Chapter 1274:

Cliff tried calling her, but unsurprisingly, she didn’t answer. He decided to search for her downstairs. Knowing she couldn’t drive, he guessed she might be out with friends at this time. He opened a mobile app to locate Merrick’s car. To his surprise, it was parked in the underground garage. They hadn’t gone out?

When Cliff checked the exact location, he was shocked to see two figures in the car. Could Laney and Merrick be together in there? Sitting together in a car in the parking lot at this hour?

Cliff felt uneasy, so he decided to investigate. As he approached the parking lot, he noticed Merrick’s car nearby, shaking noticeably. Muffled panting and rhythmic thumping sounds reached his ears.

Realizing what was happening, a whirlwind of thoughts filled Cliff’s mind, his pulse racing. Instinct took over, and he moved swiftly toward the car. Without hesitation, he yanked the door open.

Inside, Merrick was beneath a woman with long, wavy hair, straddling him.

Both froze, eyes wide in shock at Cliff’s abrupt intrusion.

Cliff stood there, speechless.

A few seconds later, the woman let out a startled scream and tried to get up, only to slam her head against the car’s roof. She let out a pained groan and slumped back down.
