Chandler had clearly been there for a while, yet he was standing unnoticed at the back of the crowd.

Meryl felt tense facing the accusations from so many people. She didn't want Chandler to get involved, but his presence gave her a sense of comfort.

Thinking that Chandler had heard their previous conversation, Meryl felt even more heartbroken for him.

Dylan appeared determined to brush off the situation. To him, Chandler was clearly the one who needed to yield.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

Meryl walked over to Chandler, grasping his hand tightly as if to silently offer her support.

Chandler instinctively pulled Meryl into his embrace. He understood her desire to protect him.

Warmth flooded through him, and he wanted nothing more. than to hold her tightly and kiss her deeply.

"How could I not come when you were being targeted by so many people?"

Meryl leaned against Chandler's shoulder, casually replying, "It's not really bullying. They are your family, after all. We were just having a lively discussion." Chapter 429 Chandler Arrives
