Malcolm was going to be pissed off to the point of angina attack.Restraint!He wanted to, but Lyra wouldn't give him the chance.He inhaled deeply and held back his anger, not wanting to get angry in front of Lyra.But Chad, as if unafraid to die, still clapped his hands in the aisle over and over again, relentlessly and very rhythmically repeating the cryptic phrases.If the fool was not still needed for the mission, he would immediately kick him out and send him to dig coal.Malcolm put up with it!Lyra was still sitting on him, excited to help him activate his blood.He brought his phone as if nothing had happened and sent a message to Chad, [clap once, deduct a thousand. Go to the financial settlement, and then now immediately get out from my villa !]The sound at the door soon died down.Malcolm's phone received a message alert, and when he looked at it, he saw that Chad had sent him a dozen messages.: (=ІДІ=)!:(T_T)It was all about crying, collapsing, and begging for mercy e
Lyra was thinking about it when a black Lamborghini came around the fountain and stopped at the entrance.A bodyguard on the front passenger seat was the first to get out of the car and helped open the door.A woman who came down from the car, wearing a mature and dignified white dress. She was tall and well-dressed.It was Kathleen.In addition to the name of Mr. Collin's wife, she was also known as the Most Charming Stewardess of the National Aviation Administration in Crana."Kathleen, what brings you here?" Lyra greeted her politely and thoughtfully."Collin went back to the Bureau of National Affairs to deal with things. I had nothing to do, so I came over to give you a hand."Seeing Lyra, she first smiled warmly and sisterly pulled Lyra's wrist, then quickly noticed the building and subconsciously looked at the time."Why don't guests come here at this hour? Who do this?"Kathleen reacted immediately.Because if no business tycoons who were invited came here, this matter will be
Those who came were all the invitees on the list.Kellie cleared her throat with a sharp eye and shouted, "Welcome Mr. Nelson from Hyatti Group, Miss McCarty from Ingenuo Entertainment, Miss Barry from Solsora, Mr. Everett from Heoufung Media ... to the Angle Group!"Businessmen valued interests most. Those who had various excuses not to come, although no one knew who asked them to do so, were scrambling to the scene at the fastest speed.The invitees all arrived in the last ten minutes, and Kathleen rushed to help Lyra.Claudia's face was livid with anger. Because too many people arrived, the door was surrounded by them with no open space.She sat in a chair, was drowned in the crowd and was squeezed into a corner.If it wasn't for the bodyguard holding her up, she would have almost fallen.Everyone was so busy being attentive to Lyra that no one cared about her.Kathleen gave her a cold look, "There are too many guests. I'm afraid Lyra and I can't take care of you. It feels bad to b
Lyra pricked up her little ears, "I can't tell. Collin is so fierce. Is he usually a meek little sheep in front of you?"Kathleen coughed twice to curb her embarrassment and nodded her head a little bit.Lyra laughed.Gosh, she can't even imagine how Kathleen was coaching Collin. It must be so much fun!"Kathleen, what are some of your best ideas? Tell me about it?"Kathleen quietly glanced at Malcolm, who was still entertaining, "You can't say I said that."Lyra was busy nodding her head.Kathleen was close to her ear and whispered, "If he is wrong in the future, you have to let him kneel on keyboard, durian and so on. You have to educate him well know, you do so... and then that ... " Lyra listened and frowned, "That would be a bit harsh?"Just kneeling on the floor had made she feel painful enough. She did not dare to imagine durian and other things at all ..."If a woman is not ruthless, her position is not stable!"Lyra silently nodded her head, feeling very reasonable. And she b
Did they see it right?Malcolm will personally peel oranges, and also feed ...Was this gentle man in the video really the coldest and most ruthless person in charge of their White Corp?Even Chad froze, forgetting that he was even reporting data.And in front of the screen, the man, who was watched by the people at the conference room, did not notice the slightest impropriety.Every time the orange was fed off screen, his always cool eyes will take on a touch of doting.These two really had no qualms about showing their love.Noticing that Chad's voice had stopped, Malcolm wrinkled his brows in displeasure and resumed his icy scowl, "Go on.""Oh, yes yes!"Because of this interlude, Chad looked again at the information book in his hand.Suddenly it was confusing.Damn, he was shocked by the behavior of these two people. Which line did he read?With a serious face, Malcolm reminded seriously: "profit/loss ratio of the Rossi Project.""Oh yes, the profit/loss ratio ..."Chad quickly fo
She was defiant and squeezed two tears out of her eyes in the process.It was just acting and she could do that too."How dare you deny it! You just called me by my name. You yelled at me and tried to force me!"Malcolm was rendered speechless by her accusations.He was really in the wrong.He almost lost his life several times, and he was able to pursue back his ex-wife with great difficulty. How could he yell at her?He had to spoil her more.It was indeed his failure to control his emotions. Lyra, in his eyes, was different with the others. He had to be delicate and gentle, warm and soft, so she will continue to like him.He immediately corrected his attitude, straightened his back, and squatted in a standard military stance."I was wrong."Lyra wiped away her tears and ignored him, getting up and going upstairs. She was ready to pack up and head out to Lloyd's Parlor.Malcolm followed her silently and lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.Because she had to go out
The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became very serious, which was a bit appalling, and the servants who were standing around waiting for orders were scared back. The Collin couple looked up at the same time and glared at Claudia.Malcolm wrinkled his eyebrows and looked extraordinarily gloomy under his ghostly face.Claudia was also made to feel nervous by them, and she gave a condescending grunt, forcing herself to take the control."What are you looking at me for? I'm telling the truth."She was going to say it to Malcolm and show him that Lyra was an unclean bitch!Reginald was a little upset and coughed lightly twice, "Dinner's ready. Why are you mentioning this? Shut up and eat your food."Claudia was still very sensible, and her purpose had been achieved anyway.The Collin couple and Malcolm's eyes fell back on Lyra, who was on the sidelines.She was eating quietly, with no extra expression on her face, as if she hadn't heard what Claudia had just said.This was not li
Reginald tapped him on the shoulder in relief.It was not that he was not good to his daughter, but he was controlled by Lyra's mother.Lyra and her mother's character were very similar, the same arrogant and frivolous.He did not want his daughter to continue to follow her mother's old path in the future. He hoped that his daughter can be good and smart. If someone could control her, she would put herself in danger, and can spend their lives in peace and quiet.After coming out of the study, Malcolm's eyes deepened as he pondered the matter.Lyra was standing in the hallway waiting for him and noticed that he didn't look quite right, "What did dad say to you? Why do you look so preoccupied when you come out?"Malcolm retracted his thoughts and took her hand."Nothing, just let me take good care of you in the future. Let's go. It's getting late."The two held hands and got into the car.In the car, Lyra looked at his lips which were pale. He did not always look good, so she was a litt
In a tense atmosphere, the doctor finally spoke up."Miss Lloyd's progesterone is elevated again. Has she been emotionally unstable lately? Are you often angry or sad and depressed?"Lyra bowed her head and didn't answer.There should be no hiding in front of the doctor.Malcolm held Lyra's hand tightly and answered for her, "Yes, there has been some unhappiness in the family lately. Her mood has not been stable and she doesn't seem to be able to control her emotions much lately. Last night it was the most obvious, because I wouldn't let her eat orange and she bit me."When he said these, his tone was low as if he was a little sad."You're mad about not eating orange?" The doctor laughed.Lyra hurriedly explained, "Because I have always bad appetite and vomit gastric acid sometimes. I feel my mouth bitter. Finally I can have my favorite fruit, but he controls me! Can't even eat one more! It makes me very aggrieved!"The more she said, the tighter her eyebrows wrinkled. Finally, she si
Countryside.Ethel had a splitting headache and woke up from her daze.In this coma, she had a long dream in which Reginald was not yet in a wheelchair and was still young.He let her ride on his shoulders and took her out to the amusement park, telling everyone in no uncertain terms that Ethel was Reginald's youngest and most beloved daughter. They had a great time and her dreams were all about laughter.But...Her vision gradually cleared and what came into view was the beams of a simple house in the countryside with a dim lamp over it.No Reginald, no amusement park, there was just endless torture ahead.Her dream was shattered and she was completely awake.Reginald would never wake up. She made Claudia push him down, and even if he lived, there was no way he would want to disclose her identity.After all, it was a dream.She laughed, which was a mocking for herself.Cerys was sitting right next to her, leisurely crossing his legs and having snacks again."You're awake? With the do
Collin had a rare and different expression. Turning his head to look at him, he did not make a sound, seemingly with a silent question in his eyes.Thinking of the warn Malcolm had just sent him in a message, Chad continued, "Lyra can discriminate between love and hate. Ethel has hurt her many times. The punishment is what Ethel deserves. You shouldn't come here to plead for mercy."A plea for mercy?Collin wrinkled his brows, "She doesn't hurt Ethel's life. It's good enough. I won't beg for mercy. Ethel deserves the punishment."Standing in the cold rain all night, his voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth.Chad was silent, and seeing that he was thinking straight this time, he went on to say."Ethel was sent to the countryside to work as a farmer. After the labors, she'll receive ten lashes and then recite the Buddhist Scriptures on her knees all night. She can't rest until she finishes reading them. That book is perfect for confession of sins. Mr. Collin, what do you t
Collin was here?The atmosphere in the bedroom became serious almost instantly.Lyra hardly had to think about it, "Just tell him I'm asleep. I don't have time to see him, and I don't want to see him. Tell him not to come here again.""Yes."Eleven left quickly.Noticing that Lyra was in a bad mood, Malcolm hurriedly took her into his arms, kissed her, and soothed her.Not waiting for the kiss to finish, Eleven came and knocked on the door again. The sound was more anxious than last time."Miss, I have conveyed your message, but Mr. Collin still won't go. He's standing outside the gate in the rain. If you don't see him, he will probably stay wet all night."Eleven's tone sounded helpless.Malcolm looked at the non-stop heavy rain out the window, and said, "Why not see him? This rain is so cold. If he's really wet all night, it's estimated he'll have a fever and cold tomorrow." Lyra didn't say anything.After a long silence, she said, "Want to use this way to force me to feel sorry for
Fifty times of lashing and a slap from Chad. A night in the basement, and an hour's walk up the hill when she was hungry. Ethel thought for a moment that she simply couldn't resist.But the truth was that people had unlimited potential when they wanted to live.She was supervised by Cerys with a very heavy hoe and spent the whole morning digging seed pits in the field.Her body was overloaded with the exhausted feeling, but she actually got through it all and didn't faint.When it was the lunch time, she never thought that she would be like a hungry tiger pouncing on her food one day, completely disregarding her image.The rough buns in her mouth were even better than those delicacies of every kind!However, Cerys did not allow her to eat much at all. After three big buns, she took away all the dishes in front of her and told her to go to the pig pen and feed the pigs.Ethel was an illegitimate daughter, but Reginald and Collin had always been very good to her. She grew up in a life o
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
