The Good Girl's Revenge

Meredith was still stretching out her hand in a daze. She didn't expect Caroline to fall down at all. Subconsciously, she wanted to pull her, but it was too late.

She looked down at Caroline, who was lying motionless on the ground. Her face was slightly livid, the corners of her mouth were a little pale, and her lips trembled. She was obviously frightened. Caroline's scream before she fainted attracted all the guests outside.

They all exclaimed, and some timid women screamed incessantly. The next second, all kinds of suspicious and questioning eyes shot at Meredith.

Meredith was even stiffer.

"God, isn't this Miss Baker? What's going on?"

"I'm afraid only the one upstairs knows what's going on. Look at her. I think she must have something to do with Miss Baker's falling.”

"Of course, there are only two of them here. Miss Baker fell down while she stood well. She must have something to do with it. Perhaps she did it on purpose.”

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"There's no need to be so alert. Do you know how much Mrs. Xavier likes this Miss Baker? I heard Mrs. Xavier is going to make Miss Baker her daughter-in-law. If anything happens to her, that woman upstairs will definitely suffer.”

"Quite on the contrary, I heard that Easton, the young master of the Xaviers, hated Miss Baker very much. He just humiliated her in public.”

"That's right, I heard about it too, and you haven't forgotten about the newspapers a while ago, have you? Meredith was the apple of Mr. Xavier's eye."

"Well, no matter what, it's wrong to push someone. It's such a high staircase. She's going to kill Miss Baker. How horrifying.”

"Yes, yes, you're right.”

All the unscrupulous discussions below ran into Meredith's ears. Her face was pale, and she clenched her fists tightly, her lips moving slightly.

She wanted to say that she didn't push Caroline, and that it was Caroline who accidentally fell down, but even if she said so, would these people believe her?

Just as Meredith didn't know what to do, Violet appeared.

"Caroline? Caroline, what's wrong with you?" She immediately walked to Caroline's side, her eyes wide and her face full of anxiety, and the guests beside her said a few words to her.

Her eyes shot at her like a sharp sword.

"Meredith." Her name was called out by Violet through gritted teeth

"I knew you were a scourge. It's not enough for you to harm my son. Today is the Old Master's birthday. What do you want to do?"

"And you are so vicious that you pushed Caroline down from such a tall staircase. How dare you?" Meredith bit her lips and stared at Violet, her throat tightening. She said, "I didn't push her.” "Shut up, how dare you say that? You just don't know when to stop, do you? Where's the butler? Help me call the police, call the police immediately to arrest this murderer.”

Meredith's face turned even paler. It was ridiculous. She didn't do anything. Violet didn't know anything and just labeled her as a murderer that easily.

Violet really wanted to destroy her all the time. Meredith was bitter and angry.

The butler looked troubled and hesitated for a moment.

He knew the real identity of Miss Mason. Not only did young master Derek value her, but more importantly, she was Little Young Master's biological mother.

How dared he let the police come and arrest her? If young master Derek knew about it, he would never be spared.

Violet saw that he did not move and immediately bristled with rage. But before she could do anything, Derek came.

"What's going on?"

The butler heaved a sigh of relief and immediately recounted what had happened here. Derek frowned and strode over.

He looked around. His eyes did not linger on Meredith for long. Instead, he walked to Caroline's side and saw the back of her head bleeding. His face immediately darkened.

He picked her up at once and looked at Meredith expressionlessly, "Come down and follow me." Meredith did not react. She stared at him, more accurately, at the woman in his arms. She did not expect that he would go to Caroline first.

Then she shook her head in a self-deprecating manner. The woman fell down the stairs and was unconscious. It was normal for him to worry and pay attention to Caroline.

Seeing that she didn't move, Derek couldn't help but frown, "Meredith?"

He subconsciously placed his hand on Caroline's head, which was witnessed by Meredith. She silently lowered her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She felt dizzy at the moment, and there seemed to be countless buzzing sounds in her ears and she could not hear the voices of the guests around her anymore.

She did not want to stay in the Xaviers at all. She walked stiffly down the stairs step by step.

"No, Derek, this woman pushed Caroline. She can't leave.” Violet's face was sullen.

Derek was also wearing a cold face, "Mom, did you see her push Caroline?"

"I..." Violet paused.

"Since you haven't seen it, please be careful about your words. I brought her here. I know what to do. If you're tired, go to rest.”

When he saw Meredith come down, he didn't say anything more. He strode off with her and left Joshua to deal with the rest.

"Derek, you, stop right there.” In front of so many prestigious figures, her son did not show any respect for her. Violet felt so angry and her heart ached.

"Madam, I'll take care of the rest for Mr. Xavier, so you don't have to worry about it. Butler, help madam upstairs to rest.”

Violet was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stared at Joshua for a long time, unable to speak. In the end, she really felt ashamed and went upstairs with a cold snort.

Joshua apologized and dismissed the party in advance.

Meanwhile, on the bus to the hospital.

Derek put Caroline's head on his lap and pressed her wound with the palm of his hand, his hand covered with blood. The atmosphere in the car was strangely oppressive.

Meredith watched from the corner of her eye as he gently held Caroline's head and even took off his coat to cover her wound with a straight face.

She withdrew her gaze and leaned back, looking out of the window at the scene. Her sad face was reflected on the glass.

Derek was so worried about Caroline, was it... Was it because he liked her and cared about her that he was so worried to see her get hurt?

From the moment she got in the car, Derek didn't even look at her, let alone talk to her.
