"If it's not me, then who else could it be? Could it be Meredith? She's already..."
Chloe was in a panic and blurted out all that Violet had said to her.
Derek's face grew colder and colder. "You know all about it?"
So, everyone in the world knew what had happened to Meredith, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark?
"I..."
Chloe knew that well. These days, she had not been able to see Derek, it was impossible for her to be calm.
She always felt that Derek had gone to find that woman.
And to reassure her, Violet told her that Meredith was dead and gone.
Chloe was relieved that a dead woman would not pose any threat to her. She believed that as long as she gave Derek some time, he would forget that woman sooner or later.
But she didn't expect him to get worse.
Chloe felt a little creepy. She always felt that Derek had changed, and was somewhat different from before.
"Derek, where are you? I'll pick you up, okay? I'm really worried about you."
Derek smiled coldly and said nothing, "If you're here to tell me that you agree to cancel the engagement, then come here. Otherwise, I don't want to see you."
After that, the phone was disconnected.
Chloe was tickled with anger. Now many people have doubted that they are not engaged because they seldom show up as a couple. In order to attract people's attention, some gossip tabloids even fabricated rumors that they had broken up.
If she could not persuade Derek to attend some major events with her, the rumors would snowball.
She didn't marry Derek to be a joke.
The more Chloe thought about it, the more unhappy she became. She called Asher. "Asher, help me figure out where Derek is now? He's back!"
"What? He's back, but still refuse to go home?"
After Chloe got married, Asher also kept a quiet distance from her. He had feelings for her, but he could not have affairs with the fiancee of his best friend.
But Chloe's words provoked his heart restless again.
Perhaps getting them engaged wasn't a good choice, at least Chloe wasn't happy.
"Chloe, is Derek still seeing Meredith?"
"Meredith is dead!" Chloe's teeth itched at the thought of a dead woman causing such a big problem for herself.
"What?"
Asher was completely stunned when he heard the news. Meredith was dead?
Although he didn't like Meredith, Asher still sighed for the loss of such a young life.
"I don't believe I can't beat a dead woman. I don't believe it. It's impossible..."
Chloe held the phone in her hand, her eyes filled with wild jealousy.
Asher listened to her and was speechless.
He always regarded Chloe as the kindest and most elegant girl in the world. In his eyes, she was like a princess, innocent and beautiful.
But what she just said made him feel like he was collapsing.
