Chapter 83


    "What''s wrong? Are you cold?" Parker immediately took off his coat to give it to her.


    "No, I''m not cold." She was just scared.


    However, Parker didn''t care about her rejection. "The sea breeze is really a little chill. Put it on and


    don''t catch a cold. I''m afraid you will be blown away by the wind as you''re so thin now."


    Meredith smiled and Parker added, "I have already known all about these things. Don''t worry. I''ll help


    you."


    Meredith nodded and then took out a piece of paper to write down some clues. She handed the paper


    to Parker. "I really don''t know how to thank you."


    Parker looked at the sheer gratitude in her eyes and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He then


    showed his usual casual smile and said. "We are friends so I will definitely help you."


    The two of them returned to the car. Parker insisted to send Meredith home.


    Meredith thought for a while. If Derek found out that she was going home with Parker, he would be


    angry. Thinking of this, she wanted to refuse him.


    "It''s such a remote ce here. You won''t be able to find a car yourself. Stop messing around. Hurry up.


    It''s getting dark in a while and it will be very cold."


    Seeing that she couldn''t refuse him, Meredith could only tell him another address that near the house


    so as to get off early and walk back on her own.


    Parker sent her to the ce she said. Meredith folded his coat neatly and put it on the seat. "I''m


    leaving."Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    "You have to take good care of yourself. Don''t fall ill as soon as I get you all the information you want to


    know."


    Meredith nodded with a smile and watched the man leave before slowly walking back to the Xaviers.


    ...


    Back at the Xaviers, Meredith saw Derek''s car parked outside at first sight and she was a little


    flustered. She hurried back to her room but found someone inside when she opened the door.


    Derek sat cross-legged in a chair and looked at her with a leisured expression. His eyes were so cold


    that Meredith almost shuddered at that moment.


    "I... I am back." Meredith forced herself to speak while Derek sneered.


    "It''s not easy for you to leave Parker ande back home, right?"


    Meredith was stunned. A stack of photos was suddenly thrown on her face. The man strode over,


    grabbed her long hair, and forced her to look up at him. "It was fun going to the beach with Parker,


    wasn''t it?"


    Derek found that Meredith was not there when he got home. After he waited for a long time, he finally


    sent someone to look for her. He did not expect to see that she and Parker were sitting at the beach


    having a date like a couple.


    In particr, Meredith even put on Parker''s clothes in the end, which made it possible for him to


    imagine if they had done something they shouldn''t have done.


    "I didn''t!" Meredith shook her head. "He and I are just friends..."


    Meredithughed at herself after the words. It was useless to say this. How would Derek believe her?


    Sure enough, the man threw out all the photos in his hands after hearing what she said. He loosened


    her hair and pinched her chin. "A woman like you wouldn''t have any friends. He just wants to have sex


    with you in this name. After all, he doesn''t have to pay you for having sex with you."


    Meredith had heard all kinds of sarcasm from Derek countless times but this kind of personal


    humiliation was still unbearable to her, not to mention Parker was not that kind of person.


    Why did he always think everyone so despicable?


    "Derek, you should really despise me since you think of me like this."


    "Or else?" Derek sneered. He stretched out his hand and tore open her blouse. "You''re smart this time


    for not leaving any trace but I have to check the other parts. Take off your clothes and lie down on the


    bed."


    Derek ordered coldly.


    Meredith did not move this time. In the past, she did a lot of things that she could not bear to think


    about because of fear. Now, she didn''t want to continue like this.


    "No, Derek, since you think I''m disgusting and hate me so much, you should divorce me."


    Meredith said with difficulty and was well prepared to bear the wrath of him.


    "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll send you back to prison?" Derek was really angry. It was Meredith who went


    out to flirt with another man again. How dare she disobey him like that?


    Did she think that she had the ability to fight with him with Parker by her side?


    Meredith was silent for a moment. "Yes."


    She dared to say that, not because she was fearless, but because she believed that Parker could find


    evidence to help her overturn the case. She would go crazy if Derek continued humiliating her like this.


    "Good, very good..." Derek''s eyes were cold. The next moment, he pulled Meredith''s slender body


    against the wall. His hand was stuck on her neck with a strong strength that almost suffocated her.


    But even so, Meredith had no intention of begging for mercy.


    She didn''t want to live in the Xaviers without any dignity anymore.


    "Meredith, it''s impossible for me to satisfy you and your adulterer."


    Seeing that she refused to give in, Derek became angrier and angrier. He flung her onto the bed and


    left rough bruises on her smooth skin.


    Meredith pushed her hard but her hands were quickly fixed by him. Derek took off his tie and tied her


    hands to the bed.


    "No, let me go. Since you think I''m dirty, don''t touch me!"


    Meredith resisted but it only made Derek angrier. Just as he was about to enter into her body, the


    woman under him suddenly hunched over and retched. Her face suddenly turned pale.


    "What''s wrong, Meredith? Have you learnt new tricks just to preserve your integrity for Parker? Or are


    you disgusted if you have sex with other men except for him?"


    Derek felt angrier looking at Meredith''s teary sad face. However, it seemed that Meredith was not


    deliberately pretending like this.


    After a short pause, he took two steps back and mmed the door to leave.


    Meredith coughed a few times as she listened to the loud mming of the door. She wiped away the


    tears which came out because of her retching but the feeling of nausea did not diminish, and it even


    became stronger.


    Meredith didn''t go out at dinner time. She didn''t want to see Derek again so she asked someone to


    bring her food in.


    The servants brought her all her favorite food. Meredith took a look but she had no appetite at all.


    However, she reluctantly picked up her chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls when she thought of what


    Parker said to her.


    Unexpectedly, that disgusting feeling appeared again. She wanted to restrain the feeling but she still


    couldn''t resist the instinctive reaction of her body. She covered her mouth and rushed into the


    bathroom, throwing up violently.


    When she threw all things in her stomach up, she came out of the bathroom with a pale face. However,


    she felt nauseous again when she saw the food.


    Meredith threw all the food out andy on the bed coughing.


    What was wrong with her?
