The Good Girl's Revenge novel 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?"

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."
