Three years ago, Meredith was not her match and to this day, she was still not a good match for her.
“Exactly. How could someone at this age still be this evil and scheming? She should be taught a lesson by the law,” Ysabelle looked at Josiah and asked, “what do you say, Josiah?” “I agree,” replied Josiah. Even though her entire body was quivering in anger, at the thought of Nia who was left all alone in the hospital, Alayna bit down on her anger and said to Ysabelle, “Ysabelle, it’s my fault, I should have been more careful. Would you be so kind-hearted to forgive me? Please…”
“Aunt Alayna, if you’d chosen to admit to your wrongdoing at the beginning instead of accusing me of having an intent to kill, I wouldn’t even have called the cops,” Ysabelle added,” If I were to let you go this time, what happens if you end up being more aggressive toward me?
“Ysabelle…” Alayna dropped onto her knees and begged, “Ysabelle, please, I’m begging you… let me go this once…”
“Mom.” At the sight of her mother on her knees, begging for Ysabelle’s forgiveness, Meredith went over to get her off the floor. “Mom, are you crazy? Why are you kneeling when you did nothing wrong?” Meredith did not mind kneeling down in front of Josiah. She did not care about leaving her pride and dignity aside but she would not tolerate her mother being humiliated this way.
“Edith, leave me alone…” Alayna shook her head.
“Mom, no! Stop it!” Meredith shouted in despair.
