“Yo, look at you go. You must be confident that you‘re winning huh,” said one of the men.
“Duh,” Quinley retorted.
“So? Everything on the news fake?” The women started asking.
Quinley scoffed, “I told you, right? Unless Josiah is sick in the head, if not, he
wouldn‘t like a disfigured monster like her.”
“Exactly. Josiah only agreed to marry her because of her pretty face. Now that she‘s
disfigured, why would he keep a living nightmare next to him?”
“So, Josiah only took her back, gave her flowers, and even fed her to maintain his
image as a good husband?”
“Yeah. I‘m guessing it‘s all for the reputation of his company.”
“What was she doing when you met her earlier?” One of them asked, curious.
“She was doing chores in the kitchen.” “Huh? How sad.” “That‘s more to it.” Quinley desperately
wanted to
replay everything that she saw earlier. “She walked me out of the house and was
surrounded by a group of reporters asking her questions about Nia Foundation. She got triggered and
started shouting crazily.” “Which media company dared to interview her?”Everyone knew that Josiah had made it clear to all media companies not to publish anything regarding
the Shelby family matters.
For the sake of their company, no one dared to provoke or go against Josiah‘s orders.
“It was part of my plan,” Quinley flashed a smug smile and went on, “those were fake reporters. I only
wanted to check if Meredith had really gone crazy.”
The group was startled, but quickly, they exclaimed, “Damn, Quinley, you still have it in you, don‘t you?
Cruel and ruthless.”
“You sound as if you‘re not happy to see Meredith this way.”
“Of course we‘re happy,” The ladies exclaimed.
They hated and resented how Meredith used to be the center of attention wherever she went.
Especially when she got married to Josiah, Meredith shone brighter than anyone
else. Meredith‘s presence dimmed the spotlight on the ladies who were also
socialites and from wealthy backgrounds.
What irked them the most was that Meredith had always been ignorant. No matter
how much they tried to please Meredith, she would always think less of them. And for the sake of
getting in Meredith‘s favor, they
had to change themselves so that Meredith would accept them.
“Oh, let me tell you something hilarious,” Quinley pulled into another smug smile and went on. “Guess
what I told Meredith who Nia was when she went all crazy after hearing the name? I told her that Niawas the name of her pet dog, and she actually believed me, and she calmed down after that. Haha,
isn‘t it hilarious?”
A burst of laughter filled the room.
Neither of them thought that the once ignorant and prideful Meredith would end up
like this.

Lily did not dare to tell Josiah about what happened earlier. Josiah‘s grandmother did not say a word to
him as well and only reprimanded Lily for letting Meredith leave the house all on her own.
Lily apologized and promised, “Ma’am, I will be more careful next time.” “Mm, get
back to your work.” Josiah‘s grandmother noticed Meredith who was sitting
absentmindedly on the sofa and called out to her, “Edith dear, where are the cookies
that you baked? Aren‘t you going to let me try them?“|| Meredith though looked up,
tared at her, and asked, “Granny, is Nia really just a dog? Is it a pretty dog?” “Mm…you loved her a lot.
She is one pretty dog,” Josiah‘s grandmother had no choice but
novelbinto go on with the made–up story.
Since Meredith had accepted that Nia was her dog, Josiah‘s grandmother could only go on with the
story. “Can I get another dog then?”
“Do you want to?”“Mm, I‘ll call Josiah right now.” Meredith reached for her phone and Josiah‘s
grandmother immediately stopped her, “Joe might still be on the airplane. He might
only touch down by midnight.”
