Chapter 53
“I don’t blame you.” Josiah looked at Meredith on the floor coldly. “Miss Meredith wanted to run away. No one could stop her. I hope there isn’t a next time. I mean it.” He lifted Meredith’s chin once again and looked at her indifferently. “You hear me?”
He squeezed Meredith until it hurt. Meredith’s eyes were wet.
“Now, go drink with the customers.” He flung her violently to the ground.
Josiah got up from the sofa. Before he left, he said to Miss Josie, “Keep an eye on her.”
“Yes, Mister Josiah,” Miss Josie replied with a nod.
The moment Josiah left, Miss Josie said to Meredith helplessly, “Merelyn. Since you have a feud with Mister Josiah, can you just try to be better? Don’t drag me down.”
Meredith looked at her with tears in her eyes. “Miss Josie, can you help me? I did not break that bottle of wine. If you don’t pay me, my daughter…”
“Enough, stop talking about your daughter constantly,” Miss Josie said angrily, “you know better than anyone else what Mister Josiah is like. Do you think I can help you? My biggest mistake was to get you to cover a shift at the VIP room out of kindness, which offended Mister Josiah and brought trouble upon myself.”
Meredith shut up.
It looked like even Miss Josie did not dare to help her anymore. What should she do? What could she do?
Was she to secretly escape Jehovah City and stay away from that devil? Once this thought was planted in her head, it was hard to wipe it away.
Meredith started thinking of what she should do to earn enough money to run away. After all, it cost a lot to transfer Nia to another hospital.
