Melvin called the housekeeper in."From today onwards, Lady Fiona and Miss Freeman are grounded together. No one is allowed to let them out without my permission. And if anyone dares to disobey, they will be dealt with according to the Freeman Manor's severest punishment.""Huh?"He was not gonna get even with that bitch Lyra?Fiona blew her stack, pointing at Melvin and scolding him relentlessly, saying that he was an ungrateful bastard, heartless, disobedient and unfilial ...Melvin let her be and didn't say another word, leaving the room with a sullen face.He called in Fred."Whatever was smashed, have them replaced as soon as possible, and then send someone to keep an eye on the Freeman Manor. Any phone call must be monitored and reported to me quickly.""Yes." Fred gave him a hesitant glance, "...But boss, would that be a bit too harsh on the lady and Miss Freeman? Miss Carroll is so merciless on this."When he thought of the misery Fiona and Sheila had gone through, Fred couldn
Stacy's face froze, but then she smiled even wider.She pulled Lyra aside and whispered in her ear, "The three directors are all respected figures of Grandviz. They could easily decide whether our artists will get the main roles of this TV show. Be careful not to offend them."Lyra nodded, with little expression on her face.The two finished their private chitchat and politely turned back around.The three directors stared at Lyra with unblinking eyes, their eyes glinting with lust, which disgusted Lyra."Miss Carroll really lives up to your name. Not only are you beautiful, you're in such a good shape."Mr. Harper was the first to speak."Thank you for your compliment. You three misters are the best of the best." Lyra replied with a smile.Stacy greeted everyone warmly and have them seated.She raised the glass, being the first to toast to Lyra, "Miss Carroll, this is your first time negotiating business in person since you took office. Here's to you. I wish you a success." A glass o
Mr. Pollard's eyes widened in horror when he saw who was the man."Mr. Freeman... What are you doing here?"Melvin's face was livid and frightening, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and his grip on the collar tightened, "Which room is she in? What are you going to do to her?"Mr. Pollard was scared half to death by the man's horrifying glare. He told Melvin everything out of fright.Stacy's face also paled with fear, quietly looking for an opportunity to sneak away.But she was caught by Fred who just arrived.Melvin left both of them to Fred, "Tie them up, find a room and lock them there. I'll deal with them later."After saying that, he ran to Lyra's room like he was gonna kill someone.He had a bad hunch.That bastard Mr. Pollard told him that Lyra had already been drugged, and fifteen minutes had passed since then, did she...His scarlet eyes were gradually tinged with killing intent.He Pushed open the door of the room violently.The first thing he saw was a bloody mess, with
Melvin pursed his thin lips, and he walked out of the hotel without saying a word.Fred had no choice but to call his men to release those two people.Stacy and Mr. Pollard were tied up in a darkened room, shivering.She never could have imagined that Lyra actually knew such a big shot like Melvin, and her jealousy towards Lyra deepened even more.An orphan who grew up in an orphanage, whose marital status on the profile seemed to read "Divorced".What made a woman like this worthy of the help from so many excellent men in Frayton?But more than jealousy, she was afraid at the moment.It was the fear of how Melvin would handle them.The light turned on with a crisp snap, both were almost blinded under the sudden illumination.They were trembling with fear, and before they could ask for mercy, they saw Fred's men untying them!Then the group of people left directly without casting them a glance.The two people looked at each other in puzzlement.What was going on here?They let them go
As Stacy thought about it, she felt that Lyra was laying traps for her, so she chose to ignore her questions.Stacy continued her questioning, "When did Miss Carroll make a deal with Grandviz? How come I haven't heard anything about this?""Miss Kim, you're funny. You mean I have to inform you first when I do something?"Lyra sneered and stared at Stacy with penetrating gaze, "Who do you think you are?"Stacy was stunned, not expecting Lyra to retort her in front of the whole company.At the moment, all eyes were fixed her, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.She bit her lips, with an injured look on her face. She softened her tone and said respectfully, "I'm sorry. I was full of myself. I thought you, the director, would've discussed it with your subordinates." The weak and cowering Stacy, against the proud and aggressive Lyra.She acted like Lyra was using her privilege as the director to bully her.Stacy was complacent about herself.Wanna fight with her?This unruly newcome
"How dare you!"Stacy first noticed that Lyra was sitting in the main seat of the conference room before she realized what Lyra had just said, her lips trembling, "What...what do you mean?" Lyra was smiling triumphantly.She just looked at Stacy askance and didn't answer.Stacy was panicked by that smile, and even more so by her air of confidence."Lunatic! You're simply a lunatic!"Though she was scolding Lyra, she actually took two steps back as she spoke.Just as she turned around and was about to leave, four men in police uniforms suddenly came to the door of the conference room and knocked politely, "Excuse me, who is Stacy Kim?" Upon hearing her own name, Stacy froze, "What do you want?"Hearing her answer, the police officers immediately turned serous, walking towards her.Stacy's face was pale with fear, "Did you guys get it wrong? I'm a law-abiding citizen!" "We will judge for ourselves whether you are innocent or not. Please come with us." "No! I'm not going!"Mr. Harper and
"Bitch! You're a siren!"Irene was furious that this bitch had seduced Keith in front of her, Keith's real fiancée!She followed him from Suham to Frayton, not to mention how much effort she had put in getting engaged to him in the first place.How many women in the world could love a man like she did for Keith!But Keith always refused to see her, and let Jalen use various excuses to brush her off. This time, again, he said he was busy, but his so-called "busy" was busy having lunch with this bitch? The more Irene thought about it, the angrier she became. Underneath her delicate makeup was a fierce face. She glared at Lyra viciously and raised her hand to slap her.Lyra didn't duck, but just waited there without moving.However.Irene's hand didn't even get to touch a strand of Lyra's hair before it was clutched.Jalen clamped her wrist tightly and his tone was serious, "Miss Frazier, this is Angle Group. You can't use violence here. Please behave yourself."Irene tried to pull her h
Fred saw Melvin's livid face and thus called him.Melvin snapped back from his own thoughts and instructed, "About the ownership transfer of the villa, the lawyer must give us a draft of the agreement today, and then contact Lyra to come over to sign it." "Yes, I'll get to it immediately."At the Angle Group Tower.Since Stacy was jailed, Lyra had lacked someone to help her, and now she had to focus on the reality talent competition project, so she decided to pick a replacement from those agents and assistants.At the moment, in her small office, seven female employees of varying heights were standing in two rows.Most of the female employees in the first row looked pretty, but not standing upright, looking a bit ostentatious.Lyra only took a glance at the first row and she didn't like them being so fake.She scanned across every face and her eyes were drawn to the girl standing furthest away in the second row. "You, step forward."The girl did not expect to be called. Surprised and
In front of the dress rack, Ethel was excited to show Lyra the dresses she had chosen."Lyra, they all look good to me. Which one do you think suits me better?"Lyra smiled, "You have to try them on before you know if they fit.""You're right." Ethel immediately looked to the sales, "Send those to the changing room. I want to try them on.""Okay." The sales immediately took the clothes Ethel had carefully picked out and went over to the changing room.Once the sales left, Ethel took Lyra's arm once again and smiled innocently, "To put on the formal dress is complicated. It's inconvenient for me to put it on alone. Lyra, can you go in with me and help me faster the buckle?"Lyra didn't say a word, didn't explicitly agree, and didn't refuse either.Ethel made the decision for Lyra and took her into the changing room.When undressing in front of Lyra, Ethel did not shy away as if the two were really intimate sister for many years.Lyra leaned against the wall and looked at her coldly, "Y
It had been a long time since she had not been so cold to him.Lyra didn't say anything.Because of this incident, she still felt her heart palpitating.If Keira hadn't told her this in time, if she hadn't let the driver run a red light all the way back to the hall furiously, and if the eighty times of whipping really happened, she did not dare to imagine how Malcolm would be injured.The last time when Travis was punished, she still remembered it to this day.As long as she arrived there a little late and Malcolm got two lashes, she could have been heartbroken. But why did he not care about himself?He had forgotten the promise he made to her before so quickly?If she didn't really teach him a good lesson, he would have this concealed injury thing happen again!She mulled it over seriously, took his hand, and went all the way upstairs.Malcolm felt the chill and followed her into the room without a word."Just stand here."She pointed to the carpet at the end of the bed.Although he
At the door, there was a gentle smile on Lyra's delicate face. Her chest was rising and falling incessantly, which was caused by a violent gasp after a wild running.The old White froze and didn't say anything.Albert immediately reacted and went around to the old White and pleaded, "Dad, Miss Lyra is involved in this matter. Please don't leave first. We can listen to what she has to say first. Maybe there is something that we don't know?"Lyra smiled with curved eyebrows. Her face was extremely pleasing to the elders.The old White stared at her and agreed.Malcolm, who was still kneeling on one knee in the middle of the hall, actually had no confidence to be able to endure the punishment.All his attention was focused on his back. He was concentrating on waiting to the pain, so he didn't even hear Lyra's voice at the door.He had been waiting for a while. What fell on his back was not the harsh and vicious whip of the family rule, the shirt and suit that he had just taken off and re
"Okay, got it."Malcolm's tone sounded calm. What should come always had to come. But if Lyra knew it, she would probably feel unhappy for a while...Thinking about this, he immediately instructed Chad, "Call Keira over and have her accompany Rara on her pregnancy test. Don't say anything more to Rara.""Yes."Chad immediately took out his phone and messaged Keira.Within two minutes, Keira came up from the garage.She was Chad's little follower. Chad was busy with various investigations these days. Keira had to follow all the way every time, and then obediently wait in the car for him.Once Keira arrived, Malcolm looked serious and instructed her in a serious manner, "If Rara asks later, tell her that White Corp had an urgent business and I need to go the office." "Oh, okay."After the arrangement, Malcolm immediately left with Chad.The two of them returned to the White Manor in a short time.Malcolm lowered his head and quietly thought about something the whole way.When he reached
Lyra's eyes instantly went cold.She smiled sarcastically as she remembered what happened yesterday at the Lloyd Manor."Even you don't believe this test, my brothers who have loved me for more than twenty years believe it. It's really ridiculous to think about it.""As for your advice about having Micah come here ....," the sarcasm of her tone intensified, "he is the first to believe it when he saw the report with the president's signature yesterday." Now throughout the Lloyds, she trusted no one.Irene was secretly released and went to her opening ceremony. Before she left, she yelled at her and taunted, "The one in your family has been pretending to be an innocent sheep around you for so long. I'm really looking forward to the day when you see his true face!""It must be hard to be betrayed by the one you love so much! Lyra Lloyd! I'm waiting for the day when you know the truth and fall apart!"Previously, she thought that Irene was slandering Malcolm.Now when she thought about it
Lyra burst into laughter and proudly held out her right hand to Malcolm."You must think it clearly. There is no regret it later. If you dare to bully me in the future, I will not spare you." "Okay, wash board and ruler stand by for you."Lyra was amused by him. The sadness half an hour ago completely fade away in his a gentle reassurance.Her whole heart seems to be immersed in a honey pot, which was so sweet that she can not help but smile.Malcolm took her hand, decisively put that ring on her and continued, "Wear my diamond ring and be my woman." "Rara, you can't escape in your lifetime."He cupped her hand. His soft and thin lips gently kissed the back of her hand. Then he got up and carried her on his arms."Wait."Lyra looked at the green roses under the tree, "Can't waste such beautiful flowers. Why don't we have the bodyguards cut them and put them in vases in each room?" "It's up to you."He lowered his head, kissed her on the mouth and went inside the villa.Lyra was still
"Replaced?"Malcolm laughed and snorted lightly. And he glanced sharply and sarcastically at her, "Are you trying to say you will replace her? But you, are you worthy?"Ethel's face turned completely cold."Mr. Malcolm, I hope that when Lyra's identity as an illegitimate daughter is made public, you will also choose to marry her with determination, regardless of the fact that White Corp's stock will plummet." She smiled and gave a condescending laugh. Then she turned her head and walked away.Chad watched her back as she got in a car and left. He spat and gritted his teeth, "As if she isn't an illegitimate daughter herself!""Oh my temper! Why the hell does she have to be so supercilious?""Keira is also only nineteen years old, but her scheming seems cute. Why is Ethel so disgusting!?"Chad was indignant and cursed for a long time, struggling to quell his anger.Malcolm just let him do so and calmly helped Lyra arrange, "For Rara and Clark's paternity test, I'll leave it to you to ha
Keith was momentarily dumbfounded and could only look to Micah, "Micah, can you?"Micah got up, got the test report on the coffee table and carefully examined it.At the end of the report, it was written, "the parent-child relationship is not supported", along with the official seal of Suham Hopevale General Hospital and the signature of the president."The president of Hopevale General Hospital is Mr. Hall. He is my teacher. He has always had a good relationship with dad. He personally signed it... It can't be false."It was not false?These words hit Keith and Kathleen's hearts hard.Claudia was delighted and did not hide her feelings at all.Lyra didn't pay any attention to the paternity test. She just looked at Collin, who was on the main couch and had deep eyes and didn't say anything. "Collin, you don't seem surprised. You already knew it?"Collin: "Not really early to know. After dad's accident, I'm the first to arrive. I immediately looked up the cause and knew it at most a fe
The old man in the bed was peaceful, calm and unresponsive.Lyra knew there was no way he would react.Micah gave a diagnosis that could not be wrong.However, she just wasn't willing to accept it and wanted to make sure.The tip of her nose was sore and unbearable. Her eyes became watery, and the intense sadness overwhelmed her. Her tears dripped uncontrollably onto the back of her hand. "They are simply not human!"She whispered. Her eyes gradually looked ruthless.In order to get the inheritance from her, this person did such bad deeds to her father.This time, even if it was her blood relative, someone she loved or revered, she would never forgive that person!"Dad, don't worry. I will give you an account for this matter. No matter who did it, I won't let them go off!"Lyra stroked the back of his hand and rested her head on his arm. Her tears were flowing silently into her hair. And she could remember Reginald had given her so much fatherly love all the years. "Miss Lyra."Dougla
