In a luxurious villa.Meredith Leighton tumbled down the stairs from the second floor and her head hit the railings before she finally landed at the bottom of the stairs."If anything happens to Yena, I will have your entire family buried next to hers!" A man taunted cruelly.With her limbs sprawled across the stairs and blood tracing down her forehead, Meredith put her hands over the wound on her forehead as she pleaded, "Joe, you have to believe that I didn't harm Yena in any way. I really didn't…""Meredith, please stop denying it. There is video evidence of you cheating on Josiah with Yoel Harper in Yena’s phone," Ysabelle Layne sobbed and went on, "Meredith, how could you kill someone just because you're afraid of your dirty affairs being exposed? Yena is our best friend!""I didn't," explained Meredith. The blow to her head was likely a concussion and lead to her feeling disorientated.However, she mustered up all the energy that she had left in her and crawled toward where

Ysabelle flipped the meal tray upside down, dumping all the food onto the floor as she smirked and sneered, "Since you won't be able to hold cutleries anyway, you can just eat off the floor."Ysabelle then left the basement.Looking at her bruised and bloody hands that were trembling, Meredith could not even find the strength to pick up food from the floor, let alone use cutleries.Since last night, from the time Meredith was drugged and put in bed with Yoel, followed by the incident with Yena…she had not taken even a sip of water.She was starving but the pain that she felt had made her forget about the hunger.However, Meredith refused to be defeated this way. She had to walk out of the basement alive to tell Josiah that her feelings for him were real and that she was being framed.Meredith was determined to make Ysabelle pay for what she had done.Using all the strength left in her, Meredith moved toward the food that remained on the floor. Just when she was about to take a b

Looking at Meredith who was lying lifelessly on the hospital bed, Finn uttered carefully, "Josiah, she's willing to risk her own life to save Yena's, are you really sure that…there isn't some kind of misunderstanding?""I've seen the video. There's no mistake." Looking irritated, Josiah frowned and added, "Doctor Finn, cut the nonsense and just tell me if she's going to die."Giving up on trying to persuade Josiah, Finn simply shrugged and answered, "The test results are not back yet."As soon as he finished his sentence, a nurse entered the patient ward with the test results. With a serious tone, she said, "Mister Josiah, Doctor Finn, the test results show that Miss Meredith is pregnant."Josiah's eyes lit up briefly upon hearing the nurse's remarks.However, the light in his eyes dimmed immediately and in an aloof manner, he asked, "What did you say?"Finn took the test report from the nurse and scanned through the report quickly before concluding, "Congratulations, Josiah! Mis

Hence, no. She would not."Why? Are you worried about your boyfriend? Or are you worried that that child of yours wouldn't have a father?""No, it's not like that…" Meredith shook her head, dropped the knife on the floor, tugged at the corners of Josiah's shirt, and pleaded, "Joe, I can't do it, I need to stay alive to take care of our kid…""Get your dirty hands off me," Josiah hissed. He was feeling suffocated as he recalled the video and how Meredith and Yoel were hugging each other and were about to escape.With all the strength in him, Josiah pushed Meredith off him.Meredith's head hit the corner of a table with a loud bang and she passed out immediately.Josiah did not even take another look at Meredith but instead glanced coldly at Yoel who was cowering at a corner.Yoel let out a painful shriek after getting furiously kicked by Josiah."Guys, get in here!" Josiah shouted.A few bodyguards rushed into the room."I don't care how you do it, just make sure that he is de

"You…you will pay for what you did!" Meredith cried out."If there's really karma, it should be you, the cold-hearted and ignorant Miss Leighton who deserves to be punished!"All these years, my mom and I have been walking on eggshells around you. Now it's time for you to get a taste of how it feels like," Ysabelle seethed and continued, "If it isn't because of Josiah who needs to use your blood to save Yena, I wouldn't even have kept you alive!"Ysabelle then removed her high heel from Meredith's hand.She then walked out of the room and said to the two working staff standing guard at the door, "You've heard what Director Josiah had said earlier, right? Do everything you can to tame her, but keep her alive.""Yes, Miss Ysabelle," answered the staff as they glanced at Meredith with looks of disdain on their face.Almost everyone was criticizing Meredith.After all, she was the first person who dared to cheat on Josiah, and even carried an illegitimate child.Meredith wanted to
