Chapter 544
Chapter 544
Meredith was almost speechless with anger.
"First of all, you should not antagonize Parker. It's he that saved me from your mother when you didn't
care about me. Otherwise, I was already dead, or I've been infertile."
"Besides, I made it very clear to you a few days ago that we are over. You don't need to care about me,
and I won't care if you marry a lady from a rich and eminent family."
Derek's anger dissipated when he saw the pain and hatred in Meredith's eyes. He was heartbroken.
She never talked so much about the past.
Derek never knew that she might be infertile.
"What happened that year? What did she do to you?"
Derek was suddenly very upset. He only knew that Violet had taken Meredith's child, but he didn't
expect that Violet would have caused such a serious injury to Meredith's body.
"If you want to know what happened back then, you can ask her. I don't want to say anything more."
Meredith did not want to recall the past in detail. The past was so overwhelming.
"That's it."
Watching Meredith leave, Derek had the illusion that if he didn't catch her, she would leave him.
Derek reached out and grabbed her wrist. But this time, Derek didn't dare to use much force, as if he
was afraid of destroying some precious treasure.
"I remember everything you said to me last time, but I'm not going to give up. I'll ask my mom what she
did to you. I won't pester you until it's settled, but I won't stand by and watch Easton call someone else
dad."
"Just as you don't accept me finding a stepmother for Easton, I also can't accept you finding a
stepfather for him, especially Parker. "
Derek was very serious.
Meredith looked at him and suddenly felt confused. "Why do you have such a strong bias against
Parker?"
Her sixth sense told her that it was not just because Derek was jealous. He was being wired.
...
Derek gave her a meaningful look. "You don't know Parker much."
Parker was his father's illegitimate son. That is to say, Parker was his half-brother. But Parker did not
contribute anything to the Xaviers. In recent years when he was abroad, he had been thinking about
how to destroy the Xaviers.
Parker's actions caused a lot of damage to the Xaviers, and he was a thorn in Derek's flesh.
Therefore, he always felt that Parker pursued Meredith was not because he liked her a lot. He must
have some plots.
"I think you're trying to gauge the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure. No matter what,
he didn't hurt me."
Meredith took her hand out of Derek's. "If everything's done, I'll go back."
After that, Meredith left without looking back.
Derek wanted to chase after her, but when he thought of what she said, he stopped.
Perhaps, in her heart, he was just a person who would bring her a lot of pain and entanglement.
He did not intend to go for her until he had dealt with the family trouble.
Derek looked down and called Violet.
Violet was enjoying Luna's skincare service at home. Luna, affable and obedient, served her well and
that made her satisfied.
Meredith never treated her like this? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Every time she saw Wening, Meredith looked arrogant, as if she was really someone.
When she heard the call, Violet glanced at it. It was Derek. She sat up immediately.
Luna's face darkened when she saw it, but she did not take the initiative to speak. She just sat there
quietly.
"It's not convenient for me to answer the phone right now. You pick it up."
Seeing that Luna was so thoughtful, Violet gave her a chance to talk to Derek.
"I see, auntie."
Luna obediently took the phone over and pressed the answer button. "Hello, is that Mr. Xavier? Now
that auntie is having skincare, it's not convenient for her to answer the phone. What can I do for you?"
Luna lowered her voice. Her voice was so gentle and graceful that people might gravitate to her after
hearing her voice.
But Derek winced when he heard the voice of a strange woman. "Who are you?"
Derek's tone was not friendly, but Luna was not discouraged. "I'm Luna. I'm here to accompany auntie."
Derek remembered that Violet had found a woman to supervise Easton. It seemed that she was that
one.
"There are servants in the Xaviers. Miss Balise should go home as soon as possible and do something
more important."
Luna's expression froze. She had not expected Derek to drive her away so rudely.
Seeing this, Violet sighed and picked up the phone. "Derek, now that Easton has been picked up by
that woman, can't I even have someone here with me?"
Hearing that Violet didn't even want to call Meredith by her name, but called her by "that woman,"
Derek felt tired.
He didn't understand why Violet was so stubborn and why she prejudiced against Meredith that much.
Meredith was better and stronger than many people, and she would not scheme. But Violet would
never see these qualities.
"Mom, I know what you're thinking as your son. I think it's okay for you to go out with friends of the
same age."
"In this family, do I not even have the right to decide a person whether to stay?"
Violet stubbornly rejected Derek's proposal.
"Mom, I have something to ask you. Meredith almost lost her ability to have a child. What happened?"
At the mention of this topic, Violet's expression changed.
Of course, she would never forget that scene. There was so much blood. She would never forget that
horrible image for the rest of her life.
But why would Derek suddenly question her this?
There is only one possibility that Meredith told Derek something.
"Meredith told you that? That happened so long ago and she still mentions that to you?"
"You just need to tell me if it's true."
Hearing Violet's blame, Derek was indescribably complexed.
He did not expect his mother to be a cold-blooded and heartless person, but her attitude showed that
she really did not care about the lives of others. She almost let a woman lose her ability to have a child.
But even after doing serious damage to a woman, she did not feel guilt at all.
"Yes, but that was only an accident. I didn't mean it. Isn't she all right now? I also gave her a sum of
money at that time, so that she could live comfortably even if she couldn't have a child. What else did
she want?"
