when the Shelby Group is stable, that you, Miss Meredith, and Nia would be safe.” Mister Yoseph then added, “So to
conclude, we are not using Miss Meredith. We are simply protecting your family.” Right then, Mister Yoseph gasped
in shock, “Sir, shit!” Josiah had just closed his eyes when they shot wide open at Yoseph’s sudden gasp. “Someone
