Anthony was really irritated by it.He suppressed his inner frenzy and softened his tone."Lyra, I can do these too. I'm better looking than him. Wouldn't I please you more?"Lyra picked Melvin's chin again and observed his features."You are good looking, but he is handsome, not the same."Anthony's features were soft and delicate. A pair of blue eyes made him look more good-looking, more beautiful than the beauty.Melvin's eyes were dark and deep, and his features were handsome and extraordinary.When not smiling, it gave others a cold and hostile feeling.When he lowered his eyes and pretended to be innocent, there was a feeling of a big wolf in sheep's clothing, very undesirable.His face was more handsome.His thin lips were lightly gripping the shirt. His hands were bound, which was the ultimate desire.It made others feel the urge to bully him badly.Melvin heard what she said. Her voice was crispy, soft and extraordinarily pleasant to ears.He kept his hands up and his shirt i
She had known him for so long. Although he had pretended to be aggrieved a few times before, it was still the first time for her to see his crying look. Was he really sad?She sighed helplessly and softened her tone a bit, "I said it was an act, and you were serious?"Melvin did not speak, lowered his eyes, with a touch of fragile vulnerability.Yes, he was serious and sank into it.In the end, it was the reality that hurt him.Lyra had nothing to say, and only by being awake from beginning to end will she not lose her judgment.Acting was just acting. The fake can never become real. She had always been clearly distinguished.Besides, did he want her to coax him?Impossible.Besides, she couldn't say anything comforting.She turned her head and was about to leave, changing back to a cold tone, "Hurry up and sweep. I'm going to bed."However, she just took a step and her wrist was clutched by Melvin from behind.She had a tired look on her face, "Let go, I'm tired."Melvin didn't move,
Was it because boss was divorced, that he fell in love to stimulate the mind of boss?His knees sank almost instantly, and he had to kneel down on the spot, screaming in agony."Boss, I was wrong! I never dare to quietly fall in love again. Please forgive me this time ... or you punish me!""Who said anything about punishing you?"Eh?Brad's bent knee stopped midway. The posture was awkward. And his expression was obviously still puzzled, which was a little comical.Melvin's face was expressionless. His eyes were serious, "I recently encountered a similar problem, so I called you to Frayton and asked you for advice."The word "advice" was uttered. Brad had trepidation, and observed him for half a second. Seeing that he really did not mean to get angry, Brad tentatively said."My girlfriend has a good temper. She is gentle as water, but can not touch the bottom line. She will explode if I get her mad. As for making her happy well, it is nothing more than a small gift and attitude, and
Twelve glanced at Nineteen who are next to him. He was a little worried and wished to speak but stopped on a second thought: "Miss..."Lyra waved her hand lazily, "You can leave."When the two had just left, she received another call from Keith."Rara, Collin has double-checked. The family's list doesn't have a file on a man who looks like this one."Lyra pursed her lips and was lost in thought.Keith continued, "It could be that your new recruit Nineteen is lying, or it could be this person is hiding deep. In any case, you can't believe everything, and Nineteen is someone you should be careful with." "Well, don't worry, Keith. I know what to do."Hanging up the phone, she took out the sketchbook in the drawer, flipped to the page with the portrait of the man in black, and looked at it carefully for a while before continuing to work.It was close to off duty before she took Nineteen with her and set off for Fantalure Bar.Nineteen was driving and Lyra sat in the back.The atmosphere i
Shuttling around from memory, she asked uncertainly, "Are you ...Rebecca?"Rebecca Callahan, who was happy to see that she remembered her, came forward and took her arm."Lyra, you are so beautiful. I haven't seen you for so many years. Did you miss me?Anthony said you are in Frayton and I couldn't wait to come and visit you."Rebecca and Anthony were half-brother and sister. She was the seventh in the of Callahan family, and she was the same as the youngest daughter, three years younger than her, and used to love to cling to her from childhood. She had a naive character but also an arrogant little princess.She smiled and tickled the tip of Rebecca's nose, "You have grown up and is still acting like a clinger?"Rebecca softly grabbed her arm wobbling, "Lyra, you laugh at me. It's because I like you. I still do not let others touch me. This time it is rare for me to leave home. Lyra, you have to accompany me." To accompany her?This was not to find herself a little troublesome person?
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
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.
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
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
