The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 32

Parker was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had lost his composure. Then, he

coughed softly and took a sip of the water in front of him to ease the awkwardness.

They talked about trivial things as if nothing had happened, and then Parker got a call that wanted him

out. Tactfully, Meredith stood up and bid him farewell.

"I'll give you a ride." Parker took the car key and offered to take her home gentlemanly.

Meredith shook her head. "Don't bother. Have fun with your friends."

She didn't want him to know that she lived with Derek, which was hard to explain.

Seeing that she quickly packed up her things and left decisively after saying goodbye, he felt a little

melancholy in his heart somehow. Meredith was neither humble nor arrogant, which was rare for a

woman.

He was intrigued by her.

Meredith waited at the bus stop on the side of the road. After a while, a luxurious sports car stopped in

front of her. "Get in. My friends can wait. How long are you going to wait like this?"

"I'm fine. The bus is coming soon. Go and have fun."

Despite her insistence, Parker got out of the car, grabbed Meredith's wrist, and tried to force her into

the car. "I'm taught to send home a lady who treats me to dinner. Let's go. I'll send you..."

Beep!

A sharp horn interrupted Parker

Parker frowned and looked up, only to see a sports car parked in front of him, which was even cooler

than the one he was driving today.

It was a Rolls-Royce Phantom global limited edition, which may be sole in J City.

Meredith was also startled by the piercing sound. When she saw clearly who was driving the car, her

heart gave a great bound.

Derek?

How did he get here?

In Derek's eyes, Meredith's flustered expression came from her guilt.

He rolled down the window with a frigid face. "I'm sorry, sir. Your car seems to be parked in the wrong

place."

When Parker saw Derek, he frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes. Derek

shouldn't embarrass him in front of a lady.

Derek was no more than a nodding acquaintance whom he had met several times before, so the

hostility didn't make sense.

"Quick. Let me give you a ride. We're in the other people's way."

Of course, Meredith couldn't get in the car. Derek's gaze lingered over her body like a knife which was

to cut her through. "Thank you, but that's really unnecessary."

Derek watched the two in a tangle and remarked coldly, "Sir, you shouldn't force a lady who has

already refused you."

Parker was a little angry. "I'll move the car first. Meredith, wait for me."

With that, Parker was to move the car away, but as his car just slid forward a little, Derek suddenly

stepped hard on the gas pedal and the two cars collided slightly, scaring everyone present.

"Are you crazy?" Meredith was startled. Although it was just a small crash, the damage would cost a lot

given that they were both luxury cars.

Obviously, Parker didn't expect this. He got out of the car and frowned as he looked at where his car

got crashed. At this time, Derek said aloofly, "A car crash is a small thing, but hitting on the wrong

person is a big deal."

Parker perceived that he was implying something. "What do you mean?"

Meredith's face turned pale. She didn't want Derek to say anything bad about her to Parker.

Parker was one of the few people who accepted her and encouraged her. She didn't want him to dislike

her after hearing what Derek might say.

"You'd better leave now."

Subconsciously, Meredith tugged at the corner of Parker's shirt, hoping he wouldn't listen to what Derek

would say.

"It means..." Derek saw Meredith's small movements and the worry on her face, which irritated him

even more.

What was she worried about? Was she afraid that he would tell the truth and make the new moneybag

she took efforts to find hate her again?

How shameless.

"Sir, an innocent woman might have a dirty mind. Just take my kind advice: don't be fooled by an

innocent face and don't cherish an apple of Sodom."

Derek's voice was indifferent and melodious as usual, but to Meredith, it was as terrifying as the voice

of the demon.

Parker didn't have to be very quick-minded to get his overtones, especially when he saw that

Meredith's face darkened immediately.

Looking at Meredith's slightly trembling shoulders, Parker suddenly felt the urge to protect her. He

shielded her behind him and said, "Thank you for your advice but I think the best way to know a person

is not from others' words. Save your kindness for other people."

Derek looked at Meredith, who hid behind the man, and his eyes dimmed. "Is that so?"

Meredith could hear the smoldering anger in Derek's deliberately lowered voice. If she continued

provoking him, he might say more unpleasant words.

Therefore, Meredith whispered to Parker, "Mr. Hill, just leave... Please!"

Parker naturally didn't want to leave, but when he looked back and met Meredith's pleading eyes, his Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

heart softened. "Are you really okay?"

After Meredith nodded, Parker got into the car, holding back his anger.

However, the anger in Derek's heart was not quenched by Parker's leaving.

And he felt worse when he saw Meredith's gaze fixed on Parker's car that was getting further and

further. He stepped hard on the gas pedal.

Meredith was frightened by the blue shadow flashing past her and stumbled back to avoid it.

She almost got hit by a car!

Meredith felt her legs weak and fear still lingered in her heart as she watched the car get smaller in the

distance.

How could he be such a lunatic?

Meredith sat at the bus stop and rested for a while before recovering from the shock. After a long time,

a bus heading towards the Xaviers finally arrived.

...

When Meredith got home, she took a look at the garage. The sports car wasn't there, which suggested

that Derek hadn't come back yet.

Seeing her, Vivian wore a sarcastic smile on her face. "Young madam is back? Young master seemed

very angry about what you did when he went out."

Meredith looked at her and saw the unmistakable gloating in her eyes. She had always been nice to

Vivian, but why did she mess with her time and time again?

"Humph, one day the young master will see your true colors and kick you out." Seeing that Meredith

wouldn't quarrel with her, Vivian felt bored.

"Do you count on that day to take my place?" Something dawned on Meredith as she looked at her.

Was it because Vivian had feelings for Derek? That was why Vivian was targeting her all the time?

"What are you talking about? Nonsense!"

Her fury confirmed Meredith's guess.

However, Meredith did not think that Derek would marry any woman who didn't match his fortune and

status.
