Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 24 Confrontation at Stone Villa

Meryl shot Lydia a cold glance. "This is my home. It's perfectly normal for me to be here."

Lydia's expression froze as soon as she noticed the scarf Meryl was holding.

Lydia, of course, knew that scarf belonged to Dalton. Meryl had kept it like a treasure for the last ten years.

"Are you planning to apologize to Dalton with that? Are you trying to win him back?" Lydia asked.

Meryl didn't want to get caught up in too much back-and-forth, so she replied softly, "You're reading too much into it. I never planned on that."

"You've probably seen the news, haven't you?" Lydia asked out of the blue.

The news about her and Dalton from that morning must have caused quite a stir by now.

The paparazzi were hired by Lydia herself. Her original plan was to take the photos they snapped and cry to Dalton, saying their affair was about to be exposed.
