"Nothing has happened to her until now. But, how she will be like will depend on your performance."
"Wesley, don't be too shameless!" Meredith was enraged. From the beginning to the end, her mother had never done anything to betray him.
At first, Wesley was just a poor boy who had nothing but ambition and talent. It was her mother who brought the family's property and accompanied him to work from dawn to dusk, so he could set up this company.
However, Wesley's reward to Meredith's mother was that he brought home a mistress after he gained success and became wealthy. That mistress was a young girl, who was at the similar age as Meredith. He had tricked her daughter into prison and trampled on her. Or what his reward was that he had threatened her daughter with her illness after Meredith's mother fell ill?
"Meredith, mind who you're talking to. Haven't you learned how to be polite in the past few years?"
"I show courtesy to people. But there is no need to be polite to those shits." Meredith clenched her fists and a sharp pain hit her, but she didn't feel it.
"Meredith, I'm warning you not to talk nonsense for the last time. Since you don't know the rules and manners of life, when you go back to the mansion of the Masons tonight, I'll teach you well. If you don't come, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Wesley said coldly and hung up the phone.
Meredith listened to the cold electronic prompt tone and wished she could just rush over and kill this brazen man with a knife.
After all, he and Meredith's mother were husband and wife for more than ten years. Even if he had a pet, he should have developed affection, but he used Meredith's mother's illness as a bargaining chip so calmly.
However, despite her anger and hatred, when it was time to get off work, Meredith could only do what Wesley said.
She had no room for argument.
At the mansion of the Masons, Meredith was shut out and waited for a long time before she was allowed to come in.
She thought it was Wesley's revenge on her. He was a man who must take revenge and wouldn't let anyone get away.
"Well, have you learned how to speak in a polite way?" Wesley stood on the steps and looked at her arrogantly.
Meredith didn't answer his question. Instead, she said, "You asked me to come. Probably it shouldn't be just for this."
On the way here, she was already mentally prepared. No matter what Wesley did, she had to be tolerant and make him tell as much about her mother as possible.
"You must immediately withdraw your appeal against Lily."
Meredith pinched her fingers hard.
"Lily entered the because she slandered me of stealing. I don't think she is wronged. Besides, it was not my lawyer who wanted to sue her. It's useless for you to talk about it with me."
Lily had bullied her more than once, and Meredith really didn't want to let her go.
Wesley pondered for a long time. He just heard that Derek had woken up, but the Xaviers hadn't announced it yet. Lily's matter was so difficult to solve. Could it be that Derek helped her behind her back?
"Meredith, I know you've gotten in with the Xaviers, but take a look at yourself in the mirror. Will the Xaviers allow you to marry into it? You are just like a dog counting on their backing. Don't be so shameless."
A dog counting on their backing?
Meredith suddenly found it very ridiculous. Which father would use such harsh words to describe his daughter? If she depended on others to achieve what she gained now, then what about him?
Was he a barking old dog?
"I can't do this." Meredith was in no mood to argue with him.
No way would she let go of Lily.
"Your cousin is still a girl who hasn't been married. Why can't you think about it for her? If she keeps a criminal record in the future, how could she get married?"
Wesley frowned.
His words fell into Meredith's ears, making her feel as cold as being thrown into a glacier. The coldness she felt seemed to come from a place covered by miles of ice all the year round.
For Wesley, he could care about anyone. He could think of anyone's future, but not that of his biological daughter!
