In the bedroom, the dim table lamp reflected a charming scene.Lyra struggled to find her senses, caught an chance, deftly climbed over her upper body and placed her elbows against his collarbone, forbidding him to come any closer. Her chest heaved and panted from the punishment he had just inflicted.Malcolm received the cold light of her stare. He frowned and his eyes were red. There was crystal light in his dark eyes, being fairly aggrieved, "Rara, are you trying to suffocate me?" It was the first time for Lyra to see his poor and helpless expression to the extreme. Her heart missed a beat."Rara ..."In a few seconds, Lyra lost to his excellent acting and his pampering attack, "Turn off the lights! And no hickeys on my neck!"Malcolm smiled triumphantly and turned off the lamp on the bedside table with a crisp sound.The moonlight outside the window shone through the gap between the curtains, sporadically sprinkling on the bed and covering the ambiguous smell of the room.A night
the President Office of White Corp.Malcolm just entered the office and Chad came in to ask for reward."Boss, you're energetic today. You must have a great time last night, right?" He rubbed his hands together, with a silly smile similar to a puppy's on his face. Energetic?Last night he knelt on the washboard for nearly an hour and his knees were still swollen with two bruises.Malcolm's dark eyes were lightly averted. His expression was mysterious but he smiled, which was a little weird.Chad looked confused. It was the first time for him to see such a strange expression on his boss' face, as if he was angry, but also seemed to be in a good mood?Was this a success, or was it a failure?He was a little unsure.Malcolm, who was wearing a pair of black leather gloves today for the first time, removed the gloves and showed Chad the palm of his left hand. His voice was low with no emotion. "What do you think of the battle?"Chad looked at his left hand and saw the swollen and purple br
Lyra and Melissa looked at each other and each took out their phones and turned on the live-streaming APP.Gloria had got more 10 million audience in the live-streaming room.She cried in front of the camera, complaining tearfully about being told by the company yesterday to suspend her activities. And it was suspected that she would be shelved by the company.She kept sad-fishing and said she was so sad that she got insomnia at night. And she also implied that Melissa had caused her to become like this.Recently because her body shape was similar with the actress' who slept with Corey, she suffered an unwarranted disaster, and felt aggrieved that she and Corey just ordinary friends.In the ward, the atmosphere became extraordinarily deep as Gloria made a tearful show in front of the camera.Lyra looked at the comment section of her live stream and already quite a few people were beginning to sympathize with her.Because Melissa's interview had just ended, it had not been able to be p
On the top floor of Angle Group Tower, the atmosphere was frozen.Lyra looked coldly at the girl in front of her, who was only nineteen years old.She seemed to know about her previous affairs with Malcolm, but how could she, a showbiz actress, know about their things in Frayton?Lyra was thinking about it when Ethel smiled innocently, "What are you nervous about? I just said it casually. You have a secret?"Could it be that she was overthinking it?Lyra's face was stony and she didn't say anything.Ethel smiled and continued, "There is a charity party tonight. I will attend as Mr. Malcolm's female companion. Miss Lloyd, you're his fiancee. It seems you have no place. He can't be have told this to you, right? You're not so important in his heart."She giggled, gave a provocative smile, and turned to get in the elevator.Lyra kept staring at her back as she completely disappeared to the top floor. Her face was extra serious.Kellie was shocked by her expression, and hurriedly advised,
She had attended major film festivals, walked red carpets, large or small, and even been featured as an important guest at various parties.Yet no man would ever actively refuse to go out arm in arm with her.This was simply humiliating for her.But she was merely upset, she quickly smiled, "I understand. Don't worry. I won't make it difficult for you and Miss Lloyd."Malcolm nodded his head, and his long legs stepped out of the car with cool pride, taking the lead.Chad immediately followed him out of the car and went around to the other side to help Ethel open the door.As soon as the two appeared, they were the center of attention, with flashlight clicking around.Ethel was freely with this kind of scene. The smile on her face was decent and noble. The two entered side by side, but the distance was very well controlled, not even a piece of clothing touch. Since then, Ethel had been very disciplined and controlled her distance from all kinds of social gatherings and interactions.Ma
Through the ghostly face, Lyra saw the intense aggressiveness in his dark eyes, as threatening as a hawk, and her heart throbbed. Malcolm rubbed the tip of her nose with his directly in front of all the people who came around.Then in a voice only two people could hear, "Rara don't blame me. You wouldn't listen to my explanation, so I had to resort to this.""You..."Without waiting for her to continue, Malcolm's thin lips came right up and kissed her precisely on the mouth.Lyra did not move. Originally she just wanted to cooperate with him in front of everyone, but ended up being brought in emotionally by his kiss. She forgot to close her eyes and their breathing intertwined. The two kissed deeply right at the entrance of the banquet hall.The scene instantly resounded with shouts of surprise.Many people took out their cell phones to take pictures.Because it was a charity party, and there were stars invited and many media.The flashes were quickly put in place to capture this epic
Half an hour?She ignored him yesterday and he ended up on his knees for almost an hour!However, this was something Malcolm will not tell her.He just shook his head with an honest look on his face, "You put the medicine on my hand yourself. I thought you were the one who forbade me to put the medicine on my knees."He was afraid his sad-fishing went too far and Lyra would notice, "It was too late after sex so I forgot."Lyra didn't even notice what was in his mind, because Ethel's words kept lingering in her ears.It made her feel complicated."Does your hand still hurt? Show it to me."Malcolm spread his left hand out and handed it to her.Despite last night's medication, his palm was still swollen and purple-red."It hurt that badly last night?""No, it's because when we had sex, my hands were propped up, my palms were pressed and the blood was not circulating. That's why my palm was so swollen. It doesn't hurt anymore." Now it didn't hurt anymore, so she can know that it was real
Melissa bowed twice in a row and went back to the bed, "Sorry Mr. Lloyd! I've used the sheets and covers. I don't suppose you don't mind it?" Keith seemed to understand her somewhat and got up and got out of bed."I'm really sorry to bother you ...'"Melissa continued to apologize as if she was reciting scripture, while quickly collecting the sheets and bedding in her hands, and then bowed and left. Keith looked at the large bed that was instantly empty. He smiled helplessly, took out the spare quilt from the cupboard and made it up himself.Just a few minutes ago, Melissa said fifteen times of sorry and bowed twelve times!She was a little silly and cute?Tat was interesting.Early morning.Soft daylight poured through the floor-to-ceiling screen and onto the bedroom's minimalist bed.When Malcolm woke up, Lyra was already awake and was leaning on the bed, playing on her cell phone with an extraordinarily focused look.He was baffled, "Playing on your phone early in the morning. Are
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
