Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison
Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Meet Up

The next day, Meryl received a phone call and then headed out. A Lamborghini pulled up in front of her.

John tapped the passenger seat. "Hop in, I'll drive you."

The car was obviously expensive, and Meryl took a moment to admire it. "Nice new car."

John said, "Chandler gifted it to me. Didn't you know?"

Meryl was at a loss for words.

John said, "The hospital's in chaos, did you hear? Dalton doesn't want the baby and forces Lydia to get rid of it. She was wheeled into the operating room this morning. Mom and Dad rushed over as soon as they heard." Meryl had thought Dalton's reluctance to have the baby was just talking, but she hadn't expected him to do so. It seemed he truly intended to divorce Lydia.

"Dalton's mother hid Lydia away," John continued, shaking his head. "Even if the baby is born, it won't be welcomed by its father, just a pawn in Lydia's power struggle. What's the point?"

This was exactly what Meryl had anticipated. Having married Dalton with great difficulty, Lydia wouldn't let go. The baby was her only chance to turn things around.

John added, "Mom asked me to pass on a message. She wants you to take her off the blacklist and seems eager to make amends."

Meryl asked, "The money Malcolm transferred to me yesterday, that was you using his name, wasn't it?"

John was taken aback. He thought he had done it perfectly. "How did you figure it out?"

"That wasn't Malcolm's tone at all," Meryl replied with a mocking smile.

John quickly said, "But it was indeed his money. Dad's private stash must be nearly emptied by now."

Meryl shook her head. It was never about the money for her. She wanted a sincere apology from the Stone family, but clearly, they hadn't truly grasped their mistake.

Soon, the car pulled up outside a villa.

John said, "Meryl, the address you gave me, I sent someone over early this morning to inform Rocky that there's a business deal to discuss. He's been summoned here, and he should be arriving any minute now." Meryl got out of the car. "Alright."

The villa was a place John used as a rehearsal studio back when he played in a band. The Stone family owned numerous

properties, and this one had been vacant since John went abroad. John had it cleaned up recently, so it was still in good condition.

They had barely entered when they heard a car engine being turned off outside. Meryl and John exchanged glances. She gestured for John to hide.

As John concealed himself, a man in his early thirties, wearing a floral shirt, appeared at the entrance.

Rocky paused at the sight of Meryl. He was surprised.

Meryl motioned for him to come in. "Rocky, why so surprised? Didn't expect it to be me?"

Rocky was Meryl's foster brother, who was ten years older than her. He had fallen into gambling in his teens, accruing a mountain of debt, and later joined a gang, living a life of delinquency. Rocky stepped inside. He looked composed. "Meryl, what do you need from me?"

Meryl sat on the sofa. "You must know I married Chandler, right? I heard you've been spreading rumors that you slept with me. Chandler wants to have a word with you about that."

Rocky was about to drink the water he had poured for himself when his hand shook at her words, spilling water all over himself.

4/4 Rocky knew who Chandler was. He quickly denied it. "When did I ever sleep with you? Meryl, you can't just make things up!"

"If you didn't sleep with me, then why are you spreading such rumors?" Meryl placed her phone face down on the table, her expression turning cold. "Rocky, who put you up to slandering me?"

Rocky's eyes darted around before landing on Meryl's phone. "Meryl, you wouldn't be recording this, would you?"

As he said this, he snatched her phone and sneered, looking as if he had expected this all along.
