Lyra was listening to the lively music on the dance floor and was tasting the chocolate mousse made by a seven-star chef from France.Coldly, the man's broad palm broke into her line of sight."This young lady, I wonder if I would have the honor to invite you to a dance?"She raised her head and looked upward along her hand, and saw Melvin's unchanging cold face. Her appetite instantly became less than good.They were looking at each other.Melvin's heart abruptly missed a beat. It was the first time for him to seriously look at Lyra's face. He found that her features were just perfect. Her skin was fair and flawless, making her beyond comparison. It turned out that his ex-wife was really born very beautiful.Especially the eyes, they were like the stars in the sky, which were clear but with stubborn temperament.Unconsciously, Melvin looked dumbfounded.Her eyes gave him an illusion of déjà vu.He was in a daze when he saw Lyra suddenly smile sarcastically. Her eyes were full of indi
In the garden.Lyra had her arms crossed and stood in front the fountain to get some fresh air.If she didn't come out to get some air, she was probably going to be fainted by the disgusting smell of the banquet hall."Lyra!"A shrill voice suddenly sounded behind.She turned her head and saw that it was Sheila walking towards her, holding her head high."Didn't it hurt enough? Still want me to help you recall it?" She coldly looked back and her tone was aloof and cold.Sheila was so angry at her words that she wanted to go up and scratch her face, but thinking of her plan, she clenched her hands and held herself back.She took a bank card out of her LV bag and handed it to Lyra with a patronizing tone."There's $300,000 in here. It's yours as long as you promise never to hang around my brother again. Leave Frayton and never come back."Lyra frowned and gave an odd look at the bank card in her hand.A mere $300,000 can't even buy a strand of Lyra Lloyd's hair, and she wanted to buy he
Sheila looked at her smile and was even more confused.And Lyra had already opened the box, grabbed a large amount of bill with her hand and smashed it in Sheila's face.Before Sheila had time to react, she saw something smash over, and her face suddenly hurt, followed by the entire box of bills hitting her head and floating down from the top of her head, landing all over the floor.She was dumbfounded on the spot.Lyra teasingly curled her lips, "Here is a million dollars. As long as you voluntarily remove your name from the Freeman family and get out, this money is yours. How about that? Are you excited? This is several times more than what you offered!""You!"Sheila was so angry that her chest was heaving and her eyes were red with anger. This bitch dared to hit her face with money!And she taunted her with what she just said!"You're a sleeping-around whore! Bitch! How dare you show off with the money from sleeping with men! Ah! I'll kill you!"She gritted her teeth and rushed ov
Lyra raised her neck and pointed to Sheila on the floor with her eyes."Just ask her yourself and you'll know."Sheila was still coughing at the moment. Her face was red because of it, and she pointed her finger at Lyra with indignation for several times, but could not utter a word.Seeing this situation, Charlotte looked at Lyra with disappointment and said painfully, "Lyra, Sheila is your half sister. Although she just spoke badly in front of the hotel, she apologized. How can you retaliate against her like this?""She's just a young girl. Lyra, you used to be so kind. Why did you do this?"Her statement led to the conflict that it was Lyra's intentional retaliation.Sheila nodded her head furiously, coughing and crying, which was so pitiful.The crowd began to whisper. After all, the victim was the Freeman family's daughter. Unanimously, they were in favor of Sheila, and followed Charlotte to accuse Lyra.Melvin didn't make a statement, always looking at Lyra with a sullen gaze.Ly
Oh my God! What kind of amazing news was this?There was a rumor that Melvin had a wife that he had been hiding for three years, but they never thought it would be the woman Keith brought with him!With their words, and the way Lyra glanced at Charlotte before she left, it had something fishy, and was not simple!The way the crowd looked at Charlotte changed instantly.Charlotte was a little panicked, not expecting that she fell victim to the event.Now, everyone was wondering if she was the mistress!Melvin's assistant, Fred came forward, cleaned up the mess and explained to the crowd."Please do not misunderstand. Mr. Freeman and the Miss Carroll has been divorced. Miss Matthews and Mr. Freeman is in a normal relationship. For today's event, I hope everyone can respect the Freeman family and won't say a word."After he coped with the aftermath, the crowd finally went away.Sheila regained some strength and rose from the ground, clinging to Melvin's cuffs.Her thick black eyes looked
Melvin's face completely went dark. He looked at her disappointingly and there was violent rage."You're unbelievable."He yanked Sheila's hand off his sleeve and ordered, "From today on, you are grounded. You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission, so reflect on your mistakes!" After saying that, he pulled Charlotte away.Sheila tried to go after her, but Fred held her down and she could only cry and beg for mercy.Finally, she was forcibly dragged back to the Freeman Manor.She was so mad that she started smashing things to vent as soon as she got back, and the whole room crackled.Fiona was awakened by a violent noise and rushed over to check it out."Good girl, what's going on? Didn't you go to the party? Why did you get like this?""Mommy! Woo ..."Sheila cried and jumped into Fiona's arms and told her what happened at the dinner party, "Mom, you have to do something for me! Brother is biased! Not only did he not fix that bitch, he even grounded me! You have to help
Could it be Keith Lloyd?Melvin frowned, his voice was cold and stern, "Keep searching, and send someone to investigate Keith. Report to me as soon as you find it.""Yes."Fred nodded his head, but defiance was written on his face.Seeing that he was still standing there, Melvin was puzzled, "What are you standing here for? You've got something to say?"Fred hesitated for a minute, knowing that it might piss off his boss, but he couldn't hold it back."Sorry, sir, but you're confusing me more and more. You are obviously divorced, but you are still so concerned about your ex-wife, when you should actually pay attention to Miss Matthews. May I ask what are you thinking?"Melvin's eyes dimmed. He casually picked up the glass ashtray on the table, and smashed it towards Fred's feet."Scram."Fred knew it was time for him to leave.Melvin smoked two more cigarettes, and he looked a little hazy under the lingering smoke.Feeling a bit hungry, he got up and opened the refrigerator.The refri
Lyra furrowed her eyebrows and glared at her, "Miss Kim, please watch your tongue. I'm appointed by Mr. Lloyd in person. If you don't agree with it, you can ask Mr. Lloyd for an explanation." Stacy was speechless and just stared at her indignantly.Lyra was not annoyed. She smiled and took a sip of coffee, "I am indeed inexperienced, but I am afraid you're in no place to question my education."Stacy laughed, crossing her arms, and gave Lyra a sarcastic look, "Oh? Which diploma mill did you graduate from? Angle Group requires at least a graduate degree for a position above manager. Are you qualified?""I did not go to college, well, in the common way. Just when I was 14 years old and had plenty of free time, so I went to study in Manchester, and by the way, got my Doctorate Degree. I wonder if that is a diploma mill?"Lyra said it carelessly, as if she was just telling her a trivial matter.Stacy, however, looked at her with a stunned face full of disbelief.At the age of 14, she got
What was Melvin doing here?And the toast he referred to happened a long time ago, right?He remembered it well.She glanced at him.He was not the only one who came here,. Chad, Eleven, Twelve, Fifteen, Seventeen were all there.She subconsciously looked up at the second floor railing. Anthony was still leaning in place. Because of the lighting problems, she can not see his expression, but can detect that he was looking at this side.The man who made the toast was fierce by Melvin and looked at Lyra innocently, "This lady, I didn't mean anything else. It's just a glass of wine. I don't know why this gentleman is insulting me." "That's right. It's just a glass of wine."Lyra smiled. Her slender fingers reached the wine that had been transferred to Melvin's hands.Melvin refused to give it to her. His dark eyes were gloomy, and his face was written with displeasure.Her beautiful eyes were gentle and her tone was gently coaxing, "Be a good boy. Let go and I'll accept your toast next ti
Shuttling around from memory, she asked uncertainly, "Are you ...Rebecca?"Rebecca Callahan, who was happy to see that she remembered her, came forward and took her arm."Lyra, you are so beautiful. I haven't seen you for so many years. Did you miss me?Anthony said you are in Frayton and I couldn't wait to come and visit you."Rebecca and Anthony were half-brother and sister. She was the seventh in the of Callahan family, and she was the same as the youngest daughter, three years younger than her, and used to love to cling to her from childhood. She had a naive character but also an arrogant little princess.She smiled and tickled the tip of Rebecca's nose, "You have grown up and is still acting like a clinger?"Rebecca softly grabbed her arm wobbling, "Lyra, you laugh at me. It's because I like you. I still do not let others touch me. This time it is rare for me to leave home. Lyra, you have to accompany me." To accompany her?This was not to find herself a little troublesome person?
Twelve glanced at Nineteen who are next to him. He was a little worried and wished to speak but stopped on a second thought: "Miss..."Lyra waved her hand lazily, "You can leave."When the two had just left, she received another call from Keith."Rara, Collin has double-checked. The family's list doesn't have a file on a man who looks like this one."Lyra pursed her lips and was lost in thought.Keith continued, "It could be that your new recruit Nineteen is lying, or it could be this person is hiding deep. In any case, you can't believe everything, and Nineteen is someone you should be careful with." "Well, don't worry, Keith. I know what to do."Hanging up the phone, she took out the sketchbook in the drawer, flipped to the page with the portrait of the man in black, and looked at it carefully for a while before continuing to work.It was close to off duty before she took Nineteen with her and set off for Fantalure Bar.Nineteen was driving and Lyra sat in the back.The atmosphere i
Was it because boss was divorced, that he fell in love to stimulate the mind of boss?His knees sank almost instantly, and he had to kneel down on the spot, screaming in agony."Boss, I was wrong! I never dare to quietly fall in love again. Please forgive me this time ... or you punish me!""Who said anything about punishing you?"Eh?Brad's bent knee stopped midway. The posture was awkward. And his expression was obviously still puzzled, which was a little comical.Melvin's face was expressionless. His eyes were serious, "I recently encountered a similar problem, so I called you to Frayton and asked you for advice."The word "advice" was uttered. Brad had trepidation, and observed him for half a second. Seeing that he really did not mean to get angry, Brad tentatively said."My girlfriend has a good temper. She is gentle as water, but can not touch the bottom line. She will explode if I get her mad. As for making her happy well, it is nothing more than a small gift and attitude, and
She had known him for so long. Although he had pretended to be aggrieved a few times before, it was still the first time for her to see his crying look. Was he really sad?She sighed helplessly and softened her tone a bit, "I said it was an act, and you were serious?"Melvin did not speak, lowered his eyes, with a touch of fragile vulnerability.Yes, he was serious and sank into it.In the end, it was the reality that hurt him.Lyra had nothing to say, and only by being awake from beginning to end will she not lose her judgment.Acting was just acting. The fake can never become real. She had always been clearly distinguished.Besides, did he want her to coax him?Impossible.Besides, she couldn't say anything comforting.She turned her head and was about to leave, changing back to a cold tone, "Hurry up and sweep. I'm going to bed."However, she just took a step and her wrist was clutched by Melvin from behind.She had a tired look on her face, "Let go, I'm tired."Melvin didn't move,
Anthony was really irritated by it.He suppressed his inner frenzy and softened his tone."Lyra, I can do these too. I'm better looking than him. Wouldn't I please you more?"Lyra picked Melvin's chin again and observed his features."You are good looking, but he is handsome, not the same."Anthony's features were soft and delicate. A pair of blue eyes made him look more good-looking, more beautiful than the beauty.Melvin's eyes were dark and deep, and his features were handsome and extraordinary.When not smiling, it gave others a cold and hostile feeling.When he lowered his eyes and pretended to be innocent, there was a feeling of a big wolf in sheep's clothing, very undesirable.His face was more handsome.His thin lips were lightly gripping the shirt. His hands were bound, which was the ultimate desire.It made others feel the urge to bully him badly.Melvin heard what she said. Her voice was crispy, soft and extraordinarily pleasant to ears.He kept his hands up and his shirt i
The two men got on quickly and methodically, moving so fast they almost overlapped and were indistinguishable.Lyra did not know how to assemble this stuff, looking dazzled.But she kept her eyes on Melvin.He was too calm. He said he had only touched a few times, but the skilled movements were completely out of his muscle memory.It was impossible to do without years of experience in using guns so he was able to assemble with Anthony without the slightest disadvantage.She stared intently at Melvin. Her expression was growing grim.Across the room, Anthony was keenly aware that Lyra's focus had been on the opposite side.When assembling to the last part, his hand deliberately paused for half a second.In this half second, Melvin had already finished putting it together, coldly raised his gun and aimed at between his eyebrows. The killing intent was rolling under his eyes. Hid bony hand gestured to pull the trigger.Lyra noticed his movement and voiced out almost instantly, "Melvin, n
He was reclining on the sofa. His blue eyes were smilingly staring at Melvin.The posture was lazy and evil.He checked the men around Melvin. He was not a simple character, and Melvin's profile was so clean, so clean that he had to be suspicious."I'm just Melvin. That's all."Melvin's dark eyes stared at him. He stepped up to the sofa next to Anthony's and sat straight and upright.Melvin gently glanced at him. The first he noticed was Anthony's perfect pectoral muscles and collarbone which were exposed from his black shirt. With the blue and deep eyes, he was simply good-looking like a goblin.Even he, a man, found this image beautiful, and Lyra should find it eye-catching too, right?Melvin suddenly remembered what Anthony said to Lyra "affection for so many years". And in the police department, when Lyra saw Anthony, her face was complex.Lyra she... once liked him, right?Anthony noticed that he was staring at his body, and smiled evilly, "I am a man who is imperative to what is
Along with this shot, a sudden stabbing pain came from his body.It was not the heart, but the right arm.He opened his eyes and looked down to find a bloodstain left on his white shirt from a bullet that had grazed his arm.The shouting behind them suddenly stopped.He looked back and found Charlotte still maintaining her pose with her teeth and claws open to attack him. Her expression gradually changed from fierceness to numbness. Her heart was pierced by a bullet. The blood was like a blooming poppy, staining her dress red.Charlotte froze, and after seeing the blood on her chest, her face turned pale, and soon both eyes rolled over. And she fell to the ground unconsciously.A rhythmic and powerful applause came from outside the door.Anthony looked at Lyra with praise in his eyes, "Lyra, you are too modest. Although you haven't used a gun for so many years, your technique is still very accurate, really worthy of my teaching."Lyra threw the revolver in her hand, and her face was c
