The Good Girl's Revenge

Compared to his struggle, Easton was much happier. He also got a kiss on the cheek from Meredith, which made Derek jealous.

A week passed quickly, and in a flash, it was the weekend.

Meredith was still dressed professionally. She stood in front of the mirror this morning, wondering if she should wear something nice.

But for the Xaviers, it was just a meeting. Besides, the people from the Xaviers didn't seem to be worth her effort.

Maybe she would be mocked by Derek's mother, so she decided to put on her business attire.

In any case, the professional outfits that Derek had prepared for her were designed in a casual style, suitable both in work and after work.

The Xaviers mansion was thousands of meters in size, and the tree-lined green road covered the perimeter layer by layer. From time to time, the guards could be seen patrolling.

Derek looked at Meredith, who was absent-minded. He held her hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous. Grandpa has a good impression of you. For Easton's sake, he won't make things difficult for you.”

Meredith glanced at him, took her hand back, and said calmly, "Why the hell do you think I'm nervous? It's just a meeting. Why should I be nervous?”

Derek, "..."

He frowned tightly. Meredith's reaction made him realize that her grudge was more serious than he had imagined.

It seemed that Meredith's usual calm look would disappear as soon as he mentioned his family, as if she was ready to fight.

Derek didn't know what to say. His eyes were dim and he looked thoughtful.

In the middle was the main mansion. The Xaviers didn't have many family members and they all lived in the main mansion.

At the back of both sides of the main mansion, there were piles of auxiliary buildings, most of which were empty, and a few were for servants and housekeepers to live in. The huge mansion looked very deserted.

Derek and Meredith got out of the car. The servants outside the house greeted Derek one after another. They did not dare to look at the strange woman beside their young master because of the strict rules.

Although the Old Master of the Xaviers was rather elderly, he had always been the pillar of the Xaviers.

"Where's the Old Master?"

The butler said respectfully, "In the back garden, playing with Little Young Master.”

Derek took Meredith to the back garden and saw a young and old figure from afar. He could vaguely hear an old but energetic laugh.

Before the two of them got close, they were noticed by the old and young.

Mr. Xavier was dressed in a long robe and a coat. His grey hair was neatly combed. His old face did not look haggard. Although he was nearly 80 years old, he looked very energetic.

A pair of muddy eyes became sharp the moment they locked on Meredith.

Easton's big eyes lit up and he immediately threw away the things in his hands. He ran towards Meredith and shouted, "Mom, mom..."

The little fellow's reaction and address towards the woman surprised the Old Master, then his face darkened, and he scrutinized her with cold eyes.

Meredith's face remained calm and expressionless in the face of this distinguished Old Master, but her heart was filled with complicated emotions. Perhaps she was in a different mood

If it was her old self, no matter which the Xaviers member she was facing, she would feel inferior and uneasy.

Because she didn't dare to offend the Xaviers until she had confirmed the relationship with Derek. She was initially afraid that the Xaviers would send her back to prison, the abyss of darkness.

Even after she and Derek were official, although Meredith's mentality changed, she still felt flustered because she liked this man and she hoped to leave a good impression on the elders of the Xaviers. She still felt like walking on the thin ice, afraid that she was not doing well enough. Thinking of herself in the past made her feel a little dazed

It was different now. As for Derek, she didn't know if she had figured it all out. She didn't exactly know what she was thinking either. Maybe she had just learned to live with it.

Nervousness, uneasiness, and other similar feelings had all been far away from her.

Derek looked at the Old Master's expression, frowned slightly, and coughed softly, reminding the Old Master not to forget the promise, otherwise, he would immediately leave with Meredith.

He promised that he would not let her suffer the slightest grievance.

Since he was still on probation in this relationship with Meredith, how dared he make Meredith unhappy again? If she decided to never talk to him again, who would he cry to then?

The Old Master glared at the eldest grandson, looked at his most precious great-grandson, and waved at him, "Easton, come here.”

"Great-grandpa, I want to stay with mom." Easton said without hesitation.

The Old Master was so angry that he stabbed the ground with his walking stick, "Mom? Who told you to call her that? You should call her auntie.”

The little guy pursed his lips, "She is not auntie. She is my mother. Great-grandpa, you're so stupid. You haven't even figured out how to address people. I don't want to explain anymore.”

Mr. Xavier, "..." The old man was almost out of breath, and he was very embarrassed and angry now. Sin Easton refused to come, the old man had no choice but to look at Meredith reluctantly, "Your name is Nora?"

She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Derek and shook her head, "My name is not Nora.”

The Old Master paused and frowned, "Aren't you Nora? Then what's your name?"

"My name is Meredith."

The Old Master was taking a sip of the tea and suddenly spat it out.

He wiped his mouth and stared at the strange woman in front of him in astonishment, "What did you say your name was?"

Meredith repeated her name calmly.

Mr. Xavier looked at her in disbelief and thought of something that made his brows tighter. He waved Derek over and wanted to kick him.

"Don't you tell me you like this woman just because of her name?”

The Old Master's face was intense. It seemed that if Derek nodded, he would definitely hit him with his walking stick.

Derek didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandpa, how is that possible? She's Meredith, Easton's mother. Five years ago, there was an accident. She had a face injury and had plastic surgery. It took me a long time to get her back.”

Mr. Xavier did not expect things to turn out this way, much less would he expect that the woman standing in front of him was Meredith, who should have been his granddaughter-in-law long ago. He always thought that Meredith was already dead.

The Old Master thought of what his great-grandson had just said and narrowed his eyes. No wonder he would behave like that.

Originally, the Old Master was happy that his grandson had fallen in love with another woman. After all, five years had passed and he didn't want his only grandson to be immersed in the sad memories of Easton's mother's death.
