Chapter 278
Zade did not expect that Josiah would do that to liim again and rage gripped him.
He got a hold of Ysabelle and demanded coldly, “Didn’t you promise to help me? I don’t get to see her now.” Ysabelle knew Josiah well. Even though he said he did not want the child, he cared about the child after the child was lost. This was the same as Josiah’s love and hate feelings toward Meredith. Hence, Ysabelle knew that it was impossible for Josiah to let Meredith go.
It was just wishful thinking. With the child out of the way, Zade had lost his value to Ysabelle. She did not want to spend any more time catering to Zade. “Whose fault is it then? Aren’t you the one to be blamed for being useless?” Zade was wordless with rage. “Come up with a way to get her out of the house.”
“There’s no use,” Ysabelle shook her head and added, “I finally see it now. Meredith had never loved you and with or without the child, she wouldn’t have left with you.
“Mister Zade, do you really think I don’t want to get her out? But she’s being locked up now and there’s nothing else that I can do.” “Don’t tell me you can’t get into Josiah’s house?” “Not anymore,” Ysabelle seethed. Josiah was slowly losing his patience with her. Not only did he not allow her to visit the Shelby residence, but he also trusted Meredith’s words and did not allow her to visit his grandmother.
Ysabelle thought It was all Meredith’s fault.
“Miss Ysabelle, you were the one who wanted us to join hands and you’ve gotten what you .. want, but what about mine? Don’t tell me that you’re planning to back out?” Zade sensed that
Ysabelle did not want to help him anymore, so he added, “Aren’t you worried that I’ll rat you out to Josiah?”
Indeed, Ysabelle got anxious.
“I’m not backing out. I already told you that I can’t get into Josiah’s place.”
Pausing, she then stared at Zade. “But do you really like Meredith? I don’t think that’s the case, right?” “What makes you think that?” “If you really love someone, you would not want to hurt her. You even drugged her, didn’t
you?”
“…” Zade retorted coldy, “I only did it because I wanted her to leave with me.”
“And you know deep down, that’s not the case. You only wanted to get back at Josiah. Your love for Meredith had already vanished the moment she threw herself at Josiah and did it in
front of your eyes,” Ysabelle sniggered, “and yes, you want Meredith to leave with you, but it isn’t because you want to spend the rest of your life with her, but because you want to separate the both of them, right?” Seeing how the expression on Zade’s face was changing, Ysabelle knew that she was right. If it was not because she could not help him help Meredith escape, she would not have cared to remind him.
She wanted desperately for him to cause a scene instead. “So what if it’s true? Does this nullify your promise to help me?” “That’s not what I meant. I will try to think of a way to help you.” “Good.” Zade then walked away. Outside the cafe, the sun was shining brightly. Zade stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sun.
It felt good, standing under the sun. But he was forced to step into the darkness.
And he never wanted it to be that way. Josiah had just finished a meeting when he received news about his grandmother gaining consciousness.
He immediately strode toward the lift. Josiah’s grandmother did regain her consciousness. But she was only able to move her eyes and fingers.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
