Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 268 No Going Back

No wonder Dalton wanted to divorce Lydia.

His personality could never tolerate such betrayal.

Dalton said, "Meryl, I'm asking you one last time. Three years ago, were you the one who bribed those thugs to kidnap Lydia? Or was it all just her own scheme, something she orchestrated herself?"

As soon as Dalton mentioned the events from three years ago, Meryl's expression turned cold.

A sharp pain pierced her heart.

This was a shadow that had haunted her entire life.

Those three years in prison-every day was an absolute nightmare for her. Meryl even considered ending it all at times.

The prime of her life was wasted away behind bars.

The meager meals, the beatings from other inmates, and the long scar on her ankle-these were wounds that would never heal.

Meryl didn't immediately answer Dalton's question. Instead, she asked in return, "What did Lydia tell you back then?"
