The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 317

The result of competition in the Design Department was still spreading.

Avril was a high-profile and arrogant person, and many employees knew her. Now, she was beaten by

a designer from a cooperative company, and Mr. Xavier personally eliminated her from the project.

Many people gloated at her.

But on the other hand, the rumors of Nora and Derek's having affairs also stirred up.

In contrast, those employees cared more about the rumors.

In the Design Department bathroom.

The two female assistants started gossiping.

"I heard that Avril didn't come to work at this time. She took a week off."

"She is too embarrassed to come to the company after suffering such humiliation. If I were her, I would

de the same thing."

"That's right. She deserves to be punished like that."

"By the way, have you seen that designer named Nora? She is indeed pretty. No wonder she could

hook up with Mr. Xavier."

"Isn't it rumored? Mr. Xavier is famous for being sexually continent."

"Nonsense. There's no smoke without fire. When did our Xavier Group cooperate with a small

company? I heard it's all because of Nora. I think the rumors are pretty close to the truth."

Neither of them expected that the Party A of their discussion would be in the bathroom.

Listening to the two assistants, Nora's face was very glum. That was what she was worried about. The

wilder the rumors spread, the more she felt sorry for Sheldon.

Nora was about to open the door to explain to them, but her hand stopped just as she put it on the

doorknob.

"Mr. Xavier is married. I heard he treats his wife very well."

"Everyone knows about this, but his wife is dead. After all these years, it's normal to fall in love with

someone else."

"What's her wife's name? I remember it's..."

"All right, stop it. This is taboo in our company. Let's not talk anymore."

Nora didn't know what she was thinking, but she couldn't help but want to hear it, but she still couldn't

figure out who Derek's wife was.

She couldn't help but think about the photo she accidentally smashed in the president's office last time.

That woman... It must be his wife, Easton's mother.

In the office on the top floor.

Damian reported the results of the investigation during this period of time, "Mr. Xavier, we have a clue

about the kidnapper. It's from the Universe International Corporation."

Universe International Corporation and Xavier Group had been rivals for a long time. The two

companies were well-matched in strength and there was considerable overlap between their industries.

They were the biggest competitors.

If it was a typical business fight, Derek wouldn't care at all, but they dared to kidnap his son, so Derek

had to fight back and make things difficult for them.

"What's Universe International Corporation doing recently?"

"Their beauty industry has developed a new perfume, and the launch of the new product will be held in

three days."

"A batch of imported products will be delivered to the warehouse in the southern suburbs tomorrow, of

great value."

Derek's slender fingers tapped on the desk regularly, "Well, tell them to be careful and not to be

captured."

"Yes, boss."

After so many years of tacit understanding, Derek didn't need to say it out loud while Damian would

understand what Derek meant.

Damian thought of something and continued, "Mr. Xavier, there's one more thing. When I was

investigating Miss Gray, I found someone else was investigating her too."

Derek's face immediately darkened, his eyes twinkled, and he immediately asked, "From Universe

International Corporation?"

"Yes, boss. It looks like they didn't catch Little Young Master last time, but Miss Gray got their attention.

Do you need me to send someone to protect her?"

"Well, just let them protect her in the dark. Send more people."

Damian nodded without surprise.

Nora had been in the Xavier Group for three months, and the happiest person about that was Easton.

Derek worked overtime today. It was already 9 pm when he got home, but no matter how late he went

back, he would go to his son's room to check on him.

Today, as usual, he gently opened the door and found out that his son was not sleeping, but reading

books with his two short legs swinging.

Easton was startled. When he saw his father, he closed the book he was reading and hid it under the

pillow.

He squinted and walked over, "What are you reading?"

The little guy rolled his black eyes, "Nothing, it's just a comic book."

Derek would be stupid if he trusted his son. He didn't talk nonsense and reached out his hand, "Do you

want to hand it over yourself, or should I?"

He pursed his lips but knew that he couldn't keep it anymore. He took it out unhappily. Derek's face

darkened when he saw the title on the book's cover.

Ninety-nine Tricks to Conquer a Young Girl?

What the hell?

"Where did you get this?" He glared at his son.

Easton pursed his lips, "I bought it."

"Who bought it for you?"

Derek's mind quickly filtered through people with such guts at home.

"I bought it myself. I placed the order on my phone and they delivered it to my door. It's easy." The little

guy said with his arms outstretched and couldn't hide his pride in his tone.

Derek, "..."

He took a deep breath, "You are not allowed to buy or read this bullshit in the future."

The little guy was displeased and stood on the bed with his waist crossed. He was very unhappy, "How

can you say it's bullshit? I think it makes sense."

Derek laughed angrily and told himself that children should not be taught by violence, but reason with

them. Then he sat on the bed.

"This kind of book is not something you should read at your age."

"Dad, this is age discrimination. I'm already five years old. I'm going to primary school next year. I'm a

big boy," Easton stressed.

He nodded, "Okay, you're not a child. Tell me, what's the purpose of reading this book?"

"Of course it's for Nora. Nora is now working in our company. The book says that first come, first

served. It's a great opportunity for me."

"So, I must seize it and let Nora be my girlfriend in three months."

Derek, "..."

He rubbed his palm and squinted, suddenly having a sudden impulse to hit his son.

Well, it was more effective to deal with the wild child with violence. Derek felt that his son was in need

of punishment, so he stood up.

"The book is forfeited. Sleep tight." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Easton widened his eyes and looked as if it was the end of the world, "Dad, how can you do this to

me?"

"Hmph, there's more. Do you want to try it?" He sneered.

The little guy shrank his neck and immediately gave in. He lay down and covered himself with the quilt,

and then made a face at Derek.

Although his eyes were closed, his mind was still active as he thought about how to pursue Nora. If

Derek knew what he was thinking, he would beat Easton up first.
