The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 113

Derek dodged Chloe's arm without a trace. "No. Just picking you up. How can it be troublesome?"

When Xavier Jiyan dodged Chloe's hand, she was a little disappointed. But then she quickly packed up her upset. "That's good. I was worried that you would be unhappy because I suddenly came back early."

Derek helplessly shook his head. No matter what, Chloe was his friend, and he wasn't that stingy.

When the two of them got into the car, Derek said, "Where are you going to stay?"

Shortly after Chloe left the country, the Bennetts also moved out of the family business.

"I'm waiting for you to arrange it." Chloe smiled. She wouldn't have come back at all if it wasn't for Derek.

"Okay." Derek didn't say anything. Xavier Group owned a lot of high-end hotel, so Chloe could naturally stay in.

"I'll take you to the hotel."

Derek quickly asked Damian to book a suite in a luxurious five-star hotel.

Chloe was not very happy, but her face could not tell. "I thought you would take me to your home to visit grandpa and aunt."

When the two of them were dating back then, she often visited the Xaviers and had a good relationship with the elders.

"It's too late now, another time."

Derek didn't have that idea at all. Now that they weren't in a relationship anymore, it was too ambiguous to bring Chloe home this late.

Seeing that Derek didn't have such intention, Chloe was a little discouraged. She was tired from the journey, so she quickly fell asleep in her seat.

...

At nine o' clock in the evening

Meredith looked at the clock and wanted to listen to the prenatal music to relax before going to bed, but Derek and what the proprietress said to her today kept stucking in her mind.

She didn't know what that man was doing now.

Meredith tried to distract herself again. After lying down for a while, she couldn't help but take out her phone and call Derek.

She just... just thought of it as her concern for the man's work.

Meredith found a good reason for doing so and then pressed the number.

Derek was driving when he heard the phone ring. Chloe, who was almost asleep, muttered a bit as if she was annoyed by the noise.

Derek glanced at the name and saw that it was Meredith, so he answered.

"What's wrong?"

"Um... I got home and suddenly remembered that you said you had an emergency, so is everything okay now?"

Meredith was a little embarrassed by asking the question. As she spoke, her face was blushing again.

Derek unconsciously smiled. "Everything is fine. There's no need to worry."

Meredith reddened more as she answered. "I was just afraid... That you might run into some trouble. Since everything is fine now, forget it."

All of a sudden, she felt that the purpose of her phone call was pretty obvious...

Derek was about to say something, but Chloe had already opened her eyes. She looked at the man who had gentle eyes and was smiling faintly. She raised her guard unnoticed.

Derek was not an emotional type, but his mood could be seen through a few small details. When he answered the phone, his whole body unwittingly relaxed. So, who was the person on the other side of the phone?

Chloe suddenly had a sense of crisis. Seeing that Derek hadn't hung up, she pretended to have just woken up from her sleep. "What's wrong?"

The woman's voice immediately reached Meredith from the receiver.

Meredith was stunned, and Derek frowned. "Something came up here. You should go to bed."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Meredith felt a tightness in her chest. She could hear the soft and coquettish voice just now. It was definitely not the voice of a female subordinate from work.

Who was Derek with now?

Meredith suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed in the chest, and she felt a burning pain.

Putting down her phone, Meredith closed her eyes. But she could not forget the voice she had just heard.

That woman's voice sounded like she had been known Derek for a long time. Who could it be?

As she struggled, her phone rang a few more times. It was Ava who called.

Ava's life hasn't been very smooth lately. After failing to frame Meredith and divorcing Leo, her acting career plummeted. She traded her body for a movie with the director last time, and she got stood up.

She had been waiting for the unlucky day of Meredith, and now, it finally came.

Meredith didn't want to pick it up, but Ava was very stubborn. As if she would never give up calling if Meredith didn't pick up.

Meredith pressed the answer button. "What do you want?"

She could tell that Ava was surely ill-intentioned.

"Well, have you seen the news today? Chloe is back. Derek personally went to the airport to pick her up."

Ava said smugly, "A man knows which one to choose. A woman who has been in prison or a rich and beautiful woman who has studied abroad."

Although Ava was a little jealous of Chloe, she was still in a good mood when she thought about how much pain and jealousy Meredith would feel when Chloe came back to Derek.

"..." Meredith's heart trembled, but she didn't want to show Ava anything so that Ava would laugh at her. "Really? So what? Does she have anything to do with you? You'd better mind your own business and see if anyone will come to you for a film!"

Ava was so angry that she stopped breathing for one second. "How long do you think you can be proud of relying on Derek? Very soon, you will be screwed. I'll see who is going to be more miserable."

"I'll wait and see." Meredith bothered to argue with her. She hung up the phone neatly, but her hand turned on the phone disobediently and searched for Derek's name.

Soon, some news about Derek came out, and the latest and most conspicuous was about Derek with Chloe.

"Adorable couple - the Xavier Group ruler and the piano genius meet at the airport at night?"

"Chloe suddenly returned home. Her relationship would probably be exposed. He's actually the boyfriend."

Meredith looked at the headlines and couldn't tell what it felt like. She randomly clicked on one and saw Derek's car parked at the airport, and he was holding hands with Chloe.

The man was dressed in an elegant suit, outlining his superior figure. The woman was slender, her beautiful face was not even inferior to those movie stars, and she was wearing Derek's coat. It looked so harmonious and beautiful, just like a prince and princess in a fairy tale.

There was no room for anyone to intervene between them.

Meredith looked at it and suddenly felt like sneering.

For a moment, she had thought that Derek might have liked her. She had not expected that this time she flattered herself.
