The Good Girl's Revenge

"What's that?" Chloe asked.

It couldn't be the thing she was thinking about, right? How could he do that? Was he crazy? Chloe thought to herself.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Derek frowned and pushed Chloe out, but Chloe dodged and went into the room. A black and white photo was standing there.

"Derek, you're insane..."

Chloe stumbled and leaned against the desk to support herself.

Living and sleeping with a cinerary casket? Nobody, at least normal people, would not do that. There must be something wrong with Derek. Otherwise, it would be herself who was deviant. Chloe shook her head in disbelief and sorrow. She smiled bitterly. She stepped back step by step, got tripped by a wine bottle and fell.

"Ah!"

Her world had collapsed.

"You want to divorce me because of a dead woman?"

Chloe's voice trembled.

"I told you that you were not qualified to be my wife. My wife was, is and will always be Meredith.” Derek's eyes were dark.

The Masons had given Meredith love, so Meredith would not die as a Manson, but a Xavier, as his wife.

She was the only wife he wanted. By then, even if he went to hell, he could find her...

"You're a lunatic...”

Chloe shook her head. What was this for?

She thought that everything was over since Meredith was dead. However, she found that in Derek's heart, she could not even be compared to a dead person.

The pain in her hand hit. It reminded Chloe if this continued, her hand would be irreversibly injured. If the injury couldn't be healed, she would no longer be able to play the piano.

"I'm leaving. You're mad!"

Chloe muttered as she struggled up.

But Derek grabbed her hand. He exerted a lot of strength. It was as if he was going to crush her wrist.

"I said. Sign the annulment agreement!"

Derek was not interested in wasting time with Chloe anymore. Meredith had to be buried as soon as possible.

"No..."

Chloe struggled. Now, they were engaged for less than a month. If they annulled the engagement, her reputation would be ruined. She would bring shame to the Bennetts.

She would be the laughingstock of everyone.

"Let me go. I'm going to the hospital. If I keep staying here, my hand...”

"Your hand..." Derek looked at Chloe's painful face, but he was unmoved. "You're just suffering a little bit now. What about her? How much has she suffered? Do you know?"

"What about her? What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with me since it was the Xaviers who decided to let her quit?"

Chloe said with a very guilty conscience. It was because that she knew what happened to Meredith. She knew all the things Mr. Xavier did in order to rest her assured. How could she not know.

But, out of selfish motives, she didn't tell anyone and didn't want that woman to be saved. Knowing that Meredith was dead, she was a little scared, but she felt the happiness more.

Finally, she was able to be Mrs. Xavier at ease since the tiger in the road was killed.

How could Derek not see the escape and sparkle in her eyes?

How could this woman be so vicious?

"Today, either you agree to annul the marriage, or... you will let your hand not be healed.”

Derek slammed the door shut and locked it.

He dragged Chloe into the middle of the living room and looked at her coldly.

He would never let this woman take up the place of Mrs. Xavier anymore.

"No... Derek, have you forgotten our relationship in the past?”

Chloe had goosebumps all over her body as she was stared at by the man's cold gaze. She realized that she suffered all of these because of her own since she took the initiative to come to Derek and give him the chance to torture her.

Afraid of angering the man by saying the wrong thing, she could only play the emotional card. After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and he wouldn't be so merciless...

"Have you forgotten the time when I played for you? You said that my music was the best in the world and you would listen to it for the rest of your life. Don't you remember all of these?"

Chloe begged. The arrogance and pride of a girl from a rich family had been completely disappeared.

Derek did not take Chloe's plea seriously. "There's only one way you can get out of here. Don't force me to say it again.”

Chloe's lips trembled and her body kept trembling. "Derek..."

"Don't call me by my name, or I'll shut you up forever.”

Derek frowned in disgust and said this to Chloe coldly.

He felt disgusted when she called his name.

He actually indulged this vicious woman for such a long time.

Chloe's face turned white and time passed by.

The wounds on her hands were getting more and more painful, and Chloe's lips had lost their color. She felt as if her hands were about to be crippled, but there was no mercy in Derek's eyes.

"I agree, I agree!"

Chloe cried and nodded. Only then did Derek throw a contract in front of her. "Sign it."

Chloe looked at the big words on it. She was unwilling to give up. She had been scheming for so long. She had spent so much time and energy, trying to please the Xaviers. How could she just give up like this?

A resentful look fell on the urn on the table, and a vicious thought arose.

Since that you still made me not at ease as you had already died.

Then I didn't need to have any extra sympathy for you!

Chloe shook her hands and picked up the pen. Derek's attention was drawn to the agreement. Suddenly, Chloe exerted a strong force and held Meredith's urn in her hands. She raised the urn high up. "Let me get out of here. Otherwise, I'll smash her urn and make her remain not at ease even if she had died!"
