He spoke unkindly.
The smile on Evelyn's face froze. But she soon calmed herself down, "I just want to make a bet with Mr.
Xavier. I don't know if you want to."
Derek raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, she came prepared. Then he would like to see what kind of
games she was playing.
"What?"
"I bet you, whether Meredith will come back to you or not."
Hearing Meredith's name, Derek frowned slightly and looked at Evelyn, whose sharp eyes seemed to
see through his mind.
"I know that Mr. Xavier and Meredith had a relationship before and had a child, but are you sure she
still loves you now?"
Evelyn's words made Derek's heart sink.
Although he didn't show any emotion out, in his mind he was in a mess.
That was right. That was exactly what he had been wondering about.
What did Meredith think of him now?
Meredith's actions made Derek wonder if she cared for him or not. She even constantly asked him to
let go of her and leave her quiet life alone...
Seeing that Derek did not immediately refute herself, Evelyn was overjoyed, "So, don't you want to test
it? During the half month of my bet with you, as long as she comes to you, I will immediately leave.
Besides, the cooperation between the Smith family and the Xaviers will be the same, I will ask grandpa
not to stop it."
Derek narrowed his eyes and looked at Evelyn, "That sounds good, but it seems that Miss Smith didn't
get any benefits from this plan, did you?"
Derek did not believe that this woman would be so kind as to help him test Meredith's mind.
"Of course, I have plans too... I have plans for you, Mr. Xavier. If Meredith doesn't make any gestures in
half a month, then you have to get engaged to me."
Derek heard this and snorted. Was that her real purpose?
"I'm sorry. I'm not interested in such a boring bet."
Without thinking, Derek stood up and said, "If Miss Smith doesn't have anything else, I'll go out first. I
happen to have to attend an investment meeting."
With that, Derek turned to leave.
"Mr. Xavier, you don't have to rush to refuse. I'll wait for your reply."
Evelyn saw that things did not go as smoothly as she thought, but she was not angry. Instead, she said
calmly.
Her attitude, on the contrary, made Derek more vigilant.
Derek didn't think her brain could come up with such a solution, judging by his staying with this woman
during these days.
So... Who on earth was the person behind her?
Just as he was thinking, his men came over and said, "Boss, I have found some clues about what you
asked me to investigate."
Derek nodded and the two of them walked to an empty office. "Recently, Evelyn did have close
telephone contact with a number she has never contacted before, but that person is very canny. The
number he used was registered with a fake identity he bought on the black market, so the person we
found does not exist."
When Derek heard this, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Keep investigating. Be careful, and don't make the person aware of it and gets cautious."
The man nodded and left quietly. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Derek tapped his fingers on the table and looked out the window at the traffic.
No matter who that person was, if that person dared to plot against him, he or she must pay the price.
After Evelyn left the Xavier Group, she went to visit Ellie who was still at the hotel.
After all, Meredith gave her a final offer yesterday, saying that Ellie had to go for a physical examination
today to make sure she could donate healthy bone marrow.
Now Derek was still thinking about that woman, so Evelyn couldn't openly break up with that woman.
Evelyn had to maintain their mutually beneficial relationship.
When Evelyn returned to the hotel, she saw Ellie sitting in the coffee shop owned by the hotel, typing
on the keyboard and working hard.
There were a few young men beside her, who seemed to be attracted by her beautiful appearance and
capable temperament. They looked at her from time to time.
"Hehe, you really know how to act."
Evelyn sneered disdainfully and walked over. Without saying anything, Evelyn closed Ellie's laptop
screen.
Ellie frowned. She was preparing for the company's public relations plan for the next quarter when she
was suddenly interrupted. She was very unhappy.
"You don't have to work so hard. It's only two of us here now. No one can see us."
What Evelyn said was a burst of sarcasm.
Ellie smiled reluctantly, "I'm just used to the rhythm of my work. If I suddenly have nothing to do, I'll be
bored."
"Then come with me to the hospital. She's asking for a physical examination. You might be donating
bone marrow soon."
Hearing this, Ellie's expression froze. She had actually been waiting for this day. Because she had
asked carefully later the probability of two strangers being able to accurately match bone marrow,
which was about one in a hundred thousand.
She happened to grow up in an orphanage, so she wanted to know if the sick woman was related to
her by blood, or if it was just a simple coincidence.
"Okay, I'll pack up now. We'll be right there."
Thinking about the mystery of her family background, Ellie immediately sent the computer back to her
room and followed Evelyn to the hospital.
To avoid being seen through the lie, Evelyn took Ellie to another hospital.
Ellie did a blood test, went through a lot of trouble, and finally walked out and asked cautiously,
"Evelyn, that patient, is she in this hospital now?"
"Why are you asking this?"
Evelyn raised her guard.
Evelyn didn't like Ellie ever since she was a child. They were brought up in the same environment, Ellie
always performed better in class than her, attracted the attention of more male students than she did.
Even her grandfather often said that Ellie was better than her.
In addition to the fact that her uncle's family often said that Ellie was scheming to take her place,
Evelyn's vigilance against Ellie was very high.
"I just..."
"You don't want to find Meredith's mother and tell her that the bone marrow is yours. You want to ruin
my plan, right?"
"I didn't!"
Ellie was so anxious when she was being misunderstood for no reason. Then she quickly explained, "I
am just eager to know if she could be my lost mother, I..."
"You are an unwanted orphan. How can it be so coincidental that she is your mother? I warn you, this
matter concerns my happiness for the rest of my life. Don't try to use this excuse to gain sympathy and
then sabotage my plan.
I won't tell you where she is. Just wait for the day of the bone marrow transplant. "
With that said, the doctor came out and told the two of them that the medical report would be taken in
the afternoon. When Evelyn heard this, she did not have the patience to waste time here, "You will pick
the medical report in the afternoon, and I have to leave for other matters to attend to."
