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.

    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

    Fiona and Sheila glanced at the contents of the photocopy, and their faces went colorless. They dared not utter a word.They failed to set her up but instead she had gotten the goods on them.They were in the wrong this time!Lyra saw them both deflated and shook her head sarcastically.She thought they would have been tougher and resisted a little longer!"Go, hurry up with the smashing so we can proceed to the next step." As she finished talking, a meaningful smile played over her lips.It was almost seconds before the bodyguards quickly took action.Four of the bodyguards gathered all the servants in the garden and contained them there, while the other six were responsible for carrying out the apocalyptic destruction on the manor.Soon the whole manor was filled with sounds of cracking and smashing.The contained servants listened to the noise and cowered together, not daring to look.Fiona also listened with her heart beating crazily fast.Sheila shrank into her arms in fear, then

    Looking at Melvin's expression, Lyra guessed that he should have also found out who was behind it.So, he came over here to condemn her or what?Melvin didn't say anything, just staring at her.Instead, Fred came forward first and protested, "Miss Carroll, you're ruthless!"Though Lyra had divorced Melvin, after all, the two were her former mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Even if they had done something wrong, the punishment for them had gone too far, right?His admiration for the kind-hearted Charlotte had instantly increased a bit more.Lyra glanced at him and did not retort, merely sparing Melvin a thoughtful glance."You think so too?"Melvin frowned, about to speak, but Fiona, who heard the movement at the door, lunged over and hugged him, starting to denounce Lyra, "Son, look what this vicious bitch has done to your sister! She even smashed up the house! You must send her to jail. I want her to stay there until she dies and repent for the rest of her life!"Melvin's handsome ey

Any phone call must be monitored and reported to me quickly.""Yes." Fred gave him a hesitant glance, "...But boss, would that be a bit too harsh on the lady and Miss Freeman?

    Stacy's face froze, but then she smiled even wider.She pulled Lyra aside and whispered in her ear, "The three directors are all respected figures of Grandviz. They could easily decide whether our artists will get the main roles of this TV show. Be careful not to offend them."Lyra nodded, with little expression on her face.The two finished their private chitchat and politely turned back around.The three directors stared at Lyra with unblinking eyes, their eyes glinting with lust, which disgusted Lyra."Miss Carroll really lives up to your name. Not only are you beautiful, you're in such a good shape."Mr. Harper was the first to speak."Thank you for your compliment. You three misters are the best of the best."

    Anthony, who was on the other end of the phone, noticed that her mood was not right, smiled gently and coaxed, "Rara, don't worry. Spencer and Momo are very good. Spencer has finished his injection and didn't cry. Momo seems to be a little bit timid, but I hold her and she's quiet."Lyra looked at Momo's aggrieved expression, and her heart ached like a twinge. She endured it before saying, "Thanks.""No problem."Anthony laughed and his blue eyes looked fascinated.These bright blue eyes only glowed with a shimmer when they saw Lyra.Malcolm watched the interaction between the two.The heart abruptly had a dull pain. He suppressed the sour feeling on his nose and silently went to the side to pack suitcases.Lyra didn't pay much attention to Anthony at all and was preoccupied with the babies.In the video, the doctor had prepared the syringe, hidden the needle and coaxed Momo.But Momo was very resourceful and seemed to have guessed that she was going to be given a shot.

    High fever?Lyra gasped and her expression instantly turned grave. And then she turned her head to go out, "Buy a ticket immediately and go back to our country.""Honey, take it easy for a minute."Malcolm took her wrist and said methodically, "It's late at night over in Crana. There's no private plane that can be transferred this time, so there's not always a flight back home at night. Even if there is, the plane will take more than 20 hours to get there."Lyra gave him a cold look, "So you're just going to sit there and wait? Malcolm, you're really not worried when our babies get feverish and sick because we're not around?"She shook off his hand and walked outside the venue.Malcolm let out a long sigh and rushed to catch up, "I was wrong this time. Our babies are sick and I was in a hurry, but it is really too far for us to go back. So I have already called Anthony to let him know, and have Chad go to the medical team of White family to call in the pediatrician."He walked side by

    In the anticipation of all the guests, Nil took the microphone, "After the group's deliberation, the Lloyd's Corp of Crana won the bid for this project. Congratulations." Applause erupted from the venue.Some people felt lost. Some exclaimed, and some admired.Lyra and Malcolm were the most calm ones, because this result was not unexpected.Midst a round of applause, Lyra stood up gracefully and bow slightly to all the guests at the scene, being courteous and polite.She stepped onto the red carpet, took a step onto the stage and shook hands with Nil in front of everyone, signaling a happy collaboration.The media gathered around the two who were shaking hands and took photos of them.Lyra's expression was appropriate and her temperament was elegant and generous.At this point in the bidding process, it was basically over.The groups that were not selected had to return without any success.But to their surprise, Nil announced another piece of good news before announcing the end of th

    With Malcolm's personality, he was definitely not talking about work.Lyra raised her hand angrily and flicked him hard on the side of his head."This is a work thing. Be decent."Malcolm frowned and rubbed his painful forehead, employing a rebound tactic, "This is obviously decent. It's you who's thinking out of the box."Lyra was confused.Could it be that she was impure?She raised her hand again and flicked Malcolm's forehead again, accusing him righteously, "I am misled by you. You're making erotic statements all day long."It was always his fault. Malcolm conceded, lowered his head, listened docilely but did not open his mouth.Seeing his obedience, Lyra gave him a kiss. Remembering the half-hour delay in the opening of the tender meeting, she asked curiously, "After all, Nil Grey is the first heir of Atria and paramount and powerful. What did you tell him?"Malcolm had a mysterious expression, "Do you really want to know?"Lyra nodded her head.His handsome face had rare expres

    Meeting his gaze, Melissa raised her simple and bright eyes and opened her mouth to explain."I think I may not be suitable for the actor industry. I don't want to be an actress. I want to go back and think about how to start my life and re-elect a suitable path for myself."Keith breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, as long as it was not a withdrawal, break-up, and leaving him, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would do his best to help her."Okay, I promise you. Don't worry. I won't force you to make a choice. You are now 21 years old at heart and have absolutely no acting experience. You certainly have the opportunity to choose your career path again."He stretched out his palm towards Melissa. His eyes were gentle, and the bass was nice and pleasing to ears, "I'll take care of the crew. You're tired today. Let me take you back to rest, okay?"Melissa stared at his broad palm for a while.Keith was patient, waiting quietly for her to think about it and give a reply.Me

    Lyra and Malcolm smiled at each other and looked at each other with love in their eyes."They are all here to visit the museum. Do you want to go over and talk? Get acquainted for a few minutes?" Lyra asked with a smile.Malcolm looked across the exhibition hall, "Since Mr. Hoare is also enjoying with his girlfriend, he must not want us to disturb them. Or should we wait until they finish browsing that exhibition area and then go over?"Lyra nodded her head in agreement.She didn't like socializing, let alone interrupting their sweet time because of it.She thought Mr. Hoare and Anne didn't like it as well, so it was better not to disturb them.A brief interlude did not stop the two from visiting the Great Museum.Lyra and Malcolm waited for Paul Hoare and Anne in front of them to finish each time before moving on to the next show.Strolling around, this was the largest museum exhibition in Atria, and the afternoon of fun passed quickly.By the time the two emerged from the museum, th

    Would be able to have sex?Malcolm's dark eyes glowed with excitement.As long as they could have sex, anything was fine.It was just crying in front of his wife. There was nothing to be ashamed of!He bit his lower lip, forced his eyes redden, looked back at her and admitted being defeated softly."Honey, I'm sorry. Next time I will never make a fool of myself. Don't beat me. My ass is swollen."Lyra lowered her eyes and looked at the wound behind him.The skin was indeed swollen and red with the water droplets.She admired her masterpiece," Mel, your butt looks even better. It's called the quick butt augmentation method. Top quality and excellent service." Malcolm was speechless.He suppressed the evil intent in his heart and asked, "I've given in. Shouldn't you keep your promise and let's do it?"Lyra put down the bath brush and nodded.The moment the weapon wasn't there, her wrist was clutched by Malcolm and pulled under the shower.The aggressive could no longer be concealed."Ra

    Lyra hummed twice with arrogance, "Then we'll see."They were looking at each other with a strong desire to conquer.Crana was a long way from Atria, more than 20 hours by plane.With Malcolm's company, Lyra wasn't lonely at all on this trip.The two leaned over the plane window and watched the first rays of sunlight.And they watched the mountains with clouds stacked up.And they also saw the extremely beautiful sunset glow.Lyra pointed to the clouds in the sky that was flushed with purple and red, playfully smiling and teasing Malcolm."Do you like that color? When we get off the plane and check into the hotel, I'll give you a coat of fuchsia on your skin, okay?"Malcolm wrapped his arm around her waist, "It must hurt. You sound cruel but you definitely can't do that to me."Lyra tilted her head and placed a shallow kiss on his chin to represent her answer.Indeed, she couldn't be that cruel.Although it was Malcolm's disobedience that led to the exotic honeymoon this time, what wa

    Lyra did not need to think and immediately knew which mysterious gentleman the stewardess was talking about.She sighed helplessly.She didn't expect a good low-key trip to be made so grand by Malcolm."First class is not necessary. Thanks for that gentleman's kindness. I purchased business class after all. I only sit in my own seat." She shook the plane ticket in her hand to the stewardess, while walking towards the cabin.The stewardess looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Lyra had already walked away.She had no choice but to call and report the matter to the mysterious gentleman.Lyra found the seat she had purchased in the empty cabin.She stayed up late last night revising the project, and had sex with Malcolm most of the night, so she could barely sleep.She was used to catching up on sleep on the plane. As she just sat down in her seat, she asked for a small blanket from the stewardess.She put her knees up, turned her phone off, and lie down to fall asleep in s
