Chapter 454
Besides this, Derek could not think of any other possibility for a moment.
Meredith's attitude changed after she came back from the bathroom. He wondered if Meredith had met someone or heard something.
She lowered her eyes and said slowly after a while, "I heard that your mother likes Miss Baker, who lives in your house, very much.”
Derek understood. He didn't know that Caroline was also at the auction. He had thought that she heard something.
"Meredith, I've told you that you don't need to care about what my mother says or does. I want you, and no one can change my mind."
Meredith sneered, "No one can change your mind? It's not the truth.”
Derek's face darkened. He furrowed. Meredith was now like a hedgehog. No matter what he said, it didn't work at all. He really felt tired.
Meredith also stopped talking and they remained silent for a moment.
The next day.
As she had expected, there were a lot of reports about that Derek attended the auction with a beauty and they acted intimately on the spot, and he admitted publicly that he was pursuing the beauty and so on.
As soon as Meredith entered the company, everyone was looking at her curiously.
She pursed her lips. Thinking of what she saw on her phone this morning, she totally ignored them and walked in.
In Xavier Group.
"Grandma, grandma, mom makes the headline.”
Easton was sitting at the table drinking milk. With a milk mustache around his lips, he was very cute. He caught a glimpse of the headlines in the newspaper and immediately shouted, afraid that others wouldn't hear him.
Caroline paused and also looked at the newspaper. As expected, she saw the picture of Derek and Meredith standing together.
But that wasn't the point. She looked at Easton asked in surprised, "Easton, what did you... say?" Easton pouted and snorted at her. He ignored her and jumped off the stool and ran to Violet, "Grandma, look, my mother makes the headline.”
Violet's face was very gloomy, and after hearing her grandson's words, she felt even more unhappy. "Mom? Easton, I've told you not to call her like that.”
"Hmph, but she's my mom."
The little guy was displeased. He pouted and retorted, then glared at Caroline and ran upstairs. The two women at the dinner table had lost their appetite.
Caroline was shocked. She felt that things were once again out of her control.
Yesterday, in the bathroom of the auction, she deliberately said something to that woman. And seeing that the woman looked like she was struck out of her wits, she felt very proud.
Such a useless woman was not her match at all. She had thought that she didn't need to pay attention to her.
But she never expected that Easton would admit that woman as his mom. Thinking of what that little bastard did to her, her face turned sullen.
How could Caroline bear that?
Mr. Xavier obviously didn't want her to marry into the Xaviers. Did the old man like that Meredith too?
If that was the case, only Violet was on her side. Caroline suddenly felt that Meredith was dangerous.
She had to find a solution.
A few days passed, and the weather in D City was getting colder and colder. The Xaviers was about to hold a big event this Friday.
Mr. Xavier was going to have his eightieth birthday, and Easton's birthday was near, so they had a birthday party together every year.
This year was no exception. The Xaviers invited many guests to come to celebrate their birthday, and the party was held at the Xaviers.
This time, there was no need for Derek to invite Meredith. Meredith could not refuse her son's invitation. As his mother, she could not be absent.
So Meredith would attend too.
After knowing this, Violet was very unhappy. And Easton angrily retorted with a childish voice, "I can invite whoever I want to attend my birthday party. Grandma, since you don't want to celebrate my birthday, you don't need to attend.”
Mr. Xavier echoed him since he didn't want his grandson to feel aggrieved.
She could teach her grandson a lesson, but she didn't dare to say anything to Mr. Xavier. Now, no matter how angry Violet was, she could do nothing.
With the status of the Xaviers in D City, Mr. Xavier's eightieth birthday party was crowded with guests. Almost every powerful families and enterprises attend.
Caroline stood in front of the window on the second floor and saw the scene below with bright eyes. She turned around gracefully and looked at herself in the mirror to make sure everything was perfect. Then she went downstairs with a confident smile.
Violet took Caroline with her and greeted the people she knew with a smile. Everyone asked about Caroline, and Violet introduced her.
So everyone looked up to Caroline. Of course, there were many people who were sensitive to notice more from Violet's introduction.
Mrs. Xavier was clearly introducing Miss Baker as her daughter-in-law.
After all, Mr. Xavier was an old man, and he couldn't stay in such a noisy scene for a long time. He showed up, took the gift and went back room to rest.
When Easton found that the annoying woman became the main character of his birthday party, he was unhappy, and so no one else could have a good time.
The little guy rolled his eyes and thought of something. He was dressed in a handsome and cute little suit, and he walked towards the crowd.
"Ah, our birthday boy is here.”
"Little Young Master is getting cuter and cuter.”
"Cute? Little Young Master is handsome. Hehe..."
As soon as he appeared, everyone's attention was attracted. After all, Caroline was not necessarily an important figure.
But Easton, the precious young master, was very noble. Everyone knew that the whole the Xaviers loved him very much.
And he was supposed to be the head of the Xaviers in the future. So even though he was a kid, they should please them.
"Grandma, grandpa asked you to come over."
Violet was stunned, "Did your grandfather ask me to come over? Okay, I'll go."
Without any doubt, she immediately put down her wine glass and left.
Without Violet by the side, the guesses felt more relaxed when talking to Caroline and Easton.
