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
She patted his back, carefully soothing him.It took a few minutes of coaxing before she said, "Is it still painful?"Malcolm nodded with a feeble look on his face, but pretending to be strong."It's okay to have you around."Lyra secretly admired his pretentious appearance, helped him to lie down, put up the pillow and tucked him in."It just delayed for more than half of an hour. You haven't taken your evening medicine. Wait for me for a while. I'll go get it for you.""Okay."Within two minutes, Lyra placed a glass of warm water and pills on the bedside table, and she closed the door before sitting back down on the edge of the bed.Malcolm looked at the pile of pills and his dark eyes flashed bitterly, "Will I still have your feeding service tonight?"Lyra looked flat, handed him the glass of water and asked, "What do you think of your performance tonight? Worthy of a reward?"He instantly lowered his eyes in gloom, knowing himself to be at a disadvantage.Tonight he was lucky not
Her eyes were closed, silently describing the pampering to him. And her delicate face was calm and serious.Malcolm watched in awe, and was touched inside.After the kiss, Lyra asked, "Does it hurt?"Malcolm was about to say "yes" when he suddenly remembered the painful price he paid for saying yes last time, so he changed his mind.His long eyelashes trembled lightly and he dragged the end syllable, "It hurts..."Lyra's gaze was approving and her tone was rising, "You've learned a lesson and you know how to cry out in pain this time. It seems you didn't suffer for nothing."After a few more kisses to his palm, Lyra got up, put the whip back in the drawer, and took out the swelling cream inside.While applying the cream to his palm and knees, she blew the injuries as well."In the future, tell me if there is something in your heart. You think the medicine is bitter. If you discuss with me in advance, there will be no such a thing. What do you think?"Malcolm nodded. His eyes were soft
Lyra did not speak. Her face was stony and she was still very uneasy.Malcolm went on to add, "I've been recuperating at home for more than half of a month. If I don't go out, the outside world will get suspicious.""All right." Lyra compromised, "But you are not allowed to drink alcohol at the party, only juice. If you dare to drink secretly without my knowledge, you will have to suffer!" She grunted twice and glared at him.Like a small wildcat with outstretched claws, it can tickle his heart but he can't help it.Malcolm's long fingers threaded through her silky black hair, gently lifted the back of her head up, leaned in, and kissed her with his thin lips.After a long kiss, he pursed his lips, being a bit reminiscent, "Juice and wine are not as sweet and delicious as you."Lyra helped him put on the ghost face, gently nudged his shoulder and pouted, "Glib!"The two joked around and slowly made their way out the door. They sat in the black Shelby limited edition supercar and went
Lyra's face was instantly serious.Irene was so quick to act. She can hardly retain her composure?She first looked at Malcolm and instructed, "Mel, there are girls backstage. It's not convenient for you to go. I'll come to you later. Remember, no drinking!"In front of the outsider, she just raised her eyebrows to indicate, and the cunning threat in her eyes spoke for itself.Malcolm pursed his lips and nodded.Lyra was then relieved to leave with the assistant.As soon as she left, Malcolm's face grew bitter.Not long after, he called Chad over and whispered instructions, "Have Ted keep a secret eye on Rara's safety. And you keep an eye on the Frazier family's siblings. Report to me any time when there's any movement.""Yes, boss!"When Chad was gone, he looked up at the Frazier family's villa and his eyes looked obscure.He turned his head quickly, but he saw Keith walking head-on toward him.Keith had previously learned from Lyra the fact that Malcolm was once Melvin.His face was
Who was really helping her?In Lyra's mind, there was Ethel's face for no reason. The woman seemed to know very well what she did before in Frayton ...Seeing that she didn't say anything, Irene was very proud, "How about it, Lyra? Finding out that your tough tricks don't work on me anymore, are you panicking?"Lyra's aura did not go down by Irene, but more severe.She smiled: "I am a person who likes things that are challenging. Since you don't take it seriously, I will make a big deal out of this party, but I don't think my aunt and uncle and your brother, should be able to be as clam as you are."She looked at the time and continued, "There are still eight minutes left. If a good birthday party turns into a joke of the upper class's families, we can see if your parents really spoil you and you can be lawless?""You! You're really trying to get in my face!"With Irene's delicate makeup, her expression gradually twisted in anger.Both sides were deadlocked, and both attitudes were ha
The party was about to begin.The garden was bustling with guests and the sound of violins and pianos came through.And at this moment in the villa.Garrett was in a secluded hallway, facing a difficult decision.Irene decided to give it one more push, "Garrett, drink up! I've already done this. You have no way back. If Malcolm and Keith find out in advance, how will they revenge against our family?""But if you make it, Malcolm will dislike Lyra and break off the engagement. And the Lloyd family will feel ashamed of themselves and have no face to ask our family for a statement. And the initiative will be in our hands! By then, Lyra will be at your mercy.""Garrett!"Garrett's eyes grew firm as he was pushed to the point of no return.He took the champagne Irene handed him and tilted his head and drank it down.Irene was satisfied and smiled happily, "Go upstairs. She's your little beauty only tonight. Enjoy!"Garrett, with mixed emotions, held onto the handrail and walked very slowly
Irene was running and panting.She had the bodyguards quickly secure the door and kept Malcolm, Keith and Chad out."Mr. Malcolm, Keith, since she chose to be with my brother, we should respect her choice. This is now known by all the noble families. We should think about how to face the media and suppress tomorrow's headline."In Malcolm deep and black eyes, there was a terrible hostility, and he coldly spit out two words."Get out!"Irene didn't move. In her sinister eyes, there was sneer."Mr. Malcolm, once something like adultery is open, then Lyra's reputation will be ruined. After all, she is your fiancée. You are so cruel to her?""I only believe what I see with my own eyes. Irene, and if Lyra is not in there, you the Frazier family have deliberately tarnished my fiancée's reputation. This will not be settled easily!"Malcolm's tone was ruthless, and his dark eyes seemed to have seen everything.Keith also felt that his sister could not have done such a thing, and looked at Ire
Malcolm inhaled deeply, but the tip of his nose was just uncontrollably sour.For the past six months, he had a narrow escape several times, and had experienced a lot of things with Lyra. God knew how extravagant his hope was, and how much he was looking forward to getting this... The tears in his eyes were getting more and more. He bit his lower lip and nuzzled into Lyra's arms, burying his face in her shoulder.Lyra stroked his broad back, patting and coaxing.He did not look up, sobbing. After calming himself down, he said in a collected tone."It's so windy outside. It makes my eyes uncomfortable. Rara let's go back."Lyra just laughed and didn't see him through, "The wind is quite strong. It made your eyes red. If I stay for a while, I guess my eyes will be red too!"The two held hands and interlaced their fingers.On the day of obtaining the marriage license, Lyra and Malcolm kept it a secret to everyone.They did not receive any blessings and did not cause any public opinion. T
Malcolm looked up and saw her, with his dark eyes shining with delight.After a while, he lowered his eyes, "Will it be appropriate to get the certificate now? If others know it, there will be gossip.""Let's do the hidden marriage first. No one will know it. Besides, we have to make ourselves happy first. We're not doing this for others." Malcolm thought deeply for a moment, and his eyes looked elated again."You're right. We have to make ourselves happy first."He lowered his eyes and smiled cunningly, "Tomorrow is also a good day. Why don't we go to get a license in the morning tomorrow?"Lyra flicked him on the forehead, "Okay, it's up to you."Malcolm crouched in front of her. Learning the happy news that he would be her real husband tomorrow, he wrapped his arms around her calves and rested his head on her thighs. Lyra stroked the back of his head.On the bedside table, Lyra's cell phone suddenly rang.It was Twelve.A phone call at this time of night was bound to be no good.Af
Ethel looked at Keagan in shock and called out in surprise, "Keagan, what did you do?"Because of the Buddhist Scriptures, her voice, which sounded good before, was dry and hoarse.However, when Ethel called his name, Keagan felt his whole heart warm.Even if his furious mother would find out afterwards and have to hang him up and beat him to death, he thought it was worth it."I went to town yesterday in accordance with your instructions. I quietly bought two packs of drugs. Twelve and Fifteen have been drugged by me. You can run away now!""I put many drugs. They will have to wake up at least tomorrow at noon. By that time, I'm afraid you've already escaped to the town!"Looking at his silly and honest face, which looked sincere, Ethel had a complicated feeling inside."Your mother has said that I am a bad woman with a poisonous heart. Aren't you afraid that after I run away, I will come back to take revenge on your mother in the future?"Keagan looked at her and shook his head firm
Half an hour later.Lyra and Malcolm went back to the Lloyd Manor together at Anning Hill.Micah and Keith hadn't arrived yet. And Kathleen was pacing back and forth in front of the door, seemingly waiting for them.As soon as she saw them get out of the car, Kathleen immediately ran over, "Lyra, you're finally back."Noticing her red eyes, Lyra smoothed her mind and asked, "How's dad?"Kathleen shook her head, "It's not good. The doctor said it's just last two days. But still, we'll wait Micah.""Okay."Several people entered the villa quickly.The door of Reginald's bedroom was opened, and there was a man sitting in front of the bed.Lyra hadn't seen Collin for seven or eight days.This time when she saw him, he had completely changed.He was much thinner. The skin was also rougher than before. And he had beard, looking more haggard and mature.At the age of thirty-something, he looked ten years older by the torments of past few days.Lyra didn't know what he'd been through lately,
The meeting room was silent, and everyone became mute, meekly lowering their heads to listen to her."This time, I have discussed with Malcolm. He'll inform the subsidiary to stop the project immediately. As for our side, CloudSail Project needs to be slightly altered. When the heat has gone, then re-launch it into the market."Lyra commanded and immediately said in an overbearing manner, "Dismiss!" Then she turned her head and left.When she left the conference room, she was still trembling a little, and even stumbled.In fact, within half an hour, she could not check out the whole thing. The employee called Rosie Bell was what she just temporarily used as a scapegoat, because she must quickly reassure them, end everyone's discussion of the matter and propose a solution. Then she could privately investigate the real culprit and deal with it quietly.Perhaps because her anger was too powerful, all the directors just now did not completely figure it out and were sharply scolded by her
There was still one last week to go for the wedding.During the week, Lyra was not idle. The Lloyd Group had just handed over to her, and there were still many projects that she needed to understand and perfect.It was a good thing she had Malcolm to help her annotate the documents, and she processed her work much faster.The two went to work together at the Lloyd Group, as if it was customary.There was a laptop on the coffee table and Malcolm was working on a project of White Corp, and when he wasn't busy, he continued to annotate papers for her. The two work with a unified pace and devoted their minds to it.Knock-knock-In the afternoon, her assistant, Audrina, knocked on the door of the president's office in a hurry."Miss Lyra, a bad news!"When she pushed the door in, she saw Malcolm was there and suddenly looked embarrassed and stopped talking.Lyra stopped typing and craned her head to look at her, "Say it. Malcolm is on his own business."With Lyra's words, Audrina could onl
Glancing at Lyra who was in a good mood, he still planed to muddle through."Rara, let's forget about those unpleasant things before. I'll go back at night to have some oranges and watch TV, OK?""No."Lyra was not swayed. She had made up her mind, "Tell me, how many documents remain to be annotated?"This time, orange could not save him?Malcolm, feeling bad, gestured to her at the papers on the coffee table.There was still a third of it left, which was quite a lot.Lyra laughed, "What's my rule? Ten lashes per page, how many lashes are needed for so many papers?"Without waiting for him to speak, Lyra had already gone to pack up."Mel, hurry up and pack. Go home and I'll treat you well!"She was so happy to be able to beat him up?He was so depressed that he didn't say a word to help her organize her table before carrying her up. They took the elevator to the garage, and then went home.In the car, he leaned back against Lyra's shoulder, showing weakness."Rara, is it really necess
Malcolm was speechless.There was no way. Lyra was really angry. Failing to persuade her, he could only reluctantly return to the sofa and hurry into the work.The office was instantly quiet, and neither of the two broke the peace again.The sound of keyboard tapping and writing blended perfectly and harmoniously.After another two hours, Audrina carefully leaned against the door. She was not pushing it in this time, but waiting for Lyra to come out."Miss Lyra, there is a regular shareholders meeting in fifteen minutes. All the directors are already waiting in the meeting room, just waiting for you to go there." "Okay, I'll be right there."Lyra turned off the computer screen, glanced at Malcolm who was on the sofa and seriously writing notes. She did not intend to disturb him, got up and left the office immediately.In the conference hall.Seeing Lyra come in, all the directors' expressions were serious and the atmosphere was subtle.Especially Robert, who had just come to the offic
Unfortunately, it had happened and she could never go back.After only a few seconds of regret, her mind grew turbid and her whole being fell into darkness.President's Office of the Lloyd Group.Lyra had just taken over the family's large listed company and was still unfamiliar with the business, so she inevitably had to take more efforts to the group.During this time, Malcolm followed her around every time, thoughtfully helping her annotate the documents and concerning about her. He was even more thoughtful than her assistant.At that time, Malcolm was sitting quietly on the sofa. With a stack of complex documents in front of him, he was writing his analysis line by line with a red pen.All of these contents were by definition company secrets and should not be shown to Malcolm.The Lloyd Group and White Corp had a partnership but also a competitive relationship.But for Malcolm, Lyra was completely assured, and not worried that he would steal data, and even had thought of the White
