Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 281 Not Answering

The bar was dimly lit, with the soft hum of conversation and clinking glasses in the background. Dalton was lounging in a booth while Billy sat across from him.

Billy took a slow drag from his cigarette, exhaling a thin plume of smoke. "So, Dalton, you're actually going through with the divorce from Lydia?

"To be blunt, you should never have married her in the first place. Everyone in Kingsdom knew how Meryl was chasing after you for seven years, and you two had a whole engagement thing going on. Then, out of the blue, you get involved with Lydia. "Your marriage to Lydia was a joke. She was just a mistress who got promoted, and now the rumors are flying around like crazy.

"But if you divorce now, it's going to stir up a lot of trouble. The famous young master in Kingsdom might end up as the subject of everyone's ridicule."

Dalton's silence was heavy, the smoke curling from his cigarette as if to shield him from the harsh truth.

He thought, "Billy's right.
