Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Disappointed 

1/4 

Dalton’s eyes narrowed menacingly as he shot a cold look at Harold. “I brought the money, but the people are missing. Care to explain?” 

In their line of work, there were rules. Once the payment was made, the release should follow. 

But now, with the people gone, Harold felt humiliated. 

“Damn it! Find out who had the guts to snatch them from me!” Harold cursed, storming back into the factory to check on his injured men. 

Seeing Dalton preparing to follow, Lydia clung to him. 

desperately. “Dalton, I’m so scared. It’s freezing here, and we don’t even know who took Meryl. Let’s go back and figure things 

out from there!” 

Dalton’s eyes flicked with cold irritation. “Go back?” 

“I’m hurt…” Lydia covered her swollen cheek. “My stomach 

hurts too…” 

“Then go on your own.” 

Dalton didn’t spare her another glance. 

His eyes were steely with disappointment.

He thought, “Meryl is missing, and we don’t know who took her, but she wants to just leave Meryl behind and go back? 

They were both kidnapped together, but she’s letting Meryl be taken by someone else and hiding behind a box. 

And now, she’s trying to stop me from finding Meryl.” 

Lydia continued to cling to Dalton, saying, “Maybe Meryl pissed off someone… She’s married to Chandler now. Aren’t you paying too much attention to her? Let’s go back, tell Chandler, and let him handle it. We don’t need you!” 

Dalton pressed his lips together tightly. 

He thought, “This might be my chance to save Meryl. 

After all, didn’t I rescue her from the bathroom all those years ago? That’s when our story truly began.” 

The thought of it stirred something in him. 

This time, he was determined to rescue Meryl, no matter what. 

Seeing Dalton’s stubbornness, Lydia grew increasingly anxious. 

“Dalton, I’m your wife! They have guns! This could end badly! With your position, you can’t go risking yourself like this. Let’s go back, call the police, and let them handle it!” 

Dalton had lost patience with her.

If he had any lingering feelings for her, they evaporated as he watched her ignore Meryl’s safety and only focus on getting 

away. 

Her selfishness was shocking. 

If she could be so cold to a sister raised under the same roof, what did that say about her true nature?

Dalton said with scorn. “Without a marriage license, what makes you think you’re my wife?” 

At his words, Lydia’s face went pale, disbelief flashing in her eyes. “Dalton…” 

He pushed her away and stepped into the factory. 

The two thugs who had been shot lay lifeless on the ground.
