Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Lydia’s True Color 

“How dare you blame me for anything happen to you? Lydia, are you joking? You’ve done so many terrible things. Sooner or later, you’ll get what you deserve.” 

With that, Meryl didn’t linger any longer. 

Lydia stared at Meryl’s retreating figure, so furious that her hands clenched into fists, trembling with rage. 

“Meryl, even if you know everything I’ve done, what can you do about it? 

“I’m pregnant with the Aniston family’s child. This baby is my shield. 

“Even if Rocky has changed his testimony in prison, the Aniston. family will still protect me. My father will be on my side, so nothing will happen to me.” 

Meryl merely gave her a cold smile at those words. 

Just then, Dalton appeared. 

He had been quietly following Meryl ever since she began her evening walk in the garden after dinner. 

There was something magnetic about her that drew him closer without him even realizing it. 

As a result, he had overheard every word of the conversation

This was the first time Dalton had faced Lydia’s true nature. He had never imagined that she could be so vicious. 

He realized then that her past sweetness and vulnerability had 

all been an act. 

The shock and disillusionment hit him hard. 

Lydia’s face flickered with fear when she saw Dalton, but she quickly regained her composure and walked toward him. 

“Dalton, when did you get here? 

“Everything I said just now was out of anger. I was just arguing with Meryl. Don’t take it seriously.” 

Dalton’s gaze was laced with scorn. 

“The thought that someone like you is carrying my child makes me sick.” 

“Dalton, I told you, I was just saying nonsense. Don’t believe it.” 

“You said it yourself, Lydia. You just admitted to everything, but earlier, you blamed Rocky for slandering you.” 

Dalton’s eyes drifted to Lydia’s belly. 

“Get rid of the baby. Take the money and go. If you do it now, it won’t be too hard on your body. Name your price.” 

He was willing to pay anything to be rid of her. 

Tears immediately welled up in Lydia’s eyes.

“Dalton, how could you say such a thing in front of Meryl? You know how tense my relationship is with her. You’re trampling on my dignity! 

“You may not care about the child, but I’m his mother. I’m going to have him.” 

Dalton let out a disdainful laugh. 

“You knew all along that one day I’d leave you. That’s why you’re trying to use this child to tie me down for life, aren’t you? Lydia, you’re delusional. 

“Do you really think that after I expose everything you’ve done, my mother will still protect you?” 

Dalton’s voice grew colder with each word. “The only reason I haven’t said anything yet is because I was giving you some mercy. But now, I don’t see the need to hold back anymore.” 

With that, Dalton turned to leave. 

“Dalton, where are you going?” 

“Where do you think? I’m going to tell the Aniston family the truth about everything you’ve done.” 

“Dalton, you can’t be this cruel to me!” 

As the two argued, Meryl watched the spectacle from the sidelines with a detached indifference.
