The Good Girl's Revenge

"If it's not me, then who else could it be? Could it be Meredith? She's already...”

Chloe was in a panic and blurted out all that Violet had said to her.

Derek's face grew colder and colder. "You know all about it?"

So, everyone in the world knew what had happened to Meredith, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark?

Chloe knew that well. These days, she had not been able to see Derek, it was impossible for her to be calm.

She always felt that Derek had gone to find that woman.

And to reassure her, Violet told her that Meredith was dead and gone.

Chloe was relieved that a dead woman would not pose any threat to her. She believed that as long as she gave Derek some time, he would forget that woman sooner or later.

But she didn't expect him to get worse.

Chloe felt a little creepy. She always felt that Derek had changed, and was somewhat different from before.

"Derek, where are you? I'll pick you up, okay? I'm really worried about you."

Derek smiled coldly and said nothing, "If you're here to tell me that you agree to cancel the engagement, then come here. Otherwise, I don't want to see you.”

After that, the phone was disconnected.

Chloe was tickled with anger. Now many people have doubted that they are not engaged because they seldom show up as a couple. In order to attract people's attention, some gossip tabloids even fabricated rumors that they had broken up.

If she could not persuade Derek to attend some major events with her, the rumors would snowball. She didn't marry Derek to be a joke.

The more Chloe thought about it, the more unhappy she became. She called Asher. "Asher, help me figure out where Derek is now? He's back!"

"What? He's back, but still refuse to go home?"

After Chloe got married, Asher also kept a quiet distance from her. He had feelings for her, but he could not have affairs with the fiancee of his best friend.

But Chloe's words provoked his heart restless again.

Perhaps getting them engaged wasn't a good choice, at least Chloe wasn't happy.

"Chloe, is Derek still seeing Meredith?"

"Meredith is dead!" Chloe's teeth itched at the thought of a dead woman causing such a big problem for herself.

"What?"

Asher was completely stunned when he heard the news. Meredith was dead?

Although he didn't like Meredith, Asher still sighed for the loss of such a young life.

"I don't believe I can't beat a dead woman. I don't believe it. It's impossible..."

Chloe held the phone in her hand, her eyes filled with wild jealousy.

Asher listened to her and was speechless

He always regarded Chloe as the kindest and most elegant girl in the world. In his eyes, she was like a princess, innocent and beautiful.

But what she just said made him feel like he was collapsing.

Perhaps, before he knew it, the once-innocent woman had also changed.

Asher's emotions became a little more complicated.

"Asher, please help me... Now that everyone thinks I'm happy, I can't... I can't let people see my downfall. I would be laughed at.”

"Chloe, were other people's thoughts more important than a livelful life, more important than your happiness for the rest of your life?"

"You don't want to help me?"

Chloe sensitively recognized Asher's resistance, and she immediately squeezed out a few tears, with a crying voice, "Please, I chose this road myself. Now I have no room to turn back. If you don't help me, I have no way to go."

Asher sighed in his heart. Finally, he compromised. After sending her the address, he walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Perhaps, everyone has changed, and it was time for him to change, not to be the person like a shadow of Chloe who followed behind her, wanting to get some love from her...

After Chloe got Derek's address, she drove to it. When she saw the situation, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her expression became more disdainful

This was the apartment that Meredith had rented in the past. In order to save rent, the place would not be much elegant. It was surrounded by ordinary, even some old houses. Chloe had never been in contact with this kind of thing since she was a child, so she naturally felt disgusted.

How did Derek endure such a noisy environment?

Chloe walked step by step, careful not to get her skirt dirty. Finally, she reached Derek's position and knocked on the door.

There was no sound inside. It was quiet.

Chloe had an ominous feeling, but she continued to knock a few more times.

Derek was in a daze. He had just heard a knock on the door and thought it was an illusion, but when he heard it again, he immediately came over.

In his heart, some unrealistic thoughts were stirring, perhaps.

Maybe Meredith was back.

Knowing it was a fantasy, Derek could only believe it. When he opened the door and saw Chloe, his face changed from anticipation to indifference.

"What are you doing here? Have you made up your mind, are you going to withdraw your engagement?"

Of course, Chloe didn't come to cancel the marriage. No matter what happened today, she was going to take Derek home.

She couldn't let him mess around outside anymore.

"Derek, let's go home..."

Home?

Derek suddenly wanted to laugh. He used to think that the Xaviers was his home, but now he only felt that his family was so strange that they could give up even one life secretly. He just felt horrible. That was not his home.

"Get out, don't step in here.”

This was Meredith and his home, and no outsiders could step in and taint their memories.

Chloe was pushed by Derek, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground. Her hand slammed into the ground violently, and a burst of pain caused her tears to flow out.

"Ouch!"

Chloe's face turned pale out of pain. She is a pianist. Her hands are as important as her life. How could Derek...

Chloe raised his eyes and looked at Derek, who was indifferent and didn't give her a damn, "Derek, don't you think you're going too far? No matter what happened, you can't..."

Chloe didn't finish her sentence because her eyes fell on the urn nearby. It seemed like a cinerary casket.

"What's that?" Chloe asked.
