Chapter 114 Go to Hell
Hearing this, Chandler looked at Dalton thoughtfully, then rested his eyes on Meryl’s face. Chandler’s eyes exhibited an unfathomable coldness.
The moment Meryl caught sight of the expression in Chandler’s eyes, she instantly realized that he had misunderstood something.
She quickly said, “What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with me. I only have Chandler in my heart.”
Chandler had gone to the bathroom just now, so he didn’t know that she and Anne ordered gigolos. After all, Anne and Dante were still married. So, although it was Anne’s idea to have some gigolos, Meryl couldn’t expose her friend in front of so many people in order to defend herself.
Therefore, Meryl refused to admit it.
Dalton sneered, his eyes full of mockery. “You dare to do it, yet you don’t admit it.”
Chandler’s grip on the glass suddenly tightened when he heard Meryl say she only had him in her heart. As Chandler’s gaze shifted to Meryl’s face, his expression turned serious.
Thinking he had misunderstood, Meryl quickly clarified, “It’s a misunderstanding about the gigolos. It’s not what he said. Don’t believe it.”
Dalton felt uncomfortable when he saw Meryl anxiously explaining to Chandler. Furrowing his brow, Dalton asked, “You are shameless to come here to give Uncle Chandler a birthday gift?”
Meryl came empty-handed, leading Dalton to firmly believe that she wouldn’t be able to present anything to Chandler. Dalton had always doubted the genuineness of Meryl’s affection for Chandler. Today, with his friends present, he wanted to expose her and make it impossible for her to continue feigning her feelings any longer.
Meryl pressed her lips, and just as she lifted her eyes, they met Chandler’s gaze. She offered a smile to Chandler before suddenly reaching out and placing her hand on her neck.
Meryl held a red rope, and with deliberate slowness, she pulled on it, revealing a pendant. The moment he saw the pendant, Dalton’s expression suddenly changed.
He was acutely aware that Meryl had worn that pendant since the day they first met, and she never removed it. Despite Dalton’s lack of curiosity regarding the pendant’s origin, he understood that it was very important for her. But now, Meryl actually would give this pendant to Chandler as a birthday present?
He began to feel remorseful for bringing up the birthday gift in the first place.
Meryl lowered her head slightly and took the pendant off. The pendant she held in her hand showcased delicate patterns and possessed a translucent quality. Illuminated by the bar’s lighting, it emitted a gentle and warm glow.
Meryl held the pendant in both hands and handed it to Chandler. “This has been with me for a decade, a constant companion that I never part with,” she whispered, “Chandler, happy birthday.”
Chandler’s gaze paused on the pendant. Dalton had given this pendant to her as a token of appreciation for saving him in the past. He couldn’t help but be surprised that she had worn it for ten years.
Chandler hesitated, realizing that since he had given the pendant to Meryl, it now belonged to her. There was no reason for him to take it back. Moreover, this pendant….
At this moment, a drunk man in the bar walked towards this side. He secretly held a sharp dagger in his sleeve while attempting to mask his intentions by holding an almost empty bottle of red wine in his other hand.
When Meryl turned her head to look, she suddenly saw the drunk holding a dagger and shouting, “Chandler, go to hell!”
The drunk man feigned drunkenness as he continued to approach them. In the midst of the noisy and dimly lit bar, with various blind spots, no one could have anticipated the sudden emergence of a dagger from the hands of a drunk.
At that time, the drunk was standing behind Chandler, taking advantage of his blind spot. With the dagger raised, he aimed at Chandler.
