Chapter 288
The internet was filled with news about how sosialı’s ex-wife was still alive and they even had a daughter together, but before the Shelbys could even acknowledge the presence of the daughter, the daughter had dead and Josiah was the culprit. It was like a bomb that dropped on the internet.
And of course, the media would not let such hot news slip away.
Ysabelle was not worried that the news would affect the stocks of Shelby Group but she was worried about the fact that Josialı had acknowledged that Nia was his daughter.
Ysabelle wondered if Josiah had run another paternity test and if that was the case, he might trace the source of the previously manipulated test results and she would then be exposed. And also about the incident back then… Ysabelle had to do something before Josiah started looking into her. Anxiously, she quickly made a call and said bluntly into the phone, “Josiah Shelby has already found out about the manipulated paternity test results. You should resign and leave right away.
The person on the other end of the call got anxious too. “What do I do then? Where should I escape to? Miss Ysabelle, you must help me.”
“Don’t worry, I will of course help you,” said Ysabelle, “I’ll wire you one million dollars. Take the money and leave Jehovah City. Find a town where no one knows you and lay low for now.” “Okay, I will do that.” The person on the other end of the phone was exhilarated at the mention of one million dollars.
He had also received ten thousand dollars from Ysabelle when he agreed to help her manipulate the test results. “But it comes with a condition,” Ysabelle said sternly, ” if there comes a day that Josiah finds you, you must insist that it was Miss Leah who asked you to do this. Don’t you dare bring up my name, do you understand me?” “Don’t worry, Miss Ysabelle. I will not give you away.”
“Good.” Ysabelle ended the call and inhaled slowly.
Reaching for her phone, she started looking through the news about Josiah and Meredith. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
For some reason, the internet should be filled with news about the duo but instead, the news was controlled.
It must be the efforts of the PR department of Shelby Group.
Zade Brooks, of course, had seen the news on the internet. He went to the hospital and saw Meredith curled up like a ball in a corner. At the sight of Meredith whose eyes looked lost and reddened, Zade had slowly let go of his resentment toward her.
Walking up to her, Zade apologized, “I’m sorry, Merelyn.”
As if she did not hear him at all, Meredith did not even bat an eyelid.
“It’s me, Merelyn,” Zade sat down in front of her, reached out his hands, patted her head, and went on, “Merelyn, I know you love Nia a lot and you’re heartbroken that she has left us. But Nia is no longer with us anymore and it’s time for you to move on.”
Meredith finally lifted her head to look at him.
Tears ran down her cheeks. “You’re lying. Nia is not dead yet. Nia is just right in the next room receiving her treatment.
“See that? The roses are fully bloomed,” Meredith reached for the pot of roses and showed it to Zade. She then said, “I once said that Nia would get better once the roses are fully bloomed.
“Can you see it? Why aren’t you happy for me?” Meredith studied the look on his face and demanded, “Do you not believe that Nia will get better? You don’t believe me either, do you?”
“Merelyn…” Zade felt sorry for her but he had to remind her, “Nia is already gone. You need to accept this.”
With a loud clang, Meredith dropped the pot of roses on the floor.
“No…” Shaking her head as tears rushed out of her eyes, Meredith cried, “you’re lying. Nia is not dead. She’s not dying!”
“Merelyn…” “Don’t talk to me, you liar!”
Staring at him, Meredith slowly came back to her senses and realized the fact that Nia was no longer with her. Meredith stood there silently as tears kept running down her cheeks,
