Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226

Chapter 19: Elizabeth Bowen.

The day Josie met Joshua Watson was the day she would finally begin putting her plan to take the Taylors down into motion.

“Nice to finally meet you Ms. Josie Taylor.”

Josie sat in shock as the heir of one of the most powerful familles in the entire region smiled at her. Even she knew who Joshua Watson of House Watson was. But what the hell he was doing in her brother’s kitchen…that was the million dollar question..

“U–Umm…nice to meet you as well Mr. Watson.”

Josie nervously shook his hand while her eyes cut over to Marlon.

“Is that ravioli?”

Joshua’s eyes glanced over at the stove. The smell was already intoxicating; making his mouth water. Josie turned toward the food she’d just prepared.

“It is. I made homemade chicken and cheese stuffed ravioli.”

“That sounds delicious…do you mind if I join you for dinner?”

Josie’s eyes darted back over to Marlon. He nodded at her gently indicating it would be fine. Smiling nervously, she nodded her head in agreement to Joshua.

“It would be my pleasure Mr. Wat-”

“Josh…please call me Josh.”

Josie’s eyes widen slightly as she smiled.

“Josh. Marlon…could I have word with you for a moment?”

Josie pointed towards the breakfast room indicating for her cousin to follow. She had a million questions running through her mind. Marlon smiled lightly at Josie; he knew she was probably confused about what was going on.

“Sure. Josh, you can make yourself at home. We’ll be right back.”

Joshua’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. He knew she was probably confused as to why he was there. Originally, Joshua had no intentions of getting involved in whatever was going on between this Josie person and the Taylors. Now however, after meeting her, he’d found himself deeply intrigued. The girl was most definitely interesting.

As Joshua took his seat, Josie and Marlon went into the breakfast room. Gripping Marlon by the collar, Josie barked at him in a low but panicking tone.

“What the hell is Joshua Watson doing here and what the hell did he mean by ‘finally‘ meeting me?! What have you been telling him!!”

Chapter 226

Josie’s face was scowled as she tightened her grip on Marlon’s collar. Marlon chuckled lightly as he pried Josie’s fingers off his collar.

“How do you expect me to answer your questions if I can’t breathe?”

Josie’s eyes darkened: she was in no mood to play with her cousin.

“Marlon I really am going to choke you to death if you don’t tell me what’s going on!”

Marlon laughed a little louder.

“Relax Jojo… brought him here for you.”

“What? What are you talking about?”

Marlon tipped his chin towards the kitchen,

“You said you want to become one of the most powerful people in Bridgeton right? Well…you’re going to need a sponsor.”

F

Josie eyebrows relaxed, she understood what Marlon was indicating. In order for her to move up the high society food chain, she’d have to be connected to someone with power. Still,

“Yeah but Joshua Watson? That’s just….how do you even know him?”

“College. He was my roommate…we’ve been friends ever since.”

Josie’s eyebrows furrowed as she recalled a time her cousin complained about his roommate eating all of his cookies.

“Wait…you mean HE was the cookie thief!!!”

Before Marlon could answer, Joshua walked into the breakfast room. He’d been listening on the other side of the door.

“I resent that…if I’m not mistaken Ms. Taylor, you wrote on those beautiful stationaries for Marlon to share with his roommate.”

Josie slightly blushed as Joshua smiled at her.

“I supposed that’s true.”

Marlon scuffed.
