Chapter 196
Chapter 196
After knowing Parker's film had an accident, Asher had a sinister foreboding.
It happened too suddenly. Could it be...that Derek had found out something? Did their plan succeed?
Asher immediately contacted Parker.
But Parker was sunk in sleep. Jenny was sitting by his bedside and gently fondled his face. The
infatuation to Parker shown in her eyes was even morbid.
After stopping Parker from going for Meredith, she even used the knockout drops to make him fall
asleep.
Only in this way could she feel at ease, and only in this way could she protect the foundation which
they had worked so hard to build together.
Asher called Parker. She picked it up. After hearing Asher speak, she curled up her lips, "Sir, I don't
know who you are. I know you indulge in your wishful thinking of hiding behind Parker to deal with
Meredith. I must tell you now that Meredith was brought back by Derek. We won't be involved in your
affairs anymore. Don't disturb Parker from now on."
After saying that, Jenny hung up the phone.
Asher was so angry that he even wanted to smash his phone. He originally wanted Parker to take
Meredith away, so Chloe and Derek could have a bright future. But it failed again...
Had that woman been so important to Derek?
Chloe came out of the bathroom and saw Asher look so bad. She frowned, "What's wrong, Asher? Is
that...not going well?"
Asher had told Chloe about it in order to appease her. Now, seeing that things were not going well, her
face darkened. She covered her chest with her hands and breathed heavily to calm her down.
She couldn't be angry. Maybe it was because of her mental illness. Now, as long as she felt angry or
too fevered, she would feel uncomfortable.
"Asher, I'll deal with this. Don't take up the matter yourself, or mutual disagreement will be produced
between you and Derek."
Chloe calmed down. Asher was Derek's best friend and was very helpful to her. If they broke off
because of Meredith, it would be even harder for her to stay with Derek in the future.
So instead of asking Asher to do anything for her, Chloe called Violet.
Violet was taking care of her skin in a beauty parlour. She answered the phone, "Chloe, what's wrong? NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
I'm in a beauty parlour now. Do you want to come here now?"
"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you. There's something I don't know if I should tell you or not, but...I'm really
worried."
Chloe's voice sounded so pitiful, which made Violet on the alert immediately, "What happened?"
"I...I think I have seen Meredith. Derek didn't send her away, but...let her stay in J City, somewhere we
don't know. Maybe he really loves her. If that's the case, I'm willing to..."
As Chloe spoke, she began to cry. It sounded that she was really a spoony woman who had to give up
and fulfill the man she loved.
"What?" When Violet heard this, she was in no mood. Derek didn't send Meredith away but hid her.
Was he crazy?
"Are you sure you saw it right?"
Violet took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"No. I can remember it correctly. Besides, they seem to live in the villa that the Xaviers leaves unused
at ordinary times."
Hearing Chloe was so sure about it, Violet did not suspect anything. She pinched her fingers, "Chloe,
don't worried about it. I'll give you a satisfactory answer."
After saying that, Violet quickly left. All she wanted to do was find Derek and force him to solve the
problem.
...
Derek came to the company and continued his daily work. However, the people under him were acutely
aware that the boss's mood was still bad.
Therefore, the huge Xavier Group was still shrouded in a repressive atmosphere.
When Violet came over, Derek was in a meeting. She didn't hesitate and directly asked them to stop.
Derek frowned, but still followed Violet back to the office, "Mom, what's going on? What happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Violet slapped him.
Derek couldn't dodge, so her hand hit right on his face. Violet breathed heavily. This was the first time
she had hit Derek, even in this way which could make him feel humiliated.
Derek always made her free from worry since he was a little boy. But the way he treated Meredith really
let her down.
"Derek, you disappoint me too much." Violet's hands trembled, "Why don't you kick Meredith out? You
are not willing to get engaged to Chloe. Is it also because of her?"
Derek frowned. He did not refute. The silence made Violet felt colic pain of her chest.
Her son who she placed great hopes on and was also the hope her life had been pestered by that
woman. She wished she could go back to the moment before Meredith entered the Xaviers, and let her
get out of Derek's world forever.
Derek saw his mom was so angry. He quickly went over to appease her, "Don't get too excited. I..."
But he didn't know how to explain it, because it was the truth.
Even though he never wanted to admit it in front of Meredith, she had a great influence on him. Besides
her, he didn't want any other woman.
"Derek, you really..."
Because Derek didn't explain anything to her, Violet felt more and more disheartened. The pain coming
from her chest made her face lose its color.
Only then did Derek notice something was wrong, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Violet covered her chest and shook her head feebly. A fierce pang of pain hit her. She grabbed Derek's
clothes and said, "Derek, is this what you want?"
Violet said that word by word as if her words had hit Derek's heart. He immediately called for someone
to take her to the hospital. Her words lingered in his ears for a long time.
What would he do if something bad happened to his mother?
Derek paced to and fro in front of the door of the emergency room. For the first time, he lost his sense
of propriety and did not know what to do. How powerful he was in the city was not worth mentioning
compared with people's life.
After Old Master heard the news, he quickly rushed over. The first thing he did when he arrived was to
slap Derek so hard, "You unfilial son! How could you make your mother so angry? After your father
passed away, she didn't want to remarry because of you. She had tried to protect the family and you
since such a young age. Have you ever felt sorry about that?"
Derek just let Old Master hit him without resisting. The physical pain now became a relief. At least, it
could relieve his sense of guilt.
