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
Lyra took the remote key fob and kept pressing it when she went to different floors of the parking facility.Finally, after twenty minutes, hearing the beep, she found her new car.Looking at the lime green spray paint, she stroked her chin and tsked twice.Although this model was relatively traditional, but it never went outdated and was a really practical type of car, not to mention this color... Sassy!She loved it!She couldn't wait to get her hands on the new car and try it out.A woman's sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind her."Oops, isn't this our fantastic Miss Carroll? Let me see what kind of car you're driving..."Stacy smiled as she came over to check on Lyra's car. And when she saw it, she pouted her lips in disdain."I thought it was some fancy car. A Volkswagen Santana? Miss Carroll is in a high rank now. Why not buy a better one to reward yourself?"Lyra didn't take offense, just smiling, "The car is just a transportation means for me. I only need it to be practi
Lyra heard the voice and immediately frowned.The moment she turned back, she met with Melvin's unfathomable eyes that were close at hand."This is the underground parking of the Angle Group. What is Mr. Freeman doing here?"Melvin's lips curled up into a smirk, "I came here to talk to Mr. Lloyd about collaboration. What? Is there a rule saying I can't show up here?"Lyra laughed at that.What kind of lame excuse was that?"The Freeman Group focuses on the real estate and construction market, which has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. So, are you here for selling houses to our artists?"She locked eyes with him, the sarcasm in her gaze bursting out, no less intimidating than him.Melvin was stung by her penetrating stare. His expression suddenly turned cold, and pressed her shoulders and pushed her backwards, so that her back was completely against the car door, and her whole body was circled in the bend of his arms."What are you doing?"Lyra's thighs were held against
A discordant voice in the distance suddenly interrupted them.And it dissipated the sexual tension between the two.Keith, with a long face, forcibly pulled the two apart before throwing a punch at Melvin's face.It was too quick for Melvin to dodge. He grunted in pain, and was forced two steps back by this punch.He tasted the rustiness and raised his hand to wipe off the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.Lyra had been guarded behind Keith. Seeing Melvin being hit, she felt a bit worried at first, but soon satisfaction was written all over her face. She almost clapped her hands and cheered.That jerk dared bully her. A punch was too merciful to him!She wanted to see him get beaten up!"I heard that Mr. Freeman has a new girlfriend already, but you're still pestering your ex-wife. That's inappropriate, right?" Keith gave a half smile, resuming his usual gentlemanly manner, as if he was not the one who just threw a punch.Melvin stared back at him, even though his face was b
His heart ached like a twinge, and the suffocating feeling in his chest was overwhelming so much that he can barely breathe.What did he need to do to win her heart back...?Lyra turned her head, brought a footstool over from beside the small sofa in the room, and sat across from him with a serious look."To give you the antidote is not to force the release of the agreement. I just thought you always got hurt lately. Because of 023, the pain will be amplified. You saved me this time and I help you to release the severe pain. It's also considered to returning the favor."Melvin stared at her steadily, not answering.Lyra went on to explain, "About the employment agreement, since it was settled last time and I still have your recorded promise in my phone, I won't mention it again."This meant that she was not as defensive as she was at the beginning?Did this mean that everything he'd done lately had brought him one step closer to her?"Aren't you afraid if you give me the antidote, you
He was sure Lyra, the little villain, can't take a single loss.He shook his head, secretly sighing that he must not mess with this little girl in the future.Collin on the other end of the phone was not aware that he was set up by Lyra and said seriously, "I heard from Keith that you recently find the evidence to catch the Harringtons. By the way, I help you check it Tomorrow, I'll let Keith fax it to your company computer."Lyra laughed in her heart.He will have time to do this "by the way"?It seemed to be premeditated, deliberately waiting for her to finish being punished before mentioning this.So this was sort of carrot and stick?Although it was a little unpleasant to think about, she thought of her promise to hit Collin.It was still not a loss!And there was no reason not to take the evidence delivered to her door.Lyra answered sweetly and complimented for Collin before finally ending the call.Because Melvin was in the hospital and it was late after Lyra finished kneeling,
Anthony froze and became serious, "I have been busy with Security Agency during the day, so I did not ask about last night's case. I really don't know, but..." He spoke with a slight pause and stared at Lyra with apologetic eyes, explaining."1"I'm sorry Lyra, I didn't stop Bernard from taking you last night because I was angry with you and caused you to suffer all night at the police department. But you have to believe that I haven't changed. I'll always be your Anthony!"In his excitement, he reached out to hold Lyra's hand."I certainly do believe you."Lyra smiled, did not move his hand back, elegantly pin down the hair, "Right, my money isin the hands of Harrington Group for too long. If I do not to get it back, I always feel upset. I need you to help me." Anthony obliged, "Of course, as long as you want to do, I will help."Lyra smiled with arched eyebrows.The two made small talk for a while longer.The meal lasted until 8 p.m.Lyra refused Anthony's ride and drove back to Sea
The doctor froze and didn't move.After Lyra identified herself, the doctor immediately checked Melvin's medical records on the computer."This patient is basically fine except that he has a pretty weak condition."The lab sheet was reprinted.The doctor handed it to her.She gently took it, scanned it carefully, and asked again, "And how about the injury on his back?""It is the ordinary concentrated sulfuric acid that caused the burns. If he uses the medicine for a period of time, he will be fine. Pay attention not to get wet, but... after recovering, it will certainly leave a scar. It will not look good."Lyra went over the labs again and they showed that Melvin's health was indeed fine.But can it really be that simple?Then why was Melvin so abnormal today?She always felt something was wrong, something strange, but she couldn't say it."Really? Don't hide it from me." She stared at the doctor cautiously and emphasized.The doctor's face was flat. It was not like he was lying, "Y
Bernard rushed to call Lyra.On the monitor, the man in ordinary uniform stood under the camera, with his back to the camera, slowly extended his right hand and gave a thumbs down gesture.After that, he left the police department, completely disappearing from all surveillance.This attitude was extremely arrogant and provocative!Bernard also checked out several other surveillance, and found only the back, or face was covered tightly by a hat and sunglasses. He was completely unable to see the face. Only the tall figure was vaguely visible.This man was not only arrogant, but also familiar with the police department's surveillance. Did the department have an inside man?Bernard looked furious, but Lyra looked smiling.This man was somewhat similar in stature to the man she met in the aisle of Fantalure Bar last night.And this action, he was deliberately mocking her.If she can't find him, her name was not Lyra Lloyd!From the surveillance room, Lyra headed straight for the door.For
As soon as he said these words, Chad received the cold light of violent anger under Melvin's eyes.He also knew that he was too anxious and said the wrong thing, and consciously slapped his face twice heavily and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Sorry boss, I was the one who got excited and didn't mean to curse you."He slapped his face hard and the corners of the mouth were broken, seeping a little blood.Although the eyes were red, the face was written with displeasure and not too convincing look.Melvin eased the pain in his body, and did not have the strength to argue with him. His voice was low and weak."I'll go back, but first to deal with Lyra's matter. You tell Brad to go back first, ask if there is a potion that can temporarily suppress S404. In addition, look for the special cream to get rid of scars."Chad was speechless, "Boss, you still think about whether the wound will leave scars. Is good look important? It's life that matters!"Melvin glared at him grimly. His t
Melvin tightened his eyebrows and glared angrily at Eleven. his dark eyes were chilling, "Did you just say Lyra went to the police department last night?" Eleven was simply speechless!It was Fifteen who called from the police department. They only said that they wanted to hide it from Melvin first, so that he could recuperate well, but the result was he caught on the spot. "Mr. Freeman, don't worry. Master Keith is in it. She'll be fine. May she just needs to do a statement, and then she'll be released."How was it possible to feel at ease?She spent last night in the police department. How cold it was inside! She couldn't sleep well at all!He turned his head and was about to go downstairs when Eleven stopped him."Mr. Freeman you can not be discharged from the hospital yet. The doctor said the fluid is not just concentrated sulfuric acid. They need to test. You have to stay in the hospital for observation!" Melvin simply ignored it.As he just walked a few steps, he suddenly the bl
She turned around. There was anger in her eyes and she glared over.The person who stopped her was Anthony.Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression was serious and deliberate, "Lyra, you can't use lynching in this matter. Since I am there, he should be brought back to Frayton police department for questioning.""He tried to hurt my face with acid. I just fought back. Is that not OK?"She sounded cool and tried to withdraw her hand.Anthony clutched her wrist, and his expression was still grim, "He hurt someone and should be sanctioned, but you hurt him again, you are the same. Don't you forget. This is a bar. Even if you let anybody out, there are a bunch of staff watching. All are human witnesses."Lyra was slightly stunned, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold smile."But I've already done it. What are you going to do?"Anthony froze for a long time before saying, "I can pretend I didn't see it and help you clean up the scene again, but you can't hit him again.
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
