Chapter 870
Because she was dragged forcefully, Meredith crashed right into Josiah’s arms.
“Josiah Shelby. you…” She was trying to resist him when Josiah already dragged her into the fire exit staircase.
Her back was pushed against the wall and the next thing she knew, Josiah had crashed his lips against
hers.
She was used to him forcing himself onto her but like every time, she started resisting him instinctively.
She tried to push him away with her hands but Josiah had her hands locked above her head.
She then tried to kick him with her legs but her legs too were locked between his.
In the end, she had no other choice but to bite down on his lips.
She could start to taste the blood in her mouth but Josiah continued kissing her as if he felt no pain.
It was as if he was trying to kiss her to stop her from resisting.
And of course, Meredith knew him the best
For the sake of wanting him to stop, Meredith had to stop fighting him.
And indeed, when she stopped resisting, he removed his lips from hers. Meredith could feel his cold breath on her face.
“Is this fun to you?” Josiah seethed through his gritted teeth.
Josiah’s face was too close to Meredith’s and she had no choice but to look away. She then said, “Josiah Shelby, even if you don’t care about how I feel, you should at least care about the injuries you have on you.
Not only was his head injured, but his legs were injured too. Meredith was aghast that his injuries did not stop him from coming onto her.
“Meredith Leighton, why don’t you drop the act, huh?” Josiah taunted, “Why? Do you want me to kiss you again?”
Meredith unconsciously licked her lips and realized that his blood was on her lips.
“Charlie Larson staged an accident and got me injured, and he has the nerves to show you off in front of me. Meredith Leighton, do you really think that I would feel nothing at all? Do you think that this won’t hurt or hurt me at all?”
“No,” Meredith hesitated as she did not know what to say, “it’s a misunderstanding, Josiah. We are not showing off and Charlie…had nothing to do with the accident.”
Josiah was staring at her furiously. He looked like a triggered but injured lion.
“For the sake of protecting him, you’re willing to tell lies,” He scoffed coldly, “back then when you decided that I was the one who injured Charlie, you didn’t even give me the chance to explain myself and simply slapped and hit me however you wish. You even tore me down with your words. But you’re protecting and taking his side now? Meredith Leighton, since when did you become this cold and selfish?”
“1…” Meredith gnawed on her lips and said, “fine, Josiah Shelby. Even if Charlie did stage the accident, it was a misunderstanding because he thought that it was you who got him into that accident. Plus, you’ve been bothering me for the past weeks and Quinley, that brat, tried to drive a wedge between us. That was why he thought of getting back at you without thinking it through.
“That day… Quinley went to see him and said something to him. I’m guessing that he’s got a lot of resentment built up in him,” Staring at Josiah, Meredith went on, “Josiah Shelby, I have a favor to ask of you. Do you have the evidence for Quinley’s crimes? If so, please lock her up in jail so that she would stop causing trouble.” She then looked away.
