Ellie immediately agreed and found Evelyn, who did not leave yet.
When Evelyn saw her coming, she pursed her lips.
It was an accident that Ellie was adopted by Old Master Smith. Back then when he went hiking, he had a heart attack. It was Ellie who found him and called someone to save his life.
Later, Old Master Smith found out that Ellie was an orphan, so he adopted her.
Ellie was very outstanding, ever since she was adopted by Old Master Smith, her academic performance and performance of work were very excellent. So Evelyn, who liked to play around, was not favored by her family.
There were even rumors that Old Master Smith wanted Ellie to take over some of the shares and be on equal footing with Evelyn.
"I don't think you are trying to steal something from me again."
Evelyn narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold tone. The friendliness she showed in front of Old Master Smith was gone at this moment.
Ellie immediately shook her head. "No."
"That's great. You should remember that you are just an outsider adopted by my grandpa. Don't try to compete with me about the Smiths' properties. You... Don't deserve it."
Ellie lowered her head and said nothing, but clenched her fist tightly.
It took her a long time to force a smile. "I'll drive you there."
Evelyn snorted coldly and got in the driver's seat arrogantly.
Ellie took a deep breath and told herself not to argue with her.
Last time, the man that chasted after Evelyn, somehow, turned to pursue Ellie because he thought Evelyn was too hot-tempered. Because of this, the stiff relationship between the two of them turned worse.
Perhaps, Ellie would be relaxed until Evelyn married someone.
Derek returned to the hotel and immediately contacted the Research Center.
Because the Smiths finally agreed, Professor Lee also agreed to go to J City for surgery.
Damian couldn't wait any longer and offered to send him back.
Derek did not refuse. He knew that Damian was missing Penelope now, and it was useless to force him to stay.
And...
Leaving him and Meredith alone would be great.
However, Meredith did not get him. When she heard that Professor Lee could go to J City for surgery, she immediately wanted to go back with Damian.
Derek stopped her in a hurry. "Don't you need to check what happened in the Smiths?"
Meredith thought for a moment. "Yeah."
So, he just asked Damian to bring Professor Lee back. Meredith sent Damian away and kept telling him that when the surgery began, he should tell her in time. Then she would know the situation so as not to worry about it.
When Damian left, Meredith finally felt relieved.
Derek looked at the time. It was late.
"Shall we go out for dinner?"
After all, it is the biggest city in Z Country and the food here was famous.
Hearing what Derek said, Meredith looked at the time and felt a little hungry, so she nodded and agreed.
Derek went to drive and was about to take Meredith out to find a place to eat when Evelyn rushed over in time.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Derek.
Although she didn't have much contact with Derek, because he saved her life, Evelyn was determined to catch him.
"Mr. Xavier, what a coincidence."
Evelyn greeted him with a smile.
Meredith could not help but frown.
Evelyn obviously drove here on purpose.
