Chapter 518 Chandler’s Mom

Chandler’s eyes were calm and distant. “It’s exactly what you see. We’re not staying at the Aniston Villa anymore.”

Dylan was clearly displeased. “Have you forgotten our family traditions? She’s pregnant, how could you possibly…”

“If we’re not happy living there, there’s no point in staying.”

Chandler wrapped one arm around Meryl’s shoulders protectively.

“Your precious grandson has been lusting after my wife, and you turn a blind eye. We’re simply choosing not to live at the Aniston Villa anymore. Which situation is more outrageous?”

Dylan was left speechless.

Without another glance at him, Chandler grabbed their suitcase with one hand and held Meryl’s hand with the other, heading for the door.

Dylan suddenly called out, “Let her wait. I need to talk to her.”

“There’s nothing to discuss. If you have something to say, say it to me. Dalton’s the one harassing her. She has nothing to do with this.”

Chandler was clearly protecting Meryl, worried that Dylan might give her a hard time.

“Dad! Watch your mouth!” Chandler’s voice dropped dangerously low, filled with barely contained anger.

Meryl froze. Apparently, the rumors circulating in Kingsdom had reached Dylan’s ears.

What on earth was Dalton trying to accomplish!

Chandler’s face darkened. “I never want to hear that question again! If Dalton keeps running his mouth, I’ll deal with him too. I don’t care who’s protecting him!”

Without warning, Chandler grabbed the vase Dylan had just carefully cleaned and smashed it against the floor.

The vase shattered instantly, leaving nothing but fragments scattered across the ground.

Dylan’s face contorted at the sight. “Chandler! That was your mother’s… how could you…”

“Why not?”

Chandler let out a sneer, completely indifferent. “You left her son out there for over ten years without a care in the world. Funny how a vase suddenly means more to you than a person.”

Dylan flinched as if struck. His lips trembled, unable to form words.

Chandler didn’t spare him another glance. He took Meryl’s hand and walked out.

Something felt off to Meryl.

“Dylan seemed to really care about what happened to Chandler’s mom,” she thought, puzzled.

“But if that’s true, why did he abandon Chandler for over a decade? Why dump him with some farmers and never look back?”

In the car, Meryl kept glancing at Chandler, clearly struggling with something she wanted to say.

She wasn’t sure if she should ask, worried that bringing it up would reopen old wounds.

Chandler picked up on her unspoken question.

He spoke softly, “It’s not a big secret, really. People say my mom died giving birth to me, and my dad resented me because he loved her so much that he sent me to live with farmers. But that’s not the real story.”

Meryl pressed her lips together. “What’s the truth?”

“The truth is, my mother claimed she found true love and ran off with another man. She dumped me on the Anistons like excess baggage. Word is they got into a car crash not long after they left. She’s been missing ever since—probably dead by now.”

Meryl’s face showed complete shock.

She had no idea something like this had happened.

Chandler’s mother had actually eloped with another man!
