The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 239

"Wait a minute."

Derek said. This was the first time he had said something after Meredith came here.

Meredith paused, feeling indignant. "The contract has already been signed. What? Afraid that I will be a blabbermouth and tarnish your reputation? Don't worry. I don't want to get involved with you either."

From being together to breaking up, he had never dropped his guard. Meredith felt that her pride was hurt. She could only feel better by taking him as rabid dog and deciding never to see him again.

"There's something else here. Don't you want to take a look?"

Derek looked at Meredith's determined face. He had never realized that this woman had such a decisive side.

Was all her decisiveness for herself?

Meredith frowned. She didn't read the contract very carefully, so she didn't know its content.

Could there be any unreasonable clauses?

Meredith turned back and took the contract. Derek then threw a new bag over. "This is for you."

Meredith opened it and saw that it was an equity agreement on the shares of the Masons. She could retrieve the Masons' shares and villa after she signed it.

"What are you up to?"

Meredith looked at Derek vigilantly, and the man shrugged. "These assets belong to you. The members of The Masons are now either in jail or in hospital. You are the only one who can take charge of these things in the Masons, so I'll give them back to you."

Meredith seized the document in her hand. "I don't believe you can be so kind..."

"I just won't take anything that doesn't belong to me. If you don't want it, you can throw it away. Anyway, the contract you just signed includes that I will return your things to you."

With that, the man stood up. He didn't want to see the vigilance and indifference in Meredith's eyes, which would make him lose control of his emotions.

After Derek left, Meredith flopped down on the sofa, confused. Although she had always been hellbent on getting back the Masons' assets, she knew little about these things. So she was bemused when she suddenly got them back.

"Miss Mason, actually boss..."

Damian had something to say but hesitated. She knew that Derek devised this confidentiality agreement not because he was afraid that Meredith would divulge their relationship, but because he was sure that Meredith would sign the contract in a fit of anger.

Only in this way could he give the Masons' assets to her.

However, it seemed that Meredith did not understand Derek's thoughtfulness.

Damian was about to say something, but Derek interrupted her coldly, "Don't say stupid things. Let's go."

Damian had no choice but to leave with Derek. Meredith stayed motionless for a while, staring blankly at the contract, then carefully put them away.

Derek was right. These assets were the result of the joint efforts of her mother and Wesley. Since Wesley was no longer able to manage it, she had every reason to get it back.

When she walked out, Derek's car was no longer there.

It seemed true that men were more ruthless than women. He just left without any hesitation.

Meredith was lost in thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and grasped the bag in her hand. Fortunately, she still had this, her mother, and her baby. Life didn't need to revolve around a man.
