Chapter 1052 Right before the bottle reached her, Josiah pulled Meredith into his arms.
With a loud thump, the bottle landed on Josiah‘s forehead and blood started running down his face. Seeing how she
had got the wrong person and that Josiah was hurt instead, the lady was panic–stricken. Meredith only slowly came
back to her senses when she noticed the blood that was dripping on the back of her hands. Startled, she
immediately looked up at Josiah. “Josiah, you...” Aghast, Meredith stared blankly at his forehead which was bleeding
non–stop. Did he save her from being hit by the perfume bottle? “What are you doing? Who asked you to step in?”
In a panic, the first thing that came out of Meredith‘s mouth was to scold Josiah. Josiah, on the other hand, looked
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtas if he could not feel any pain and simply furrowed his brows a little. He then reached for a bunch of napkins on
the desk and wiped away the blood. Mister Wesley quickly came over. “Sir, it looks like a pretty deep cut. We should
get you to the hospital right away.” Josiah ignored him and turned to glare coldly at the group of people who were
causing a scene.
The crowd flinched at his cold glare.
“Are you guys done?” Still, staring at them, he hissed, “Do you think that you‘re doing something noble? Using
justice as an excuse to smash someone else‘s counter and to break other people‘s product?”
Josiah was holding onto Meredith‘s shoulders tightly and anyone could see how important Meredith was to him.
And on his wrist was the seashells bracelet that was similar to the one that was on Meredith‘s wrist.
And this was already enough to provoke the group of people.
The leader of the group said to Josiah, “Mister Josiah, are you even reflecting on the things that you‘ve done? Mister
Charlie is after all your cousin brother, and do you think what you‘re doing right now is appropriate? Don‘t you think
you‘re too cruel?”
Meredith wanted to say something but Josiah pressed down lightly on her shoulder.
Then, Josiah replied, “Well, can you tell me what relationship you have with Mister Charlie? And how much do you
even know about the things that the three of us went through? I‘m sure neither of you knows how much Meredith
has sacrificed for Mister Charlie, am I right?” “All we know is that Mister Charlie passed away because his wife keeps
getting involved with you.” “Oh really? Well, let me tell you something. Mister Charlie died because he protected
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeredith,” Josiah went on coldly, “I also want to tell you that you‘re bullying the woman that Charlie had used his
life to protect. If Charlie knows about this, I‘m sure he‘ll be heartbroken and aggrieved, and he would throw every
single one of you in jail.”
“And you,” Josiah pointed at the leader and said, “should I bring this to the station to check if you‘re really doing it
for Charlie‘s sake or whether you‘re being paid to do this? Should we get to the bottom of this?” Blood was
immediately drained from the woman‘s face.
It was obvious that she was feeling guilty.
In the meantime, Meredith spoke up, “I understand what you‘re feeling and I do accept your criticisms, I...”
“Edith, you didn‘t do anything wrong.” Josiah cut her off and pulled her closer toward him.
