"Derek, are you crazy? My mother..."

Meredith felt a pang of guilt at the thought that her mother, who was still in bed, had become a thorn in the eye of so many people because of her.

As a daughter, she went to prison at an early age. Not only did she fail to fulfill her filial piety, but also got her mother into trouble again and again... sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meredith suddenly felt that she was being too superfluous. Her existence never seemed to bring anyone anything good.

"Meredith, I advise you not to think about calling Parker or expecting him to save you. Now that his company's stock price has plummeted, I'm afraid he won't have the time to look for you."

Derek's indifferent voice came, lingering in Meredith's ear like a spell, and made her heart sink again.

Parker's company's stock price plummeted? Meredith couldn't believe it. She immediately checked the information about Parker's company on her cell phone. As expected, the internet was full of all kinds of negative news and it seemed that the company was about to collapse.

No wonder he didn't answer the phone. It turned out he was in trouble, and it was all because of her?

"You did it?"

Meredith looked at the still tightly closed door, her voice trembling with disbelief and anger.

Derek didn't answer her directly. "I'll give you five minutes. Come out on your own. Otherwise, I will let Parker suffer from more misery, which will be worse than his current trouble.”

Derek didn't need to be lenient with Parker. If he got rid of Parker, he would vent his mother's anger.

Meredith clenched her fingers so hard that her knuckles were all white. Meredith was biting her lower lip so hard and she didn't realize it was bleeding.

How could Derek be so despicable that he even threatened her with people close to her whom she cared about?

However, thinking of her mother and Parker getting involved in trouble and suffered because of her, Meredith felt her psychological pressure was so strong that she would almost collapse.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry... It's all my fault...”

Derek looked at his watch patiently. He had no doubt that Meredith would come out. "You have one minute left to think about it."

As soon as he finished the words, the door was opened with a swish from inside and Meredith walked out expressionlessly. "I'll go with you. Don't hurt them anymore.”

Since she was powerless to resist, perhaps it was better for her to calm Derek's anger as soon as possible so that there would be fewer people getting into trouble.

"Well, you finally figure it out, don't you?" Derek looked at Meredith's expressionless face but felt not so easy to accept it as he had thought.

She had such a grim face without expression when seeing him. Was she so unwilling to leave Parker?

Thinking about it, the man suddenly had an idea. "It's OK if you want me to let Parker off the hook. But you have to call him and personally tell him about this!"

Derek said word by word. He just wanted to make Parker understand that no matter it was in the past or now, Parker, an illegitimate child that could never be exposed in public, should never plan to take away what he Derek wanted!

Parker was not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath with him.

Meredith glanced at Derek, her eyes full of things that the man could not understand.

This was the first time that Meredith had found out that Derek was so cruel that he would extinguish all your hopes and let you fall into despair before he would stop.

"Derek, I'll go back with you. I won't run anymore. Can you not..."

Meredith understood that Parker would definitely be irritated when he received her call. If he did something because of this, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Meredith, I'm not discussing it with you. I'm informing you. If you don't want to, I can let him try the taste of losing everything now."

Derek looked at her angry expression, and the anger in his heart became even stronger. He wanted to break the only connection between these two people. He wanted to make sure that Meredith dared not to get involved with Parker for the rest of her life.

Meredith clenched her phone and the news that she had just seen flashed through her mind. Parker's situation was very bad now. If Xavier Group suppressed his company again, it would not be long before his company collapsed.

"OK."

Meredith lowered her eyes. Derek took out his phone and called Parker.

When Jenny saw that it was Derek's call, she went and got Parker who had been busy with meetings. Just now, when she saw Meredith's call, she thought that the woman was calling for help, so she just muted the phone. Parker didn't have the energy to help other women now.

Did Derek's call indicate that things had already been resolved?

Jenny passed the phone to Parker. Parker rubbed his temple and saw Derek's name on the screen. He then answered the phone.

"What's going on? Mr. Xavier, why are you calling?”

"It's me." Meredith's voice came, and the aura that Parker had just forced up collapsed in an instant. This was clearly Derek's number. Why was there Meredith's voice? She had already been found out? How could it be so fast!

Countless thoughts flashed through Parker's mind, and he immediately stood up. "Meredith, where are you? Don't worry. I'm going to save you now!"

Hearing Parker's words, Meredith was so moved that she wanted to cry. It was because of her that he had suffered from so much trouble for nothing, but he still supported her like this without any hesitation. She would remember this kindness.

Therefore, she could no longer get him involved because of her.

"Parker, I'm sorry. I'm dragging you down. You don't have to look for me. I'm fine..."

Meredith said word for word and Derek's looking at her back made her feel like a thorn pricking her back. Therefore, she did not dare to say what he didn't allow her to say and could only try to make this matter clear.

"Don’t worry about me. Nothing will happen to me. Take care of your company.”

"Meredith, where are you? Don't listen to him. I'm fine. Tell me your address quickly!"

Derek looked at Meredith's eyes glistening with tears and felt a little more agitated. It seemed like he was the villain in those boring romantic TV series and was breaking up a couple of lovers.

This feeling was terrible.

"Meredith, you should finish the call.” Derek urged in a cold voice and Meredith bit her lower lip hard. "Parker, take care. Goodbye."

After that, she hung up.

Parker yelled at the disconnected phone in vain, but Meredith couldn't hear him.

He seemed to have lost his soul and sat directly in the chair. His eyes lost their luster.

Once again, he watched Meredith being taken away from him by Derek. He had never succeeded in protecting her!

"Damn it!"

Parker was suddenly annoyed. Derek did it on purpose. He deliberately let Meredith call him, which disturbed his heart and extinguished the last hope in Meredith's heart.

How could this man be so arrogant and cruel?
