Chapter 253


    Seeing Amelia struggling to kneel down, Nn remained unmoved. "It''s useless for you to kneel down


    and beg me now. I''m just following orders. The only thing you can do now is to actively receive


    treatment here and not let Meredith''s painstaking efforts go to waste."


    "the Xaviers... How could the Xaviers be so ruthless, how could they do this to my daughter?"


    Amelia understood that it would make no difference no matter what she said now. She pounded on the


    bed and couldn''t help but cry. She med herself for getting into the current situation. She might as


    well have died from the illness, so she didn''t have to drag Meredith down.


    Now, where was her daughter? Would the Xaviers do anything bad to her? Amelia was tortured by


    these thoughts, her eyes red, and she almost lost her mind.

    Nn took a look at her and called the doctor to inject Amelia with the medicine to make her fall


    asleep.


    As an assassin trained by the Leslies from a young age, having seen all the deaths happening in the


    hospital, he was already numb to this. For him, Amelia''s response was more bewildering than moving.


    They would be fine if they just did what was told, but they had to struggle like a wild animal trapped in a


    cage. Resisting would only bring more pain. Why did the mother and daughter never understand?


    Nn nced at Amelia again. "You guys keep an eye on her. Don''t let anything happen to her. If she


    wakes up unstable, continues to inject sedatives, and then use nutrient solutions to maintain her basic


    life needs."


    Nn left the hospital after giving a cold order.


    This job, for no reason, annoyed him. He only hoped that the marriage between the Xaviers and the


    Bets would end as soon as possible, lest he might continue to do this kind of thing.


    ...


    Time passed quickly, and the day of the Xaviers and the Bets''s engagement soon arrived.


    For the engagement ceremony, the two families did everything they could. Not only did they invite all


    the relevant parties to witness it, but they also contacted the local media to make the ceremony a


    headline.


    Derek woke up early, but he was not in a hurry to change into the suit. Instead, he was staring nkly


    at the custom-made dress.


    What the hell was he doing? Meredith was still missing, and he was actually going to be engaged to


    Chloe with a fake smile on his face.


    It shouldn''t be like this...


    Derek lost control and mmed the vase on the table onto the ground with a loud, piercing sound.


    Violet was trying on her dress. But when she heard the noise, she rushed over and saw that Derek had


    not changed, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.


    "Derek, why haven''t you changed? There are so many guests waiting for you to go down. You can''t


    make a scene now even if you''re in a bad mood."


    Violet took the clothes personally. "Damian came in, you keep an eye on the young master and help


    him change."


    Knowing that the person Derek trusted the most was Damian, Violet specifically called him back.


    "Damian?"


    Derek frowned deeply and watched Damian appear in front of him. After Violet left, he said, "Why are


    you back? Didn''t I ask you to look for Meredith abroad?"


    Damian looked at Derek confusedly. "Boss, didn''t you say you wanted to handle this on your own after I


    reported it to you?"


    Damian was originally on standby abroad, but seeing that Derek had not acted and the engagement


    ceremony had been carried out in an orderly manner, he thought that Derek decided to give up


    Meredith and did not want to have any conflict with the other elders of the Xaviers for her.


    Since Derek had made his decision, Damian naturally wouldn''t say otherwis. After all, he was just an


    outsider. Even if he was worried about Meredith, he couldn''t interfere with the Xaviers family affairs


    "Report?" Derek quickly realized something. "What did you report? Show me!"


    Damian was confused, but he still took out his phone. He hadn''t deleted the message and it was still


    there.


    Derek''s face darkened when he saw the words. "Who is it?"


    When Damian saw Derek''s face, he had an ominous feeling in his heart. Could it be that the boss didn''t


    see his message at all?


    But at this critical moment, how could he tell him?


    Now that the entire city''s media had gathered, if anything unexpected happened, it would be messy.


    So, Damian bit his words back, "I''m sorry, boss, I... Can''t say it."


    The veins on Derek''s forehead throbbed. He wasn''t even in the mood to ask who was the person that


    answered the message. He just wanted to know where Meredith was and whether she was okay.


    "Damian! Say it!"


    Derek grabbed Damian by the cor. The pressure was so strong that Damian could not help but be


    frightened.


    He had never seen Derek so angry, like a beast about to lose control.


    The movement in the room made Violet, who had been waiting outside, feel uneasy. She pushed the


    door open and walked in. She saw Derek grabbing Damian by the cor, his face cold and angry.


    Even though as his mother, what she saw just now still made her heart skip a beat. "Derek, what''s


    wrong with you? It''s alreadyte now. What are you doing?"


    Seeing Violeting, Damian had a feeling of being saved. His relieved expression fell into Derek''s


    eyes, making him suddenly seem to understand something.


    Damian was his confidant all along. There was no need to doubt his loyalty. There was no one else


    who could make him hesitate like this except for someone in the Xaviers!


    "the Xaviers?"


    Derek had thought about many possibilities, not without suspecting that the Xaviers had captured


    Meredith, but he had not delved into them.


    In his opinion, the Xaviers would not do such a thing to a pregnant woman no matter what he thought


    of the Xaviers.


    "..."


    A shock shed in Damian''s eyes. Although he tried to hide it, it didn''t escaped Derek''s eyes.


    "No wonder..."


    Derek let go of his hand. Damian staggered two steps and breathed heavily. Only then did Violet


    understand something.


    She guessed Derek already knew that Meredith''s disappearance was caused by her.


    Violet''s smile did not change at all. It was still the perfect angle. "You know?"


    "Damian, get out."


    Derek''s face was calm and he looked at the woman in front of him with a look he had never used


    before.


    Violet was the person he respected the most. His father died early when he was a child, and his mother


    had raised him by herself in a wealthy family. In his eyes, his mother was the noblest and decent


    woman in the world.


    But what she did disappointed him.
