Chapter 68
"Did you ask Derek to cancel his investment in the Howards? What the hell you told him? Projects of
several hundred million dollars have been withdrawn. Do you know that because of this, Leo and your
sister broke up? Your sister is in the hospital now. She is so weak that she needs to inject nutritious
needles. It's all your fault."
Wesley saw that Meredith refused to come over, so he had to endure his anger, get out of the car, and
walk over to teach her a lesson.
Meredith frowned. Wesley didn't have to lie to her about this. That was to say, Derek really canceled
the cooperation with the Howards. Was this... for her?
Thinking about this, Meredith felt a little confused, but she didn't show anything. Instead, she looked up
at Wesley and said, "Do you think I have such ability?"
Meredith did not dare to believe that Derek had done this for her. A man like him, who was always
rational and always did things without any ordinary human feelings, would not make such a decision for
a woman.
It must be because there was something wrong with the Howards.
"It must be the Howards's own problems that caused the stock price to plummet, and then the Xaviers
canceled the investment. Mr. Xavier, don't you think it's contradictory that you put all the blame on me?
After all, I am the trash in your eyes, the trash that shouldn't exist. If I am a trash, how can I be so
capable?"
Wesley was so angry that he couldn't speak anything. He remained silent for a moment, "Your sister
has been badly struck by this. You are her sister anyway, so can you..."
"No, I can't." Meredith didn't even have the patience to wait for him to finish his speaking. Did he plan to
push for an emotional feel after failing to convince her?
However, there was no sisterly relationship between her and Ava. Ava could not see her living well.
She was the same. The more miserable that bitch was, the happier she was.
"Well, well, you don't even care about your sister. Then, do you not care about your mother anymore?"
Wesley saw that Meredith was immune to both soft and hard tactics, so he could only use his trump
card.
After he finished speaking, Meredith looked at him with a look of utter disdain, as if she were looking at
a pile of disgusting rubbish, which made him feel guilty.
How could she have such a father who used her mother to threaten her for many times?
"I already know mom is in the sanatorium in Country M. It's only a matter of time before I find her."
Meredith stared at Wesley, not daring to miss his reaction.
As expected, the confident man's eyes flickered for a moment.
Only then did she confirm that her mother was indeed in Country M.
She had asked Julius to check the details of the photos that Clara had sent her. Although he couldn't
find out the exact location, he could find out which country she was in. It was located in a state in
Country M.
The only problem was that Julius did not have much influence in Country M. It was impossible to find
everywhere. It was like finding a pin in the sea.
"Do you think I should go and ask Derek to help me find my mother's whereabouts and get out of your
control forever, or I should just do as you said and continue to endure without protest?"
Wesley did not expect her to have this ability. After a moment of hesitation, a trace of cruelty flashed in
his eyes, "Do you think I really dare not do something to her?"
Meredith's heart trembled. She felt aggrieved for her mother, but she still gritted her teeth. "If you dare
to do something to her, I will destroy the Masons and let you taste the pain which is greater than that a
thousand times. Do you think I have the ability?"
Now, Meredith understood that in order to protect her mother she repeatedly backed down to the
Masons. This just hurt her mother.
These people would go overboard again and again. If Meredith wouldn't be able to threaten them one
day, they might not care about her mother which was just a "chessman" for them anymore.
Therefore, she could no longer wait helplessly for the end. Instead, she had to take the initiative.
Wesley was silent. If it was Meredith who had nothing before, then he could treat her as making
irresponsible remarks and ignored her words.
But now, she had Derek who was behind her. If she really wanted to retaliate against the Masons, it
was only a matter of the action of the Xavier Group.
Wesley had lived a hard life before. And for such a person, he would often be more greedy for the
prosperity and wealth that he now had. Because he was afraid of the fact that he would have a hard life
again, he was afraid of losing, so he did not dare to use the Masons to risk.
"Meredith, you really let me down," Wesley said powerlessly. Then he turned around and got into the
car.
Meredith watched him leave with a cold smile. Disappointed?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Just because she rejected his unreasonable request. What was it when they tried to destroy her again
and again?
He was really strict with others and treated himself with leniency.
A beautiful golf course in the suburbs.
Mr. Xavier walked slowly, and Derek followed behind him unhurriedly.
This afternoon, the old master suddenly called and said that he had something to tell him. But when
Derek came, he didn't say anything. He just took Derek for a walk here.
Now, it was evening. The sunset dyed the clouds in the sky a bloody red. They were beautiful but
somewhat melancholy.
The Old Master looked at the brilliant sunset and finally opened his mouth. "Derek, what happened to
the Howards' investment?"
Derek's heart sank. As expected, this matter could not be hidden from the Old Master. So, according to
the reason that he had already thought of, he said, "A while ago, I restarted the various inspection
activities of the Howards, and found that their management method was backward. Although they still
have some strength now, it won't go on for long."
"Is that so?" The Old Master turned his head and looked at him sharply.
It was hard to hide anything under such a wise gaze.
"Yes," Derek replied expressionlessly.
"If it is true, that's good." Mr. Xavier looked at the tall and strong grandson in front of him and couldn't
tell what he was feeling.
Although Derek told the truth, Mr. Xavier, with his strong intuition for many years, felt that it was not that
simple.
The thing that he didn't want to see most was Derek made the decision for a woman.
If a man was influenced by feelings, it would be difficult for him to have a bright future in the end.
Besides, that woman was Meredith.
"How are you getting along with Meredith recently?" Mr. Xavier did not pursue the matter any further,
but changed the topic and mentioned Meredith.
"Not bad."
Derek thought about it and didn't say anything. He just thought that in just a few months, they were no
longer at loggerheads like they were at the beginning.
At first, Derek only thought that she was a criminal and an unscrupulous bad woman, but when he
came into contact with her, the bad impression that he thought would never change gradually faded
away.
He could no longer find the deep disgust and hatred he had for her.
The old master looked at his calm eyes and knew exactly how things stood.
In the past, Derek would have said that he hated Meredith, and he should have hated her. After all, it
was that woman who made him lie in bed for three years.
