Chapter 248 The Most Special Person

While Anne trained in balance exercises on an empty stomach to control her weight, Meryl accompanied her by her side.

“Come on, Anne, are you tired? How about I treat you to a fat-burning meal after we finish?”

“I need to lose two more pounds to look better for the upcoming exam.”

“You already look great enough to captivate all the judges.”

Meryl gently rubbed Anne’s cheek and looked at her seriously. “Look, you’ve lost all the chubbiness in your face. Give me back my plump and cute Anne.”

Meryl never hesitated to offer compliments and praise to Anne.

She was a spice in Anne’s monotonous training life, as well as her support.

Anne and Meryl were very special to each other, willing to sacrifice anything for one another.

So when Anne saw Meryl facing unfair treatment, she naturally stood up for her, just like how Meryl had protected Anne during her ordeal with Lola.

The Stone family didn’t treat Meryl well, so they wouldn’t pay much attention to what Meryl said.

But Anne was different.

As an outsider, her words carried more weight.

Sure enough, after Anne confronted Malcolm and Bianca, they fell silent.

However, Anne did not intend to let it go.

She looked at Malcolm and Bianca. “Any normal parents would cherish their biological child as a treasure, but you two are different.

“You are blind and ignorant, allowing Lydia, an adopted daughter, to bully Meryl, your own flesh and blood. Outsiders will definitely think that your parenting is abnormal.”

Anne stopped using veiled criticism and straightforwardly targeted Malcolm and Bianca.

Malcolm and Bianca stood there awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

Tears welled up in Lydia’s eyes.

She choked back her emotions. “Anne, don’t blame my parents. They just like me. Love can never be fair. Even if you want to speak up for Meryl, you can’t criticize my parents. They are at least your elders.”

“Go away. I’m not talking to a bitch like you.”

Anne held Lydia in contempt and couldn’t even be bothered to insult her properly.

Lydia’s expression changed unpredictably. Being publicly called a bitch left her speechless with anger.

After a moment, Lydia grabbed Dalton’s arm. “Dalton, Anne is so fierce. How could Dante have married her?”

Dalton was well aware of the relationship between Anne and Meryl, but Anne calling Lydia a bitch in public made him feel angry too.

After all, Lydia was still his wife, and he held a prominent position in Kingsdom.

Dalton reminded her, “Anne, you should watch your words.”

Anne mocked, “Are you feeling sorry for her? Don’t talk to me, you scumbag. You and Lydia are just as bad as each other.”

Dalton, no matter how good-natured he was, couldn’t endure this.

“Anne, you better know when to stop. You’re getting a divorce from Dante. Do you still think you’re something special? How dare you talk to me like that?”

Anne laughed nonchalantly. “No matter what my relationship with Dante is, I still have the right to speak. Dalton, did I hit a nerve? Are you feeling guilty?”

“No wonder Dante cheated. With your harshness, no man could stand you.”

Anne froze for a moment, thinking, “Is it really like that?”

Just then, someone walked in from outside.
