The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 73

They went into the monitoring room. Derek asked someone to show them the surveillance video. They were sitting there, one screen for each person to watch the boring surveillance videos. As Ava grew impatient, she was suddenly attracted to a picture.

It was the place where she talked to Director Chow outside. Ava was stiff for fear that the damn camera might have recorded something that would be unfavorable for her.

Fortunately, the place where they were standing seemed to be a blind spot so that nothing was exposed. Just as Ava breathed a sigh of relief, she saw a familiar figure.

The time of that figure showing up was not long, but it was enough for her to recognize who it was.

Meredith ran away quickly from the place not far away, and at that time... She should be whispering something that should not be heard by others to Director Chow.

Ava was shocked. Did Meredith hear what she had said?

On second thought, Meredith seemed to have just asked her to please those men. At that time, she didn't care much. Now she realized Meredith meant something actually.

At the thought of this, Ava was not calm anymore. "Mr. Xavier, I already said that my necklace was lost in the bathroom. Why do you ask me to watch these videos now?"

Derek narrowed his eyes and looked at her callously. He seemed to know Ava's intention. "It seems that Miss Mason is very sure of it. It is unnormal for someone who lost things to be so sure."

Ava was speechless for a moment. She was so anxious as to ignore it. Just as she was about to say something, Derek, who was 1.8 meters high, slowly stood up and looked down on Ava in front of him. "If you solve it now, I will go easy on you. If not, after I find the necklace, I will ask someone to analyze the fingerprint on that necklace..."

"Miss Ava is smart. You should know what I mean."

Looking at his confident look, Ava understood that this time she was completely defeated. The necklace was put into Meredith's bag for herself. They would not find the fingerprints of the so-called thief but only hers. It was self-evident what happened.

Now, she could not ruin her image for another time.

"Then, that's it. There may be some misunderstandings." Ava smiled, "Mr. Xavier, please return my things to me in a few days."

Derek didn't say a word and just looked at her indifferently. Ava didn't want to embarrass herself. Now that Derek just didn't want to spread the news in the whole city, she had to accept him.

She didn't have the guts to fight against Derek.

Picking up her handbag, Ava took another look at Meredith, who was standing by the side, and then left in a panic.

Watching Ava's submission, Meredith was relieved. Although she was innocent, she could not defend herself for Ava's meticulous plan. If Derek hadn't arrived in time, she would have...

"Thank you," Meredith said sincerely to Derek. "I would have been vilified without you."

"It is good that you know it." Derek accepted Meredith's thanks without hesitation.

"Let's go." Meredith felt that she need not stay here any longer. She stood up but, unexpectedly stepped on a pen that fell on the ground at some time.

Meredith had difficulty in maintaining balance in her high heels. She tilted as she stepped on something else and felt acute pain from her ankle.

Derek reached out to help Meredith up. He frowned. "Are you okay? How could you be so careless?"
