Chapter 318 Not Wasted
The table was made of glass. After several hard impacts, blood seeped from the corner of Rocky’s mouth, and even one corner of the table had cracked.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. Rocky was almost blacked out from the blows, rendered unable to resist, his head swimming, barely able to stand.
Dalton had quietly followed Meryl and waited outside the room. So, he had clearly heard everything Rocky and Meryl said.
Dalton heard that Meryl and Rocky had not slept together before and that Lydia had bribed Rocky. He also heard Rocky swear that Lydia had lost her virginity to him three years ago.
Strangely, hearing this didn’t make Dalton feel bad. Instead, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had finally shed a burden.
Dalton suddenly recalled the day he got drunk and woke up in bed with Lydia. Lydia had claimed it was her first time.
It turned out she had lied. Her first time had been with Rocky long ago.
But for Dalton, that was his first time.
Thinking back now, Dalton only felt disgusted. The mere thought of Lydia made him sick.

The living room window was narrow, and Dalton, who had heard everything from outside, couldn’t climb in.
The situation inside was dire, and he immediately kicked through the floor–to–ceiling window.

Seeing Meryl being pinned under Rocky, Dalton’s eyes turned blood–red.
Driven by his possessiveness, he went berserk, grabbing Rocky and beating him as if venting all his pent–up frustrations onto him.
Dalton, in his rage, hit Rocky over and over, turning his head into a bloody mess, showing no intention of stopping.
Meryl finally snapped out of her shock. The moment she saw Dalton, she was surprised. She thought, “When did he get here?”
Russell, from next door, heard the commotion and came to check. To his shock, he walked into a scene of bloody violence.
Without a word, Russell rushed to save Rocky.
“Dalton, watch out! He has a weapon!” Meryl shouted as she saw Russell was holding a sharp knife.
Russell’s face was filled with malice. Such desperadoes strike the hardest, and if he stabbed Dalton, the consequences would be dire.

Meryl’s timely warning brought Dalton back to his senses. Without hesitation, he swiftly grabbed Rocky and used him as a shield.
Russell, unable to retract his force and not expecting Dalton to react so quickly, ended up stabbing Rocky in the abdomen.
“Ugh…” Rocky coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body swaying and collapsing to the floor like a puppet with its strings
cut.
“Rocky!” Russell shouted.
With blood streaming from his head and a stab wound in his abdomen, Rocky was at death’s door.
Russell panicked, dropping the knife and rushing to check on Rocky. He hurriedly explained, “Rocky, I didn’t mean to!”
Dalton seized the opportunity to kick Russell square in the chest, hitting him right in the heart and causing him to fall.
The living room was chaotic, and John finally rolled over from the next room. With his hands and feet bound, he tumbled to Meryl’s feet. “Meryl! Are you okay?”
Fear was evident in his eyes as he anxiously looked at Meryl. Seeing that she was only slightly disheveled and her clothes were intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Meryl immediately started untying John. “I’m fine. What about you? Are you hurt?”

John shook his head. “My knees hurt a bit, but it’s nothing
serious.”

Frowning, John glanced at the destroyed camera on the floor. “What do we do now? All the evidence is gone. I filmed everything for nothing!”
John had been hiding in the adjacent room filming when someone had snuck up on him and covered his mouth.
John had watched as Russell destroyed the camera’s chip and memory. “All our efforts today are wasted!”
Meryl shook her head. As long as they were safe, that was what mattered. Besides, their efforts hadn’t been in vain. At least she now knew the truth about what happened back then, and John understood Lydia’s ruthlessness.
