Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 309 Stalking

After receiving a generous sum of 100 million dollars from Malcolm, Meryl headed to the mall and bought a designer handbag to gift Anne as a Christmas present.

Anne had first learned about Meryl's kidnapping through the news on TV. She immediately called Meryl, accusing her of not telling her such a big incident.

By the time she realized she hadn't informed Anne, two days had already passed since the kidnapping. When Anne saw the limited-edition handbag worth millions of dollars in front of her, she raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What's going on? Is this really for me?"

Anne, well-versed in fashion, instantly recognized it as this season's hottest item, one that couldn't be bought even with extra cash.

Anne said, "I know Chandler's wealthy, but isn't this a bit extravagant? Buying such an expensive bag for your best friend. Won't Chandler mind?"
