Melvin's voice was hoarse and he didn't want to talk, so he rolled over and went back to sleep.He arrived last night just in time to hear Lyra yelling, and watched her jump into the river.The feeling of losing control that was driving him crazy made him felt suffocated.He just thought of it and it made his heart twinge unbearably.He would never let this happen again!Chad saw that he was ignoring himself and knew that he was simply not listening.He had worked for Melvin for so many years. And it was the first time for him to see Melvin was so desperate for her."Boss, take a good rest. Call me if something happens. Don't hold yourself up."Chad sighed helplessly, poured him a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside table. Then he turned around, went out and closed the door for him. Melvin's body was still burning. His brain was already groggy, and he soon fell asleep again.The villa was silent and dark late at night.Chad made his way downstairs to the basement. There was
Lyra watched him as she put on her slippers.Then she took off her windbreaker jacket and handed it to him.Melvin froze for a second. His long curly eyelashes were slightly drooping.He dutifully took the jacket Lyra handed to him and helped her hang it on the coat rack.He never took the initiative to say a word, which was completely unlike his usual deliberate attentiveness.Lyra's face grew sullen.Melvin, who was unaware of it, turned his head to glance at the clock on the living room's wall.It was almost noon.He consciously went to the kitchen to cook.Lyra was sitting on the sofa in a dominant way. Her red lips were slightly raised. she opened her mouth, and what she said was with indifferent tone that was not allow others to put in a word."Come here."Melvin's broad back stiffened and he dutifully twisted around to stand at her heels.She didn't look up, and her expression was a little cold, "I remember you said yourself that you won't let me look up."Melvin stood still an
Before Ashley's mother, Elizabeth Scott, came downstairs leisurely, Lyra and her group had entered the garden, and there were so many people that they filled the entire courtyard to capacity. The bodyguards at the door wanted to stop them, but they looked small and helpless under the momentum of this large group of people, and could not resist.Lyra had someone bring in a chair from the garden and sat casually and lazily in the middle of the garden.Melvin went to the Harrington family's backyard to pick some oranges from the tree and stood by to peel them for her quietly.As soon as Elizabeth came out of the villa, she was dumbfounded to see the situation.But she had been at the helm of the Harrington Group for many years, her ability to stay composed and sophisticated was excellent."Guys this is..."Before she finished her words, she suddenly noticed the orange in Melvin's hand and her face was livid furiously, "Oh, Melvin! This is the Harrington family's wealthy fruit. You can't
Memories of shame were evoked.She glared at Lyra, and her features were grim with hatred."How do I know where the person are? Even if I know, I won't tell you! I'm still waiting for the person to get you killed!""No?"Lyra's voice was softer, but her eyes were cold."Then how do we start?"She thought for a moment. The dagger left Ashley's chin and slowly moved to her right shoulder, "The day my car exploded and the pieces of it accidentally cut my shoulder. That's where to start." Ashley's face was colorless with fear and her eyes were terrified as she shook her head desperately, "No! This has nothing to do with me! It's obviously your own carelessness ... ah!" A miserable scream pierced the sky.Lyra's hands were up and down, cold-blooded and ruthless.Ashley was shivering with pain, breaking into cold sweat. The blood from her shoulder was gurgling and oozing, and was staining her white dress.She glared reluctantly at Lyra, "Wait for me! You bitch! I won't let you go!""Still h
It was an order.There was no room for negotiation or bargaining.Did she want to draw a line in the sand with him so badly that she refused to accept him again, no matter how hard he tried?So she was really determined to be a stranger to him for the rest of her life?Melvin's lowered eyelashes trembled lightly, and his dark eyes gradually renewed a layer of gloomy mist.The tyranny and hostility under the eyes had long disappeared.He felt like his heart was being rubbed so hard that it hurt.The pale and handsome face can't hide his vulnerability.Lyra noticed his expression.But the coldness on her face didn't change at all, and the hand that handed the document was raised.Melvin held his breath. His fingertips trembled lightly as he took the document, feeling incomparably complicated.Lyra was turning around to get a pen from the coffee table when she heard a "hissing" sound behind her. Melvin's dark eyes were cold and stern, and once again he did not hesitate to tear the docume
Police department?It came pretty quickly.Lyra did not have the slightest surprise and consciously stretched out her small and tender hands, smiling with arched eyebrows, "Yes, then let's go."It was the first time for Bernard to see a woman who was so proactive and calm when she was arrested.Especially her smile, it was calm and but compelling.He had seen Ashley's injury photos. Her body was bloody so the abuser must have used the professional and cruel means.He could hardly imagine that it would be the simple and naive-looking girl in front of him, and could not help but be more cautious about the matter. He went forward to prepare to put electronic handcuffs on Lyra.Before he could do it, Bernard's hands were violently pressed.Melvin was washing dishes and came out of the villa when he heard the commotion and saw the scene as soon as he arrived.He sulked and looked straight at Bernard, "These things have nothing to do with her. I did them. If you want to take custody of her,
Bernard's face didn't look good. It was clearly that he was just being looked down upon."And who are you? I work in the police department. It's not your turn to talk. Take her away!"He waved his hand, and all the police in the room swarmed over, with the gesture of having to take Lyra away immediately.Melvin raged.Before he could speak, a wicked but thick man's voice suddenly came from outside the door."Mr. Bernard is so authoritative."Bernard and all the police officers heard this voice and sweated immediately. Bernard stood up and his body was stiff.Lyra instantly lowered her head.So close.This Mr. who came at a good time.Melvin gradually recovered from the tyrannical face and sat back in silence.As soon as he heard the voice, he knew who was coming, and his fists, under the handcuffs, were unconsciously clenched tighter.Lyra was an appearance-obsessed person. Good looking was always the priority even when she chose bodyguards.He remembered that this man was born very g
At that time, all eyes were on Melvin.Melvin did not panic at all, smiling and joking, "Nothing, sighing Mr. Bernard's ass-kissing skill is good."This was meant to imply that Bernard deliberately bragged about him, and more than a little disdain for Anthony.The two looked at each other, and both felt the obvious hostility from the bottom of each other's eyes. Soon the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, back and forth.The atmosphere was dramatically grim all around.The others did not dare to utter a word.In the midst of this extremely solemn atmosphere, it was Lyra who tapped on the table and reminded, "Get to the point. My time is valuable."The two men calmed down and consciously returned their attention to the subject.Anthony re-scanned the information and looked at Elizabeth and Ashley "Mrs. Scott, since you accuse Lyra of being the ringleader, you should show reasonable evidence. If not, then I can let them go." Elizabeth bit her lower lip.Yesterday, before leavin
In the garden, the guests' murmurs were louder, because what Lyra had said had a lot of information!In response to all the questions, Lyra glanced at Collin who was on the stage and said seriously."Collin, this is a family matter. If you don't want the Lloyd Group's stock to plummet tomorrow, or the Lloyd family to be in the headlines tomorrow with all sorts of tidbits, clear the scene immediately and do as I say!"Under the spotlight, her starry eyes stared at Collin with coolness.The guests and media on the scene got more excited, and their discussion intensified.Keith rose first to help control the scene. With his presence, the media and journalists made a fool of themselves and soon left, and the guests also left one after another under Micah's reassurance. Harvey, who was holding the documents on the stage, looked confused and looked around in confusion.Malcolm noticed that and winked at Chad and Fifteen. Both of whom quickly took the stage and directly took Harvey away from
When they saw Micah come out, everyone gathered around.Keith asked nervously, "Micah, how's it going?"Micah lowered his head and did not say a word. His face looked flat, so that they couldn't guess whether the test result was good or bad.Seeing this expression on his face, everyone was heart-wrenching.Lyra said resignedly, "Micah, just say it. Any outcome won't be much worse than now. I can take it."Micah remained silent and walked up to Lyra. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and hugged her tightly.His ever-cold and arrogant face had a rare smile, "Rara, my most precious sister. You're the Lloyd family's most honored daughter!" Once he said these words, everyone instantly fell relieved.Only Malcolm, who looked sullen, separated the two from each other in an embrace and took back his petite fiancee with him arms. "You're adults. Pay attention to the intimacy. Don't just hug like that.""You!" Lyra helplessly gazed at the jealous Malcolm. Her small hand quietly reached i
Seeing that it was Micah at the door, Lyra and Malcolm looked at each other. Obviously, neither of them didn't expect that it would be him. Micah's body was too wet.He was reluctant to go in and wet the carpet. So he was still standing by the door, and his usually cool eyes locked on Lyra.Lyra didn't quite understand. Remembering what happened at the Lloyd family the other day, she asked icily, "Why do you come over here without an umbrella? Is it an emergency?"Micah adjusted his breathing before saying, "Rara, I haven't come to you for the past few days because I was being watched. Tomorrow is the return party, so I have to get rid of the surveillance and sneak over."Lyra's heart softened for a moment and she turned her head to Malcolm, "Get Micah a thick bath towel and make some ginger tea.""OK."With a thick bath towel, Micah wrung the water from his body until it was half dry before entering the living room.Malcolm went to make ginger tea, and Lyra sat on the couch."Micah,
Ethel's face froze.After a while, she could only reluctantly lower her head, "Yes.""Good girl! That's what the daughter of Lloyd family is supposed to be." Keith smiled and stroked her head.After stroking her head perfunctorily, he took the lead and turned his head away, saying resentfully, "Change your clothes back. Your face is injured. You should not be able to choose today. We can come here another day."...Lyra made her way out of the shopping district.It wasn't until she got into the car that she opened her bag again and took out a small note.This was what Keith forced into her right hand when he was helping her just now.Unfolding the note, it contained only one sentence.[Give me some time.]Lyra's brows furrowed as she gazed silently at the nice handwriting.Why should he be given time?Did he find something and was he quietly investigating?As she was thinking about it, her phone rang and it was Malcolm's calling.Once the phone was connected, his voice sounded slightl
In front of the dress rack, Ethel was excited to show Lyra the dresses she had chosen."Lyra, they all look good to me. Which one do you think suits me better?"Lyra smiled, "You have to try them on before you know if they fit.""You're right." Ethel immediately looked to the sales, "Send those to the changing room. I want to try them on.""Okay." The sales immediately took the clothes Ethel had carefully picked out and went over to the changing room.Once the sales left, Ethel took Lyra's arm once again and smiled innocently, "To put on the formal dress is complicated. It's inconvenient for me to put it on alone. Lyra, can you go in with me and help me faster the buckle?"Lyra didn't say a word, didn't explicitly agree, and didn't refuse either.Ethel made the decision for Lyra and took her into the changing room.When undressing in front of Lyra, Ethel did not shy away as if the two were really intimate sister for many years.Lyra leaned against the wall and looked at her coldly, "Y
It had been a long time since she had not been so cold to him.Lyra didn't say anything.Because of this incident, she still felt her heart palpitating.If Keira hadn't told her this in time, if she hadn't let the driver run a red light all the way back to the hall furiously, and if the eighty times of whipping really happened, she did not dare to imagine how Malcolm would be injured.The last time when Travis was punished, she still remembered it to this day.As long as she arrived there a little late and Malcolm got two lashes, she could have been heartbroken. But why did he not care about himself?He had forgotten the promise he made to her before so quickly?If she didn't really teach him a good lesson, he would have this concealed injury thing happen again!She mulled it over seriously, took his hand, and went all the way upstairs.Malcolm felt the chill and followed her into the room without a word."Just stand here."She pointed to the carpet at the end of the bed.Although he
At the door, there was a gentle smile on Lyra's delicate face. Her chest was rising and falling incessantly, which was caused by a violent gasp after a wild running.The old White froze and didn't say anything.Albert immediately reacted and went around to the old White and pleaded, "Dad, Miss Lyra is involved in this matter. Please don't leave first. We can listen to what she has to say first. Maybe there is something that we don't know?"Lyra smiled with curved eyebrows. Her face was extremely pleasing to the elders.The old White stared at her and agreed.Malcolm, who was still kneeling on one knee in the middle of the hall, actually had no confidence to be able to endure the punishment.All his attention was focused on his back. He was concentrating on waiting to the pain, so he didn't even hear Lyra's voice at the door.He had been waiting for a while. What fell on his back was not the harsh and vicious whip of the family rule, the shirt and suit that he had just taken off and re
"Okay, got it."Malcolm's tone sounded calm. What should come always had to come. But if Lyra knew it, she would probably feel unhappy for a while...Thinking about this, he immediately instructed Chad, "Call Keira over and have her accompany Rara on her pregnancy test. Don't say anything more to Rara.""Yes."Chad immediately took out his phone and messaged Keira.Within two minutes, Keira came up from the garage.She was Chad's little follower. Chad was busy with various investigations these days. Keira had to follow all the way every time, and then obediently wait in the car for him.Once Keira arrived, Malcolm looked serious and instructed her in a serious manner, "If Rara asks later, tell her that White Corp had an urgent business and I need to go the office." "Oh, okay."After the arrangement, Malcolm immediately left with Chad.The two of them returned to the White Manor in a short time.Malcolm lowered his head and quietly thought about something the whole way.When he reached
Lyra's eyes instantly went cold.She smiled sarcastically as she remembered what happened yesterday at the Lloyd Manor."Even you don't believe this test, my brothers who have loved me for more than twenty years believe it. It's really ridiculous to think about it.""As for your advice about having Micah come here ....," the sarcasm of her tone intensified, "he is the first to believe it when he saw the report with the president's signature yesterday." Now throughout the Lloyds, she trusted no one.Irene was secretly released and went to her opening ceremony. Before she left, she yelled at her and taunted, "The one in your family has been pretending to be an innocent sheep around you for so long. I'm really looking forward to the day when you see his true face!""It must be hard to be betrayed by the one you love so much! Lyra Lloyd! I'm waiting for the day when you know the truth and fall apart!"Previously, she thought that Irene was slandering Malcolm.Now when she thought about it
