Chapter 816

"Gran, don't say that. I've spent enough time with Merritt to know he's got a good heart. He must've been tricked that time." Unbeknownst to them, Merritt had quietly returned and was now standing at the kitchen doorway.

He heard every word they said.

Peace reigned here.

Meanwhile, Vista Town was in utter chaos.

At the Ferguson Mansion, Dailey waited for Nelly to wake up, asking Abigail to give her some water and a bit of food.

Without probing, he simply said, "Rest up," before leaving her room.

Nelly didn't press the matter either.

Dailey then went downstairs, grabbed his coat, and was ready to leave when Jayne stopped him, whispering, "Is the wedding still on?"

The wedding dress was ordered, and the invitations were written, ready to be sent out.

But then, out of nowhere, Nelly had her crisis.

Dailey left them hanging with two words: "It's off," before striding away.

Back at Christine Apartments, Dailey inquired about Christine from Primo.

Primo said, "Ms. Jackson hasn't left her place since she got back."

Dailey glanced at Christine's door and then went back to his own apartment.
