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
Lyra gritted her teeth. She didn't intend to reduce speed, but to speed up and dash forward, like she was determined to die with them together. The two black cars in front of her saw her rushing straight ahead and were startled.In the last two seconds before the impending collision, the two black cars moved backwards simultaneously by half a meter.The gap between the two cars was just wide enough for the Santana to squeeze through.No sooner had she breathed a sigh of relief than the two black cars quickly chased after her again.Lyra tried to circle with them, but the Santana was simply no match for the two black cars in terms of speed, not to mention escaping from them.She bit her lip, but her mind was extraordinarily calm.Through the rearview mirror, she could see vaguely the number of people in the black cars.Together with the driver, each black car and five people.A total of ten people, all seemed to be sturdy men.If she was gonna fight it in a hard way, she would certainl
There must be more to her history than that.As Melvin was lost in his thoughts, Fred had taken a taxi to the scene. Seeing the fainted men scattered here and there on the ground, he heaved a long sigh of relief. The boss was really tough!Melvin glanced at him, "Just in time, pack up all these people and bring them back. Find out who is behind it.""Copy that." Fred nodded."Also, send someone to investigate Lyra's background. I want details.""Yes, boss."...It was late when Lyra returned to the villa.Keith was sitting on the couch waiting for her.She told him what had happened tonight in details. Keith was angry and immediately sent someone to investigate it as well.On the way back, Lyra had thought the matter over.In addition to the person of the Lloyd family who tried to harm her, she did not have a feud with others. But if that person had known her whereabouts, it wouldn't have been as simple as a few gangsters coming to assault her and make a video about it.Therefore, thi
Stacy was even more shocked beyond words.Who the hell was this Lyra Carroll?Well done Stacy! Just as she had finished saying that Lyra was doomed...Lyra knew Cody Carver? But Stacy had read her profile. How could someone who grew up in an orphanage know Cody Carver?Thinking it might not be that simple, Stacy quietly backed away from the scene and dialed a phone number.And as the crowd looked at Lyra, their eyes filled with admiration.Cody, the center of attention, was oblivious to the stares of the crowd.Squatting next to Lyra and kneading her legs, Cody looked up at Lyra, his eyes sparkling, smiling like a puppy dog."It's been a long time. Lyra, you're getting more and more beautiful. A beautiful woman can't be angry with a kid like me, or you'll become ugly!"Lyra's long finger poked him at his forehead, red lips approaching his ear. She whispered, "Knock it off. From now on, be a good boy and stay in the crew for the filming. If you made troubles again I'll tell your grandp
Fortunately, she was the only one in the restroom, but there was no guarantee that no one would come in later.She tried to walk past Melvin to open the door, but her wrist was clutched by the man who had already approached near her."What are you afraid of?"With a half-smile, he continued, "I told you I wanted to talk to you, and after letting you slip away last night, I won't give you another chance to escape today."What was there to talk about?Everything going on between him and her was plain and simple.She shook off his hand and rubbed her wrist, "What do I have to be afraid of? I just find it unbelievable that the famous Mr. Freeman would enter the ladies' room to intercept someone." Melvin's deep-set eyes looked at her, and he lit another cigarette.Lyra was choked by the pungent smell of tobacco and furrowed her brow in disgust.The lingering smoke added a bit of inscrutability to his look, and he was expressionless as he finally began to ask questions."Who was the man you
The more she said, the weaker her voice became, but the stronger the hatred in her eyes. However, seemed to have no courage to open that door to confirm it. "Just come in and see for yourself."Lyra shrugged unconcernedly, jerked the door fully open and pointed to where Melvin had just been standing, "Man, right there!"Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.Following the direction where Lyra was pointing to, she found no one there apart from the wall."Is this a prank?"She glared at Lyra with malice in her eyes.Lyra also froze.The man was standing right there just now. Did he have some superpowers that she was unaware of?Charlotte was observing Lyra's expression. She still felt it suspicious, so she shoved Lyra aside in anger, pushing open every door of each cubicle to take a closer look.Lyra was standing right behind her, also looking at where Melvin was hiding.After checking all the cubicles, their eyes coincidentally fell on the last cubicle that was not completely closed.Charlo
Fred didn't say anything, but the implication in his eyes was unmistakable.If it were not for the special circumstances, he would never have suspected Charlotte. But that day he had just spoken to Charlotte about his boss's visit to Lyra at the Angle Group underground parking, and later that night Lyra was sieged on the road.It was just too coincidental.It's hard to say that Charlotte didn't have anything to do with it.Charlotte looked hurt and said painfully, "Fred, I always considered you as my best friend, but I never thought you would suspect me? How could I have sent someone to harm Lyra? I didn't even know which route she would drive."Fred was instantly convinced by her."I believe you are a kind person and you surely haven't done this, but did you tell anyone else about it?"Charlotte paused.Since Fred already suspected her, if she didn't give him some useful information, he would probably go check her recent calls. By then, the image she worked so hard to build in front
Chad raised his eyes insensibly and found a pair of large, blood-stained, but bony palms clutching his wrist. It was Melvin who woke up.Not only that, his strength was also restored because of the injection of 023 antidote.He slept in the recliner and looked sideways at Chad. His thin and bloodied lips were making a soft smile."I'm not so easy to die yet. What's your hurry?""Boss!"Surprise flashed in Chad's eyes, then he continued to cry, "You scared the shit out of me! I thought you'd really fucking died!" Brad was young and had just been terrified.The two men bawled in front of Melvin without regard to their images. They cried for a while and then began to laugh. While laughing, the tears were still streaming down. Their expressions were very comical. Melvin gently patted Chad's shoulder and reassured him, "I was just so tired that my heart and pulse only stopped temporarily with the influence of the S404 virus. But I could actually hear everything you said." "You can hear me!
He told Brad to rush back to the base to find Doctor Y, but he hadn't returned yet.But he knew his body well. He should ... not last until Lyra returned from dinner.Did he really want to die like this?He was so reluctant, but he could do nothing about it.Now he did not even have the strength to write a farewell letter.And Lyra seemed to hug him just now for the first time since the divorce ...No, she didn't. She was just touching his head.Anthony was right. She was, after all, treating him like a pet...She already... didn't love him anymore.As he thought about it, he gradually lost his consciousness, and his vision became uncontrollably obscure."Lyra...""I give you my life, and you give me back my love, OK ...?"He closed his eyes in resignation with his hands hanging down helplessly. His demeanor was serene.It was silent all around.In addition to the rustle of the wind blowing the curtains, there was only the sound of the blood from his fingers streaming down drop by dro
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
