The Good Girl's Revenge

This desire to control made her breathless. Meredith didn't know what happened to her that she could be so paranoid.

"I'm tired. Can I go and rest now?"

Meredith didn't want to tangle with Violet anymore, so she said faintly.

"As long as you cooperate with us obediently, I won't make it difficult for you. Just go.”

Violet replied, but something in Meredith's eyes made her very unhappy.

She actually saw disgust and pity for herself in this woman's eyes? How could a lowly person like her behave like this?

Violet felt that as long as it had something to do with Meredith, it would make her uncomfortable, so she said to the servants, "Keep an eye on her. I'm going back to prepare for the engagement. Make sure the child is safe and sound.”

Meredith had not gone far. When she heard the word "Engagement," she couldn't help but tremble. Only when Violet saw it did she feel better.

It seemed that this woman was still thinking of the idea of "raising her status by her son", but now Violet thought she had ruined it.

Fortunately, she found out in time.

Violet left, Meredith went back to the bedroom, and two nurses followed behind her, with no intention of leaving.

"What are you doing here?" Meredith felt uncomfortable being watched and wanted to drive them out.

"We're doing as instructed, Miss Mason. It's only been a month. Just bear with it."

Meredith looked at the indifferent expressions of these two person and held a deep breath in her heart. "You're helping the devil. I couldn't sleep when seeing you. Get out!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Mason. You should get used to it as soon as possible.”

Meredith's words had no effect at all. They were still standing by her bed, as still as two door-gods. Although Meredith was unhappy, there was nothing she could do. "Whatever you want, I want to rest. Don't make any noise and disturb me.”

Then she pulled the blanket over her head, trying to escape the feeling of being watched.

"Miss Mason, you're going to feel suffocated. For the sake of your baby, it's better not to do this.” Meredith was completely annoyed. "You forbade me this and that again and again. What do you want on earth!"

"Our mission is to ensure that the child is born safely and healthily. We hope you won't make things difficult for us, Miss Mason. Otherwise, we can only report it to madam and let her handle it." Meredith's face was gloomy. If Violet knew about it, she might attack her mother. Thus, Meredith could do nothing but cooperate with them.

Thinking of this, Meredith was filled with endless hatred. Perhaps this was Derek's plan from the beginning.

It was all a lie to ask a doctor to see her mother. His aim was just to control her. Now, her mother had become a bargaining chip for them to threaten her.

Meredith didn't try to make things difficult anymore. She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but she couldn't sleep.

Will Damian see that line of words? Or could someone help her to make a call and contacted other people for her?

All she could do now was to wait.

In the evening.

Derek tossed and turned around in bed, unable to rest even though his body was screaming to be exhausted.

Because as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see Meredith's miserable appearance. Her eyes were so helpless and desperate that he couldn't breathe.

What would he do if something really happened to her?

Derek gasped in pain, and his chest hurt badly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Derek, everyone's here. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Chloe's voice came. Her parents were here today. After all, it was a lifelong event like her daughter's engagement, so they naturally came to discuss it.

Derek didn't want to talk to anyone at all. He just wanted to be alone, but when he thought of what his grandfather said, he could only force himself to get up.

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief when she heard footsteps coming from the house. If Derek didn't show any respect and refused to see her parents, then she really had no dignity at all. Now, fortunately, Grandpa Xavier was on her side and gave her some support, otherwise...

Thinking about it, Chloe made up her mind. She had to seize the opportunity given by Mr. Xavier's so that even if Derek had a grudge against her, he could not drive her away.

Derek opened the door, and Chloe looked up at him, which shocked her. Derek was no longer as energetic as he used to be. His hair was messy, which looked like weed. Under his eyes were dark circles, and stubble appeared. It was completely different from his usual exquisiteness.

What the hell was going on...

If he went on like this, her parents would be confused.

"Derek, do you want to clean up?"

Chloe said cautiously, but now Derek had a dangerous aura all over his body. She had mustered up a lot of courage to say this.

"You don't think it's appropriate for me to be like this? Since it's not suitable, then don't see me. I'm not interested, either."

Derek glanced at Chloe. Sometimes, he really didn't understand this woman. When he loved her and only wanted to marry her, she disdained him and wanted to go out to pursue the so-called ideal. Now that he had no feelings for her at all, she stuck to him all day and refused to leave.

Combined with the current situation in the Bennetts, this even made Derek suspect her motives. Although the Bennetts was a famous family, due to poor management, the family had long been emptied into an empty shelf.

Although Chloe appeared to be a goddess with boundless scenery, after all, without the support of the family, she was no longer as confident as before.

"Chloe, why do you want to marry me? Is it because you like me, or because I am the best you can choose and will bring you the most benefits?"

Derek's words stunned Chloe for a moment. She could not deny that she had some inferior intentions from Derek, but after being said so bluntly, she couldn't calm down anymore.

"What do you mean?”

"You know what I mean.”

Derek withdrew his eyesight and grabbed her hair casually. "Do you remember what I told you?" "It's just a deal that I'm engaged to you. If you want anything else from me, don't even think about it. It's impossible.”

After that, Derek went downstairs and did not look at Chloe again.

Chloe clenched her fists in anger. Derek's attitude towards her was getting worse and worse. Why was it like this when that woman had already left?

In a moment of anger, suddenly there was a piercing sound of music coming from Derek's room. Chloe glanced at it. Derek forgot to take his phone away. Driven by curiosity, she glanced at the words on it.
