Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison
Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Dreaming

After dealing with Rocky and Russell, Dalton grabbed a napkin from the table and wiped the blood off his hands. Turning to Meryl, his eyes full of worry, he asked, "Meryl, are you okay?" Meryl shook her head lightly, avoiding Dalton's outstretched hand.

Dalton's eyes darkened. This time, he had arrived before Chandler and saved Meryl. But it was clear that Meryl was wary of him, deliberately keeping her distance. He felt hurt.

At this moment, John was full of energy again. He bound Russell and Rocky together using the ropes that had tied him and gave them several hard kicks.

"You scumbags! How dare you touch Meryl? I'll beat you to death! Do you even know who she is? You think you can touch her? You're not worthy!" John cursed them, brandishing the knife in their faces. Not long after, the police arrived and took the two men away.

It turned out Dalton had called the police while he was outside.

Not wanting to stay any longer, Meryl turned to leave.

Dalton suddenly called out to her, "Meryl, weren't you looking for evidence?"

Meryl turned back at his words.

Dalton said, "I heard everything Rocky said just now. You were framed. I was outside from the moment you started speaking."

Meryl understood now. Dalton had followed her here. She found it ironic that such an illustrious heir resorted to following her.

Meryl stared into Dalton's eyes and asked, "So? You want to be my witness? Lydia is your wife. Do you really want to do that?"

Revealing this would mean reopening the case from three years ago. But Lydia was Dalton's wife, and he would inevitably be implicated. His reputation, prestige, and the court of public opinion would all turn against him. There would be no benefit to Dalton at all. Dalton's gaze softened. "Meryl, I want you back by my side! All I ask is for you to look at me!"

Dalton's words were shocking and unexpected.

John could hardly believe his ears. He vividly remembered Meryl chasing after Dalton in the past, thinking Meryl was perfect except for her lovesick obsession.

When John got back to the country, he heard that Meryl had gotten married and that the groom wasn't Dalton, and John found it unbelievable. The level of shock was akin to a comet striking Earth. Chapter 319 Dreaming

Given Meryl's obsession with Dalton, John couldn't believe she would really marry someone else. It wasn't until he saw Meryl with Chandler that John finally believed it.

Meryl never brought up Dalton again, and John assumed she had moved on.

Chandler was great. At their first meeting, he gifted John a

limited edition Lamborghini. It was hard to see the bad side of Chandler when he gave you a gift, especially one with fewer than three in the world.

For the past few days, John had been driving his new car everywhere, basking in the admiration of his friends. Everyone treated him like royalty, knowing his sister's husband was Chandler. John felt that Chandler's extravagant gift showed how much he valued and loved Meryl.

He was happy for Meryl, but hearing Dalton ask Meryl to come back to him now left him in disbelief. The world had indeed turned upside down. How could things have flipped between Meryl and Dalton during his five years studying abroad? Dalton was the scion of the Kingsdom's elite. John could still vividly recall Dalton's proud demeanor and disdain for Meryl.

But now, Dalton was pleading for her to return? John felt a

sense of vindication.

However, vindication aside, he was worried Meryl might do something foolish, like rekindle her old feelings for Dalton and impulsively agree.

So, before Meryl could respond, John stepped forward, positioning himself between them. "Dalton, you're dreaming! What right do you have to ask Meryl to get back with you?" Write your comment
