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

    This meant that the money didn't belong to them and Lyra will get it all back.She was cruel enough.The group of police officers who had just imagined that they could be hit by Lyra's money instantly stopped thinking about it.What a ruthless woman! They can't afford to mess with her!Originally, Elizabeth thought about the price of the fruit and wanted to ask more money from Lyra, but at the moment she completely collapsed and couldn't think about this matter any longer.It was finished. Lyra reached out lazily to rub her shoulders.Melvin noticed her movement and hurriedly stepped forward. His bony hands carefully massaged her shoulders and neck.Lyra didn't refuse, enjoying his service and turning her head to look at Anthony and Bernard."Master Callahan, Mr. Bernard, the money is paid. Can we leave now?"This was "Master Callahan", not Anthony.Bernard didn't hear Anthony talk and glanced at him subconsciously.He was found staring at Melvin who was messaging Lyra's shoulders, wi

    Melvin clutched his heart and felt suffocated.That was so mean!"You've been getting more and more unruly lately. You act at will without my orders. It sounds like you think a lot of Anthony?"His hostility was overwhelming and he coldly pushed Chad away, walking weakly forward on his own.Chad's face turned pale with fear, and he slapped his mouth twice with chagrin that he could not say something like that.He blamed himself for not having been in love with someone before, and he was also unable to comfort his boss. Hurriedly, he trotted up, continued to help Melvin and explained."I'm sorry boss. I was worried about you before I came here with Fifteen, and Master Callahan...no! It's Anthony! How can I be optimistic about him. Of course I am more optimistic about you, boss."He leaned close to Melvin's ear and continued to whisper, "Although Miss Carroll always bullies you, isn't there a saying that beating is a sign of affection and cursing is a sign of love. She treats you differ

    Ethel stared at her and stunned by her cold gaze. Uncontrollably, she was trembling and aware of a hint of danger.Seeing that Ethel was finally a little scared, she snorted lightly."Tomorrow morning, I will have you sent to the countryside residence with bodyguards to watch over you. There are former servants from our family. They will keep an eye on you day in and day out doing farm work.""Every night before sunset, you will be whipped with ten lashes, and then you will kneel in the courtyard and finish reciting a whole book of Prajnaparamita as a confession of your sins. You can rest when you have finished reading.""How do you feel about doing that every day, week in and week out? Isn't that magnanimous?"Ethel's back stiffened and her already weak face went wan little by little.She had heard of Prajnaparamita, which consisted of six hundred volumes, with a total of more than five million words. She didn't know if she could finish it in one night if she really had to read it fr

    Chad stopped the movement of his hands, raised his eyes for a moment, and received the cold and hostile warning gaze from Malcolm which scared him and his face slightly pale."No!"He was so frightened that when he swung the branch again.Ethel was in so much pain that she was twitching and was almost at her limit.Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitifully at Micah who was on the side couch and Keith, weakly pleading for help."Micah, Keith, help me ..."Micah looked cold. There was no trace of extra expression on his face for her cry for help.Keith looked at her and listened to the creepy sound. Then he chose to look away and ignored it.Facing with the indifferent brothers, Ethel felt disappointed and smiled contemptuously.Occasionally, she would muffle a few grunts of pain, but still didn't beg for mercy.Whoosh-With the final lashing, the last thick branch in Chad's hand was broken.He gasped slightly and was a little tired from it. Then he looked back at

    Claudia cried by her yelling and was afraid to look at the man in the bed.But Lyra was pulling her hair, and she couldn't escape.The sharp pain in her knees and scalp stimulated her nerves and she screamed. She was on the verge of tearing down her defenses."I'm not wrong! I was just trying to protect myself. It's all your fault Lyra. You caused this!""Reginald deserved what he got! I wouldn't be at Ethel's mercy if he hadn't insisted on giving you the inheritance and pushing me to the impasse!"She and Lyra had never gotten along. And Lyra had said before that once she took the inheritance, Claudia would be thrown out of the Lloyd Manor and she would never live well.Claudia had been pampered in the Lloyd Manor for so many years. If she was kicked out, it was equivalent to sentence her to death. She had no ability to survive alone and she was not going to survive! But it would be different if Ethel took the inheritance and she could still be Mrs. Lloyd in the future.She was not w

    Collin's face instantly turned pale and he was dumbfounded by Lyra's words.He didn't expect that Malcolm would give her all his property and shares for Rara, regardless of the honor and interest of the entire White Corp family.It was really ironic and funny."I'm sorry."In addition to these three words, he seemed to explain more, but all seemed to be useless.Lyra wiped away her tears and felt disappointed for Collin."Even if you don't do any of these things, it's your connivance that allows Ethel to be so reckless. Because you shield and hide the truth about her victimizing me, it makes me to live in exile in Frayton when I was fifteen and suffer for six years in the Freeman family.""This injury can't be offset by a sentence that you have punished her heavily and made her have no jobs for six months!""On the Crane Bay Bridge in Frayton, she teamed up with Caden and got forty killers on the black market to kill me, forcing me to jump into the cold water!""In Frayton's Fantalure

    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
