Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 86

“Where are your bruises? Show me, then I’ll believe you.”

Meredith was speechless. Ysabelle slapped her on the injured side of her face. There was no bruise to show him.

“I saw the footage of you pushing her to the wall. I saw the injuries on her head today too.” Josiah bent down and looked at her closely once more. “Meredith, do you think there is still a reason for you to talk to me?”

Meredith panicked.

Just because she hit Ysabelle, so she did not have a chance to speak at all? “Mister Josiah…” Meredith shook her head with difficulty, she tried to calm herself down. “I can’t explain myself about Ysabelle. You won’t believe me either, but my mother can’t go to prison. Her health is terrible. She passed out in the hospital a few days ago.”

“Shouldn’t you tell all this to Ysabelle?”

If it worked with Ysabelle, she would not have come to plead with him, even forced herself to drink so much alcohol. “I know that you are close to Ysabelle, Mister Josiah. As long as you help me, I’m sure Ysabelle will forgive my mother.” “If you were not such a b*tch in beating Ysabelle up last night, perhaps, she might even forgive you, but now…” He sneered and said, “I’m not sure she will.”

“Mister Josiah, what do I need to do for you to help me?” Meredith held his knees and gently shook them. Her tears streamed down her face. “As long as you say it, I’ll do it.”

“Stop crying.” He looked at her tear-stricken face with disgust. He hated that she used tears as a weapon, yet it was a tried-and-true method for him.

Meredith immediately wiped her tears away and stopped her tears from falling. To go on stage, she wore eye makeup. At that moment, the tears smudged her make-up terribly.
