Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 19

They were curious as to whether Josiah would help his ex–wife. As if he did not realize that Meredith was secretly asking for his help, Josiah pulled into a smirk and said, “I don‘t mind at all.”

Meredith felt her body go cold.

She was still too naive. She was naive to think that Josiah would not have resented her that much anymore.

She was too naive to think that Josiah would protect her since she had been his wife for one period of time.

With Josiah‘s approval, Maeve pushed it further and said, “Mister Leon, she‘s after all the prettiest lady in Jehovah City and once a Mrs.Shelby, I‘m sure she‘s worth a fortune. Shouldn‘t you show some sincerity if you want to kiss her?”

“I heard that Miss Leighton is really talented. She‘s good at playing the piano, painting, and even dancing! She had won in an international dance competition before,” said a woman while she pointed at the pole on the stage and added, “Why don‘t we have Miss Leighton to show us a dance?”

“The dancer should be naked for us to enjoy watching pole dancing. Don‘t tell me you want to see Miss Leighton...hehe...” One of the guys tugged into a smug smile as he rubbed his chin.

“I can‘t wait to see the body of the prettiest lady of Jehovah City!” Upon their taunts and jeers, Meredith was both embarrassed and frustrated that her face was flushed red.

Zya, who was startled by the situation earlier, hurriedly got back on her feet and rushed out of the room to get help from Miss Josie.

Leon stuffed a big pile of cash into Meredith‘s hands and urged impatiently, “Is it money that you want? Here, take this. Now hurry up, take off your clothes and get up there.” Clenching the pile of cash in her hands, Meredith felt even more disrespected.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to dig up a hold and bury herself in it. She desperately wanted to vanish into thin air.

However, at the thought of the phone call from the hospital urging her to pay the medical bills, Meredith could only hold onto the pile of cash. Looking at the pile of cash in her hands, tears had started blurring her sight.

Never once had she thought that she would need to sell her body and dignity for money. But if it was for the sake of saving Nia, dignity meant nothing to Meredith.

By the time she looked up, gone were the tears which were now replaced with an alluring and seductive smile on her face. Meredith then said, “Mister Leon, aren’t you the owner of the Leon Group? Are you really thinking of using this little amount of money to buy me?” Meredith instantly felt a piercing and burning stare at her.

It was as if Josiah desperately wanted to pierce holes in her body with his stare. Leon was taken aback. Clearly, he did not expect Meredith to complain about the amount of money.

“Ah, so it‘s because I paid too little? Here, we have more. Come here and get them from me,” said one of the guys as he swayed the pile of cash in his hands. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I want to see you pole dance naked!”

“Me too! I also want to kiss Miss Leighton!”

The room was suddenly bustling with noise as the guys started taking out their money. Looking at the numerous stacks of cash, Meredith was now grinning ear to ear.

“Thank you for all the love! Now, don‘t you worry, I will make sure to satisfy each and every one of you,” Meredith said in a flirtatious manner as she walked toward the guys and took the money from them.

The guys looked as if they were bewitched by Meredith. When it came to Josiah‘s turn, Meredith pretended as if she was confused and asked, “Eh, do you not have any cash on you, Mister Josiah?“
