Meredith knew she said that in a fit of pique.

But she couldn't help it.

When he heard this, the expression on Derek's calm face finally changed.

"Meredith, don't talk nonsense."

He had waited for her for five years, like a walking corpse. She finally came back, but she wanted to take Easton away from him.

He wouldn't allow her!

"Don't force me anymore. Don't remind me of the past. Otherwise, I might find myself disgusting.” Meredith lowered her head and whispered.

When he heard this, his hand stopped in midair.

At this moment, a taxi stopped. She opened the door and sat in. "I'll go back alone. Don't worry. I won't run away for Penelope's sake.”

He hesitated for a moment and the car had already left.

Sitting in the taxi, she stared blankly at the strange city.

For Chloe, Derek could give up the business of Capital City and reject the tempting business marriage with the Smiths.

It was hard for her not to compare in her heart.

Especially when she thought of difficulties Violet created, she felt even more agitated.

"Sir, please show me around more. I want to see the scenery here.”

She didn't want to go back to the hotel, for the time being, so she asked the driver to drive her around Capital City.

When Derek returned to the hotel, he realized that Meredith was not back yet. He became anxious. At that time, he shouldn't let her left alone. What could he do if she disappeared again?

He immediately called her to ask where she was.

However, she didn't answer the phone. Just as some terrible things were emerging in his head, Meredith sent a text message back.

However, it was not sent to Derek, but to Damian.

"I'll stay outside for a while. Maybe come back later. Don't worry."

When Damian received the message, he felt strange.

However, he still told Derek about it.

Seeing Meredith's message, he knew that she was angry.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have contacted Damian without calling him.

Taking Damian's phone away, Derek glared at him.

Touching his nose, Damian felt innocent.

Derek sent her a message, "You don't know a lot of people here. You'd better come back soon.” Seeing this, Meredith sighed and asked the driver to send her back.

That's right. She's not here to quarrel with Derek. The priority was to invite Professor Lee back to J City as soon as possible.

As soon as she arrived at the hotel entrance, she saw Derek standing at the gate. He leaned against the door, looking very casual, but also very eye-catching.

Some daring girls even chatted up to him and asked for his phone number.

Meredith rolled her eyes. Standing here, this man could simply attract unwelcome attention. Although he was just waiting for her at the gate, there was no excuse for him in an angry woman's eyes.

Seeing that she was back, he hurriedly went over. "Why did you come back so late? The traffic system and people here are complex. It's better not to stay alone.”

She ignored him and went straight to her room.

Derek couldn't stand her indifferent attitude. He would rather she fought with him than see her with a face like this and not talk to him.

"Mer, can I interpret your expression as jealousy?"

Seeing that she was so determined to ignore him, he could only use the unexpected tricky moves. Hearing this, she was furious, "Why do you always feel so good about yourself? I just..."

Thinking the reason for a while, she could not find a reasonable one to explain the changes in her heart.

She was unwilling to admit that she was angry at Derek and Chloe's past.

Because it's not worth it, and it shouldn't be.

"Do you want to know about Chloe's current situation?”

He reached out and grabbed her.

Although she was angry now, he did not want to increase the misunderstanding.

"I didn’t care about her at all. Did you get in touch with her again? Or did you approve of what I said? If you want to be with her, don't worry. I'll leave with Easton and won't cause you any trouble.” Hearing Meredith said a bunch of words like a machine gun to choke him, Derek was helpless. "When your mother told me that you were gone, I canceled the wedding with Chloe. Then, because of some things, her face was disfigured and her hand was injured. Asher accompanied her abroad. I didn't know and I didn't ask how they were." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her eyes widened in surprise at his words.

She had never asked about Chloe, and she never expected it to be like this.

She thought that with his feelings for Chloe, even if he was unhappy, he would let her go.

"If you don't believe me, Asher can tell you."

He thought that there was nothing to hide from. There was no relationship between him and Chloe. "I don't care how she is..."

The expression of Meredith's face softened a little. But Derek insisted to call Asher.

Asher was abroad. It was night. Seeing that Derek called him, he felt surprised.

Asher and Derek became estranged from each other because of Meredith. Now, Asher accompanied Chloe to treat her abroad. They used to be good friends, but now, it seemed like they were strangers.

However, Asher did not complain about this. After all, he did a lot of wrong things in the beginning and helped Chloe bring a lot of harm to Meredith

"Asher, I'm Derek. How are you doing abroad?"

After greeting, Derek switched his phone to hands-free mode.

"It's okay. Chloe's facial surgery was done long ago. There won't be any scars, but her hand...”

With the advanced technology, the scar on Chloe's face was not difficult to deal with. The only problem was her hand.

It's easy to return to a normal life, but it's hard to engage in a sophisticated career like playing the piano.

"Are you taking care of her?”

She was in a daze when she heard what Asher said.

She could still remember Chloe's proud and bright look in front of her. She did not expect that Chloe could not play the piano now.

"She is?"

Asher could not help but frown when he heard the voice of a strange woman.

"She's Meredith."

Derek didn't hide it either.

"Meredith? She's still alive?"
