Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 48 Here They Came

Dalton was desperate to protect Lydia, but with one arm injured, he found himself at a disadvantage.

To make matters worse, Cate was actively siding with Charlotte, complicating the situation even further. The three women were caught up in their drama, leaving Dalton feeling powerless.

As he watched Lydia being dragged away, he realized he couldn't handle Charlotte directly.

Instead, he turned to his sister. "Cate, what are you doing? Get

Mom off Lydia right now!"

Cate wasn't about to comply.

She had her own grievances against Lydia, especially after the

recent chaos surrounding Dalton's engagement, which had

made her a laughingstock in school.

"Dalton! Mom's right-Lydia doesn't deserve you!"

The scene was spiraling out of control, with relatives from

the second and third branches of the family keeping their distance, worried that they might get caught in the crossfire.
