"But who could be threatening her? My mother?" Josiah asked.

"I think that's the most likely answer," Meredith answered.

Josiah kept quiet momentarily before saying, "she had been with my mother since she was a child. And my mother has been treating her like her own daughter. I don't get why my mother needs to threaten her. But I'll just ask her since you have this doubt."

Just when Josiah was about to turn around to go downstairs, Meredith pulled him back. “Wait, she is asleep now. Furthermore, she won't admit it if you just ask her so directly."

"I just need her to get Ivy to come back. No?" Josiah said.

Everything would return to square one if Mrs. Shelby was the one who requested Ivy to come back. It would not help to prove Meredith's assumption.

Meredith pulled Josiah's sleeve and gazed at him. “Josiah, I want to go look at the annex. Can you go with me?"

If Josiah went along, no one would dare to stop her. If she went alone, then there was a possibility that she would be blocked.

"Are you suspecting Ivy is being locked up? In the annex?" Josiah was startled. Then he scoffed and knocked on her head. "Have you been watching too many mystery movies?"

"Feel free to think so." Meredith pulled his sleeves again, "So can you go to the annex with me?"

"Are you going to pout until tomorrow if I don't go?" Josiah poked Meredith's lip with his index finger. "Come on, I'll go with you." Then he took out a trench coat from the wardrobe and place it on her. "It's cold outside. Put it on."

Meredith put on the trench coat and made a quiet signal at Josiah, " Sshh...don't let anyone know that we are going to the annex."

"Alright. Let's keep quiet." He put his hand around her. Just before they went out of the door, something suddenly popped into his mind. He lowered his head and said, "But you have to promise me one thing."

"What?" Meredith asked.

"If you did not see the mystery plot you imagine, you have to let me sleep with you tonight," Josiah said.

Meredith rolled her eyes to show how speechless she was. Nevertheless, her heart was rushing to go inspect the annex, so she nodded without feeling forced. "Alright, I promise you."

In order not to spook anyone, they left from the back door and headed to the annex from the backyard. The mansion was huge. It was at least half a mile from the main building to the annex.

The weather was colder at night. Within a few steps of walking, Josiah pulled Meredith into his trench coat. He was afraid she was cold.

Nonetheless, Meredith did now realize how protective Josiah was. All she could think about was the annex.

As they entered the living hall of the annex, they saw the yellow dog Lily said. It was sleeping in one of the corners. Luckily the yellow dog did not bark when it got spooked. It just looked at Josiah and Meredith with alerted eyes while putting its tongue out.

Josiah looked at the yellow dog and asked, "How come I didn't know there's a dog in here?" "This is one of the suspicious points too." Meredith said, "Lily said this is Mrs. Shebly's dog. But why does she want such a big dog? And it is being leashed in the house too." "My mother does like dogs," Josiah said.

"Let's go in." He pulled Meredith further in and asked, "Where do you want to search

first?" "The basement," Meredith answered, "the basement is the most suitable place to lock up someone. I was being locked up in there and got bitten by a dog in the past." Josiah's heart ached. He looked at her sadly and felt sorry for her experience.
