The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 188



Chapter 188

Chloe just hesitated for a moment, then she smiled and looked at Old Master. "Grandpa Xavier, I do.

But I still have to respect Derek's wishes and ideas."

When Chloe was young, she would directly walk away when confronted with invisible forces like this.

However, Derek tolerated her unconditionally at that time, so she could find some steel and be wilful.

But now... She couldn't be wilful anymore. She would rather make some sacrifices. As long as Derek

was by her side, she could accept anything.

Derek obviously didn't expect Chloe to say that. When Old Master heard this, his face creased up with

laughter. "Well, you're a grown up. You're not that self-willed now. We will do as you say."

"Wait a minute, grandpa. This is... I don't agree."

Derek was anxious. How could this matter be so inexplicably decided? He didn't like Chloe at all. His

feelings for her were no longer like the feelings between lovers. How could he be engaged to her?

When Chloe heard Derek say that, the smile on her face froze. When Violet found out, she quickly held

her hand. "Derek, Chloe is a woman, and she has agreed to be your wife. Besides, you've been in love

for so long. What are you hesitating about now?"

Old Master also looked at Derek angrily. He had already got all fixed up for him. Did Derek have to piss

him off? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Engagement is something really important. We can't be so hasty. For Chloe, I've already..."

Because Chloe herself and some elders in the family were here, Derek was teetering on the edge of

revealing more information. He didn't make himself look too indifferent. However, everyone could get

his implied meaning.

Chloe's face blushed immediately. She let go of everything: her dignity, her dreams, and even her

reservedness. Before they are exclusive, she expressed herself as willing to stay at the man's place.

Sadly, what she got was such a humiliating result.

She felt extremely embarrassed. This time, even though Violet had tried so hard to appease and

persuade her to stay, she was unable to sit there any longer. "I'm sorry, auntie, grandpa Xavier. I'd

better leave first. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble."

"Chloe, Chloe!"

Violet was extremely embarrassed when she saw that Chloe had made up her mind to leave. She

glared at Derek, giving him a sharp look. Her son was always smart. Why did he make such a fool of

himself over and over again on this matter?

When Mr. Xavier saw that Chloe couldn't stand the humiliation and left, he was so angry that he

knocked on the floor with his walking stick. "Derek, you're really killing me. Hurry! Get her back!"

Derek refused decisively. "Grandpa, now that she's left, I'll get straight to the point. We are not lovers

anymore, and I don't feel that way about her now. For her sake and for everyone's sake, please stop

bumbling about it."

"Okay... Okay... What I did was wrong. You're always right. There is nothing I can do now. Get out of

here, get out! Come back only when you agree to marry Chloe!"

Old Master's blood-boiling rage made him point at the door and yell at Derek.

Derek frowned. In fact, he resembled the Old Master in character. Both of them were very opinionated.

Now, waging a tit-for-tat struggle would only make things worse.

"Grandpa, I'll leave and spend the night at the company. I don't think I did anything wrong with this. You

should rest at home. Please don't do anything harmful to your health. I'm leaving now."

When Derek's heart was quieter, he took his coat and went out.

However, his words not only failed in calming Mr. Xavier down but also made him even angrier. He

directly hit the walking stick on Derek's back. "I really can't do anything about this family. I'm afraid that

I'm not the decision-maker in this family now!"

Derek's footsteps paused. Old Master had been grooming him since he was a child. How could he not

recognize the disappointment and sadness in Old Master's words?

However, he couldn't allow this mistake to develop. He had to rip the band-aid.

"Housekeeper, take good care of grandpa. Call me if you need me."

Derek strode away as if he didn't feel the pain in his back.

Mr. Xavier dropped into the chair, his eyes filled with disappointment. Seeing this, Violet was flustered.

If Old Master started to consider changing his successor because of Derek's rebellious behavior, it

would kill her.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll make sure he comes back to apologize."

Old Master waved his hand and told Violet to stay away from him. He just wanted to be alone now.

Violet was also annoyed after she left. She couldn't understand what was wrong with Derek. How could

he actually be so disobedient? Just as she was thinking about it, the phone rang. She saw that it was

Chloe.

Violet held back her anger. "What's wrong, Chloe? What happened today was that Derek's fault. He

went too far. I will definitely find a chance and ask him to apologize to you."

"No, it's not like that, auntie. I just, don't want you to force Derek to do things he doesn't want to do. If

he doesn't want to get engaged to me, I won't force him."

Chloe's reasonable attitude made Violet feel a little relieved, but at the same time, she started to get

angry.

Why didn't Derek cherish such a good fiancée?

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make him change his mind. He is just too stubborn and inflexible in dealing

things."

After that, they exchanged a few words and hung up.

Chloe looked at her phone, took a sip of red wine. She felt strong dizziness, but she didn't care. "Derek,

you can only be my man... No one else can take you from me."

...

After Derek left the Xaviers's house, he didn't have the mood to go to the company to deal with

business. He wanted to go to Jameson for a drink but had trouble getting through his phone. Maybe

Jameson was screwing around somewhere.

Before Derek knew it, he drove to the suburban villa.

Seeing this, Derek couldn't help but frown. Why was he here again?

He was gonna leave Meredith here alone for a few days, but subconsciously, he came again.

Derek did not get out of the car. He looked up at Meredith's room on the second floor. The lights were

on and the curtains were unclosed. From this angle, he could see a slender figure moving.

Unknowingly, Derek looked at her for a long time. Although Meredith did not know that someone was

looking at her, her every move made the man's tense nerves relax.

While Derek was in a daze, the security guard noticed that there was another car outside. The noises

of someone coming out to check disturbed Derek's thoughts.

"Mr. Xavier."

Seeing Derek, the security guards on patrol heaved a great sigh of relief. Because they worried that

Meredith would run away, they kept a spirit of high tension every day.

"Yes."

Derek wasn't planning to go upstairs. Now that someone had found him, he changed his mind, "I'll go

up and take a look."
