Chapter 599
Inside was already filled with guests. Josiah had his arm around her while exchanging pleasantries with other guests with a wine glass in his hand. Meredith was by his side, like a pre-programmed robot, smiling, raising her glass, and drinking… The only difference from her silly past was that she almost recognized all the famous people there. Her actions and words were no longer that crazy either. Everyone was still as fawning and flattering to her as usual. She knew that it was because of Josiah.
“Change to a fruit juice, don’t get yourself drunk,” Josiah muttered closely in her ear.
Meredith refused to heed his advice, she even deliberately said to the man opposite her,” Mister Leon, it has been a while. Thank you for looking out for me back then.”
Then, she downed the red wine in her glass in front of Josiah.
Mister Leon immediately followed suit. He praised her and said, “Mrs. Shelby, you hold your alcohol very well! Not bad, not bad.” Josiah was speechless. Meredith was openly defying him.
Meredith held her glass and immediately said to the other man, “Mister Zach, hello! I’m Meredith. Let me raise my glass to you.” Mister Zach was a little surprised by the honor. He nodded and started drinking.
When Meredith found her next target, Josiah immediately pulled her back in her arms and said
in her ears, “I’ll take you to the lounge to have a rest.” “Okay, thank you, hubby.” Meredith was already a little drunk. She smiled sweetly at him.
She could not ask for more! After all, being secretly observed by others with a weird gaze, and having to pretend to keep up a smile was a torturing thing. Josiah brought her to the lounge and placed her down on the sofa. He passed her a small booklet. “See what you like here. I’ll bid for it and give it to you.” Meredith swept a glance at the booklet of antique jewelry. She shook her head. “No. I don’t want anything!” “Why? I remember that you used to like things like this in the past.” In the past? How carefree and happy she was back then. However, at that moment… Meredith pushed away the booklet. “I only want Nia. I don’t want anything else!” Josiah was not angry. He flipped through the booklet and pointed at an emerald hairpin. “This suits you. Do you like it?”
