Malcolm sulked, not opening his mouth.Chad continued: "Boss, you really should restrain a little. Overindulgence hurts your body!"Malcolm's face quickly darkened.Chad noticed that the salary that had only just gone up in his pocket seemed to be waving goodbye to him.He panicked and changed his mind, "I mean, if Mr. Collin knows, I don't how Miss Lyra is going to explain when she's back to Lloyd's Parlor. And with your current physical condition, if you are seriously injured again, I am afraid even God can not save you."Good advice was harsh to the ear.The words were not pleasant, but they were indeed the truth.Malcolm was not a "tyrant" boss.He nodded his head in agreement.On the computer screen displayed an urgent email sent by the National Investigation Bureau about the Crana border.Malcolm clicked on it. His handsome face was turned back to seriousness in a second, "There's another organization over the border causing trouble. Pack your things and leave tomorrow night." "
The "old lady" turned her head and saw a pair of cold eyes."You, it's you..."Lyra's red lips sneered, "Gloria, I didn't expect you to be so dirty-minded now!"When saying this, her eyes were fierce, and her hands twisted heavily Gloria's delicate wrist with the dexterity of jujitsu and Gloria's hand fractured on the spot. "Ah! My hand!"Gloria's features twisted in pain, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground.Lyra lifted her heels and kicked her hard in the thigh.Gloria fell to the ground and crawled to the ground without getting up.The staff, agents and assistants next to her were stunned."Why are you still standing there!? Why don't you take Melissa to get her eyes cleaned!" Lyra yelled."Yes, yes."The assistant quickly got a dry towel, wrapped the wet Melissa and took her to the bathroom.Gloria was so upset to see her plan fail completely.This opportunity was the last of her savings before she was able to buy Melissa's trip to shoot in Bana.She screamed at the top o
Because the S404 virus in his body was extremely stubborn, even if she did conceive, the virus was likely to be passed on to the child.When the time came, a small life would only suffer...But he couldn't let Lyra take the medicine, and he was afraid that Lyra would notice something different.There were already potency drugs on the market that men can take that had little side effects on their bodies, so he hid it from Lyra every time he had taken the drug beforehand.Lyra did not know what he was thinking. She just remembered she drank alcohol three days in consecutive when she was in Frayton. As a result, that hurt her body and she had recuperated for a long time. She wondered if it was possible that she got some diseases at that time that caused her inability to conceive?"Mel, you're strong and fit. Compared to you, I am a bit weaker, so I want to go to the hospital for a full body checkup. So that I can rest assured I am healthy."Malcolm's dark eyes narrowed and his face went
But as an older brother, he could not grab his sister's breakfast, so he could only sulk.The two girls chatted extraordinarily happy, so he could not even interject a word, as if he was shielded by them.It made him a little bit depressed.On the contrary, Melissa and Lyra had a very pleasant meal.After the meal, Keith went to work.Because Lyra was there, the two were still on the way, and he did not drive Melissa down the hill for the first time.In the car, Keith looked to Jalen who was in the passenger seat, "Do you feel anything weird today?""Weird?"Jalen was puzzled and looked at Keith, "No, it's the same as usual."Keith didn't say anything else and turned on his computer to check his business for the day.His car had just left Anning Hill when Irene's car quietly pulled around the corner a hundred meters away and she silently watched his limousine leave.Peter: "It seems Mr. Keith did not send the girl down the hill today. Now she should still be at the villa."Irene groun
Irene was so shocked that she fell backwards, and Peter was quick to help her.With tears in her eyes, she was resigned, "Is this bitch better than me? No matter her family, or her education, how can she compare with me? Only you and I are the right match!" "Irene, even if all the women in this world are dead, I won't marry you!"Keith's eyes were cold and he looked at her with disgust, "Do you hear me clearly? Now take your people and get out! Don't dirty my villa!"Irene, with tear stains on her face, glared sorrowfully at Melissa who was next to Lyra."Keith, you mention withdrawing from the marriage to me again for this little bitch named Melissa? I will make you regret it!"After she gritted her teeth and said those words, she left with her people.When Irene had gone, Lyra approached Keith and asked him incredulously."Keith, did you just mean it? You really like Melissa?"This news was too sudden. Lyra slowed down a little bit, "Then I frame myself up? My friend became my siste
"Boss, wake up!"Chad braced himself for sanity and swooped over to check on Malcolm, who was uninjured and not hit by a bullet.Then it would have to be ...The virus in his body broke out?Chad's hands were trembling to check the pulse in his neck.The pulse beat steadily and very steadily.He let out a long breath.Fortunately, he was still alive and just passed out.He took Malcolm's arm and humped him onto his back, calmly laying out the arrangements."Ted and Brad follow me to withdraw first. The others cover each other. All evacuate safely within ten minutes. Go back to Suham in two days for standby." "Copy."After the arrangements, Chad carried the unconscious Malcolm on his back and ran wildly through the mountains and forests.Ted and Brad followed them, on guard to prevent anyone from sneaking up on him in front or behind.They quickly evacuated from the border and got on a helicopter that flew back to Suham immediately. On the helicopter, Malcolm was still unconscious. His
Chad paused and did not continue for he saw Malcolm's brows furrowed instantly, and his dark eyes were bleak."I gave you a gag order about the virus in my body. Remember, don't tell her a word!""Yes."Chad was worried, "But boss, even if you can hide it now, she'll have to suddenly accept the news of your death in five months. She'll be the most distressed.""I know. Let me think about it again."Malcolm lowered his eyes, looking dejected. His eyelashes fluttered as if to hide something.Chad knew that he was the most torn and sad one at this moment.It was late at night, and Chad exited the room to get some rest in another lab room.It was quiet late at night.The banana tree outside the window was blown by the wind, and soon it drizzled.Malcolm tilted his head, looking at the rain beads on the window glass as if absorbed in thought. His deep and proud face became dull and pale, with complex look. The phone rang with a message.Malcolm unlocked it and saw that it was a message fro
It was dark outside the window.A table lamp was on in the bedroom. Its light was dim but warm.Malcolm's face was backlit and obscure.But Lyra felt his gaze.She sat up straight and got out of his arms. Her small hands stroked his cheeks. And her starry eyes were incomparably serious."Mel, once I thought I could let go of my love for you without a care in the world, but since I almost lost you that time, I've come to fully realize myself.""I love you.""As deeply as you love me.""No matter how many times you want to ask in the future, my answer will definitely be, love you!"When they were looking at each other, both their eyes got red at the same time.Malcolm restrained himself from crying, and embraced her in his arms. It was so tight that his arms were trembling.She said she also loved him deeply ...Although he would rather hear that she didn't love him this time, when she replied so earnestly, he was in full of emotion.With her words, that was enough.Sensing his nervousn
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
