Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After P... 1/7 Chapter 712 Leave

Malcolm had caught every word of their exchange. In that moment, understanding finally dawned on him. He stared at Sandra, a mix of confusion and disbelief clouding his eyes, then his gaze shifted to rest on Morton. Something that could make Charlotte so angry...

Meeting Malcolm's gaze, Morton was overcome with embarrassment.

The situation was nothing short of excruciatingly awkward.

Morton seethed inwardly, thinking, "This is Sandra's fault! She took the money and promised to disappear. How on earth is she not only still in Kingsdom but has also ensnared Malcolm?"

"Charlotte, what are you talking about?" Morton was quick to deny it. "Lydia couldn't possibly be my daughter. You're well aware that I've had no contact with Sandra for ages!"

Charlotte's expression remained stony, and she held her tongue.

Malcolm, observing the peculiar scene, seemed to grasp the gravity of the situation.

He looked at Sandra with incredulity and demanded, "Sandra, you dated him?" Chapfer 712 Leave

Sandra was quick to defend herself. "Malcolm, you've got it all wrong. I didn't..."

Before she could finish her plea, Malcolm slapped her.

Morton had already all but admitted it, yet Sandra still dared to prevaricate.

Malcolm's eyes blazed with hatred, and he said with anger, "You're shameless! How are our two families supposed to co-exist? What about Lydia?" Undoubtedly, Lydia would bear the brunt of this revelation.

Lydia's standing within the Aniston family had always been tenuous. Now, this incident had thrown a further wrench in the

works.

Malcolm was at a loss as to how Lydia would navigate her relationship with the Aniston family from this point forward.

Charlotte was bound to despise Lydia even more. Malcolm felt a deep sense of shame wash over him.

Malcolm bellowed at Sandra. "Get out of here! Don't ever show your face in front of us again! It's all your fault!"

Sandra was rendered speechless. Remorse consumed her.

Tears welling in her eyes, she looked towards the operating

room and pleaded, "But Lydia is still in there, giving birth. I have to be here to ensure she comes out safely..."
