah who had his eyes glued on Meredith the entire time, without saying a word. Upon hearing Josiah‘s name, Meredith froze.
Having spent some time working at Luna Club, Meredith had already gotten used to all sorts of profanity and vulgar words being thrown at her.
But the word ‘Josiah Shelby‘ had always remained stuck with her like a thorn in her heart, no matter how hard she tried to remove it.
Meredith finally realized why she felt a strange but cold vibe the moment she stepped into the private room. It was because Josiah was in the room.
Meredith thought that no one would be able to recognize her after being disfigured and especially since she changed her name as well.
At the thought of how Josiah had treated her ruthlessly and cruelly, Meredith‘s entire body started trembling. With a shaky voice, she said, “You...got the wrong person.”
“Josiah, she said we’ve gotten the wrong person, have we?” Maeve asked deliberately.
