Yes, she was provoking her. Anyone could tell that.
Derek stood aside, keeping out of the confrontation between the two women. He did not think that Meredith went too far.
After all, compared to the suffering his mother had inflicted on Meredith, Meredith only said a few unpleasant words.
"How dare you..."
Violet was so angry and gritted her teeth.
"Hey, it's just a throwaway remark, but you already can't stand it. If I..."
"How dare you?"
Violet had never been so furious like this for a long time. She pointed at Meredith and her fingertips were trembling.
"Do you think you are emboldened by Old Master's agreement? I'm telling you. As long as I don't agree, even the Old Master can't help you."
Derek finally opened his mouth. He had already been fed up with his mother's fierce resistance.
"Mom, although you may not be happy to hear that, grandfather is the only one who can call the shots in the Xaviers. You can't stop him and you have no right to object to his decision."
"You..."
Violet was infuriated. This scene repeated itself again. Her son was against her five years ago. Now, he was still against her.
He did it all for the same woman.
Thinking of this, she looked at Meredith with a strong disgust and anger.
Derek's face darkened.
Meredith was expressionless. But she suddenly felt very tired. She closed her eyes and stood up, "I'll leave first."
"I..." Derek wanted to say that he would go with her and send her back.
She said directly, "I want to stay alone. Don't follow me."
The greenery around the Xaviers mansion was so big that if she didn't take a car, it would take so long. So, Meredith didn't refuse the car the housekeeper had arranged for her and let him send her out of the Xaviers mansion.
She walked alone on the street, thinking about how she had behaved in the Xaviers. Meredith could not help but smile bitterly. Even she herself did not know who she was just now.
Meredith walked and walked, not knowing how long she had been walking. When she suddenly stumbled and almost fell, she suddenly woke up. Then she sat alone on a stool on the road and watched all kinds of people.
After a while, she took out her cell phone, flipped through the address book, and shook her head at the pitifully limited contacts in it.
In today's society, it was quite strange to have such few contacts.
She called Penelope and hung up after a few words.
Not long after, a fiery red car stopped in front of her. Penelope rolled down the window and took off her sunglasses. She waved at her and whistled.
"Hey, beauty. Where are you going? How about I give you a ride?"
Meredith couldn't help but laugh and seemed not to be gloomy anymore.
Seeing her get into the car, Penelope stepped on the gas, "Tell me, where do you want to go?"
"... Bar."
The car jerked to a halt. Penelope looked at her through her rearview mirror and blinked, "Where did you say you wanted to go?"
