The Good Girl's Revenge

Meredith was wearing a long black dress which was decorated with diamonds. Her delicate collar bones and left shoulder were revealed, and a dazzling obsidian necklace was around her neck.

For the first time, her delicate features were heavily made-up, which made her look even more attractive and charming. Tonight, Meredith was dressed boldly than ever.

Well, people had different dressing styles at home and abroad. Since they came here, it was better to do as the Romans do.

"Honey, you're beautiful tonight.” Derek held her slender waist and whispered to her with a faint smile.

The smile on Meredith's lips did not disappear, but she pinched his arm secretly. "So many people are here, don't be ridiculous."

Derek didn't care. In fact, he felt she was just tickling him although Meredith pinched him hard. They walked on the red carpet, went up the steps, signed their names on the red board, and took a few photos together before entering the venue.

According to the figures in the invitation, they found the seats prepared for the Xavier Group. According to the status of the Xavier Group in Country H, their seats were at the front.

Damian and the others did not need to walk on the red carpet. They had already entered through a special passageway in advance and were sitting in seats that prepared for the Xavier Group.

More and more representatives came in through the entrance. Damian suddenly said, "Boss, the Horton Family arrives.”

This name was not unfamiliar to them at all, especially to Meredith. She had competed with a lady from the Horton Family when she first attended a competition.

They immediately looked over.

The strong middle-aged man in a black suit with blond hair and blue eyes walked in front should be the head of the Horton Family, Green Horton.

They also saw their old acquaintance, Robert, who had gone to the headquarters of the Xavier Group to negotiate with them. And others should be shareholders or elders of the Horton Family. But...

And they were surprised to see a young girl who they had met before.

She was Tina, the unfavored elder daughter of the Horton Family.

They remembered that last time, Tina had been following Judy obediently, not daring to speak loudly or raise her head to look into others’ eyes.

But at this moment, Tina was completely different. She dressed in a dazzling violet dress and wore exquisite makeup, and her eyes were no longer timid but confident and proud.

Damian raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Tina replaces her sister because her sister was disfigured after the fight?"

Derek withdrew his eyes, "Although the second Miss of the Horton Family is not very smart, she does have a talent for design. But I don't think her sister is talented though she may be smarter..." His meaning was quite obvious.

Indeed, what Horton Family had done was quite confusing. Fashion design had nothing to do with designers’ appearance, so their second Miss's disfiguration should not be a problem.

But they allowed the elder Miss who had never studied design to replace the second Miss.

The head of the Horton Family also saw Derek. He paused and turned to walk towards them.

"Mr. Xavier, we haven't seen each other for three or four years, right?” Green Horton smiled and reached his hand.

Derek shook his hand, "Maybe, I don't remember it very well.”

"Mr. Xavier has achieved so much at such a young age. You're really a role model for the younger generation of our Horton Family. It's not a shame that Robert lost to you at the negotiating table.” Green Horton's words were meaningful.

Derek raised an eyebrow, "Lose? Mr. Horton, you're joking. The business has always been about mutual benefit. If there is no benefit, there is no cooperation. No one has lost, it's a win-win situation.”

The head of the Horton Family smiled and didn't say anything. He turned to look at Meredith

"This is Mrs. Xavier, right? She's a perfect match for you, Mr. Xavier. I heard that Mrs. Xavier hasn't studied design at college before, but she had defeated my talented second daughter. I really appreciate her.”

Damian frowned. What did this old man mean?

He said that Meredith, a person who had never studied design at college had defeated his talented daughter. Did he mean that something was wrong with the competition?

Derek narrowed his eyes. He didn't know if Meredith understood Green Horton's words. She was smiling shyly.

"Mr. Horton, you flattered me. I'm already very happy that several masters liked my design. As for the competition's results, it's the judges’ work."

Damian almost laughed out loud. Derek raised his eyebrows in surprise and then curled his lips. Meredith meant that it was enough for her ability to be recognized by those masters. As for the evaluation of the head of the Horton Family, it was dispensable. It was not important anyway. Green Horton's expression did not change, but it seemed that he was both embarrassed and angry. He smiled again and introduced Tina.

"This is my eldest daughter, Tina. You've met each other last time. This time, the works of our Horton Family are all by her."

"Although she is smart, she hasn't studied design. Today, I brought her here to learn more.”

"There must be Mrs. Xavier's work in today's exhibition. In that case, you can learn from each other and make progress together. Hahaha..."

Derek's face turned cold. How dare the old man say that?

They could learn from each other? Wasn't he indicating that Meredith's design skills were about the same as her daughter, who had never learned how to design?

After Green Horton finished speaking, Tina immediately stepped forward, smiled at Meredith and said softly, "Mrs. Xavier, I really hope we can learn from each other.”

Her words immediately froze the atmosphere.

“Learn from each other?" What could Meredith learn from her? Tina Horton was quite brazen. Derek's sharp eyes stared straight at her and he said without being polite, "Miss Tina, since you represent the Horton Family, you'd better be more humble.”

"Since my wife has won your sister, who is very talented, then only you, who is not very talented, can learn from my wife, but she can't learn anything from you.”

Tina's face stiffened and her gentle smile almost disappeared.
