Chapter 769 Staring at the woman that he had been yearning and missing for the last two years, Josiah felt his entire body tensing up as he could not seem to move his eyes away from her. Inwardly, he regretted and blamed himself for losing such a wonderful woman. Meredith walked toward him and came to a stop in front of him. Tugging at the corner of her lips, she greeted, “It’s been a while, Mister Josiah.”
Josiah was still staring dazedly at her. It was as if he was worried that he would say something or do something that would make Meredith run away from him again.
“This is a rather good wine, ain’t it?” Before Josiah could even say anything, she picked up the bottle of wine on the table and said, “I remember that this bottle of Lafete cost about two hundred thousand dollars eight years ago, right?”
Followed by a loud clang, the bottle of red wine dropped onto the floor and shattered into pieces.
“Oh no, my bad!” Meredith pretended as if she was anxious. She then looked at Josiah and said, “Please don’t tell me that you want me to compensate for such an expensive bottle of wine.”
The onlookers inhaled sharply.
They were dumbfounded by the fact that Meredith actually had the nerves to break such an expensive bottle of wine.
They also recalled how she was forced to sleep with customers just to compensate for the broken bottle of wine.
Josiah finally stood up from the couch, stepped over the shattered pieces of wine bottle on the floor, and came to a stop in front of Meredith. With his arm wrapped around her waist, he smiled, “It’s okay, you don’t have to pay back for anything as long as you’re happy.”
Meredith slapped him across his face.
And she moved away from him. “Please have some respect, Mister Josiah!”
Josiah froze.
He was slapped across the face in front of so many people and of course, Josiah would feel embarrassed. He could even hear the gossiping coming from the onlookers.
But he was not used at all.
