"No, I'm not sad.” Meredith waved her hand with an indifferent expression.

Amelia looked at her for quite a while before smiling. "It couldn't be better if you could really let it go. After all, that's what I've always been worried about. There will always be countless women paying court to him. If you meet a woman with a hot temper, you might get hurt.”

Meredith nodded, slightly absent-minded.

After a while, the doctor came in for a daily checkup. Meredith took an excuse to go out. She took out her cell phone, and opened the browser to check the news her mother talked about.

She searched for quite a while, but she could not see any relevant content no matter what keywords she used. It was so strange.

Did Derek delete the news?

Meredith made a guess. But she became more anxious for being not able to reach the news.

There were two voices in her heart. One said that since she had decided to let it go, she shouldn't have watched the news about him, or it has nothing to do with her.

The other one said that reading the news was of minor importance to her after she decided to let it go. Otherwise, when she thought of it later, she would feel more panicked.

Thinking over this question, Meredith clenched her lips. Coincidentally, two nurses came over. The two young girls were all talking about the latest gossip of the day.

"Did you see the news that Derek went out on a date with the young lady of the Smiths?"

"I saw it, but somehow it was deleted. It is weird."

"Hehe, do you remember? There was a rumor that Little Young Master's mother of the Xaviers was back. Maybe Derek deleted the news because he didn't want her to see it."

"He can delete the news but not the memories of others. That woman is really pitiful. She gave birth to children but ended in this situation. Tsk tsk, tsk. It's not easy to be a wife in a rich family." Listening to their words, Meredith came to feel heartbroken.

She had thought that after she prepared herself mentally for so long, she would not be very sad about the gossip.

But she still felt very sorrowful when she heard others blatantly talking.

These rumors hurt her self-esteem and made her a pitiful person in the eyes of others, that is, a scheming girl who attempted to marry into a rich family but in vain.

She was more eager to know about the news, which lead to those rumors.

"Did you see the news? I didn't see it. Can you show it to me?"

Meredith thought about it and went over to talk to the nurses.

The nurses didn't know who Meredith was either. Seeing that she seemed innocent, a nurse took out her phone and said, "Hey, I like to read gossip news and save them in time. Now you know I'm so smart. Look at the photo. The people on it look like lovers in an idol drama.”

Meredith took the nurse's cell phone, and her hand trembled slightly with no one noticing it.

She opened the page only to see the deleted news, which was about how powerful the two families were and how many benefits they would obtain if the two young people get married.

Meredith glanced over and saw the picture below.

Immediately, the light in her eyes dimmed a lot.

A man and a woman in the picture were extremely intimate and physically close to each other. Normally we just can't take it, not to mention a man having cleanliness like Derek.

Hehe, he just said some sweet words. He could not resist the temptation of beauty and money... Meredith had a mixed feeling, but she smiled faintly.

"Can you send me a copy? I want to keep it."

"Ah? Well okay.”

The nurse didn't expect her to make such a strange request. But looking at Meredith, she didn't say no for some reason. "Okay, but don't talk nonsense. If my leader know about it, I'm done.” Meredith nodded and transmitted the web page file to her phone by her Bluetooth.

She had to keep these things well and reminded herself not to be swayed by Derek's momentary tenderness.

It was meaningless for her to be with such a man, because she was low in social ladder.

Derek was at the company. Although all the damn fake news had been cleared by the Xaviers, he was still very annoyed.

Just as every colleagues was under the influence of the boss's bad mood, an unexpected person came.

The other protagonist of the gossip, Evelyn, actually took the initiative to come here.

"I want to see Mr. Xavier."

Evelyn was straightforward as usual.

Derek was uneasy when he heard a subordinate’s report. He had to admit that he could not fathom this woman.

She published this fake news about him without his permission and even took the initiative to come to his door. Did she really think that because she was supported by the Smiths, he would never dare to do anything..

Derek became solemn. Whether this woman was the young lady of the Smiths or not was uncertain. Besides, even if she was the young lady, it did not mean that he would tolerate her misdeeds again and again.

"Let her come up.”

Derek spoke faintly. The receptionist at the front desk was surprised.

Yesterday because of Miss Smith, her colleague was relocated to a more relaxing position at the Logistics Department with doubled salary. She was also waiting for Evelyn to lose her temper today. Unexpectedly, the boss actually allowed her to go in. It seemed there was no chance of salary raise. With an inexplicable regret, the receptionist politely said to Evelyn, "Miss Smith, please come in. The president is waiting for you upstairs.”

Smiling, Evelyn took out her makeup mirror and looked at herself. Before coming here, she had especially worn very delicate makeup. She looked gorgeous but not gaudy, which could definitely impress a normal man.

Stepping into the VIP elevator, Evelyn looked at the changing numbers on the elevator, and her heart was pounding faster.

With a ding-dong, the elevator stopped on the top floor.

Stepping out and taking a few steps, Evelyn saw Derek sitting on the sofa.

At this moment, the man faintly smiled with a seemingly innocent evil charm. Through the brown glass, others could feel he boasted the inexplicable charm that made Evelyn's heart beat faster. "Mr. Xavier, you finally answered to see me."

Evelyn refrained her emotions, walking in and talking gracefully.

Derek looked up at her. "Ah, after all, I was curious how Miss Smith is going to see me after a self- conducted gossip.”
