The Good Girl's Revenge
Chapter 172

Derek's heart sank because Violet rarely spoke in this tone. "What happened? How could you..."

"It is very important. I will go to the company to talk with you."

Violet sitting in the car glanced at the two people, who were chatting happily together at the entrance of the restaurant, and her face became colder and colder.

She was so lucky that she happened to saw this. Otherwise, Meredith might have succeeded in her scheme.

She would never give that illegitimate child any chance to get a penny from the Xaviers.

After hanging up the phone, Derek dismissed the people in his office.

Violet's serious tone made Xavier very nervous, for he didn't know what was going on...

After a while, Violet arrived at the company. She went upstairs and saw Derek, saying "I saw Meredith."

Derek frowned. Meredith, what did she do this time?

These days, he deliberately did not contact her and gave her a cold shoulder. It was obvious that he, Derek, wanted Meredith to know that he was a man of principle. The matter of the baby must be settled as soon as possible.

But Meredith was unexpectedly stubborn that she hadn't contacted him yet. The two of them were now in an impasse and neither of them took the initiative to contact the other.

"Do you know who she was with when I saw her?"

Violet's eyes were full of anxiety. "She was with Parker. Do you know?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

On the way to the company, Violet had already asked someone to investigate Parker. It turned out that he had disappeared that year, not because he was dead or what, but because he realized that someone was against him. So he had to conceal his identity and developed himself in secret.

It was out of her expectation that a young man like him had succeeded from scratch. Violet regretted her carelessness. Such a trouble should be nipped in the bud so that Derek's status would be unchallengeable.

"Parker?"

When Derek heard that name, his face darkened and his thin lips pursed.

Well, Meredith hadn't contacted him for the past few days and immediately hooked up with Parker. No wonder she was so calm and relaxed. She thought that she had found a back-up, so there was no need for her to worry about the future?

"That's not the problem. Do you know who Parker is?"

Derek looked at Violet in puzzlement. Only then did Violet determine to tell Xavier about her humiliating past which involved Parker's family background and his identity.

After Derek heard this, he still looked calm on the face, but he was actually very surprised and deeply stirred.

Parker, an illegitimate son of his father?

Derek did not have much impression of his father, who had died in a car accident when Xavier was still very young. Other family members were afraid that it would have a negative effect on his development, so they rarely mentioned anything related to him.

Derek never thought that, in the past, his father had even wanted to divorce his mother and abandon them for another woman.

"So, you know what I mean. Meredith might have hooked up with Parker a long time ago. The baby in her belly is most likely his. Think about it. If she was really wronged, then it's natural that she now wants to ally with an outsider to revenge on the Xaviers."

Violet said hatefully, "And Parker. Although he's doing well now, it's still impossible for him to pose a threat to your position and to return to the Xaviers. But if they manage to bring the baby in Mason's belly into the Xaviers, the situation will be different. If they succeed, the owner of the Xaviers will change after many years."

Hearing Violet's words, Derek held the pen in his hand so tight that even his fingers trembled.

This was indeed a very reasonable explanation, and he even remembered that Meredith had been very anxious to make him believe that the baby was his that day.

At that time, Derek only thought that she didn't want to be separated from her baby. But now it sounded like, maybe, she did not think the same way as he did from the beginning..

Did she approach him just to help Parker to revenge?

"Derek, tell me, did Meredith ever say that this baby was yours and that you should be responsible for it?"

Violet looked at his son's darkened face and knew what had happened. She couldn't help but rejoice that she had seen through their trick by coincidence today. Otherwise, according to the current situation, Meredith might be able to bring Parker's child into the Xaviers, then nib away the Xaviers's assets, and in the end, steal everything that belonged to Derek.

Derek took a deep breath, but the annoyance in his chest did not subside. Instead, he became more and more annoyed. "I know, mother. I will take care of this matter.”

"Derek, don't let me down."

Violet looked into her son's calm eyes and urged him once again. She believed that the heir she had brought up would not be as stupid as to be played by others.

Violet left.

Derek was left alone in the office. The man suddenly took off his coat and threw it on the ground. At this moment, he did not want to suppress his anger.

Meredith, good, really good. He didn't expect her to be so calculating that she could fool him and even conspire with an outsider to set him up and take revenge on the Xaviers.

He had indeed misjudged and underestimated her.

"Go, find out where Meredith is now."

Derek called Damian in. His voice was freezing cold, making others tremble.

Damian didn't dare to neglect his order, and he had done such things many times. Ann had installed a GPS in Meredith's phone, so he quickly found her location.

Derek glanced at the address, then walked out, leaving behind him a messy office.

Damian looked at the messy office and couldn't help but touch his nose. He didn't know what had happened between the two of them and why Xavier was so angry.

After dinner, Meredith and Parker made clear of some material they needed to prepare to go abroad and were worn out. Parker found that Mason was tried. "Let me take you home. Have a good rest. Don't get dark circles around your eyes every day."

Meredith nodded and then Parker drove her home.

Maybe it was because she didn't sleep well, or she had just finished her dinner, Meredith felt drowsy. She tilted her head and dozed off in the car.

Parker noticed this and couldn't help but slow down the car. It was really nice when he was driving while the person he liked was sleeping soundly next to him.

Having spent so much time in the sophisticated world, Parker found that such kind of peace was what he really longed for now.

However, no matter how slow the car was, it still reached its destination. Parker stopped the car and looked at Meredith, who was sleeping soundly. He hesitated and did not want to wake her up. So he rummaged in her bag and found the key. He opened the door from Mason's side and carefully carry her in his arms.
