Chapter 73

But of course, there was no way that the bodyguards would let her leave that easily.

After the bodyguards got their hands on her, Meredith could only change her strategy. Sobbing, she
pleaded with them, “My daughter is missing. Please let me go and find her. I promise that I’ll return
once I find her, I promise…” The two bodyguards were already annoyed at her. “Miss Meredith, stop
using your daughter as an excuse to escape. Let me make this clear, if you need anything, talk to
Mister Josiah yourself. We only take orders from Mister Josiah.”

“I…” Meredith shook her head and said, “but I couldn’t reach him.”

When in fact, she did not dare to call Josiah because she knew that it would be more difficult
to plead with Josiah than with the guards. Plus, with Josiah’s hatred for her and Nia, it was almost
impossible that Josiah would agree to let her go. “I really can’t stay here any longer, if not, my
daughter’s life will be in danger. Please, I’m begging you!” Down on her knees, Meredith was crying her
heart out. “Sir.” She suddenly heard someone calling i Lifting up her head abruptly, through her tears,
Meredith could vaguely see Josiah walking into the room.

Quickly wiping away the tears with the back of her hand, Meredith wanted to make sure that it was
really Josiah that she was seeing.

It was Josiah indeed.

Meredith immediately threw herself at his knees. Wrapping her arms around his leg, she begged, “Joe,
please let me go….please stop tormenting me this way, I really can’t be locked up here.”

Josiah scanned the surroundings. Even though there were not a lot of people around in the clubhouse
around this time, Josiah was agitated by her willingness to lower herself. “You want to get out of here?”
Josiah snickered as he looked down at Meredith whose face was covered in tears. Sobbing, Meredith
nodded. “Nia is missing. I have to go find her.” “Why are you that worried about that b*stard’s child? To



the point that you don’t even care about how stupid you look right now.” “Joe, but she’s your daughter.”
“Meredith Leighton!” Josiah wrapped his hands around her neck suddenly, lifting her up from

Earlier, the b*stard’s child had told her that Meredith said he was not her father.

And now she was willing to lie that the child was his just to escape Luna Club? He hated how he was
being made into a fool. Meredith could only glare at him as her face slowly turned red from his tight grip
around her neck. “…” Meredith managed to squeeze out a word, “I won’t say it anymore. Please…let
go of me.” Meredith could not afford to die as she still had to look for Nia.

Josiah swung her back to the floor.

“Mister Josiah…” Meredith crawled back to him, wrapped her arms around his leg, and begged again,
“my daughter is missing, please let me go find her. I promise that I’ll return here right away as soon as I
find her, please?”

Adjusting his outfit, Josiah said coldly, “Don’t worry, that child is not missing.” “What…what did you
say?” Meredith was startled. “That child of yours came to look for me in the VIP room, asking me if I am
her father. Would you like to guess what happened next?”
