Chapter 78
Meredith stayed in the room for a while. Not long after, Nova came back and gave her a set of clothes.
Meredith changed into clean clothes and said to Nova, "You must keep it a secret."
Meredith had already accepted her fate. Now that she had no ability to seek revenge on that man, she Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
could only bury this matter in her heart and wait for time to heal her.
"Of course." Nova nodded. Borrowing clothes could be a big matter or not, and she was not that stupid
to talk around.
Meredith grunted and turned to leave, but Nova suddenly saw the man's shirt she had left behind.
"Don't you bring the shirt with you?"
Meredith shook her head. She didn't want to see anything related to that man. That night yesterday had
become her nightmare.
She just hoped that she could wake up from the horrible dream as soon as possible.
Derek was awakened by the morning sun. He moved his arm and realized that there was no one lying
beside him.
Where was that woman last night?
Derek suddenly remembered the craziness of last night. That woman was crying under him, groaning
in a low voice, as enchanting as a fairy.
The thought of that aroused Derek's desire. He didn't expect that he had a feeling of being fascinated
by a woman's body.
Derek had always disdained the one who allowed his lower body to control his brain. He put on a cold
face and was going to take a cold bath in the bathroom to wake himself up. Only then did he see the
badge that had been left on the floor.
"Nova?" The man murmured the name, and an interest flashed through his eyes.
Last night, what did she say? He raped her, and he was committing a crime?
Looking at the dried dark red blood on the ground, the man's eyes darkened. Perhaps he should visit
this woman.
Thinking about it, Derek called Damian to bring him some clean clothes, and ask him to check on this
woman named Nova.
Soon, Damian arrived at the hotel room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Derek drinking red
wine from a tall glass. Derek was only wearing a loose bathrobe, revealing his strong chest, which was
now full of scratches.
Damian quickly looked away and couldn't help but think his boss seemed to have a very enjoyable
night. He had been Derek's assistant for so long, and it was the first time that he had seen such an
indulgent side of his boss.
Damian didn't know which tramp had left those marks.
"Go check on this woman." Derek took the clothes that Damian had brought and handed over the work
badge he had picked up. "She should be the hotel staff. I want to see her before I get off work today."
Damian nodded and immediately went out to check on the girl.
Derek changed his clothes unhurriedly and sneered at himself in the mirror. Last night was really an
accident, but the man who dared to drug him must have been tired of living.
Thinking about that, Derek straightened his collar and strode out with a chilling smile on his face.
At the Xaviers's mansion.
Mr. Xavier sat at the huge dining table, across the table were Hans and his wife, and Seth, who had
just returned yesterday.
"Uncle, Derek suddenly left the party yesterday, and now I don't know where he went. I'm really
worried!"
"Yes, I was going to introduce a few young ladies to him, but he just disappeared."
Hans and Amber quickly told Mr. Xavier that what Derek had done last night.
"All right, stop talking. Derek is not a child. Can he still get lost?"
Mr. Xavier looked at Seth and Andy and his wife, who only knew how to cause conflicts in the family,
and his expression became gloomy.
The two of them failed to get Mr. Xavier to be their side, feeling embarrassed, thinking that the old man
was indeed backing up his own grandson However, they wanted to see how the old man would react
after he knew Derek had slept with one of the servants.
Just as they were thinking that, Derek came back.
Seth looked at his cousin, who was the most favored one, with a sneer on his lips.
Derek looked up and met his eyes. But Derek's eyes were even colder. At least, they made Seth, who
was confident, a little scared.
Derek walked over and nodded at Mr. Xavier without looking at the family of his Second Uncle.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
"Derek, you suddenly left the party yesterday. What did you do? Why did I hear some bad rumors?"
Amber saw how arrogant Derek was and immediately started to cause him trouble.
"Oh?" Derek smiled, but his eyes were still so cold, with no smile in them at all.
Derek had intended to find out who was behind it, but he didn't that Amber was so stupid and jumped
out to say that.
"I would like to know what bad rumors are they."
Derek sat down calmly, his legs crossing gracefully, and there was not a hint of panic in his expression.
"I heard that you slept with a servant yesterday. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed if others know it,
right?"
Derek was sure that what happened last night was caused by the family of his Second Uncle and
Vivian.
"Then you might ask her to confront me." Derek said calmly, making his Second Uncle and his wife feel
a little uncertain.
Vivian was called out, and when she saw them, she was in a panic.
"Second Aunt, is she the one you're talking about?" Derek smiled. "Is that you? What happened
between you and me yesterday?"
As soon as she saw Derek's cold eyes falling on her, Vivian trembled and the memory of being almost
strangled yesterday came to her mind.
However, she did not dare to tell the truth when she came back. She simply lied to Hans and the others
and said that she had succeeded.
But Vivian didn't expect that Hans didn't want to help her become the young madam of the Xaviers at
all. He just wanted to use her to create a scandal.
"I was wrong, Young Master. It was because I was bewitched by Second Master and the others to do
such a thing. Please, Young Master and Old Master, please spare me."
After listening to this, Mr. Xavier understood everything. It was Hans and Amber who had conspired to
destroy his most valued successor.
"You bastards, get out of here!"
Mr. Xavier picked up the crutch in his hand and throw it at them directly. Hans was shocked. "This
damn girl framed us. She wanted to become the Young Madam of the Xaviers. Why did you blame us?"
For a moment, the living room was in chaos, and in the end, Old Master Xavier slapped the table hard
to calm them down.
"You get out of here! Derek. Follow me to the study."
Derek nodded and followed Mr. Xavier upstairs. It was only one day that he felt his grandpa's back
bend a little more.
"It's my fault. I am getting old and become less cynical. I want to get along with my family, but I didn't
expect they did something bad to you."
Mr. Xavier shook his head. To tell the truth, he was not bad to Hans and his family. Although it was
impossible to give the Xavier Group away, the business that was given to them would be enough for
them to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives, if they took good care of the business.
Unfortunately, they were not satisfied.
