Chapter 421 Eight to ten years was definitely not a short time. “Yeah, I didn’t expect that Josiah would love you this
much, to the point that he was willing to put Maeve in hell just to protect you.” Quinley wiped away her tears and
said, “I went to see Maeve the other day and she broke down and even got on her knees, begging me to save her.
She said she was wrong and would never make rash decisions anymore.”
Quinley then secretly observed Meredith’s reaction.
Meredith paused a while before responding, “For a young lady, eight to ten years is indeed a bit too much.” “Yes,
and that is why Maeve broke down and even got onto her knees,” Quinley added, “but of course, she was not
begging me for mercy, she was begging you instead.”
“Me?”

course. But she could not see you so she asked me to help her and talk to you instead.”
Quinley held Meredith’s hands tightly and said, “Meredith, for the sake of our old times, help her out, won’t you?”
“But…how could I possibly help her?”
“Josiah loves you a lot and he listens to you as well. I’m sure he’ll let Macve go if you put in a few words for Maeve,”
Quinley stole glances at Meredith’s reaction before going on,” Meredith, Maeve only did what she did because she
cares about you, and she wanted to help you get back your memories.”
Quinley did not feel bad for Maeve nor did she care about how spending eight to ten years in jail would affect
Maeve.
She only did Maeve a favor as she was worried that Maeve would do as she threatened her back then – coming
clean about everything to Josiah.
She was doing it for herself. Meredith paused and said, “Okay, I’ll try to talk to Joe.” “You will?” Quinley exclaimed,
“Are you really willing to help Maeve? I’ll go bring her the good news right away. I’m sure she’d be really happy and
grateful.” “I’ll see what I can do.”
“Okay,” The smile on Quinely’s face faded a little as she said, “but…Meredith, can you please not let Josiah know
that I was here today? He doesn’t want us near you.”
“Okay.”
Meredith hesitated and said, “But I’m not allowed to be interacting with outsiders, and if I do bring up Maeve, he’ll
know right away that I’ve met with you.”
“Ah you’re right, what should we do?” Quinley bit down hard on her lips and said, “What if we tell him that Maeve’s
mother came to find you and had asked you for help?” “Okay.” “You’re a kind person, Meredith,” Quinley held her
hands tightly in hers and said, “the next time you need our help, Maeve and I promise to do everything that we can

“I’m glad that you think that way, Meredith.” Quinley was worried that people would start talking if she stayed
around longer. “I should leave now. I’ll see you soon, Meredith.”
“Sure.”
“Meredith, I’ll buy you a meal some other time. Let’s have Maeve join us too,” Quinley went on, “and don’t worry,
we will not bring up a word about the past.” “Okay.”
“I’ll get going now.” Quinley walked away but stopped to turn and look toward the garden. There, Meredith started
picking up the paintbrush and started to paint. She was back to being calm and peaceful.
Inwardly, Quinley thought, ‘Women who receive a lot of love seem as if they do not have any worries.’ And just like
that, jealousy started welling up in her chest.
