"Hahaha, well, she used to be my customer. Now she's very famous abroad. I just mentioned her casually. Don't think too much!”

Jameson laughed awkwardly and got the matter over with. Meredith frowned. She knew very well that Chloe must have known Derek, or else his reaction wouldn't be so strange.

However, since Jameson didn't want to say it, Meredith didn't have to make a detailed inquiry. She sat down tamely and let him make her look good.

Meredith walked out, lifting the hem of her dress. Derek looked at her with a flash of surprise in his eyes. After being remoulded by Jameson, her beauty was fully developed. Moreover, unlike the common tacky beauty, she had a unique feeling of lotus coming out of clear water.

"Hehe, how is it? This time you go out, you will definitely be a perfect match.” Jameson said this on purpose to make up for the mistake just now.

Meredith was a little embarrassed to hear that. How dare she have the delusion that they were a perfect match? Moreover, the Xaviers had repeatedly asked her to keep her identity secret, so she quickly clarified.

"Mr. Curry, you misunderstand. I don't have that kind of relationship with Mr. Xavier. I'm just one of his employees."

Derek was in a good mood at first. But after hearing that Meredith was so anxious to distance herself from him, his good mood disappeared. Jameson looked at the two people in surprise.

Of course, he didn't believe what Meredith said at all. How could Derek bring his employee out to do such a thing?

"Let's go." Derek regained his usual aloofness because he was in a bad mood.

Meredith did not know how she made Derek unhappy again. But he left, she could not stay there by herself. So she could only lift the hem of her skirt and follow him hard wearing a pair of high-heel shoes.

Derek didn't care if she was walking too hard. Instead, he walked very fast with his long legs. Meredith trotted into the car. She hadn't worn this kind of high-heel shoes for a long time, so her feet hurt after she walked a few steps.

But looking at Derek's long face, she did not dare to complain. She just muttered in her heart. Did he get angry because of the woman named Chloe?

Thinking about it, Meredith suddenly felt a little upset. It wasn't she who took initiative to mention Chloe. But Derek vented his anger on Meredith, which was unreasonable.

"Buckle up.” Derek sat down and opened his thin lips slightly, reminding her coldly.

"Oh, I see." Meredith obediently fastened her seat belt, and they never spoke again along the way. Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the venue.

"You go first." Derek told Meredith to get out of the car and he went out to deal with other things. Meredith walked to the venue alone, feeling puzzled. It was Derek who asked her to be his female companion, and it was he who left her here alone. How could this man be so temperamental? However, Meredith was too lazy to think so much. She had to obey Derek's orders, so she walked into the huge venue.

As soon as Meredith appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many men present. Her white dress was decorated with a lot of broken diamonds. The sun shone on it, like sprinkling a layer of starlight on it, making it look dreamy and beautiful.

Meredith blushed when she felt their visions. But she soon persuaded herself not to get stage fright because this was a good opportunity to train herself.

Ava, who was chatting with several men, also noticed this scene. Awkwardly, one of the men she was talking to had his eyes lit up after seeing Meredith and walked over with champagne. Obviously, he was interested in Meredith

It was the first time that Ava had been ignored on such an occasion. Because her reputation had been damaged recently, so these men who once treated her gallantly were also a little cold to her, which made her extremely uncomfortable. Meredith's stunning appearance deepened the sense of imbalance in Ava's heart.

With a stiff smile, Ava walked up to Meredith and raised her glass. "Ah, sister is here. I just saw you. Let's have a drink."

Nevertheless, Ava leaned forward when she walked in front of Meredith, just spilling all the red wine in her hand on Meredith's clothes.

Meredith had been observing her. When she saw that Ava was playing this silly trick again, she quickly hid aside and the red wine was spilled on the floor.

"Ava, there are so many people coming and going here. You must be careful. You must pay attention to the etiquette. Otherwise, it will be bad if you dirty other people's clothes or if you are unlucky enough to expose your private parts.”

After Meredith dodged, she smiled slightly and said sarcastic words when she saw Ava's surprised and angry look. Who couldn't pretend to be kind?

Did Ava really think that Meredith couldn't see through her silly tricks?

As soon as Meredith finished speaking, many people looked at Ava strangely. Ava was dressed very sexy today, showing her attractive cleavage in front and a large white back behind.

With her forward posture just now, the part in her chest might have been exposed.

She was really from the entertainment industry. In order to get the headlines, she didn't even have the sense of shame.

Ava felt a lot of disdain for her. She was angry, but what Meredith just said was very reasonable. So she couldn't argue with Meredith. She could only smile and walk past Meredith. "Don't be proud.” After saying that, she walked away, holding up her head high and advancing by long strides. "You'd better think about how to please these men and then get an investment.” Meredith did not compromise at all. The more she endured Ava, the more she would take advantage of her.

After hearing these words, Ava's face turned green with anger, but she couldn't refute it.

Seeing Meredith return to the center of everyone's attention, Ava felt that she had returned to the time when she was in her teens. Meredith was a princess, but Ava was just a dispensable ugly duckling.

No, she couldn't let Meredith continue to be so proud.

Thinking about it, Ava looked at the diamond necklace on her chest. It was the jewel that the endorser lent her. It was priceless.

Her eyes dimmed and she immediately thought of what she was going to do.

Meredith was tired after talking to these people for a while. In particular, Derek still hadn't come back after such a long time and she didn't know what he was doing.

Meredith stood there, feeling the terrible pain in her feet, so she went to the bathroom to find a band-aid to ease the pain.

She stood in front of the sink, her head lowered as she struggled with her 12-centimeter high-heel shoes, but she did not notice that Ava came in with something in her hand and carefully stuffed it into Meredith's handbag.

"Hmph, it's better for you to have a rest. You can't even control a pair of high-heel shoes. How can you pretend to be a girl from a respectable family?" Ava got her thing done and approached Meredith with a cold smile, provoking her boldly.

There was no need for Meredith to pretend to be a lady anymore. She would make Meredith lose all her standing and reputation later.
