Chapter 19
They were curious as to whether Josiah would help his ex–wife. As if he did not realize that Meredith was secretly asking for his help, Josiah pulled into a smirk and said, “I don‘t mind at all.”
Meredith felt her body go cold.
She was still too naive. She was naive to think that Josiah would not have resented her that much anymore.
She was too naive to think that Josiah would protect her since she had been his wife for one period of time.
With Josiah‘s approval, Maeve pushed it further and said, “Mister Leon, she‘s after all the prettiest lady in Jehovah City and once a Mrs.Shelby, I‘m sure she‘s worth a fortune. Shouldn‘t you show some sincerity if you want to kiss her?”
“I heard that Miss Leighton is really talented. She‘s good at playing the piano, painting, and even dancing! She had won in an international dance competition before,” said a woman while she pointed at the pole on the stage and added, “Why don‘t we have Miss Leighton to show us a dance?”
“The dancer should be naked for us to enjoy watching pole dancing. Don‘t tell me you want to see Miss Leighton...hehe...” One of the guys tugged into a smug smile as he rubbed his chin.
“I can‘t wait to see the body of the prettiest lady of Jehovah City!” Upon their taunts and jeers, Meredith was both embarrassed and frustrated that her face was flushed red.
Zya, who was startled by the situation earlier, hurriedly got back on her feet and rushed out of the room to get help from Miss Josie.
Leon stuffed a big pile of cash into Meredith‘s hands and urged impatiently, “Is it money that you want? Here, take this. Now hurry up, take off your clothes and get up there.” Clenching the pile of cash in her hands, Meredith felt even more disrespected.
