Chapter 1264: "What's there to fuss about? Your brother's thirty and hasn't had a single relationship. I'd be thankful if he's finally found someone who captures his interest." "Dad, what's your take on this?" Gerry pressed.

Philip's response cwith a knowing smile.

"I always defer to your mother's judgment." Madison added, “I can tell Cliff doesn't like Juliet at all. The engagement was merely to put our minds at ease. That foolish boy- all we want is his happiness. He's always orchestrating everyone else's life but neglects his own." She ended with a heavy sigh.

Her words struck a chord in Gerry's heart.

"I retract my comment about him losing his mind." Shortly after, Cliff descended the stairs, car keys jingling in his hand.

"Where are you headed?" Gerry asked, feigning innocence.

"Work," Cliff replied, his face an expressionless mask.

"At this hour? What kind of work demands your attention now?" Gerry's lips curved into a teasing smirk.

"Better hurry, or Merrick's car will be long gone." Cliff stormed out, the door slamming behind him with enough force to rattle the frames.

Gerry shouted after him, "Hey! Do you even know where Merrick lives?" Cliff's sleek vehicle tailed Merrick's car with practiced precision, maintaining enough distance to remain undetected.

The chase ended when Merrick's sports car finally pulled up at the entrance of an upscale apartment complex.

As Merrick lifted Laney's suitcase from the trunk, he made one last attempt, his voice tinged with concern.

"Are you absolutely certain you don't want to stay with me? With all this online harassment, living alone could be risky." Laney replied calmly, "It's precisely because of the situation that I can't accept your offer. I refuse to let you becentangled in this mess." A glimmer of hope flickered across Merrick's features.

"So once this whole situation blows over, you'll consider staying with me?" "No." The hope in Merrick's eyes dimmed into disappointment.

Despite Laney's subtle protests, Merrick insisted on accompanying her upstairs. Exhausted from then day's events, Laney relented, hands buried deep in her coat pockets, her gaze fixed on nothing in particular. Sensing her somber mood, Merrick thought better of mentioning her distress.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow for sfun," Merrick offered,with his usual gentlemanly charm as they reached her door. Laney deflected his invitation with a murmur.

"You should focus on your own affairs." Merrick accepted her response gracefully and turned to leave.

As the elevator doors slid shut, the motion sensors triggered the hallway lights, revealing Cliff's shadowy figure. His eyes fixed on the apartment number: 1102. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
