Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 8

Feeling exhausted, Josiah pinched the center of his eyebrows, got up from his office chair, and was about to get off work.

Josiah’s assistant, Mister Wesley, knocked on his door before entering his office. He then reported, “Sir, the matter regarding Yoel Harper has been wrapped up.”

Josiah simply nodded and added, “I don’t want to hear of him anymore from this minute onward.”

“Yes, sir,” Mister Wesley nodded.

Just when Mister Wesley was about to leave, Ysabelle was seen heading toward his director, looking all anxious. She said, “Josiah, Meredith had escaped from the hospital, I think she’s going to find Yoel.”

Mister Wesley tried to shift his eyes rapidly to Ysabelle but before Ysabelle could get his hint, Josiah grabbed a glass on his desk, threw it at Ysabelle’s legs, and growled, “How many times do I need to repeat myself? I said I don’t want to hear that bastard’s name!”

Josiah was furious that Yoel had the audacity to sleep with his wife. Hence, just the mention of the bastard’s name was enough to make Josiah want to kill him over and over again.

Ysabelle was startled. Softly, she added, “I’m sorry, Josiah. I’m only worried that Meredith would do something stupid to herself.”

“I will bury her entire family next to her if she dares to die!” Josiah seethed as he walked out of his office.

It was obvious that Josiah would not let Meredith die that easily.

Keeping up with Josiah’s footsteps, Mister Wesley made a call to make sure that they locate Meredith in the shortest time possible.

Pressing her lips together, Ysabelle quickly followed behind them.

Josiah was now on the floor where his car was parked. The driver quickly opened the door for him.

It was at the moment when a messy and haggard-looking woman came out from behind the bushes.

At the sight of her, Josiah furrowed his brows as he looked at her in disdain and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“There you are, Meredith,” said Ysabelle as she walked toward Meredith looking all concerned. However, she was abruptly pulled into Josiah’s arms when she passed by him.

“Meredith Leighton, hear me when I say that even if Yena is dead, there is no way that I’ll have you as my wife.”

Even though Ysabelle knew that Josiah was only using her to trigger Meredith, she was still pleased.

This was the first time that she was able to be this physically close to Josiah.

Ysabelle stood closer to Josiah and flashed a smug grin at Meredith.

Meredith ignored her. Instead, she started walking toward them with slow steps as her body was still aching. She came to a stop in front of them and said politely, “Joe, I’m here to apologize.”

“Apologize?” Josiah sniggered coldly and added, “And I thought that our high and mighty Miss Leighton never apologizes.”

“No. I am sorry,” said Meredith as she inched closer and closer to Josiah and continued, “I’m sorry that I cheated on you with Yoel, I’m sorry that I’m carrying Yoel’s children, I’m sorry that I tried to kill Yena to hide my secret, I’m sorry for everything…”

With a change of the look in her eyes, she took out a knife from her pocket and aimed at Josiah’s chest, catching Josiah off guard.

Ysabelle reacted quickly and pushed Josiah away. “Look out!”

But the knife somehow ended up on Josiah’s shoulders.

“But Josiah Shelby, you’re the one who needs to die!” Meredith started laughing maniacally, “You killed my child, I need to avenge his death, I…ah!”
