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
"Okay, let's go."She turned around and was about to leave with Jalen when Anthony called her."Lyra, do you need me to come with you?"Lyra didn't even think about it, "No, you should have your own business in Frayton. I'll leave first."She just walked two steps forwards and then remembered that she still had Anthony's coat on, so she took the initiative to take it off and turned back to him.Anthony did not pick up, and his eyes were gentle, "It's cool. Take it."Lyra handed it to the man behind him, who looked at Anthony and shook his head in fear, not daring to take it.Being a little annoyed, she hung the coat directly on a flower bed in front of the restaurant, and then, without looking back, followed Jalen to leave.Anthony looked at the direction she had disappeared, and then at the coat she had casually placed on the flower bed. His eyebrows tightened and he lowered his eyes.Seeming to think of something, his expression became more and more gloomy, and he ordered his men, "
The two men quickly went out.While heading to the suburbs, Melvin was so tired that he wanted to take a nap, but fell asleep unexpectedly.He did not sleep soundly and had a very strange dream.In the dream, he was in a hut that was empty and simple.Boom--Suddenly there was a deafening gunshot from outside the door.He had a sharp pain in his heart and gazed down to find himself pierced by a bullet at his heart.The blood instantly stained his whole body.The pain went down the heart and spread to all the limbs.He turned back in shock.In the dim light, Lyra was standing by the door, pointing the gun in her hand coldly at him.The face was deadly cold. The pair of starry eyes was without a trace of temperature, cruel and cold-blooded.For, why...He was red-eyed and wanted to get closer to her to see and ask for clarification.He just walked two steps forward, and his vision suddenly fainted. What he saw in front of him was drenched by the scarlet blood, and finally he could not e
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
