Chapter 234
Chloe's good mood was almost dampened by his cold attitude.
She thought that after Derek and Meredith separated, he would get along well with her, but she didn't
expect that he was still indifferent to her...
"Derek, watch your attitude!" Mr. Xavier, who was not far away, noticed that Chloe's expression was
strange. When he came over, he saw Derek's expressionless face.
It was really unreasonable that this brat still wore a cold look when seeing his own engagement scene.
"Chloe, you go over there for a while. I'll give him a talking-to."
Chloe agreed obediently. Mr. Xavier walked to an unnoticed corner with his cell phone, "You've done
almost everything abroad, haven't you? You should come back soon. Even if you don't necessarily
participate in the preliminary work, you can't be absent that day of engagement, can you?"
Derek rubbed his brows, "I still have things to deal with here."
Now that Meredith's problem was still unresolved, how could he leave?
"Stop making excuses. Do you think I really don't know what you are thinking?"
Mr. Xavier hit the floor angrily with his walking stick, "Anyway, break up with that woman as soon as
possible. Otherwise, you know the consequences..."
After saying that, Mr. Xavier hung up the phone.
Derek was seething with anger, but in the end, he couldn't vent it on his grandfather, so he could only
throw his phone away.
Mr. Xavier sighed on the other side. He didn't expect to use that thing for Derek's sake...
The distant memory was retrieved, and he seemed to remember the scene of being abroad, but it was
also thanks to that person that Derek was pulled back from the precipice.
"What a worrisome fellow." Mr. Xavier shook his head, not wanting to recall the past.
At this moment, a phone call came. As Mr. Xavier took the call, his face turned set and hard.
...
Meredith told Amelia the good news that she didn't have to be discharged for the time being.
Amelia was a little confused as she listened to the news. In her opinion, things weren't that simple, but
she didn't want to disappoint her daughter when she saw that her daughter was happy about it rather
than so sad because of the breakup.
"That's great. Don't worry. When mom gets better, I won't lie there and become a drag on you. I'll
definitely find a way to pay the money back as soon as possible."
Amelia said, "And that Derek's money, we will pay it back, too. Mom doesn't need that kind of money.
We don't owe him."
Meredith nodded. She had the same intention. Seeing that her mother was in a positive mood, she
relaxed a little.
While they were talking, Meredith's cell phone rang. It was a message from Derek.
"Meet at eight o'clock today. I have something to tell you."
Meredith's face darkened. What was the matter?
What else could he do?
Did he figure it out and come to her because he didn't want to waste so much money on her? Or, did
he want to sign an agreement or something to keep her close-mouthed about this secret relationship?
Meredith couldn't help but sneer and clench her phone, "Okay."
She wanted to see what has Derek got up in his sleeve.
After the last face-to-face blow, Meredith felt numb. In that case, it would be better to break up with him
completely. There would be no relationship between them.
Looking at her brief reply, Derek was lost in thought.
Although he had only seen her today, he still had a longing for her in his heart. However, when he
thought of what he was going to say to her today, Derek had a rare desire to escape.
...
At eight o'clock in the evening, Derek arrived at Meredith's house on time.
Meredith was sitting in the living room, waiting for him. When Derek entered the room, he saw her
sitting on the sofa, expressionless.
This time, there was no warm smile on Meredith's face. She did not even cast a look at him. When she
saw him coming, she said coldly, "You're here. What's the matter? Tell me."
Derek felt a little sad but still walked over, "I'll talk to you about the future."
Meredith smiled, "Do you want me to sign a confidentiality agreement, or do you want me to disappear
in front of you for the rest of my life? Okay, I promise you all."
Her tone was flat, but there was an imperceptible tremor in it. Derek did not recognize it and clenched
his fists, looking at Meredith sitting beside him.
"Do you just want to disappear in front of me?"
"Isn't that what you think?" Meredith put down the quilt and glanced at Derek.
She would never forget what she had seen in the hotel that day. Now that their relationship had got into
such a mess, was there any need for them to continue meeting with each other? This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"I'm just saying it for you. Don't worry, I'll... Disappear in the future, and I won't cause any more trouble
for Mr. Xavier."
"The biggest problem is that you will leave me." Derek thought, but he forced himself to hold it back.
He suppressed his anger, "So? Where are you taking your mother? Where do you live? Do you have a
job? Can you support yourself and pay for her medical bills?"
Meredith was so stubborn. Did she want to sleep on the street? Why couldn't she be a little softer to
make her life easier?
Meredith suddenly thought that was perhaps how Derek regarded her from the beginning.
There was nothing wrong with what he said. She had nothing. In this unfamiliar place, she had no
friends, no family, no job, and no money.
Therefore, she could only be manipulated by him, like a plaything. When he was happy, he could be
nicer to her and give her some benefits, regarding her as the apple of his eye. However, when he was
unhappy, he just kicked her away.
In the end, all of this was her own fault. She was so useless that she was fooled by Derek all the time
while thinking that she had found true love...
She was really stupid.
"I can't, but... I won't always be useless."
Meredith clenched her fists, "I'm not going to be a toy you can play with all the time. I'm going to live on
my own. For better or for worse, I'm going to bear it myself."
Meredith said it word by word, which was not so much to refute Derek as to cheer herself up.
Derek was so angry that he even wanted to pry Meredith's head open to see what was inside. He was
holding the transfer of shares in his hand, "What about this? Don't you want this, do you?"
Meredith looked over and Derek threw it into her arms. It was the title deed to the villa where the
Masons had lived for more than ten years and the transfer of shares of the company of the Masons.
What was this? The breakup fee she was paid?
"What if I say you can't move out of here if you want to get this?"
