Chapter 196


    After knowing Parker''s film had an ident, Asher had a sinister foreboding.


    It happened too suddenly. Could it be...that Derek had found out something? Did their n seed?


    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 ufortable.


    "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?


    I''m in a beauty parlour now. Do you want toe 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 vi 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 thepany 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 pped 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 ced 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 exin 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 exin anything to her, Violet felt more and more disheartened. The paining


    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


    After Old Master heard the news, he quickly rushed over. The first thing he did when he arrived was to


    p 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.
