Chapter 113


    Derek dodged Chloe''s arm without a trace. "No. Just picking you up. How can it be troublesome?"


    When Xavier Jiyan dodged Chloe''s hand, she was a little disappointed. But then she quickly packed up


    her upset. "That''s good. I was worried that you would be unhappy because I suddenly came back


    early."


    Derek helplessly shook his head. No matter what, Chloe was his friend, and he wasn''t that stingy.


    When the two of them got into the car, Derek said, "Where are you going to stay?"


    Shortly after Chloe left the country, the Bets also moved out of the family business.


    "I''m waiting for you to arrange it." Chloe smiled. She wouldn''t havee back at all if it wasn''t for


    Derek.


    "Okay." Derek didn''t say anything. Xavier Group owned a lot of high-end hotel, so Chloe could naturally


    stay in.


    "I''ll take you to the hotel."


    Derek quickly asked Damian to book a suite in a luxurious five-star hotel.


    Chloe was not very happy, but her face could not tell. "I thought you would take me to your home to


    visit grandpa and aunt."


    When the two of them were dating back then, she often visited the Xaviers and had a good rtionship


    with the elders.


    "It''s toote now, another time."


    Derek didn''t have that idea at all. Now that they weren''t in a rtionship anymore, it was too


    ambiguous to bring Chloe home thiste.


    Seeing that Derek didn''t have such intention, Chloe was a little discouraged. She was tired from the


    journey, so she quickly fell asleep in her seat.


    ...


    At nine o'' clock in the evening


    Meredith looked at the clock and wanted to listen to the prenatal music to rx before going to bed, but


    Derek and what the proprietress said to her today kept stucking in her mind.


    She didn''t know what that man was doing now.


    Meredith tried to distract herself again. After lying down for a while, she couldn''t help but take out her


    phone and call Derek.


    She just... just thought of it as her concern for the man''s work.


    Meredith found a good reason for doing so and then pressed the number.


    Derek was driving when he heard the phone ring. Chloe, who was almost asleep, muttered a bit as if


    she was annoyed by the noise.


    Derek nced at the name and saw that it was Meredith, so he answered.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Um... I got home and suddenly remembered that you said you had an emergency, so is everything


    okay now?"


    Meredith was a little embarrassed by asking the question. As she spoke, her face was blushing again.


    Derek unconsciously smiled. "Everything is fine. There''s no need to worry."


    Meredith reddened more as she answered. "I was just afraid... That you might run into some trouble.


    Since everything is fine now, forget it."


    All of a sudden, she felt that the purpose of her phone call was pretty obvious...


    Derek was about to say something, but Chloe had already opened her eyes. She looked at the man


    who had gentle eyes and was smiling faintly. She raised her guard unnoticed.


    Derek was not an emotional type, but his mood could be seen through a few small details. When he


    answered the phone, his whole body unwittingly rxed. So, who was the person on the other side of


    the phone?


    Chloe suddenly had a sense of crisis. Seeing that Derek hadn''t hung up, she pretended to have just


    woken up from her sleep. "What''s wrong?"


    The woman''s voice immediately reached Meredith from the receiver.


    Meredith was stunned, and Derek frowned. "Something came up here. You should go to bed."


    After that, he hung up the phone.


    Meredith felt a tightness in her chest. She could hear the soft and coquettish voice just now. It was


    definitely not the voice of a female subordinate from work.


    Who was Derek with now?


    Meredith suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed in the chest, and she felt a burning pain.


    Putting down her phone, Meredith closed her eyes. But she could not forget the voice she had just


    heard.


    That woman''s voice sounded like she had been known Derek for a long time. Who could it be?


    As she struggled, her phone rang a few more times. It was Ava who called.


    Ava''s life hasn''t been very smoothtely. After failing to frame Meredith and divorcing Leo, her acting


    career plummeted. She traded her body for a movie with the directorst time, and she got stood up.


    She had been waiting for the unlucky day of Meredith, and now, it finally came.


    Meredith didn''t want to pick it up, but Ava was very stubborn. As if she would never give up calling if


    Meredith didn''t pick up.


    Meredith pressed the answer button. "What do you want?"


    She could tell that Ava was surely ill-intentioned.


    "Well, have you seen the news today? Chloe is back. Derek personally went to the airport to pick her


    up."


    Ava said smugly, "A man knows which one to choose. A woman who has been in prison or a rich and


    beautiful woman who has studied abroad."


    Although Ava was a little jealous of Chloe, she was still in a good mood when she thought about how


    much pain and jealousy Meredith would feel when Chloe came back to Derek.


    "..." Meredith''s heart trembled, but she didn''t want to show Ava anything so that Ava wouldugh at her.


    "Really? So what? Does she have anything to do with you? You''d better mind your own business and


    see if anyone wille to you for a film!"


    Ava was so angry that she stopped breathing for one second. "How long do you think you can be proud


    of relying on Derek? Very soon, you will be screwed. I''ll see who is going to be more miserable."


    "I''ll wait and see." Meredith bothered to argue with her. She hung up the phone neatly, but her hand


    turned on the phone disobediently and searched for Derek''s name.

    Soon, some news about Derek came out, and thetest and most conspicuous was about Derek with


    Chloe.


    "Adorable couple - the Xavier Group ruler and the piano genius meet at the airport at night?"


    "Chloe suddenly returned home. Her rtionship would probably be exposed. He''s actually the


    boyfriend."


    Meredith looked at the headlines and couldn''t tell what it felt like. She randomly clicked on one and saw


    Derek''s car parked at the airport, and he was holding hands with Chloe.


    The man was dressed in an elegant suit, outlining his superior figure. The woman was slender, her


    beautiful face was not even inferior to those movie stars, and she was wearing Derek''s coat. It looked


    so harmonious and beautiful, just like a prince and princess in a fairy tale.


    There was no room for anyone to intervene between them.


    Meredith looked at it and suddenly felt like sneering.


    For a moment, she had thought that Derek might have liked her. She had not expected that this time


    she ttered herself.
