Chapter 152 Apologize to Anne

Anne looked at him, disappointed.

Dante sighed helplessly. “Making such assumptions is pointless. The kid is fine. You’re fine. Holding onto this does no good for anyone. Besides, Lola has…”

“Dante, please think carefully before you speak!” Meryl interrupted him sharply.

She thought, “This guy was driving people crazy with every word.”

“Anne is your wife. Whose side should you be on? This woman photoshopped intimate photos of you two, driving a wedge between you and Anne, and you still protect her. Are you out of your mind?

“I thought someone who could be friends with Chandler must be somewhat clever. I didn’t realize you were so clueless!

“Have you ever considered how Anne feels? She’s the one getting hurt, and instead of standing up for her, you’re asking her to be magnanimous. Do you think you’re some kind of ancient emperor who wants to have it all?

“Why should she be magnanimous to accommodate your hypocrisy? Anne doesn’t owe you anything!”

Dante, known in Kingsdom, felt his face burn with humiliation as Meryl pointedly criticized him.

He looked at Chandler. “Your wife speaks this way about me, and you just let her?”

Chandler gave him a cold glance, his expression unchanging. “I think my wife is absolutely right. You can’t even handle your family affairs. You have no right to be friends with me.”

Dante was speechless.

Meryl was surprised by Chandler’s blunt support.

Given his awkward position, she hadn’t expected him to speak up, but Chandler had publicly taken a stand.

“You have two choices,” Chandler said, warning Dante with his penetrating gaze.

“Either do as my wife says and make Lola apologize, or forget our friendship.”

“No, wait, Chandler, how can you…”

Dante tried to argue, but seeing Chandler’s gloomy face, he fell silent.

He knew their long-standing friendship wasn’t something to be easily discarded.

Besides, Dante was well aware that Anne was distressed this evening.

Anne’s anger was entirely because she was worried about their child. Dante wasn’t really trying to protect Lola.

He just didn’t want to make a big scene and make it awkward for everyone.

“Lola, apologize to Anne,” Dante said.

Lola hesitated, and Meryl finally let go of her.

Her face was marked with two slap prints and even some nail scratches, and her hair was a mess.

Tearful, Lola glanced at Dante before reluctantly saying to Anne.

“Anne, whether you believe it or not, I didn’t mean it, but I apologize because I don’t want Dante to be caught in the middle! I’m sorry!”

Meryl thought, “Even at this point, she still dared to be sarcastic?”

Meryl kicked her in the backside, and Lola immediately fell flat on the ground.

“You’d better think carefully about your words and say it again!

“Not wanting Dante caught in the middle? Who do you think you are?

“Bitch, stop meddling in other people’s affairs!”

Scolded so harshly by Meryl, Lola felt her face turn from pale to flushed.

She realized that Meryl was a fierce woman, completely disregarding her image even in front of her men, speaking so harshly.

She thought, “Was she not worried about how he saw her? She is so careless about her image!”

Seeing Dante had no intention of defending her, Lola looked down, deeply humiliated and aggrieved. “Anne! I’m sorry!”

Anne coldly turned away, ignoring her.

Meryl spoke coldly, “And about the photos! You photoshopped them, stirring up trouble between them. Was it your plan to seduce him by taking advantage of the situation?”
