Chapter 150 What a Jerk
Chandler had been at the police academy for over a decade, never skipping his strength training routines.
His punch left Dante dizzy and disoriented.
Shaking off his hand, Chandler casually placed one hand on his hip and turned his back to Dante.
Speaking to Meryl, he said, โIโm not stopping you. In fact, Iโll join you in beating him up. Come here. Iโll hold him down, and you can hit him as much as you want.โ
Dante was puzzled. He thought, โWhatโs going on? Chandler is hitting me to please Meryl?โ
Meryl was also stunned. โReally?โ
โAs long as it calms you down, even breaking his legs is fine,โ Chandler said with a fierce glare at Dante.
He thought, โThis bastard! His fight with Anne had nearly driven Meryl to divorce me. What a jerk! I couldnโt let my hard-earned marriage and treasured wife leave me because of this jerk!โ
Seeing Chandler was serious, Dante quickly sent Lola away.
Lola initially cried and was reluctant, but seeing Meryl actually grabbing something to come down, she followed Danteโs advice and ran.
By the time Meryl reached downstairs, Lola was limping towards the hospital entrance.
But a limping person couldnโt walk as fast as a healthy one.
Meryl caught up in a few strides and dragged Lola back.
Anne came down with Meryl.
Since she had no intention of keeping the child, she decided to vent her anger first.
โWhy are you running?โ Meryl snapped, letting go, and Lola instantly fell to the ground. โHavenโt I warned you? Being the other woman is a dead-end.โ
Lola looked pitifully at Dante. โIโm not the other woman. Dante knows.โ
Dante wiped his nose with the back of his hand, his hand instantly covered in blood.
Chandlerโs punch had been too hard. The bleeding wouldnโt stop.
He nodded. โRight, she isnโt the other woman.โ
โBullshit!โ Anne took out her phone and found a photo. โIf sheโs not the other woman, whatโs this then?โ
In the photo, Dante was asleep with his eyes closed, and Lola was lying on his chest.
The angle of the shot was clever, showing only their faces and a setting that looked like a bed, with the rest of the background pitch black, revealing nothing else.
Dante was shocked. โWhat is this? We have never done that! This photo must be fake!โ
โYour little lover sent it to me herself, could it be fake?โ Anne scoffed.
She tossed the phone in front of Dante, who immediately picked it up to check.
The photo had been sent two months ago, exactly when he and Anne were having their worst fight.
It indeed was sent from Lolaโs number. He looked at her suspiciously.
Lola went pale and quickly explained, โItโs a misunderstandingโฆ My phone got hacked a while ago.โ
โSo youโre telling us,โ Meryl said with a sneer, โyour phone got hacked, and it somehow photoshopped intimate pictures of you and Dante and just happened to send them to Anne, right?โ
Lolaโs face turned even paler. โIโฆโ
Meryl mocked her, โWhat brand is this phone? Itโs almost as intelligent as the human brain. I might buy one too.โ
It was clear whose fault it was from this conversation.
Dante knew Lola had set him up, and his expression turned grim.
But considering their past, he couldnโt bring himself to blame her harshly.
Dante glanced at Anne, but she didnโt even look at him.
As Anne moved, Lola immediately covered her head and ran away. โAnne, donโt hit me. Please donโt hit me!โ
She looked terrified but unexpectedly crashed into Anne.
Behind Anne was a stone bollard.
Lolaโs sudden impact made Anne stagger back several steps, and she tripped over the stone bollard!
