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.
