Chapter 276: Dangerous

“Why?! Why does Meryl get everything without lifting a finger?” Lydia murmured to herself. “Dalton wants to divorce me for Meryl, and even Chandler is utterly devoted to her! But Meryl is just a bumpkin from the countryside—what’s so great about her anyway?”

Lydia’s heart burned with jealousy. “Meryl doesn’t deserve any of it!”

Watching Chandler’s retreating figure, Lydia hurried after him.

“You say you don’t care about her past, but what if she keeps fooling around after marrying you? Meryl has a lover on the side. Did you know that?”

Chandler stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

Lydia was convinced that Dalton wanted a divorce because Meryl had whispered something to him.

She thought Meryl wanted to have it all. “What a shameless act!”

“Heh…” Chandler let out a soft chuckle. “So, who’s the lover?”

Lydia wasn’t that foolish. There was no way she would admit that it was Dalton. That would be like shooting herself in the foot.

If Dalton got punished by Chandler, she’d be dragged down with him.

In just a few seconds, a calculating glint flickered in Lydia’s eyes. “Have you heard of Rocky? He’s the thug who kidnapped me. Meryl is still in contact with him! If you don’t believe me, investigate it! I guarantee you’ll uncover something shocking!”

“Rocky?”

A coldness enveloped Chandler, like the chill of an ancient glacier.

Even standing beside him, Lydia could feel the bone-chilling cold.

But as Chandler’s expression darkened, Lydia felt a surge of satisfaction.

The thought of Meryl soon facing her downfall brought a smile to Lydia’s lips. “That’s right! Rocky! He’s Meryl’s lover!”

Chandler suddenly began advancing toward her, his cold gaze like that of a demon emerging from the depths of darkness, exuding a terrifying sense of ruthlessness and indifference.

Lydia felt a chill run through her entire body.

“Do you have a death wish?” Chandler coldly said. “Do you even know who Meryl is, and yet you dare to spread such rumors about her?”

Chandler’s overpowering presence forced Lydia to retreat step by step until her back was pressed against the cold wall.

“Since I married her, I’ve given her my complete trust. Investigate her in secret? That’s impossible,” he scoffed. “Do you think everyone is like you, hiding in the shadows, spinning malicious lies with your filthy mind? I don’t care who Rocky is!

“Lydia, you just married into the Aniston family, so you might not be aware of my methods yet. You can ask Dalton’s mother how I made her husband disappear from the Aniston family in just a few days.

“And someone like you… dealing with you is as easy as crushing a bug. Believe me, if you dare to speak nonsense again, I’ll rip out your tongue myself.”

A terrifying sensation surged toward Lydia, sending a cold sweat down her back.

Though Chandler appeared to be a calm and dignified man, at this moment, he seemed more like a demon straight out of hell.

Especially when Chandler uttered the words “rip out your tongue”, Lydia caught a glimpse of a thrill hidden in his eyes.

Lydia only knew that everyone in the Aniston family feared Chandler, but she had no idea what he had done in the year since returning from the police academy to make them so terrified of him.

Yes, in those years Chandler spent at the border police academy, he must have tangled with plenty of criminals!

Someone like him had countless ways to deal with her!
