Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 163

The medical team hurriedly did a check up on Miss Leah and in the end, they announced that Miss Leah had passed away.

Ysabelle was, of course, relieved.

After Miss Leah’s body was sent away, Josiah finally turned to look at Meredith and hissed coldly, “Meredith Leighton, you killed Miss Yena.”

It was not a question. It was a statement.

Meredith shook her head. “It is not me! No!”

It was a murder. There was no way that she would admit to killing someone.

Ysabelle glared at her furiously. “Meredith Leighton, you made such a scene earlier when you got into a fight with Miss Leah earlier. If it wasn’t you who pushed her, don’t tell me that she jumped off the roof all on her own?”

“Miss Leah still had to take care of Yena. It’s impossible that she’d take her own life, don’t you think?” Even though she managed to temporarily get away with murder, she was worried that the evidence would trace back to her if Josiah insisted on a thorough investigation.

Ysabelle thought that even though she proposed the idea Miss Leah could have committed suicide and she was not able to pin Meredith as the culprit, she thought that it was probably the best way out for her. Alfred, the butler , who had rushed home asked carefully, “Sir, what should we do? Should we call the cops?”

“The cops…” Josiah glanced coldly at Meredith and asked, “What do you say, Meredith?”

Meredith, who still looked pale, nodded. “I think we should.”

She was not afraid of being investigated because she did nothing wrong.

Ysabelle, on the other hand, started panicking at the mention of reporting to the cops.

But she could not reject the idea of calling the cops as it would make her look suspicious. Biting down the bullet, Ysabelle said, “Josiah, let’s call the cops. Meredith tried to stab Yena and now she killed Miss Leah. It is obvious that she wants to get rid of Yena. We have to make her pay for what she did to Miss Leah!

We need to punish her for Yena’s sake.”

The one who made a mistake has to pay.

If Meredith was the one who killed Miss Leah, she would have to face the death penalty.

Glancing coldly at Meredith, Josiah said to Alfred, “Lock her up in the basement.”

Puzzled, Meredith stared at him. “Why are you locking me up in the basement? If I were to be locked away, it should be at the detention center, isn’t it?”

“Meredith Leighton, jail is too good for you. Our basement suits you the best,” said Josiah as he headed into the house. Even though Josiah did not call the cops, because they had called the ambulance and someone was announced dead, the cops had naturally showed up at their house.

Upon being questioned by the police, Josiah was calm and composed.

Apart from Miss Leah, Ysabelle and Meredith were the only ones at home. Meredith was pinned as the prime suspect as she was beaten up violently by Miss Leah just the other day and there was a feud between the both of them.

Not only did the cops suspect Meredith, but Josiah too found her suspicious.

He was on the phone with Miss Leah when she called him for help. Hence, he was sure that Miss Leah was murdered.

However, he said nothing and told no one about getting a call from Miss Leah. The cops went to the basement and questioned Meredith but they did not get anything out of her.

After the cops left, Ysabelle questioned Josiah, “Josiah, why didn’t you let them check the terrace to find signs of any struggle?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Ysabelle had cleaned the terrace and with the rain, it would be hard to find any traces of her.

She purposely brought this up in an attempt to convince Josiah that she was innocent. Glancing at her, Josiah replied, “Meredith is sick. She might not even have the strength to push Miss Leah.” “So you think that Miss Leah jumped down on her own?”
