Melvin gave a sarcastic laugh.This was a so-called right to choose. In fact, there was no choice.Because of the long hours of standing, the wound on his waist opened up and blood gurgled out of it, making him dizzy with pain.The innermost white shirt was stained and stuck uncomfortably to the wound.Luckily, with the black blazer covering it, Lyra didn't even notice.He compressed his thin lips and tried to smooth out his breathing so that no one could see the difference.Okay, it was only one year. He can afford it!He picked up the syringe, pulled his shirt sleeves up, aimed it at his arm, and injected it in hard as if he was venting. Lyra watched without saying a word and frowned when she saw him pushing very hard as if he was abusing himself. She heard that this would be very painful when injected, and she would like to see how long he can be proud.But in a few seconds, the drug directly went into his arm.Snap --It was the sound of a syringe falling to the floor.Melvin pres
So this was all she had done in three years? Melvin was speechless for a moment. He knew that Fiona was mean to her daughter-in-law. Did she deliberately quit all the maids and give her all the housework to do alone? At that time, every time he came home from work, he saw that the house was clean and the food was well served. No one never cared about the details. Because the old Freeman forced him to marry Lyra, he always subconsciously chose to ignore her existence, and when his mood was not good, he would even be sarcastic ... Lyra saw that he was lost in thought and waved her hand in front of his eyes before continuing. "But you'd better be prepared to use one year mortgage three years, and you'll have to do twice as much." Melvin shook his head and sneered. She really can't afford to lose anything. Lyra walked ahead, did not pay attention to his expression, remembered something, and said, "Oh yes, I forgot to buy a washing machine. So you have to hand wash and dry my clot
If he refused any further, it was obvious that he would be suspected.Melvin went to the kitchen with a cold face and brought out a new set of tableware.Under Lyra's stare, he picked up a green vegetable, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. He chewed it twice with no expression, and then swallowed it.The whole set of movements flowed smoothly.Melvin: "It's just a very common green vegetable taste. Do you try it?"Lyra held her chin in one hand, pointed at the dish with the other, "Take this plate and eat it all."Melvin's face changed slightly, then he smiled, "You said that you are the master here. This is made for you. How can I eat it?"Lyra didn't bother to talk to him, "If you don't eat I'll go call the bodyguards in and give you a hand.""You!"Melvin's dark eyes narrowed and he didn't shy away from staring at her, "Are you trying to overpower me with your power?"She didn't deny it."That's right. When dealing with the disobedient little manservant, of course I hav
You're not allowed to leave here."She was brief and to the point, and was about to close the door."Wait, hiss..."Melvin subconsciously reached for the door. The pain made him have cold sweats on his forehead.Lyra was also stunned, "Are you a pig? Blocking with your hands?"How much did it hurt?Melvin covered the right hand that was caught with grievance, "My hand is injured, and you can not let me finish? Although we signed the agreement, I should also have human rights. You can not deprive, so you do not feel..."Lyra interrupted him, "Tell me.""I want to go back to Cloud View Villa."He answered without hesitation, and his brow furrowed slightly.However, because of the injection of special drugs that caused weakness, his complexion was always paler than before. There was always a sickly feeling, but the expression had a fragile sense of beauty.He was taller than Lyra. Although there was no sense of oppression, he was more like a big wolf in sheep's clothing.Originally, Lyra
Lyra was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Okay, I get it."Wesley, the old fox, wasn't he out of Frayton by Ashley?He came back so fast.She thought and subconsciously looked at the man who was still scrubbing the floor.Men with broad shoulders and narrow waists, white shirts with black pants. Unexpectedly, it was harmonious.From Mr. Freeman to a manservant, he adapted quickly. It was so quick that Lyra wondered if he'd been through something similar before. Or had the experience of training?Despite doing a very humiliating thing, his whole body still exuded an air of reserve, as if the nobility was engraved into the bones.And Lyra found that, because he was very tall, when he wiped the floor he can only curl his legs and kneels. Only a short time, he seemed to start sweating again, and there was blood on his blood. It seemed like this position ... he was not only tired, but also very painful?His waist...Lyra stepped forward, and her was tone light, "Don't wipe. You c
After Wesley finished in front of Lyra, he sighed deeply and walked out of the president's office with his hands behind his back. He was exasperated and without looking back. When he was completely out of the Freeman group, he changed his face from a sad frown to a relaxed and happy smile.Meanwhile in the office.Lyra turned her head to Melvin and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly puffy and the thumbprint on the left side of his face was clearly visible.His handsome face that can be viewed every day, was beaten like this by Wesley.Sooner or later, she'll have to kill that old fox!"Does it hurt?"She cupped his chin and observed his injuries.Melvin had no expression and did not answer. His face was as calm as if he was not the one being beaten.Lyra saw him and got angry, viciously pinching the flesh on the left side of his face.Melvin tightened his eyebrows and averted his face in pain, trying to avoid her clutches.Finally his expression was different. She thought
Lyra's information about her 15-year-old was only one word "orphanage", but two big families' powerful young masters in Suham even said they had known her since childhood... Was she also from one of the big families in Suham?Then why did she end up in Frayton's orphanage, and happen to save old Freeman?Then she married him, and suddenly took the initiative to divorce, while robbing the Freeman group and the Freeman Manor when he was absent, and even letting Collin's people kill him ... Could everything have been premeditated from the beginning?If that was true, was she acting when she supposedly asked him to pay back the debt?Paying back her three years of youth debt was to clear her name and evoke his guilt?Melvin's dark eyes were serious, and the suspicion in his heart grew deeper.While he was thinking about it, the car arrived at the entrance of the Freeman Manor before he knew it.Melvin wanted to go in by himself and turned his head to the two bodyguards, "You guys just wai
The bodyguard heard it.emmm...It was as if they could imagine the scene!But if they didn't go in and watch, and Melvin ran away, they would not know how to explain ...The two people were a little hesitated. Melvin smiled and continued, "All the toilet windows in the Freeman Manor are sealed in order to prevent accidents. If you don't believe it, you can check."As he said, he walked in and tried to open the window in front of the bodyguards.Then they personally tried to open it. After confirming that it wouldn't open, they reviewed the whole toilet again, and there was only a ventilation pipe in the ceiling overhead. But the pipe was very small, and it was not like it could accommodate an adult male.Seeing the two of them wavering, Melvin added, "I don't feel well in my stomach, so I may need fifteen minutes. So please wait a little longer."The two men agreed."You only have fifteen minutes. If you don't come out by then, we don't care what you're doing in there."Melvin nodded
Melvin tilted his head to look at her and smiled in a pleasing way.Lyra gave him a deep look.Tonight he was really beatable. If she didn't beat him to cry, she can not endure this!She reached out and spread it out in front of him, "The belt."Melvin did not delay, unlocked the metal clasp immediately, handed her very obediently, and then turned his back to her.Lyra folded the belt in half and raised it high, as if to whip towards the already wounded back.But before the belt could be swung in her hand, her gaze unconsciously rested on the palm-sized burn on his back.The injury was bright red, which was quite hideous. It was too conspicuous, so it was difficult not to notice it.And the injury was caused when he protected her. Otherwise it was estimate that her face would get injured.Thinking of this, Lyra felt complex. It was as if there was a mysterious force that clamped her wrist that she can not do it.She sighed and was deflated suddenly, because she realized that she would
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly subtle because of these words.Melvin was frozen in place and didn't move even his finger.Lyra's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and her face was sullen, "Hurry up. I want to see the injury."Melvin was instantly deflated.Oh, it turned out to be just to see the injury. He was thinking too much.Wait...To see the injury?Why did she suddenly suspect his injury? Did Anthony say something to her?"My injury is fine. I've been medicated for the past two days, and I'm almost healed."Lyra coldly glanced at him, "Take it off!"Melvin didn't move, "It's bandaged. You can't see it when it's off.""Tear it down. Reapply the medicine later."She sounded resolute.This meant that she had to see it?Melvin didn't say a word and didn't move, wondering how he could put it off.Lyra saw right through him."Don't try to fool me tonight. You have to take it off!""Lyra, it warms my heart that you care about my injury, but it's too late tonight. It's better to
Lyra didn't hide it either, "Yes, if not, how can I catch you?"Anthony smiled, which looked a little bleak."When did you start guarding against me?""From the moment you took out the revolver and asked me to choose between Melvin and Charlotte. I felt something was wrong with you."How dared she suspect him from that moment on?Anthony stared at her and was somewhat incredulous.She continued expressionlessly, "It wasn't until the last time you were leaving Frayton, I accidentally saw the man in black in the hallway of Fantalure Bar. Coupled with the acid incident that day, I suspected you had a connection with the one in the Lloyd family who tried to kill me."Anthony smiled miserably, "So it is.""Anthony, you are indeed the only person I ever admired when I was a kid. But why do you want to kill me?"He shook his head and was still in denial, "I don't. Your family announced your death before. You don't know how sad I was. I didn't know you are alive until half a month ago, and on
Only after seeing he was faint did the man with the ghostly face take off his mask.In the moonlight, the man's dark eyes were cold and, looking at Anthony with bloodlust.Chad came up and asked, "Boss, how to deal with him?""Tie up the two and throw them in the car. As for Anthony ..."Melvin stopped speaking and his eyes narrowed. And his expression was ruthless, "Hang him up and take him to the hut prepared in advance. Lyra will be here in 10 minutes or so at the soonest. Before she comes, torture him first.""Yes."Anthony was forcibly awakened by cold water.When he woke up, he found his hands tied, hanging backwards from behind to the beam of a broken hut. His feet could touch the ground, barely to keep his weight in place with his tiptoe.This posture was very tired. His arms were be sore and unbearable. If hanging on for an hour, the arms can be painful to dislocation. The armpits will be bruised and swollen.He gave a light laugh.This kind of torture, at first glance, was t
Lyra's expression gradually froze, staring at him in disbelief.The tone was a bit gloomy."You don't even believe me?"Anthony snorted, "Silly girl, I'm kidding with you. Of course I trust you, but did you or Melvin prepare this wine? I can't trust him."Lyra showed him the red wine glass that was already empty in her hand."I drank it all, and if the wine was tampered with, it should have been me who fall first."Anthony did not speak, shook the glass of red wine in his hand and still did not drinking.Lyra was a little upset. She muttered and looked at the whole bottle of red wine next to her, "Do you want me to finish the whole bottle of red wine like you did last time? So you can believe me?" Anthony was silent.Lyra felt wronged and acted rashly to reach for the entire bottle of wine on the table.Anthony stopped her, "I believe you. Even if this bottle of wine is poison, I will drink it, because you are beautiful poison to me, and I have long been intoxicated."He smiled doting
This contentious gaze continued for several minutes.Lyra was caught in the middle and looked the two men over separately.Melvin, who was free from the effect of 023, seemed to be slightly more aggressive than Anthony, and his eyes were colder and more hostile.She was a bit speechless.They just met. She didn't know what would happen next.She coughed heavily to divert the attention of the two.And she gestured Anthony to look to the dining room, and said in a soft voice, "Anthony look, the dishes are ready. I also prepared two bottles of good red wine. We have not dunk for a long time. Let's get hammered.""Great."Anthony withdrew his gaze from the competition with Melvin and looked at Lyra with tenderness, walking with her to the dining room and taking a seat."You're so good. These dishes smell so good. I wasn't too hungry, but now I have a great appetite.""As long as you like it."Melvin remained standing in the stairs, watching their interaction.Even though Lyra had told him
As soon as Elizabeth saw Anthony bring the police officers in, she instantly sank into the sofa.She had clearly heard from her acquaintance at the police department that Anthony was leaving Frayton, so why hadn't he left yet? With Anthony here, she was afraid it would be a difficult day.The Harrington family's of bodyguards quickly got frightened after the group of police officers rushed in with electric batons.Ashley also sat on the floor being utterly depressed.However, Anthony came in and kept his eyes looking at Lyra.He walked over to Lyra and sat next to her, sitting upright and straight.Lyra subconsciously frowned, but soon withdrew her unknown emotions, and looked at Elizabeth and Ashley again."Ashley, I don't bother to continue the nonsense. In short, for the things you and the Harrington family committed, the police department should have its own judgement. And you have to pay back my money with interests. If you don't have enough money, then sell the property and mort
"So it's you! How did you get in?"Lyra elegantly played with her nails and replied lazily, "I just let my bodyguard inform the housekeeper and walk in directly from the front door." The housekeeper let her in?The old housekeeper who had been with her family for so many years had been bribed so quickly?Ashley glared at her with indignation.Lyra guessed what she was thinking and said, "It's called loss of supporters. Today is the day your family fell from power. Of course they know what to do."Ashley was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stood up from the floor, "You bitch! You've gone too far! You think the Harrington family will fall easily if you harm us in this way? You are dreaming!" "Harm you?"Lyra sneered, "That's not harm. I'm just bringing your family's dirty things out into the open. If you're innocent, you can't be afraid of these things.""You!"Ashley was furious, but Lyra was right. For the news about the Harrington Group and the things between Elizabeth and Wa
Discount?So, he was kind of begging for mercy?Lyra pursed her lips and laughed lightly. He just accepted the punishment and was quite tough. Now he was frightened. She thought he was not afraid of pain.Without speaking, she went to unbuckle the belt.Melvin tried to hide, but his arms were pressed by her. Finally he could only bury his face in the comforter again, feeling disheartened.It looked like she didn't agree to a lighter penalty...Just now he used all his strength to fight the pain of removing the rotting flesh in the wound, and now his body was weak and feeble.If he was really whipped by Twelve in the garden for two hundred times, he would faint, right?If he fainted, Lyra would certainly notice that something was wrong, and may also take the opportunity to check his injury. It had been three days, and the injury of sulfuric acid was clearly different from his injury on his back. Lyra was sagacious. It can not be hidden certainly.As he was thinking, Lyra had already un
