Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Meredith‘s eyes followed his finger to see the sharp glass shards that were scattered around the floor. She felt chills running down her spine. O nly Josiah was ruthless and cold– blooded enough to have her dance barefoot on the glass shards. Clenching her fists tightly on he r side, Meredith said, “My apologies, Mister Josiah. I don‘t want to dance anymore.” Grabbing the pile of cash that she had earned by selling her dignity, Meredith was ready to leave the room.
“I said to dance!” Josiah growled as he reached out his hands and grabbed ahold of Meredith‘s h air, causing her to fall backward onto the floor. Meredith felt as if she had heard the glass pieces being pierced into her flesh. A wave of burning pain spread all over her back almost instantly. Because she was dressed only in her underwear, the shards of glass pierced directly into her flesh. Meredith was shivering in pain. Looking at the glass shard s on her back, Josiah felt his heart drop. However, the pity he had for Meredith vanished almost immediately when he noticed how she was barely dressed. “Is it painful? And I thought a woman like you, shameless and lowly, wouldn‘t feel anything at all,” mocked Josiah as he crouched down in front of Meredith and lifted her chin with his fingers.
“I said to dance!” Josiah scowled.

me?”
“Yeva is still unconscious but you‘re already selling your body to earn money? Meredith Leighton, I have
really underestimated how low you can
stoop!” Josiah seethed furiously. Those humiliating words of his pierced through Meredith‘s heart like sha

pity. She had to pay the medical bills urgently to save Nia‘s life. Staring at the cash that was scattered
on the floor, Meredith struggled as she crawled toward the cash to pick them up
one by one as tears were blurring her sight. Until a leather shoe stepped on a bundle of cash, it was then
Meredith looked into his eyes and begged, “Mister Josiah, I don‘t care if you want to see me as being
desperate or low, but I did my part to earn this money. Could you please kindly step aside?”
Grabbing onto his shoe, Meredith used all her strength
to remove the stack of cash underneath his shoe and urgently put the money in her arms.

eful woman that had once vouched that she was the only one who deserved to be his wife?
Josiah thought that money could really make a woman give up everything –
including their dignity. Pulling into a smirk, Josiah scoffed, “If you love money so much, why don‘t you co

Hanging her head low, Meredith could only continue putting up with his humiliation.
She was desperately hoping that he would leave after he had enough of humiliating her.
