Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Josie looked at her father with a black expression. That pissed him of more than anything. No more were the adoring eyes of a daughter desperate for his lowe.

“Mr. Taylor…I’m skipping dinner tonight because I have a severe allergic to seafood. Something I expressed over five years ago.”

Before Harold could say something, Josie continued.

“A fact of which I’m sure you probably forgot being as to how it was so long ago. The fact that it can literally kill is of no matter.”

Harold’s face fell. He had no idea she was allergic to seafood. He quickly tried to replay a time she may have told him, each time coming up blank. Suddenly Laura spoke,

“I–It was an accident Josie. We didn’t know. We can have the cooks make something else.”

Josie smiled eerily bright at Laura causing a slight chill down her spine. Her daughter’s face was so

lifeless now.

*You knew Mrs. Taylor because I told you multiple times. The proper terminology would be that you forgot, and as I said…I can understand you forgetting something as unimportant as a food that can kill

me.”

Laura’s face paled. Was that how Josie saw this? More importantly…was it true?

Finally, she turned back to her three siblings.

“Although I’m not sure why you thought it was my absolute favorite, I thank you for the efforts of cooking my ‘favorite‘ meals.”

Josie’s eyes were icy, causing Vanessa to look away nervously. This hadn’t gone the way she thought it would. Josie looked over at Christian.

“Will that apology be suffice enough for Ms. Taylor? I can do another if it’s not.”

Christian’s face harden. Josie was doing this on purpose, but it was also what they asked for. Finally, she turned to Jamie.

“As you young Mr. Taylor…I’m not sure if you’ve figured out what I could have possibly done to upset Ms.

Taylor, but if you’re referring to my stepping back. Right now, due to the injuries on my back, it’s uncomfortable to hug.”

Jamie’s face fell ashen; he had no idea she was covered in back bruises!

“Josie…I didn’t…”

“Of course you didn’t…because you never asked. You assumed, and then I got fused at for all of your assumptions. Well, at least that much has stayed the same all these years.”

With that, Josie turned around and left, leaving the family feeling embarrassed. The servants all shook their heads as they watched it unfold. Over the years, they always felt bad for Josie. Everyone in the house knew Vanessa was the one that murdered that person, and even after taking the fall, the Taylors still treated her like an outsider.

Laura was the first to speak.

“Vanessa…why did you go out your way to tell me several times seafood was Josie’s favorite?”

Vanessa’s eyes widen with shock, her little dinner plan to make Josie uncomfortable completely backfired. Scrambling for an answer, Vanessa began to cry.

“Mom…I’m so sorry!! I honestly forgot!!! I was just trying to make her feel at home!!! I’m sorry!!!”

Harlod chimed in before Laura could say anything.

“She just forgot Laura! Hell…it was years ago! I don’t remember everything from that far-”

“But we remember our other children’s allergies Harold. Just saying…she lost four years of her life…it would have been nice to at least remember her favorite foods.”

Everyone stood in shock as Laura left the room. Vanessa was seething on the inside, never had her mother got upset with her before; much less over Josie! Jamie rubbed her back.

“Don’t fret Ness. Josie will be okay…she always is.”

Harold looked over at Christian.

“Do you know anything about those supposed bruises on her back.”

Christian looked at his father, his expression uncomfortable.

Shouldn’t the cook know as well that she doesn’t eat seafood because of her

allergies
