The Good Girl's Revenge

Derek sat in the room without moving. The faint scent of blood was still in the air.

It was quiet outside since he threw everyone out.

Damian left to look for any sign of Meredith, though it was somewhat pie in the sky.

After all, it had been all cleaned up here, and it was an uninhabited island with no witnesses at all. It was also hard to figure out who did those things.

"Meredith, you'll be fine, definitely..." Derek looked at the blood on the wall.

the Xaviers had always been very cautious about these things. The blood must have been very dark so it couldn't be cleaned up and then was left here.

So, how much pain did she suffer and how much blood had she lost on the day she gave birth? No one knew that. Derek felt as if his heart had been squeezed by something. In the empty room, he could do nothing but touch the wall.

"Meredith, it was my fault. Please come back..."

The man let out a wail of despair and his mournful cry echoed in the room.

What Derek did quickly reached Violet. In the past few days, she had thought that she could have breathed a sigh of relief since Easton had been brought back, and Meredith had disappeared, and the engagement ceremony had finally ended smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Derek found the uninhabited island and had asked others to look into the accident before.

Why did he pay so much attention on that woman?

Violet was quite unhappy.

Without taking a rest, she rushed to the uninhabited island where Derek was.

Violet hated that place to the extreme since it was there where the woman Violet hated the most had given birth to a child of the Xaviers.

Derek was sitting in the room where Meredith had given birth. He knew that the Xaviers would send someone here sooner or later. Now that the alliance of the Xaviers and the Bennetts by marriage had just started, he ran out and was nowhere to be seen. This would certainly arouse suspicion outside.

the Xaviers wouldn't look unconcerned, so someone would definitely come to him.

He needed an explanation, an explanation about Meredith.

When Violet arrived, it was already night.

There was a beautiful sunset in the sky, and its crimson color was as red as bright red blood. Violet felt a little nervous somehow.

It was hard for her to forget that day when she came here and the scene she saw. It was different from the successful birth she had given at the noble hospital. The scene when Meredith gave birth was simply tragic.

At the thought of the strong smell of blood, Violet still felt sick.

"Where is he?" Violet only wanted to bring him back as soon as possible. She planed to sell the island to others after she had completely wiped out the relevant traces. Thus the disgraceful memories would be wiped out as well.

"He is in the room."

Someone came out to lead Violet in.

Violet followed him in, but as she walked, the annoyance in her heart became more obvious because she was clearly taken to the room where Meredith gave birth.

Why was he there?

Violet was a little confused with a grim look. When she walked to the door of the room, the door was closed. It was quiet with no sound inside, but it was gotta rattle her nerves.

"Wait outside.” Violet said coldly. "Don't let anyone near us."

Next moment, something in their talk might defame the Xaviers so she couldn't air the dirty laundry of the Xaviers in public.

"Yes."

Everyone retreated respectfully, and then Violet knocked softly on the door. "Derek, it's me." Derek sat on the floor, which was so cold. If he sat there for a long time, his body would become cold, but he did not seem to notice that.

"Please come in." Derek's voice was calm, even cold.

Violet walked in and noticed the faint smell of blood still lingering in the room. She frowned. "Now every news outlet is waiting for you. You're here, and nothing will change anymore. Go back with me."

"Meredith is still alive.” Derek suddenly sneered. He looked at Violet, the woman standing at the door, with a faint sign of craziness in his eyes.

He didn't believe that Meredith was really dead. It must be a lie of the Xaviers.

Violet looked at her son's pathetic and depleted figure. She had never seen such an expression on his face before.

As his mother, was not she the closest person in the world to him?

Had their relationship been worn thin just because of a woman?

"She's dead, Derek. She's really dead!"

Violet cried out in a broken voice. She had no regard for the manners as a lady. This place, and the way her son looked at her, made her nervous.

"Don't you believe me, I'm your mother!"

"Mom, this is the second time you tried to control me with the title of my mother...”

Derek murmured.

The first time, she forced him to get engaged to Chloe, or else she wouldn't have had the surgery and made him guilty about killing his mother for the rest of his life. He compromised.

Now, again, with the title, she tried to stop him from looking into the matter.

She used the word "mother" to make him so depressed.

Why did they become like this?

Violet's heart suddenly lurched. She took two steps back. She never expected Derek to say these words.

"Derek, you really..."

"Really...what?"

Derek interrupted Violet.

He stood up and walked closer step by step. "Did I really disappoint you and the Xaviers?"

Violet was suddenly speechless. She did want to say that, but now she couldn't.

"You disappoint me too.”

Derek tugged at his hair in pain. At the thought of how much pain Meredith had suffered here, that she might not be in this world anymore, and that he would never see her smile or hear her voice again,

Derek felt like he was going crazy.

However, his mother was the one to blame for this, so he couldn't even avenge Meredith.

"I always thought you were the best mother in the world, and I never wanted to disappoint you, but now..."

"I don't know if all of this is right or wrong. Maybe Meredith is right.”

When she heard Meredith's name, Violet took two steps back in fear.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Derek's mouth. "She used to say that the Xaviers were condescending, superior, and never cared about others’ feelings. I didn't believe it at that time.” "Now it seems that it is true. Mom, do you see the blood there? It was left by Meredith, and it was also left by you..."

"Knock it off!"

Violet suddenly couldn't control herself and reached out to slap Derek hard. "Are you going to go against the Xaviers and your mother for a dead woman?"
