Derek avoided Meredith's gaze. "You don't have to worry about these things.”

Meredith immediately understood that her guess was right. It was the Xaviers that was pressuring Derek. Suddenly, she felt a little tired.

"Am I..that bad?"

If Derek weren't with her, but with Chloe, or any girl from a distinguished family, the Xaviers wouldn't have come here and questioned him angrily.

"Don’t think too much. I'll take care of these things."

Derek stroked Meredith's hair. Now, the quickest solution was to clear Meredith's name. The rest could be solved in the future.

Meredith was not in a good mood, so Derek sent her home. "Have a good rest.”

Meredith smiled. It seemed that it was great if one's immediate superior was the big boss. At least, it gave her a lot of convenience in asking for leave and skipping work.

"OK. See you tomorrow." Meredith got out of the car, waved at Derek and watched the man leave before she slowly went upstairs.

Just as she reached the door and was about to take out the key to open the door, a cold female voice rang in her ear. "Meredith, you are finally back.”

Violet stood at the door of the apartment that Meredith rented. Her well-preserved face was cold. Meredith's heart skipped a beat when she saw the woman. When she saw her expression and heard her tone, she understood that the woman didn't come here to bond with her. However, the woman was Derek's mother, so Meredith could only pretend as if nothing had happened and greeted her. "Hello, auntie."

They were just two meaningless words but they ignited Violet's anger.

Violet couldn't help but think to herself. Did this woman know she had caused a tempest? She had opened her eyes in the morning to see the picture of her proud son and a female prisoner, a woman she had always looked down on. At that moment, she wanted to tear Meredith apart. Meredith, on the other hand, just greeted her as if the tempest didn't exist. Did she really think she was the young madam of the Xaviers now?

"Meredith, the last time we met, I have told you everything that needs to be talked about. I think you know exactly about your status. But you still seduced Derek this time. Are you completely shameless now?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If it wasn't for the Xaviers's efforts to cool down the situation, the rumors would have spread all over the city, and if someone used Meredith's identity to stir up trouble, it would only have destroyed Derek's reputation.

Meredith was stunned for a moment. She never expected Violet to think so badly of her, as if she had known nothing but try to seduce men.

"Auntie, I don't know what I've done made you so angry but I want to say that I didn't do that back then. I'm already working hard to investigate the case, and there will be results soon...”

"I don't want to hear your results.” Violet thought Meredith was just making an excuse. She glanced at Meredith disdainfully. "Is this the kind of lie you used to deceive Derek? I didn't expect you to have this ability.”

Meredith was speechless. She had taken the rap for Ava for no reason. How could this be her fault? However, she finally got to know that in Violet's eyes, her existence was a big mistake. She was a lowly person. Even if she had never been in prison, the Xaviers would turn up its nose at the Masons.

Meredith stood still. She didn't know what to do. Since she was disgusted by Violet, she was wrong no matter what she would do. She'd better not to do anything.

Thinking about it, she opened the door. “Auntie, since you said so, maybe this talk doesn't have to continue.”

Violet was angry at Meredith's calm demeanor. She had never seen such a shameless woman. Even someone came to her place to scold her, she could remain so indifferent.

"Now that things have gone this far, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Stay away from my son from now on. Not everyone is qualified to approach him. The Xaviers has been very kind to you. Please don't push too far. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson.”

Meredith opened the door and bit her lower lip. She also had feelings. Of course, she felt hurt of being so openly despised. However, she did not talk back and just opened the door and walked in. Violet watched the door close in front of her. "Did your parents raise you like this? You cannot bring benefits to Derek, not to mention that you are a burden.”

Violet was arrogant. Seeing that Meredith had already entered, she would not knock on the door and yell. She was sensitive about her reputation.

Just as she was about to leave, Nanny Zhang, the next-door neighbor, suddenly walked out. She was shocked to see a woman who looked very rich standing at the door.

Then, an idea came to her mind. Was the woman here to seize her husband who was fooling around with the neighbor?

Last time, she and her son saw a man on the balcony flirting with Meredith. They looked very close, and they even were scolded by that man

Originally, she wanted her single son to hit on Meredith, but when she found out that this woman was notoriously indiscreet about her private life, she dropped that idea. Especially after learning that the man her neighbor dated drove luxury cars, she disdained Meredith even more.

She thought her neighbor must be a mistress of a rich man and that she really had a knack for pretending.

"Are you coming for that Meredith?"

Nanny Zhang came over mysteriously. "That woman is really bad. She was flirting with a man on the balcony a few days ago. How shameless!"

Violet wouldn't have talked to such a person before, but when she heard that, she was intrigued. "What did you say? Did you see it?"

"Of course. She and that man almost did it on the balcony that day. If we hadn't come out to cook and see it, they would have done something shameless. If you knew someone close to her, you'd have to be careful!”

After listening to this, Violet's already gloomy face became even gloomier. She could not wait to tear Meredith apart. How could such a dissolute woman addle her son's brain? She might have a venereal disease.

Nanny Zhang left, but Violet stood still and did not leave. Now, she could no longer maintain her elegance. She just wanted Meredith to get out of J City as soon as possible.

Violet walked back and started knocking.

Meredith was tidying up her things when she heard the frantic knocking on the door. Frowning, she walked over and opened the door. Just as she was about to say something, Violet pushed the door open with an imposing manner and strode in.

Meredith staggered and almost fell to the ground. She quickly held the doorknob to maintain her balance, then looked over in shock. "Auntie, what are you trying to do?"
