Another man from the group shouted, “Mrs. Shelby, do you mind explaining why the charitable foundation is named Nia Foundation? Is the foundation set up to honor
Nia?
Meredith felt as if her mind had gone blank instantly. Quinley pulled over, got out of
her car, and stood in front of Meredith. “Where are you guys from? And what are you guys talking about?” “We’re from Zeus Media and we would like to interview Mrs.Shelby,” One of the men replied and went on to ask Meredith, “Mrs. Shelby, would you
mind saying a few words?” “Ah–” Meredith suddenly shouted and covered her ears
with both hands.
“Meredith, are you alright? Meredith?” Quinley immediately crouched down and held Meredith in her arms.
“Stop asking me! Stop! I don‘t know anything, ah–**
“Can‘t you guys hear her? Stop asking her! she doesn‘t know anything! Quinley shouted at the reporters.
Lily heard the loud commotion outside and hurriedly rushed over with a group of Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
security guards.
The group of reporters was intimidated by the large group of security and immediately retreated.
Meredith suddenly stood up straight, grabbed a reporter from the group, and yelled, “Wait! Don‘t go! Tell me who Nia is! Who is Nia?”
“Nia is…”
Amidst the chaos, Meredith‘s face mask got loose and fell from her face.
At the sight of Meredith‘s scarred face, the man was intimidated and quickly ran away from her,
“Don‘t go! Don‘t go!” Meredith yelled as she tried to catch up to the man but was stopped by Lily and Quinley.
“Ma‘am, calm down. You got to calm down,” Lily hugged her tightly, patted her shoulders, and comforted Meredith, “don‘t listen to anything that they say.”
“So who exactly is Nia?” Meredith pushed Lily away, stared intently at her, and asked.
“Nia…”
Seeing how Lily was not saying anything, Meredith turned to look at Quinley, grabbed Quinley by her shoulders, and shook her hard. “Tell me Quinley, who is Nia? Tell me!” Quinley was getting nauseous from all the shaking and before she could even think clearly, she slipped out, “Nia is the name of your pet dog.”
“What?”
Quinley cleared her throat awkwardly and looked at Lily. “Yeah, you named your pet
dog Nid,
and Nia died later. You were really heartbroken and you even cried for days.” “It was a dog?” Meredith murmured under her breath then turned to look at Lily. “Lily, is it true?” Lily was speechless. How could she possibly agree that Nia was the name of Meredith‘s dog when it was the name of Meredith‘s precious daughter? Quinley too realized that she made a mistake. “Lily, what‘s important right now is to calm her down.” Indeed, without Josiah around, it would be hard to calm Meredith down. Lily had no other choice but to nod her head and agree with Quinley. “Yes, ma‘am. It is only a dog. We can ask Sir to get you another pet if you want.” Under Lily and Quinley‘s persuasion, Meredith slowly believed their words.
She had finally calmed down. “Let‘s head back inside, ma‘am.” Lily then walke
Meredith back into the house. Quinley got back into her car and drove toward her
destination. Entering a private room, Quinley cleared her throat as she leaned next
to the door and looked at the people in the room with a wide grin on her face. In the
room were a group of men and women, putting on airs. At the sight of Quinley, the
women started gathering around her. “So? Did you get to meet the most gorgeous
lady in Jehovah
City? Is it true what they wrote on the news? That Mister Josiah loves her even more after her daughter is dead?” Quinley cleared her throat and announced, “We made a bet, aight? Losers will have to pay for all expenses for the rest of the year in this clubhouse.”
