Chapter 23
Before Meredith realized what had happened, Clara rushed out of the and held Meredith's hand tightly,
"Mer, it was me who wrongly blamed you. Now I apologize to you, and I apologize to you for Lili. Please
forget this thing and let it go. Lili is still a child and she is ignorant."
"Forget it? Ignorant?"
Meredith suddenly raised her eyes. Her face which was as small as a palm was as pale as paper with
cold sweat dripping down her face. She looked so helpless. Only her eyes were bright and sharp. "How
could Lili be called child since she is three years older than me? Why didn't you think about letting it go
when you sent me to the ?"
Meredith clenched her fists. She really hated Clara. She wanted to go to tear up Clara's hypocritical
face.
Meredith looked at Clara's aggrieved look. Just after a while, Clara's eyes were red which made her
looked pitiful, as if she could endure anything for her child.
Who wouldn't be moved when seeing Clara take on such a look? Since Meredith was a child, she had
suffered so many losses for things like this.
"If your daughter said and she did, she should bear the consequences. Let her learn how to behave
herself here. Remember, you can't say things you are not allowed to say." Then Meredith took a taxi
and left.
Clara stood there, gritting her teeth. "What an annoying girl. Not only did she get to know the Xaviers,
but also she got help from an invisible rich man behind her."
"Little bitch, let's wait to see what will happen!"
After a long day, Meredith was exhausted, but as soon as she got home, Derek asked her to go to the
study.
The whole family whether the young or the old all liked to blame people in the study. The saying that
people who are from the same family act similarly was true.
Meredith stood not far from the desk. Derek looked up at her after finishing the documents, "Tell me
how you got into the ."
"What does this have to do with Mr. Xavier?"
Since Derek didn't help her, why should she tell him so much?
"Meredith, you're my legal wife. If you were arrested at the , it would be a shame for me and I felt that
someone was slapping me in the face. I don't care what you suffered there. I just need to know if they
were coming for the Xaviers."
"Heh." Meredith sneered. What a cold-blooded and heartless husband.
"They just came for me. Have you forgotten that we had signed the agreement? Other People don't
know our relationship. How can they take the opportunity to bully me to hit you in the face, President
Xavier?"
"Good. Then you can go out."
Derek waved his hand and Meredith turned around to go out. The moment she stepped out of the
study, Derek said again, "Meredith, I don't care if you are dead or alive, but if you dare to humiliate the
Xaviers outside, you will not live well."
Meredith lowered her eyes. This man was no longer the one who could warm her up on a cold night
and listen to her talk.
"Got it."
She went out, closed the door, and left with a poker face.
When Meredith went back to her room, she found that shopping bags were placed all over the floor.
Looking at the brand, these clothes were from the shop where she quarrelled with Lily.
She didn't buy them. Why would so many clothes be sent to her room?
The phone rang again. It was that man, "I bought all the clothes in this store for you. They are all in
your sizes. How about them? Do you like them? Stupid woman, remember not to be bullied outside and
let me help you solve all the troubles!" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Meredith's eyes were filled with tears and her lips trembled. She unconsciously said out what she had
never dared to say, "Come over tonight. I promise you."
These days, except for this man, no one else had helped her. Those people would only hurt and bully
her endlessly. Besides this man, she could never think of anyone else to trust.
After hanging up the phone, she wiped her tears and cheered herself up again. She hung up her
clothes in the closet, but was stunned when she saw a secret compartment in the closet.
...
At midnight, Meredith slept on the floor as usual. Derek was still reading the documents in the study.
She nervously put her hands under the pillow to confirm the flashlight was still there, then she felt more
at ease.
Suddenly, she was hugged by someone from behind. She knew it was him.
"Finally, you come."
The man's chest was pressed against her back, and the warmth spread through her pajama to her
skin, but she didn't feel warm at all. She only felt cold from body to heart.
"I was surprised that you agreed today." The man grabbed her red and swollen wrists that had been
handcuffed today and gently rubbed it. He was extremely gentle. If Meredith had not felt cold at the
moment, she would have been moved to believe him with all her heart and soul.
Meredith turned over and leaned against his chest, saying softly, "Now, I can only rely on you."
The man chuckled and hugged her even tighter, "Of course, if you follow me, you will live a better life
than with Derek."
Meredith sneered in his arms. "Is that really the case? Whether Derek or him, they are all devils!"
After that, the man reached his hands into her clothes and began to invade her recklessly.
Meredith's whole body tensed up and her heart beat like a drum. Just wait a little longer, just a little
longer!
When he was completely relaxed, she could take action!
Her breathing became rapid not because of the man's provocation but because Meredith was really
nervous and excited.
Tonight, she wanted to see who this man was!
Just as the man was about to break her last line of defense, Meredith reached out for the bright
flashlight under the pillow and the glare shone directly on the man's face!
