Meredith opened her mouth weakly, trying to explain. She just wanted to get out of here and not disturb anyone's life. "I didn't think about what you said. Am I that bad in your heart? I..."
However, in the middle of her sentence, Derek interrupted her impatiently.
"Stop it."
Meredith took a deep breath and swallowed the words that she intended to say. Since Derek didn't want to hear and believe them, there was really no need for her to continue.
The two of them remained silent. After a while, Derek's phone rang and he left in a hurry.
Meredith ignored him, and just opened her eyes when the man left. She was tired.
...
After Meredith was taken away, Parker began to ask subordinates to find out her whereabouts.
However, in J City, the Xaviers's power could be said to be unmatched, and even if Parker mobilized all resources he had, he could not find her.
Parker didn't know how Meredith was now.
Worry and anger flashed in Parker's eyes. He hated his helplessness. Derek was a madman. He couldn't hurt Meredith so easily and unconcernedly.
It was just...
He had always thought that the feelings between Derek and Meredith might not be so deep. After all, at most, Meredith had only been out of prison for a year. Could the affection between them be that profound?
Or did Derek already know Parker's identity and deliberately make things difficult for him?
Thinking of this, Parker put out the cigarette in his hand. This time, he did not want to lose again. He wanted to let Derek suffer failure and the loss of his lover. He wanted Derek to experience all the suffering Parker had suffered before.
...
Derek returned to the Xaviers, and Violet was anxiously waiting for his news.
Seeing Derek come back, she walked over. "How's it going? Have you dealt with her? That woman Meredith, have you driven her out?"
The matter between Parker and Meredith now became a source of Violet's anxiety. Undue delay might bring trouble. Violet hoped that Derek would not let her down.
"I've dealt with her."
Derek indeed knew his mother's idea. She thought they should drive Meredith and Parker out of the J City, but...
In the end, he went against her wishes. The thought of letting Meredith and Parker live a happy life abroad together with their illegitimate child made his heart burn like it was on a fire. He felt twisted and painful.
"Parker still has some influence in the J City. We can't kick him out for a while."
Derek was indeed thinking about getting Parker out of the J City. If he left, would Meredith stop having unrealistic fantasies?
"For this, I believe you. What about Meredith? What did you do to her? What about the bastard in her womb?"
At the thought that Meredith gave birth to another man's child instead of Derek's and let Derek be this illegitimate child's father, Violet wished she could find her and forced her to have an abortion because she was so brazen.
