Lyra looked at his cold face and was so abashed that she dawdled up from the carpet and lay pron onto the armrest of the sofa. Just lying up, she glanced at Collin who was walking to her side.Lyra's face went pale, "Wait, wait a minute!""Say it.""Collin how many time do you ... want to beat me?"She had to prepare for that in advance. After all, she still had to deal with Anthony and go back to see Malcolm later.Collin's serious eyebrows were slightly raised, "You slept with him four or five times. So at least fifty times. What do you think?" Fifty?Lyra's heart went cold.She thought it would be five times. With Collin's strength, if he made it real, would she still be alive and go back to Malcolm's villa today!?And, did he sound like he was asking her opinion?She turned back weakly, "Can I refuse?"Collin was taking off his watch, removing his suit, rolling up his shirt cuffs, and giving her a condescending look."No."She knew it!Lyra's heart was dead, and she hit her head o
"Lyra, that's High-order Prison. Anthony is a felon. It's not easy unless I step in and bail him out."Lyra certainly knew that.But bailing out Anthony, was he worthy?She began to flatter Collin, "You're always the best in my mind. I know you must have an idea about this matter. Don't worry. I just want to fix him up. Do you have any method to make his life worse than death? After that, I'll let you get him back."Collin was silent.He didn't say yes, but didn't say no either.Lyra looked at him with her watery eyes and began to do sad-fishing: "You beat me so hard today... now someone is bullying me. You are not even going to help me this favor. I'm too miserable. Don't you love me?"Collin noticed that she was in pain and sweating, so he rushed to wipe the sweat with a wet wipe himself.Just now he was really angry and did beat her quite hard. When he calmed down, he simply felt bad for her. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, Collin wanted to immediately pick them off and gi
"Stop!"Lyra called a halt and stepped forward, "Say it! What's the cure?"The bodyguards immediately let go of Anthony and took two steps back."Lyra, do you really want to know?"He licked his teeth and smiled wickedly, "I can tell you, but I still have the same three conditions as before. As long as you nod your head, Malcolm will be saved." Lyra's eyebrows tightened and she gritted her teeth, "Anthony, you're shameless.""You're overpraising me. Think again about my conditions. Besides, I'm no worse than Malcolm. If you stay with me, I'll make you the happiest woman in the whole world."She laughed, "He is now the richest man in Suham, the president of White Corp, the head of White family and the boss of National Investigation Bureau. Besides, he's more powerful than you. And he is also more handsome than you, more fit than you. You are only a felon, a prisoner. Are you worthy to compete with him?"Anthony's face changed slightly.The gap between him and Malcolm was really big now
Lyra was shocked.Malcolm was so shrewd!She mulled over how she was going to muddle through while letting him pull and take her back to the master bedroom.Just as she sat down on the edge of the bed, Malcolm approached her and his bony fingers reached out to unzip her jeans.Lyra stared at him incredulously, "Is this your way of trying to strip me and have my injuries examined?""Or what? Show me your calves, thighs and ass."He could not rest assured until he could confirm with his own eyes that she was safe and sound!Lyra grabbed the front of her pants and moved her ass back and away from him.She braced herself, accusing him, "Malcolm, pervert! I don't believe you're just trying to check my injuries. You're sick and you're not being honest. So beatable!"Malcolm really didn't think about that this time, and all his thoughts were on whether Lyra had been beaten up."No, not to mention I have seen your whole body. What's wrong if I see it? Are you afraid of being found out?"Lyra
After a brief moment of confusion, Lyra instantly understood what he meant.At the moment, his dark eyes shone with a sly shimmer as he looked at her expectantly.Who the hell was the alpha?Why did she feel that she was the one who was being bullied?Alas, forget it. This was the man she chose. Spoil him!After a short sigh, she took a sip of water and leaned over, with her fingers gently lifting Malcolm's jaw.Malcolm closed his eyes and cooperated by slightly opening his mouth so that Lyra could smoothly pour water into his mouth.After feeding the water, Lyra eyed him and slipped him a pill."Swallow it!"Malcolm swallowed in satisfaction and dutifully took a pill."More."Lyra shook her head helplessly and laughed. Her fingertips gently wiped away the water stains drowning from the corners of his mouth, "Is that how you like it?"Malcolm nodded his head, "Sweet!""What a weird!" She was speechless and sarcastic, but what could she do with him? Let's get used to it!After all, the
In a black and white study with minimalist style.Malcolm took the cigarette from Chad, rested it in front of his nose, and smelled it.This action, if it were someone else, it would probably look a bit obscene.Malcolm, with his noble and elegant temperament, and his cold and hostile air, gave people the feeling that he was tasting champagne.After inhaling the smoke for a minute, he threw the cigarette into the trash without any reluctance.Chad had his lighter out.Seeing the cigarettes lying in the trash, his pupils dilated and looked at Malcolm in shock, "Boss, you... don't smoke?"Malcolm held his forehead, and his voice was light, "If I smoke, it is easy to leave the smell on my head and in the study. She's too smart, not to mention the smoke is not a good thing."He just smelled it to satisfy his craving.Chad nodded thoughtfully."When you leave later, remember to take away the trash away.""Yes, boss."Perhaps it was a self-consoling. Malcolm smelled the cigarette and felt m
In the bedroom.Malcolm waited for a long time, but never saw Lyra come upstairs with the pill box."Rara?"The lights were on downstairs, but no one answered.He was full of suspicion. He went out of bed, put on slippers and went downstairs to check.As he just went downstairs, he turned his head and saw Lyra standing in front of the drawer, holding a pack of cigarettes in her hand and examining it carefully.The drawer in the corner was open and full of cigarettes.His heart throbbed.In a flash, his handsome face went wan a little bit.Chad told him the location of the drawer just this afternoon before leaving, but he was busy in the remote meeting and did not have time to personally open the ... Damn, Rara never rummaged the drawer. He was so unlucky today and happened to be caught?And, Chad actually bought so many!!!His back stiffened and he was incomparably manic inside.Lyra saw his reaction, took a pack of cigarettes, turned around, walked to the couch and sat down. Her face
After all, Chad was coming, and Lyra did not want to undermine his prestige and face in front of others. She looked to the sofa next to her."Go sit."Malcolm did not move at all. His head bowed in exasperation. His dark eyes were cold and stern as if he wanted to kill someone.Lyra remembered his angina and patted his cheek to gently soothe him."Do as you're told. Go sit down, and maybe you'll be cleared in a minute."Malcolm just subsided his tyrannical mood and sat down on the side sofa.Fifteen minutes later.Chad came in a hurry.As soon as he entered the villa, he was frightened by a certain cold, heavy and appalling aura in the living room.Seeing the cigarette on the table, he was clear enough about what happened.His elaborate design was not in vain. His boss was caught red-handed so quickly.Great job!He stood across the table, and was somewhat happy.Malcolm saw him and thought he had the audacity to laugh?In front of Lyra, Malcolm suppressed his anger and said in a deep
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
