Chapter 215
Ysabelle held onto Josiah, pulled the chair away, and said, “Josiah, Meredith has left the mansion. I’m guessing she’s going to the hospital to take care of her daughter.” Josiah was even more furious. “She left? Who allowed her to do so?” “Sir, Miss Meredith has already resigned,” Lily immediately said. She secretly cast a glance at Josiah and said cautiously, “Sir, even if it was Miss Meredith who drugged you, it is because of her feelings for you. How could you…do that to her?” Josiah’s expression darkened but he said nothing. Ysabelle secretly glared at Lily, but on the surface, she smiled and said, “Lily, you know how Josiah is. He doesn’t like being manipulated . Furthermore , if Josiah likes Meredith, he will get her to stay and give her a chance to get pregnant. She did not need to set him up.”
Ysabelle secretly glanced at Josiah’s gloomy handsome face, she continued,” Furthermore, back then, it was Meredith who wanted to marry Josiah. Look at what happened? She still had an affair with another man. You can see that she has never loved Josiah. She only wanted to be Mrs. Shelby.”
Lily looked at her confusedly, “Miss Ysabelle , Miss Meredith is your sister. How could you say that about her?”
Ysabelle was speechless. She glared at Lily and said, “It’s because she’s my sister which is why I’m embarrassed about her actions. After all, her illegitimate child with Yoel Harper not only humiliates the Shelbys but us Leightons too…”
“Enough!” Josiah stabbed the knife and fork into the table with a clang.
Ysabelle was mentally prepared for him to throw a tantrum in a fit of rage, but she still jumped at his reaction. She knew that Josiah would be enraged upon hearing Yoel’s name, yet she still ricked it over and over again to mention it in front of him. Her only intention was to remind him about the incident Meredith had with Yoel! She was afraid that he might forget about it one day and stop hating Meredith anymore. “I’m sorry, Josiah. I shouldn’t have mentioned that man…” Ysabelle looked frightened. Her eyes reddened.
At the same time, he said, “Alfred. I’m going to say it once more. We don’t accept guests here!”
“Understood , Sir.” Alfred bowed and sent Josiah off before turning to Ysabelle and saying coldly, “I’m sorry, Miss Ysabelle. Please leave.”
Ysabelle clutched the knife and fork in her hand embarrassedly and disappointingly.
