Chapter 1222
Meredith lightly shook her head. "It's not too much.
"Josiah, from today onwards, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do anymore. I also won't push you
to another woman anymore."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"I'll only believe you if you kiss me," Josiah said.
He dodged when she kissed him just now because he was angry.
At that moment, after he already heard what she said, he was filled with joy and anticipation.
Meredith hesitated a little, then she lifted her head to kiss him on his lips. "Is this enough?"
"You're not allowed to regret this." Josiah lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeredith was speechless.
The sounds of them passionately bonding together could vaguely be heard coming from the study. When Mrs.
Shelby heard it, she was so pissed off that her face became even paler.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" asked the maid with concern.
Mrs. Shelby did not answer her question, she closed her eyes for a little while, turned around, and walked down the
stairs.
She did not return to her bedroom on the first floor to rest. Instead, she came to the basement at the annex.
The basement at the annex has always been deserted, and even the lights appeared to be especially dim and eerie.
When Ivy, who was crawling on the floor, heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately crawl on all fours toward
Mrs. Shelby, then she begged her while tugging at her pants, "Mrs. Shelby, I really didn't do it on purpose. I'm
begging you, please let me go out. I'll certainly work harder next time. I certainly would work hard!"
"Didn't do it on purpose?" Mrs. Shelby scanned at the stripes of blood stains on her white clothes and sneered. "Why
didn't Meredith leave the mansion last night? why did you go into the study? Do you think you can fool me by saying
that you've accidentally fallen asleep?"
"Mrs. Shelby, I truly fell asleep by accident." Ivy shook her head. "I also have no idea why Meredith didn’t leave the
mansion, she clearly said she would leave."
"Miss Landers, seven years ago, you’ve already done what you've done last night, haven't you?" Mrs. Shelby picked
up the whip in the corner and whipped Ivy, who then screamed miserably in pain.
Immediately after, she was whipped a second time. Mrs. Shelby's tone became even colder, "B*tch, who do you
think you are to fight with me? Go on and cry then. If you cry a little louder and you attracted Josiah to come over,
you can just directly bury your little b*stard's body."
"No, Mrs. Shelby, no..." Ivy was in so much pain that she was shaking all over, but she could only grit her teeth and
forced herself to endure it.
She did not want to get Josiah to come over. Even if she were to die in pain, she also could not let him come over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Mrs. Shelby vented all of the anger she got from Josiah on Ivy.
She kept whipping her again and again, and the more she whipped, the more aggressive she got.
Ivy's clothes, which were already covered in blood stains, to begin with, became even redder.
She gritted her teeth hard until Mrs. Shelby got tired and stopped. Only then did she lift her little face with difficulty
and look at her. " Mrs. Shelby, I was wrong. Please...give me one more chance."
Mrs. Shelby threw the whip to the side and said mercilessly, "I'll let you live today. If the wedding on the sixth of next
month isn't done as planned, I'll punish you again then."
Upon saying that, she turned around immediately and walked out of the basement.
When Mrs. Shelby returned to the main building, Josiah and Meredith appeared in front of her and were already
fully dressed.
Meredith looked around the mansion, and the mansion was quiet. She could not hear the children and also could
not see Ivy.
She had occupied Ivy's chance, so should Ivy not be looking for her to settle scores? why was she nowhere to be
seen instead?
"Mrs. Shelby, may I know if Ivy had taken Nia and Cooper out to play?" Meredith asked while feeling a little worried.
