The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 205

Violet was also willing to go all out, leaving behind the so-called noble lady's reserve. She knew that

she was acting like a shrew by making a scene, but she had no other way.

As long as Derek was able to break up with that woman, she would not care much about losing face.

Derek heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Violet's hand, which was still inserted with an

intravenous needle. Now with this action, the blood had moved into the IV line.

Violet knew Derek's character, and he wouldn't ignore his mother's health, so she grabbed Derek's

hand and said, "Derek, can you listen to me this time? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die with my eyes open."

"Don't say that." When Derek heard the word" die," his face darkened and his tone was serious.

He didn't want to compromise just like that, but Violet didn't want to give him any other choices. "You

promise me then I'll have the surgery, otherwise, no deal."

"Mother, must you do this..."

Derek was extremely helpless. Just as the mother and son were in a stalemate, Chloe knocked on the

door and walked in. Seeing the slightly strange atmosphere between them, she smiled awkwardly. "Is it

a bad time?"

These days, Chloe seemed to be a different person, running to the hospital every day. And even, in

order to please Violet, she found a chef to teach her how to make these nourishing soups, and

personally cook for her.

"No, you came just at the right time."

Violet greeted Chloe with a smile and held her hand. Then she pointed at a blister on her finger in an

exaggerated tone. "Oh, is this due to making soup for me? You really have gone through a lot of trouble

for me. Your heart is much better than someone else's."

Derek naturally understood that it was meant for him. He looked at Chloe's injured hand and sighed.

"Chloe, you don't have to do these things yourself. Your hands are better for playing the piano."

"It's rare that Derek still cares about others. In that case, Chloe, we were just talking about you two

getting engaged as soon as possible. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chloe was stunned and ecstatic, but she couldn't show it. She lowered her head and said, "I... I don't

have a problem with it. It's just whether Derek would think..."

Violet held Chloe's hand and looked at Derek with a warning in her eyes. As if to say, if you didn't

agree, I would just give up the treatment and die in front of you.

Derek gritted his teeth and moved his lips. And in the end, he did not say otherwise.

Now that Violet's condition was unstable, he couldn't risk her life.

Seeing Derek give in, Violet smiled. "Chloe, of course, he agreed. In this case, we'll hold a meeting for

the parents these days, set the date, and start the ceremony as soon as possible."

"There's no need for ceremonies, right?" When Derek heard this, he was quite overwhelmed.

He was only trying not to make Violet angry by acquiescing in her plan, but it would be difficult to deny

it if the ceremony was held.

"I don't care about that either, auntie."

Chloe said understandably, but a little grievance flickered in her eyes, making Violet glare at Derek very

unhappily.

"No, how can we neglect you when you are about to become a member of the Xaviers? We must do a

grand ceremony to let everyone know that you and Chloe, are the perfect couple."

Violet was in a much better mood just thinking about the benefits that Chloe's good image would bring

to Derek. Moreover, a grand ceremony was the best way to wash away the bad luck of her recent

illness.

Mr. Xavier heard the heated discussion inside and walked in. When he heard this, he nodded

approvingly. "You're right. When did our the Xaviers lose to anyone in style? We can't wrong Chloe."

"Besides, the Xaviers has been a little restless lately, and it's good that all the bad luck would be sent

away with this happy event."

Mr. Xavier said this and laughed loudly. Then, he called the housekeeper and asked him to set the time

and place for the engagement as soon as possible.

"Grandpa..."

Derek felt a little depressed when he saw that the two elders had decided things for him without

consulting his own opinions. He had not even made a statement and was pushed to come to the final

decision. It was really quite depressing for him.

What was more, they talked about that the Xaviers's daughter-in-law can't be wronged when Meredith

and he had received a marriage certificate before, and they surely didn't seem to care about any

ceremony back then.

"It's settled."

Mr. Xavier didn't care if Derek had something to say or not, and he walked out with a smile and went to

set up the necessary things for the engagement.

"All right, your marriage is settled. I'm relieved. You guys go out then. I want to get some sleep."

Violet saw that things were almost done, and she was tired. Besides, she could let the two of them

have some chance to get along alone, so she chased them out.

Derek walked out of the room with a cold face, followed by Chloe. He walked very fast with big strides,

regardless of whether Chloe in high heels could keep up or not. He walked just like that without even

looking back.

Chloe struggled to catch up, and after a while of trying, she snapped. "Derek, what do you mean?" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

They finally got engaged, but his attitude made her feel very cold.

Was he so unwilling to marry her?

Derek stopped just right at a quiet spot with no one passing by. He looked into Chloe's eyes. "Chloe,

I've said it many times. We're done. Why are you still here..."

"Derek, am I that cheap in your heart? Indeed, I can't let you go, but I have dignity. I came here

because my aunt has always been taking care of me since I was a child. She has been good to me. I

am only doing this for my conscience."

Chloe said with a straight face, and Derek was speechless for a moment.

"But the engagement... I don't really agree. I'm doing it for my mother's health. I have to make it clear to

you on that."

Chloe's face darkened when she heard this. How could she not have known that Derek's agreeing to

get engaged was just an expedient plan for Violet? But if they had missed this opportunity, they would

have really missed it. So, even if it was forced, she had to try.

So, Chloe forcefully erased the grudge in her heart. "I know, Derek. So, I promise you, this engagement

doesn't mean anything. If you want to separate, I won't force you otherwise as a fiancée. I promise we

are only doing this for the sake of my aunt's recovery."

Derek looked deeply at Chloe, and then a relieved smile appeared. "If that's the case, then I'm much

relieved. Chloe, you help me finish this scene, and I will try my best to make it up to you in the future."
