Chapter 872
Meredith pushed away his hands and said, “What about money? I can give you money.”
“Seems like someone’s business is doing well these days, huh? But too bad for you, do I look like someone who needs money?”
Indeed. Why would a CEO like Josiah need money?
Meredith would only be humiliating herself if she insisted on talking about money with Josiah.
Meredith started to feel annoyed. “Josiah Shelby, tell me then, what do I need to do for you to forgive Charlie?”
She had to get out of this place soon in case Charlie misunderstood her again.
“As I said earlier, kiss me until I’m satisfied,” Josiah paused before giving her another option, “or, come back to me.”
“No! I can’t do either!”
“Then, there’s nothing left for us to talk about.”
Josiah let go of her, turned around, and was about to leave.
Out of desperation, Meredith grabbed him by his wrist and said, “Don’t go, Josiah, …”
Gritting her teeth, Meredith wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips against his.
In any case, she was already kissed him earlier and she did not have to act saintly anymore.
If Josiah was willing to forgive Charlie after this kiss, she was willing to do it if it meant that this would put a full stop to their feud.
But she did not expect that right when she kissed Josiah, Charlie had shown up at the door of the fire exit stairway.
At the sight of the both of them kissing, Charlie froze.
Meredith too, froze slightly as the blood drained from her face.
If he had not seen it for himself, he would never have believed that Edith would do such a thing.
“It was because…”
“It’s because you’re a b*tch!” Charlie then slapped Meredith across her face.
Meredith, who was initially kneeling down in front of Charlie, was caught off guard by Charlie’s sudden attack and she fell backward down the stairs.
“Edith!” Josiah quickly reached out, wanting to grab her but he was too late.
Meredith started rolling down the stairs.
Josiah quickly ran down the stairs, wanting to stop her, but he could only grab the corner of her shirt.
Meredith finally came to a stop. She was cowering and quivering in fear as blood started seeping through her hair.
“Edith!” Josiah saw the blood stains on the floor and he was shocked to his core. Charlie did not expect that he pushed Meredith so hard to the point that she would fall over the stairs.
