Chapter 403
“Quinley, you have to save me.” Maeve softened her tone and started pleading with Quinley.” Quinley. You can’t just leave me here and do nothing. It’s because of you…that I fell for Josiah’s trap. I…” “Miss Xander!” Quinley interrupted her and quickly swept a glance at the staff nearby. She said, “What do you mean it was because of me? You were the one who had ill intentions toward Josiah. You even secretly followed him to the resort to make trouble.”
Maeve was stunned. Then, she nodded, “Yes, yes. It’s all my fault. I was greedy and evil. I now know I was wrong. Can you help me, please?” “I can’t help you,” Quinley said impatiently, “I already said that this is Josiah’s case. He has already put out the word. Whoever dared to help you meant that they were going up against him. Miss Xander, take care. I’m leaving.”
Then, Quinley was about to leave. When Maeve realized that pleading would not work, she went the tough way. “Miss Allison, since you’re not willing to help me, I can only ask to see Mister Josiah.” Sure enough, her words made Quinley stop in her tracks. She coldly looked at her. “What do you mean by that?”.
“Why do you need to ask the obvious, Miss Allison?” Maeve sneered, “If you don’t mind, I won’t mind telling all the others here about your…” “Shut up!” Quinley interrupted her furiously.
“What? Are you scared?” Maeve smiled even more maliciously. She deliberately enunciated,” The bank transfer of four million dollars. All I need to do is tell Josiah where it came from.”
Quinley started to pale…
“Let me remind you that a person like Josiah does not care about reason or its process. He only cares whether Meredith was hurt. He would not care about you. He would only want you dead. Just like how he hunted down my family.”
If it were not for Maeve being locked up, Quinley would think that she was just trying to intimidate her.
However, Maeve was a living example herself. Quinley glared at her. She knew that Maeve calling to see her would not be that simple.
She secretly gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t worry. I will try to help you as best I can, but I must warn you. My abilities have their limits. Whether I can help you or not is up to Josiah’s attitude.”
“No worries. If you can’t help me, I’ll drag you down with me.”
