Chapter 229
“Shall I make a guess why you’re not admitting that I am the father of the child?” Josiah pretended that he was thinking hard before replying, “You knew that I would never allow you to carry my child and you’re worried that I’d force you to get rid of the child. As long as you’re able to get away with it for nine months, I’d not be able to do anything to you because I will not kill a newborn. And, you’d be able to take the child with you to meet my grandmother, am I right?”
Staring at his face that was brimming with confidence , Meredith tugged at the corners of her lips and snickered, “Josiah Shelby, it’s such a waste that you’re not a scriptwriter. Let me tell you one last time, this child is not yours.”
“Well, just one test and we’ll find out.”
“Oh really?” Meredith pretended to be surprised. “I didn’t think that you’d know that we have something called the paternity test. Because if you did, you’d have done a paternity test with Nia instead of forcing me to get rid of Nia.”
Josiah narrowed his eyes. “I’ve seen the paternity test results with Nia.”
“Yeah? That paternity test results could have been manipulated too.” Meredith added, “But aren’t you worried that I’d get someone to manipulate the paternity test results this time too?”
“You don’t have the resources and capability to do so.”
“You’re right. I am not the young ma’am of the Leighton family anymore. Ysabelle has all the power and influence now.”
“Meredith Leighton, stop blaming everything on Ysabelle!” Josiah was irritated by Meredith’s cold and indifferent tone.
Cutting right to the chase, Josiah threw a box of pills on Meredith. “I’ll give you two days to get rid of that child. If not, I will force it down your throat like how I did years ago.”
Meredith was startled.
She looked down at the box of pills in her hand. Just like she expected, Josiah was still the same now and then. He would not allow her to carry any of children.
That year, he had forced the pills down her throat but today, he simply threw the boxcf pills at her. It was the same scene and it hurt Meredith the same.
