Chapter 297 She’s Trying to Seduce Dalton!
At that moment, Dalton was alone in Lydia’s hospital room.
He sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Meryl approaching.
“After all that happened last night, are you hurt?” Dalton asked, his voice tinged with concern.
Meryl froze for a moment, wondering, “Is Dalton actually showing concern for me?”
It hit her suddenly.
As Chandler had carried her out of the abandoned building the previous night, she remembered seeing Dalton’s car parked nearby.
She thought, “So, Dalton has been there too?
But Lydia has been rescued earlier.
Why was Dalton at the scene?”
Everyone believed Dalton was carrying 50 million dollars to rescue Lydia, but no one knew better than Dalton himself that his real concern was for Meryl..

Seeing Dalton act so out of character, Meryl instinctively took a step back, trying to distance herself from him.
Unfortunately, she stumbled over a chair behind her.
Dalton’s expression hardened instantly; he leaned forward and grabbed Meryl’s wrist.
At that precise moment, Lydia was wheeled in.
She had been taken for an ultrasound, and the doctor said she hadn’t had a proper prenatal checkup since becoming pregnant, so a more detailed examination was necessary.
Charlotte was there, too, concerned about her grandchild’s development.
Charlotte was shocked to see this scene.
Lydia’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as if she had finally caught Meryl in a wrongdoing..
“Charlotte! See? I wasn’t lying! She’s really trying to seduce Dalton!”
Lydia, pale and frail from a long night and troubled by her baby’s condition, looked like a fragile flower on the brink of wilting.
Meryl hadn’t expected Dalton to catch her.

She pulled her hand away from Dalton’s grip, her voice cold and distant. “Me trying to seduce him? Lydia, what are you talking about?”
Lydia shouted, her voice growing louder as if it would make her feel more justified, “I saw it with my own eyes. You’re not going to talk your way out of this!
“Chandler doesn’t know yet that you’re such a loose woman! Charlotte, you saw it clearly, didn’t you? It’s Meryl, she’s trying to seduce Dalton!”
Charlotte frowned.
Lydia, lying on a stretcher, might not have seen clearly, but Charlotte had watched the whole thing standing up.
Dalton had approached Meryl first, and there had been a distance between them before.
Charlotte had no intention of escalating the situation since it wouldn’t benefit her son.
Besides, Charlotte had never liked Lydia and had no intention of letting Lydia think that being pregnant with Dalton’s child gave her any special privileges.
So Charlotte snapped at Lydia, “Stop making up nonsense! Just lie down and calm down.”
Chapter 297 She’s Trying to Seduce Dalton! Lydia, stunned, looked at Charlotte in shock.

She was taken aback by the unexpected reprimand and started to cry uncontrollably.
The more Lydia cried, the more irritated Charlotte became.
She thought, “How could a woman like her possibly be worthy of my son?
Dalton wants a divorce, and of all times, Lydia ends up pregnant.
Morton has been sent abroad by Chandler, leaving me with nothing to do but endure Halle and Cameron’s relentless mockery.
Especially Cameron! She keeps going on about how Morton, as the eldest son, can’t even hold onto Galaxy Holdings Group, letting Chandler, who was raised outside, push him out like this.
And I have nothing to counter that.
But if we have a grandson first, it would definitely bring some prestige back to us.
If the baby is born, could Morton use it as an excuse to return?
It would mean our family could finally be together again.”
That was why Charlotte was so desperate for a grandchild. Otherwise, if Dalton wanted a divorce, she’d be all for it.
