Derek's eyes, which were heavy-laden from exhaustion turned sharp again. "Process the documents over there."

Only then did Damian realize that Derek was pointing at a place full of documents that he had already processed. He suddenly felt under pressure. This... It seemed that Boss had been up all night last night. He worked himself into the ground

Damian didn't dare delay. After all, Boss was working so hard. How could the subordinates be lazy? When Damian was walking out with those documents, he suddenly noticed that there was a piece of scrap paper on the floor. The scrap paper was full of a person's name.

Meredith...

Damian instantly understood Derek's reason for working hard all night. He guessed that something happened again between Boss and Meredith.

Derek stayed in the office for a while. Even he, after working hard all night, was a little tired.

At this moment, Violet called him. "Derek, why didn't you come back last night? Didn't you say we were going to the hospital to visit Chloe today?"

Derek had long forgotten about this and frowned. "I was dealing with some work in the company. I'll go over now. See you at the hospital.”

Hearing her son's slightly hoarse voice, Violet couldn't help shaking her head and thought that he really needed a reliable woman to take care of him. He didn't even care about his body when he worked. He couldn't do that.

Derek got up and looked at himself in the mirror. Black stubble appeared on his chin and cheeks. There were dark circles under his eyes, which were different from his usual image.

For Meredith?

Derek didn't want to admit it, but he knew that even though he was processing those documents last night, the ungrateful woman was the one who thought by him the most!

Realizing that she had invaded his mind again, Derek heavily flung the towel away.

Damn it, maybe he should really go out to change his mood. At least, he couldn't always be disturbed by Meredith. That woman was not worth his worry.

Derek straightened up and soon drove to the hospital. When he reached, Violet was already waiting there impatiently.

"Look at you. Does work so important? You are here to visit Chloe today, but you look so haggard.” "Although haggard, you still look good.” Chloe came down the stairs with a smile. She was just bored looking at the scenery outside, but she didn't expect to see Derek's car coming.

Even before she could change her clothes, she came down happily.

She really missed him.

"Sweet girl."

Violet glanced at Chloe. She was wearing a hospital gown and no makeup on her face today, but she was born beautiful. This kind of gown did not damage her beauty. Instead, it gave her a little more delicate temperament. Even if a woman saw Chloe like this, she would quite fond of her. Violet nodded silently. She was not critical of Chloe's appearance.

"Chloe, Derek was not sensible before and he didn't tell me that you were ill in the hospital. Otherwise, I would have been here long ago.”

"Auntie, don't blame Derek. It is not a severe illness. If I let you and Grandpa worry about me, I'll feel guilty.” Chloe smiled sweetly. Her every sweet and filial word was satisfying Violet.

It was such a woman who was worthy of her son. As for Meredith, what kind of bitch was she? "Angels fly out of your arse".

"Not at all. We'll soon be family.”

Violet patted Chloe's hand and said meaningfully, "You shouldn't alienate the Xaviers just because of a small matter.”

Chloe was so smart, how could she not understand Violet's hint? She held Violet's hands, smiling sweeter and brighter. The two women chatted happily, as if they had already forgotten the existence of Derek.

Derek was about to say something. He didn't want his mother's words to give Chloe any fake hope. But just as he was about to speak, Violet glared at him to stop him.

At this time, Asher came in and saw Derek and Violet. Chloe was in a good mood and smiled. "Auntie, and Derek, here you are."

Violet was thinking about how she could get Derek out of the house, so she quickly said, "Come on, let's two women talk in private for a while. You two men go out and talk about men.”

Asher didn't know why, but there was no reason to refuse, so he pulled Derek out.

There were only the two of them left in the room, and Violet was not as implicit as before. She patted Chloe's hand and said earnestly, "Chloe, you and Derek, how are things going now?" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chloe hesitated for a moment. With her usual personality, she could never say such hurtful words as “Derek was indifferent to her’. But when she thought of Meredith, the great threat, she thought that her self-esteem was not so important.

Lowering her head slightly, Chloe showed an expression of grievance and helplessness. "Derek, he might still blame me for leaving him at that time. Although I explained, he still didn't want to forgive me. And... Meredith..."

"How did you know about Meredith?"

Violet did not expect that even Chloe knew about Meredith. Could it be that that bitch shamelessly told the story about the two people who had a contract marriage?

"Don't listen to that woman's nonsense. It was just her luck to have a relationship with Derek. It was just Old Master who found a fortune teller to say that her fate matched Derek's and she might save him from danger. That's why..."

"You know what our the Xaviers's demand. How can a woman like her be recognized by us? She just doesn't want to give up the good life as a young madam of the Xaviers and is still struggling shamelessly.”

Hearing Violet's, Chloe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Meredith... She's not the one he wants? Is she really just arranged by Mr. Xavier?"

"Of course, now that she’s been chased away, Chloe, I don't know what that woman said to you, but no matter what she said, you just have to remember that the only daughter-in-law that our the Xaviers recognizes is you."

Violet had made up her mind at the moment. She had wanted to choose the best gentlewomen to marry Derek, but now it seemed that in order to eliminate Meredith's influence on her son as soon as possible, she had to make him fall in love and marry quickly, lest he always missed her.

Chloe was the one Violet knew the most, so she said it directly to reassure her that the Xaviers would definitely support her marrying Derek.

"Auntie, I... I will try my best.” Chloe got the answer she wanted. She lowered her head and blushed which made her look more lovable.

She couldn't stop the joy in her heart. With the support of the Xaviers, she wanted to see how Meredith fought with her.
