Three hours later.Lyra finally made it back to Lyre Spiti in the late afternoon when it was dark outside.As soon as she pushed open the door, Malcolm saw that she was holding mangy bags that was taller than her when they were piled up."You're... shopping or robbing the mall?"Lyra smiled awkwardly, "You know girls. When they encounter the mall sale, buy one get one free, buy two get three or something, we're always defenseless. It's quite cheap, so I bought them all."Malcolm was slightly stunned and broke her lie, "You're not short of money. Why do you care about those silly little discounts at the mall?""Nonsense! Who will be annoyed by having too much money? If I can buy it at a low price, why buy it at the original price? It's not like I'm stupid and have too much money!"Malcolm was very impressed, "Rara, you're careful with your money! In the future, you will be a good and frugal wife!"Lyra was amused by his serious look."Well, don't be joking. Come and help me unpack the
Lyra gasped.Just now when he changed his clothes, he left a underpants at least.In this case, she'll feel hot to watch.The bubble bath meant that he was going to be naked!She didn't guarantee that she can hold this.So she was trying to find an excuse to refuse when Malcolm quickly said, "It's just a bath, Rara. If I don't get this, I'll be so sick and I'll have angina!"He said this and his eyes looked melancholy, with his hand gripping his heart and his leaning in her arms.Lyra sighed helplessly. Since Malcolm's illness can't be hidden anymore, he was getting better and better at using it.She was sometimes convinced by it."Don't pretend. I'll prepare water for you."He smiled quietly.Lyra got up and went to the bathroom. Then she turned up the temperature of the bathroom heater, helped him fill the tub, squeezed the shower gel and stirred the bubbles in the water.When the bathroom was warm, Lyra called out to him, "It's ready. Come on in."Malcolm stepped into the bathroom,
Another long interval.Lyra shook off her sore wrists. She never felt so tired in the shower!Because she was all wet, she had to wash not only Malcolm, but also herself!She held her anger and brought out the cleaned Malcolm.After drying the water stains on his body, he was placed on the unstained floor and his robe was thrown directly in his face."Wear it yourself!"Malcolm didn't move or pick it up, letting the robe slide off his face and onto the floor."My arms have no strength and my hands hurt..." He can't wear it himself!Lyra stared at his petulantly pretentious appearance, grinding her back teeth and bursting with anger.Who the hell was challenging whose limit here?Faced with his constant sad-fishing and the behavior that he challenged her limit, she gave a vicious glance at him."You have one minute to pick it up and put it on right now. Then get out and get me a clean robe. If you dare to go over time, I'll help you know what the rule is! Permanently cancel your nightl
Eleven nodded, "Okay."Lyra withdrew her eyes and looked again at the phone number that Anthony had written, "Contact Darkbell and check this number thoroughly." "Yes, Miss."At the same time.The old Mr. White's villa."Grandpa, are you looking for me?"Malcolm stepped into the hall and bent respectfully toward the old Mr. White who sat on the couch across the coffee table.The old Mr. White raised his eyes.When he saw Malcolm who was in a tweed coat for the first time, which was very strange, he did not react that this man was his own grandson."Now that you have someone in charge, it's really different. Look at your outfit. It's much more humane." The old man looked him up and down with curiosity and smiled with relief.He did not talk. His face was flat and he stood in a disciplined manner."Sit down."The old Mr. White wrinkled hand rubbed the cane's handle, hesitated again and again before saying, "Actually, I asked you to come here today because someone wants to meet you. And
Malcolm was satisfied, "Good point. I'll give you a pay raise.""Ahaha, thank you boss! Boss, you and Miss Lyra are a perfect match ..."Garrett looked at the distant backs of the two men. His eyes were red with anger, and slammed his fist into the ground.After they went back to Lyre Spiti, Malcolm immediately looked straight and instructed Chad, "Keep the pressure on the Frazier Group three days at most. Bankruptcy, liquidation and property forfeiture. I want the Frazier family to never get up again!"Okay."He continued: "Irene has done a lot of evil things before. Her family always help her afterwards. Go to the underground network and post a reward. I want the evidence. Help Rara send Irene to jail!" The Frazier family now was fallen out of favor, so there would certainly be a lot of people adding insults.With the pent-up resentment for years, now these people can take advantage of the opportunity to step it on. Certainly they would not miss this good opportunity."Boss, don't w
Lyra was panic, with her eyelashes keep fluttering, "Maybe the caller ... dials a wrong number. Regardless of it, let's take the medicine first." "Wrong number?"Malcolm noticed her panic and suspicion grew inside.The phone was still ringing.If she didn't answer, it kept ringing.Malcolm lowered his face and got up to go get her phone, "I'll get it for you then.""No need!"Lyra pressed his hand hard.Malcolm was even more surprised that the reaction was so violent?Lyra also realized that she had overreacted and hastily pulled him to sit down, "I remembered. It should be the cooperation partner's number. I forgot to save it."He was suspicious: "It's already 9:30 p.m. What cooperation partner would call this late to talk about business?""I don't know why... that I'll pick up and ask."Lyra put down the glass of water, slowed her thudding heart, and answered the phone while turning the volume of the receiver down to minimum. "Hello, what is it?"Anthony on the other side of the pho
Under the obscure moonlight.The corners of Anthony's mouth were wickedly turned upward, and he stared at Lyra's leaving silhouette with his blue eyes in an obsessed and almost morbid way. Lyra heard his words but didn't turn around.She walked quickly. Now that she had the medicine, she had to hurry to the lab.Because it was late at night, she was worried that Malcolm would get suspicious if she went back too late.Malcolm washed up and obediently went to bed.But, he lost sleep.Looking at the darkness of the night out the window, his mind was still filled with Lyra's panicked expressions before she left.He couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes and stared out the window in a daze.It had been two hours and Lyra had not returned. He was a little uneasy and his heart felt empty.He braced himself to sit up and tried to reach for his phone on the nightstand to call Lyra to confirm her safety when Ted's call came in just in time.It was late so it must not something trivial that Ted made
Lyra's heart ached.So that was what he thought all along.Feeling like a burden and holding the mindset that he would die, he stayed with her in guiltily.She sighed softly and reached out to touch him."Mel, listen to me..."Malcolm shook off her hand and turned his back on her, huffing softly, even as his shoulders were shaking.Enduring, he made a great determination, "I know he was your first love. There was a thing between you. If you ... still like him and insist on choosing him, I'll help you!"He headed upstairs without looking back.Lyra was dumbfounded and fired up to hear it.She froze for a couple of seconds before going after him, "Malcolm! Are you full of nonsense in your head?"Malcolm walked faster and faster, went up to the third floor like a gust of wind, slammed the door heavily and locked.Lyra ran up just as he was closing the door, and almost didn't stop herself, making her head hit on the door.She looked at the closed door with her anger drifting up."Malcolm,
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
