The Good Girl's Revenge
Chapter 187

How could Meredith not notice what Derek was thinking? His eyes were burning as if they were about to set her on fire.

Just as the atmosphere became more intense, Derek's cell phone suddenly rang.

It was Violet.

"Derek, we have a very important guest at home today. When are you coming back?"

Derek's burning desire had been extinguished by this call. Why didn't he remember that anyone at home had told him about an important guest coming?

Seeing that someone was looking for him, Meredith heaved a sigh of relief and quickly hid in the bathroom. It was too dangerous...

Derek saw Meredith hiding like an ostrich and thought for a while before saying, "I still have something to do. I'll let you go this time. You'd better take your medicine on time. Otherwise, I'll come back tomorrow..."

"By then, it won't be so easy for you to escape.”

After that, Derek left.

After Meredith heard him leaving, she came out of the bathroom.

Meredith patted her chest and let out a long sigh of shock.

Not long after Derek left, the maid came in and checked Meredith. It seemed that the fever was not as bad as it had been at first.

Meredith was also worried that Derek would really do what he said, so she offered to eat.

The maid immediately went out to look for someone to prepare it. At this time, a car came. Seeing that it wasn't Derek, the bodyguards raised their vigilance, but only one person came down from the car and delivered the takeout. "This was specially sent to Miss Mason by Mr. Xavier. Please check it out.”

They were all a little confused. But after thinking about it, they understood that there were not many people knowing this place. Besides, Meredith was sick now, so it was natural that Derek would send something to coax her. As a result, they took it without further questions and delivered it to Meredith.

Meredith didn't care much when she saw it. It was just that the food smell really worked up her appetite and she couldn't help but open it.

Just as she opened the box, a note fell out.

"I saw your messages. Here's my plan..."

Meredith's eyes widened when she saw the line on the note. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It turned out that Parker was not unaware of this but had been planning, and she was a little moved. Meredith quickly memorized the contents of the note, and then lit it with a lighter and threw it into the flowerpot.

Parker's plan...

Meredith took a few bites of the food casually. Although it was all her favorite food, at this moment, she couldn't enjoy it at all. She just ate it mechanically, and her mind kept thinking.

According to this plan, she might really be able to escape. She must try!

When Derek returned to the Xaviers, he realized that Chloe was the most important guest Violet talked about.

The two women sat on the sofa, holding hands and talking. They looked very close.

"I always wanted a daughter, Chloe. If I had a daughter like you, I would be satisfied."

What Violet just said was meant for Derek.

Today, she specifically called the two of them back for them to bond.

Derek didn't say anything after hearing it, but he felt helpless for what her mother was thinking. Chloe smiled when she saw that he did not answer, but she was not discouraged. "Auntie, you can treat me as your daughter now. I have benefited a lot from talking to auntie.”

Derek listened to the two women flattering each other, not interested at all. At this time, the Old Master also came down. Seeing that his daughter-in-law and prospective granddaughter-in-law were getting along well, he nodded then looked at Derek, who was completely not engaged in the conversation with an impatient expression, and he coughed.

"Come with me."

Derek had to stand up and followed the Old Master.

The two of them entered the study, and the Old Master looked at Derek. "Have you solved your problem with Meredith?"

He usually hadn't to worry much about Derek. It was just when it came to relationships, he had to give Derek some warnings in case he went overboard

"It's done.” Derek said with a straight face. The Old Master didn't see anything wrong and nodded. "I called you here for one thing. You're not young now. It's time for you to start a family. I haven't urged you before, but I'm old now and I can't give you that much help anymore. You need to get married as soon as possible.”

"Grandpa, you are still strong. Why does it have to be in such a hurry?”

"What do you reckon how many years do I have left? Before I die, if I could still see my great- grandson, I would die in peace.”

Seeing that Derek was still unwilling to get married, the Old Master sighed. Now that he went out to see his old friends and saw them all carrying a little child, who was running around. He was just too envious.

When he was young, he did not value his family, neglected his children, and did not get much involved in Derek's childhood. Now he naturally hoped to have a great-grandson to make up for his past regrets.

"If I told you to pick other girls, you would just make all the excuses to avoid being with them. In my opinion, Chloe is much more mature now and she knows you well and is interested in you. Just pick a day, invite her parents, and then you two can get engaged.”

Derek was taken aback as if he had not expected the Old Master to say such a shocking thing. An important matter like getting engaged was as if nothing but a few words to his grandpa.

He immediately thought of Meredith. If he was engaged, what about Meredith?

"Grandpa, this... I don't think so.”

"Why not? Do you have any other girls in your mind?"

Mr. Xavier was determined to set them up. When Derek refused, his face darkened and he knocked on the floor with his walking stick. "Don't tell me that you still like the woman who is not even decent.”

As he spoke, the Old Master coughed a few times in anger. Derek did not dare to say anything more, afraid of provoking him. He quickly went over and held him up. "No, isn't it just too soon? Chloe has her own career and ideals to pursue. How can she be willing to get married so early?" Derek saw that the Old Master was so angry that he gasped. He was afraid that something might go wrong, so he quickly changed the topic

When Chloe left that year, it was for her studies and her music dreams. He really didn't think that she would be willing to give up everything she had worked so hard for so many years just for him. The Old Master frowned and walked out without Derek's help. He went to the living room and interrupted the conversation between the two women. "Chloe, I have something to ask you.”

"If you were to get engaged to Derek now and get married as soon as possible, would you like to start a family with him and carry on the family name for our the Xaviers?"

Mr. Xavier didn't hold anything back, which was also a test for Chloe. If she didn't want to make a concession for Derek, he might as well choose someone else to be his granddaughter-in-law.
