The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 42

The old master slowly walked down the stairs, his pace slow, but with an oppressing aura that no one dared to question.

Amber felt guilty for no reason.

The old master glanced at them. "There are some things that I don't want to say. But it doesn't mean I don't know. You should behave yourselves."

"I don't want anything about Meredith and the Xaviers to be revealed. If someone has the guts, have a try."

After a few words, the huge dining hall was silent.

Meredith lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence.

"So, is she really Derek's wife?" Amber asked in a hurry.

The old master did not say a word but only gave her a cold look. Then Hans quickly pulled her back, "We know. We won't talk about this matter."

The old master nodded and took a look at Meredith, "You did a good job yesterday. Remember to behave the same in the future."

Meredith nodded. The atmosphere of the meal was particularly depressing.

After dinner, the old master called Derek to the study alone.

"I understand everything about yesterday. From now on, I'll leave all those companies for you to manage."

The old master shook his head. Originally, because of Derek's accident, he changed his mind and wanted to be close to his relatives.

But yesterday's events clearly reminded him that those people just wanted his property and were not trustworthy at all.

"Yes, I see." Derek nodded, his eyes expressionless.

"By the way, what do you think of Meredith? You even stood up for her today. Aren't you..."

The old master tried to sound out his thought. Derek had always been cold and indifferent. Especially when it came to matters between women, he wouldn't get involved.

Just now, he was against Amber in public because of Meredith, which made the old master suspicious.

"Just because she did me a favor yesterday, that's all."

Derek frowned slightly. Although that was the case, he just subconsciously stopped Amber. He didn't realize it until he moved.

It wasn't like what he would do.

"Well, that's good. Derek, you can't have any feelings for her. I left her here just to keep you safe and sound. A woman like that doesn't deserve you."

The old master said this and waved his hand. He was old, so he was tired at the moment.

Derek nodded and went out, as if thinking of something.

...

Meredith followed Derek to the company as usual.

However, all the way, Derek's expression was unusually cold today. Although he usually had no expression, Meredith still felt that he was in a bad mood.

So, the two of them didn't say anything along the way. When they got to the company, they went to do their own things.

Meredith cleaned for a while on the top floor. After a while, Damian came over and asked her to help deliver the things.

Meredith went downstairs with the documents, only to find that the usually orderly office had become a little restless.

"Ava is here. She looks even prettier than on TV."

"She seems to be filming commercials for our company."

"According to the grapevine, the price she asked is only half of her usual endorsement price. The advertising department got a big bargain..."

Meredith stood for a while. When she heard Ava's name, she suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

Especially when she knew that Ava had deliberately lowered the price to come here to take the endorsement, Meredith was more certain that Ava must have come here with no good intentions.

Thinking about it, Meredith quickly handed the documents over to someone so as not to meet Ava and get upset, but it was too late when Meredith realized it.

Meredith was about to leave when Ava came over and greeted her with a surprised smile. "Eh? Sister? Is it you? I didn't recognize the wrong person, did I?"

Ava was surrounded by a group of people. She stood not far away, quietly looking up and down at Meredith.

When Ava saw that Meredith was much better off than she had imagined, a gleam of coldness flashed in Ava's eyes.

Ava didn't expect what Meredith said to be true. Meredith actually joined the Xavier Group.

With her experience, there must have something to do with Derek for her to be in this company. Could it be that the Xaviers's young master really liked Meredith?

Depressed, Ava still walked over enthusiastically. "Sister, why don't you tell me that you're working here? If I know, I can put in a good word for you."

Tell her? To wait for her evil sister who pretended to be kind in public to mess up the job she finally found?

Meredith was silent, but there was sarcasm in her eyes. Obviously, she didn't want to pretend to be polite and compliant.

When Ava saw this, she put her arm around Meredith, seemingly affectionate, but she pinched Meredith in a place that no one could see.

Ava's nails were long and well cared, so they were exceptionally strong. At the moment, Meredith almost felt the nails with the crystal pierced into her flesh, and the pain was unbearable.
