Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 420 A Ploy

Nestled in his arms, the woman leaned against his chest, her coy demeanor striking right at his weakness. Chandler suddenly realized Meryl had him totally whipped.

Meryl's voice continued, "Do you know how many ways I had to think of to escape from Dalton?"

As she spoke, Meryl extended her hand towards Chandler.

Her palm bore a visible cut from a shard of porcelain.

Chandler's eyes darkened at her injury, a flicker of anger clearly rising in their depths.

He grabbed Meryl's hand, gripping it tightly as he asked anxiously, "How did this happen? Did Dalton do this?"

Meryl bit her lip and shook her head. "I did it to escape. I cut him with a piece of porcelain."

It was a case of hurting the enemy at the cost of injuring herself. She had indeed cut Dalton, but not without wounding herself in the process.

She continued, "I overheard Zane calling Dalton, saying they'd lured you here. I was scared something might happen to you, so I came up with a plan to hurt Dalton and steal his car keys."

Meryl lifted her head, looking into Chandler's eyes.
