Chapter 93 An Unexpected Turn

As soon as Meryl finished her words, she pulled out the chair opposite Lydia and Dalton and plopped down.

Meryl rested one hand on her chin and drummed the other on the table, looking like she was ready to watch a show.

She commented, “Lydia, you’re not doing it right. You really shouldn’t rub your chest against Dalton with your small A-cup. It’s not doing anything. Just ask him if you don’t believe me. Isn’t it like one of those haunted house actors trying to scare people?”

Lydia’s face twisted in anger as she leaped off Dalton’s lap. “Meryl, you bitch! What nonsense are you spouting?!”

She actually had done it on purpose.

Lydia had come to find Dalton, planning to ask him out for dinner. But as soon as she reached the reception, she saw Meryl stepping out of the elevator. It was obvious to her that Meryl was there for Dalton. For days, Lydia hadn’t slept well since Meryl started working at Galaxy Holdings Group, as she feared they would secretly meet.

Especially that day when Lydia heard Meryl playing the cello in the music room. Meryl was playing the same piece Dalton had listened to during his coma after his car accident. Lydia was sure that this was Meryl’s attempt to win Dalton back. Lydia was way more terrified than ever. No one knew better than she did that her relationship with Dalton began because of that piece of music. She worriedly thought that if Dalton found out it was actually Meryl playing the cello all those years ago, things might take a dramatic turn. Worried that something might go wrong at the wedding, Lydia had been visiting more frequently these days.

Meryl calmly looked at Lydia’s furious face and asked, “Not pretending anymore? You better think before you speak, Lydia. Your sweet and innocent act is falling apart.”

Lydia was stunned to hear that, and her eyes instinctively darted to Dalton.

Dalton looked at Lydia, a hint of suspicion crossing his face.

Her eyes quickly reddened, and she gently tugged on Dalton’s sleeve, adopting a soft, gentle demeanor. “Dalton… Don’t listen to her nonsense.”

Dalton actually had also done it on purpose.

Lately, he noticed that Meryl had changed so much, frequently ignoring him, which made him feel very uneasy. That was why Dalton asked her to deliver the documents, but he hadn’t expected Lydia to show up as well. Lydia walked in and immediately clung to him. He had been working and wasn’t in the mood for it. But then, Dalton found himself really wanting to know how Meryl would react to seeing him and Lydia being intimate. He was sure that if it had been before, Meryl would have thrown a fit. But the outburst Dalton expected didn’t happen. Instead, he and Lydia became a joke in Meryl’s eyes. He then was suddenly overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling.

It hit Dalton that Meryl seemed to truly be done with him. He couldn’t believe it and wondered, “How is that possible? A woman who used to write me letters even when she was in prison – how could she just stop loving me?”

Meryl glanced at her phone, smiled, and waved at the two of them. “Don’t let me stop you two. Go on.”

With that, she walked away decisively without looking back.

Dalton frowned, “Stop right there, Meryl! Did I say you could leave?”

Meryl stopped in her tracks and turned to say, “I’ve already delivered the documents. What? Do you really want to put on a live show right in front of me?”

“Who said the documents were delivered?” Dalton grabbed the files from the table and tossed them into the trash bin beside him without hesitation. “I’ll decide if they’re delivered or not. Meryl, do you know what happens if these files get lost?”

In response to his unreasonable behavior, Meryl slowly took out her phone. She then started recording with her phone, filming the scene in Dalton’s office and walking to the trash can to film the documents he had thrown in.

“I already delivered them. It’s not my problem if you lose them,” Meryl said, shaking her phone, “I got the proof.”

With that, she walked away in her high heels, leaving gracefully.

Dalton stepped forward to grab Meryl, but just then...
