Chapter 192
After Jenny knew that Meredith did not like Parker, Jenny's attitude was much better. After a few words
of small talk, she was about to leave.
However, as soon as she walked out of Meredith's house, the smile on Jenny's face disappeared and
she looked thoughtful.
After having the conversation, she could tell that Meredith was not lying. She really did not like Parker,
but... Parker's feelings for her were serious.
Jenny hesitated for a moment, and just then, a phone call came in. It was Parker's assistant. "Sister
Jenny, Derek is looking for Meredith's whereabouts everywhere. I'm afraid he'll go to find Mr. Hill soon."
After all, Jenny was the partner of Parker, and many of Parker's men treated her as another master, so
they would communicate with her whenever there was anything inconvenient to talk to Parker.
Jenny's eyes darkened. Sure enough, Derek came very quickly.
"I see. I'll deal with this."
Then she looked back at Meredith's house. Parker had indeed wronged her, but she did not allow him
to use his future to make up for it.
Since Parker couldn't bear it, she was willing to be the bad guy.
...
In the Xavier Group.
In Derek's office.
The cold and oppressive atmosphere covered the whole space. There was no extra expression on
Derek's face, only a bone-chilling coldness and anger in his eyes.
Now, almost a day had passed since Meredith had escaped from him. Since she had nothing on her,
he could only search everywhere like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the clues were still very
vague.
The man looked at the document in his hand, but didn't read a word. Damian walked in and said,
"Boss, we're already looking into it, but we still need to wait for the details."
Derek stood up immediately. Wait? He didn't have the patience anymore. Now he just wanted to find
out the woman who dared to play tricks to escape and give her a good lesson.
"Keep looking. Go to find Parker with me."
Derek narrowed his eyes. The child in Meredith's belly was Parker's. After thinking about it, he felt that
she was most likely to be at his place. If he didn't hurry up, perhaps the two of them would already
leave together.
"Yes." Damian looked at the cold Derek who exuded a murderous aura and swallowed a mouthful of
water. It had been a long time since he had seen such a side of his boss. He was afraid Parker would
suffer a lot!
...
Parker did suffer a lot. If Meredith wanted to leave, she had to apply for a visa and so on. Normally, he
could easily handle these for her. But now, Derek gave a strict order and everyone's departure
information needed to be checked very strictly.
In that case, Parker really did not dare to act rashly. After all, in the J City, he did not have the ability to
confront Derek.
Just as he was thinking about how to solve the problem as soon as possible and avoid any future
trouble, the secretary came in hastily. "Bad news, president, Mr. Xavier from the Xavier Group is here."
Parker broke the pen in his hand suddenly. Naturally, he had expected Derek to come over, but he
didn't expect it to be so soon. Derek was more impatient than he had thought.
After all, it wasn't a small matter for Derek to come to him, which meant that Derek was planning on
falling out with him.
Just as he was thinking, Derek had already barged in. Parker's men stopped him, but Derek didn't care
at all. It was as if he was coming to a place with nobody there.
Parker looked at Derek's calm but turbulent expression and stood up as if nothing had happened.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xavier. Why are you looking for me here? What's the matter?"
Derek curled his lips. "I didn't expect Mr. Hill to be good at acting, but I'm too busy to play this boring
game with you. Where's Meredith? Take her out."
Parker's face turned gloomy in an instant. He was really fed up with Derek's arrogance. It was as if
everything was under Derek's control and Derek didn't care about him at all.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
Parker pretended not to understand what he said, which made Derek's anger explode. Derek stepped
closer and said, "Parker, no, it should be... Xavier Parker? Do you think that if you change your name,
no one will know your past? You're just an illegitimate child born by a woman who interferes with other
people's marriage. How dare you... talk to me like this?"
Every word of Derek was as cold and sharp as a knife. The sarcasm and disdain in his words made This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Parker furious.
"What about you? Derek, you have your pride and arrogance only because of the Xaviers. What do you
think will happen if you lose the support of the Xaviers? Meredith is indeed with me now. She was
willing to leave with me. If you are a man, don't make things difficult for a weak woman."
"Isn't it bad enough for your the Xaviers to hurt her in court and prison?"
Parker clenched his fists and looked into Derek's eyes. The atmosphere between them was tense and
anxious. It was as dangerous as a barrel of gunpowder that might be ignited at any time.
"That's my business. I'm questioning you. Will you hand Meredith over now?"
Derek heard him talk about the thing of prison and frowned, but he didn't intend to give up. It was
impossible for Parker to take Meredith away.
"I won't give her to you in case that you will continue to hurt her."
After hearing what Parker said, Derek was extremely furious and laughed. "Okay, remember what you
said."
Now that Parker turned down his request, Derek didn't have to save face for him.
"Although Mr. Hill has been working hard in recent years to get rid of those stains on you, but...
anything you did will leave a mark."
Derek took out an USB flash disk from his pocket and threw it on Parker's desk with a sneer. "Do you
want to see what's in it? I'm sure it'll bring back a lot of memories."
Parker's face changed. He didn't expect Derek to act so fast. It was less than a day, but he had
already...
"Don't worry, this is just part of it. I have more in my hands. I'll give you 24 hours to think about whether
to hand over Meredith and let me make it easy on you, or you want tp let the disgraceful things you've
done in the past go public and ruin the foundation you've worked so hard to build? I look forward to
your choice."
With that said, Derek let go of his hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the fingers that
had just grabbed Parker's collar, and then threw it down lightly.
When doing so, he did not say a word, but the contempt was so obvious that it was as if Parker was
some disgusting filth.
Parker clenched his fists. Derek could always provoke him in the simplest way.
