Chapter 595 Meryl's Revenge

Meryl couldn't hold it in any longer. She finally snapped and shouted, "How stupid can you get?"

Dalton stared at her in shock, as if she had turned into someone he didn't recognize.

"Meryl, what did you just say..."

Meryl lifted her head and locked eyes with him.

"I hate resorting to insults, but this time, I can't help myself. Dalton, you're a member of Kingsdom's elite. Can you stop dragging yourself down like this? Must you cling to a woman who clearly doesn't want you?" "You think I'm...degrading myself?"

Meryl nodded firmly. "Yes, that's exactly what you're doing."

Before her words could fully sink in, a car pulled up in front of

her.

Meryl checked the license plate on her phone to confirm. Then, without another word, she opened the door and got in.

The car sped off, leaving a plume of exhaust in Dalton's face.

He stood there motionless, watching the vehicle disappear into the distance. His fists clenched at his sides.

"Does she loathe me that much now?"

The realization left him pale and hollow. His chest ached as if a part of him had been ripped out, leaving only an empty void.

He thought, "Is this her revenge?"

"The woman who used to have eyes only for me now seeks to make me feel her pain..."

Just then, Lydia appeared, running toward him.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist from behind.

"Dalton, you still have me. Meryl doesn't appreciate you, but I do. We're married now. Let's focus on building a happy life together, okay?" Lydia's soft hands encircled him, and her voice dripped with sincerity.

Dalton's expression darkened. Disgust flashed across his face as he shoved her away without hesitation.

"Lydia, you should know your place. Do you even realize why haven't divorced you, despite how much I despise you?"

He grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.

A red mark bloomed where his fingers had pressed into her skin.

"It's because I want you to experience what it feels like to love someone who will never love you back. I want to watch you suffer,

just like I am now."

With that, Dalton spun on his heel and walked away without looking back.

Lydia's tears flowed freely.

She had thought that after her miscarriage, Dalton's decision not to bring up divorce meant he still had some feelings for her or at least some pity.

But now she understood. He simply wanted to see her in pain.

She felt his heart was utterly cruel.

The orchestra's members arrived early in the morning on a shuttle bus to the concert hall.

Christine stepped off the bus in high spirits. Remembering how Meryl had been locked inside the hall all night, she no longer felt nervous. Instead, she hummed a cheerful tune. "Christine, you look stunning today." Norma gushed behind her. "That dress is new, isn't it? It fits you perfectly."

Christine smiled smugly. As a cellist, she always changed into formal wear before going on stage.

Today, she had chosen one of her most prized dresses.

The day marked the orchestra's internal selection performance. Besides the orchestra's members, many high-society guests had

invited to vote as well.

Although Christine's father, Egan Brown, was the deputy

director of the orchestra, the Brown family wasn't wealthy. They couldn't compare to true elites.

Christine dreamed of dazzling everyone at the performance today.

She firmly believed that no one's cello skill could compare to hers.

She imagined herself under the spotlight, her cello producing melodies that mesmerized the audience.

The thought thrilled her.

If she could be noticed by a wealthy family's matriarch and chosen as a daughter-in-law, that would be even better.

Christine's imagination soared so high that it felt like she was floating.

Just as she stepped off the bus, Tina frowned and pointed. "Wait a minute. Why are there police cars outside the concert hall?"
