CHAPTER 3: SUDDENLY GET RICH

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-16 20:48:33

"Your father said you can choose not to go back now, but you must accept the right to operate the Angle Group in Frayton. It's a subsidiary of Lloyd Group. You need to make the group's profit for the current year five points higher than previous."

"He said that you could refuse, but the Freeman Group could end up very badly as a result."

Lyra gritted her teeth in hatred.

Before the old Mr. Freeman died, she had promised that she would help operate the Freeman Group, so she couldn't let anything happen to the group.

Her dad clearly had known her soft spot this time, but instead of using it to threaten her to go home, he wanted her to take over the Angle Group.

What the hell was he up to?

"Okay, as he wishes!"

Lyra took a pen, signed her name, and took the black gold card in which contained thirty billion dollars.

Looking at the card, she shook her head in amusement.

A few minutes ago, she was so poor that she only had ten dollars, which was not even enough to pay for taking a taxi.

So, she suddenly got rich?

Because of a previous agreement with her dad, her bank account was frozen. What was more, she had to hide her true identity. Otherwise, it was considered a breach of the agreement. Normally, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law despised the poor and curried favour with the rich. They were the followers of the rich and powerful, and never respected her.

What would they be like to know that she was actually the youngest daughter of Lloyd family, Lyra Lloyd, the richest woman in the country?

She remembered that before she recovered her memory, her best friend from the orphanage was dying. She was on her knees, begging Fiona Lee, her mother-in-law to lend her money. Fiona proudly took out a platinum bank card, but instead of handing it to her, she showed it off, "Guess how much money is in here? A million! You've never seen so much money in your life, right?" "But I won't lend you a dime! Instead, I'll use it to buy dog food! Because your poor friend is not as good as a pet dog in my eyes.”

Lyra clenched her fists and was furious when recalling the past.

If she had a chance, she would like to take revenge on them! An eye for an eye!

As she was pondering, Lyra was suddenly grabbed by her wrist from behind.

When she turned around, she found it was Fiona.

Fiona was holding her chin high and her expression was very disgusted and discontented. Followed by a few noblewomen, Fiona carried many shopping bags in hands. It looked like they should have just finished shopping.

Lyra tucked her card into her bag while keeping her countenance. "What's up?" said Lyra indifferently.

At first, Fiona was stunned, because she didn't expect Lyra's attitude to be so cold. Lyra used to be abashed when she saw Fiona.

"Who gave you the permission to come out and make a fool of yourself!? Have you finished house chores? Is lunch ready? If you starve my baby son, I'll kill you!"

"Look at what you're wearing! You've been married for several years, but you still look like a poor person. It's a bloody disgrace!"

"Me? Disgrace?"

What Fiona said seemed to be a big joke to her, "After I married your son, you deliberately drove away the servants and forced me to quit my job. I had to wash and cook for your son, and to be a virtuous wife. I did all you wanted me to, but are you satisfied with that?"

"And you made it worse. You wrongly accused me of stealing your jewels. It's your way to withhold my shares given by the old Mr. Freeman. And you held me down on my knees in the pouring rain. Have you forgotten all of that?"

Several noblewomen behind Fiona were surprised about that. Although they all knew Fiona was mean to her daughter-in-law, they didn't expect her to be deranged to this extent.

Seeing that there was about a conflict between the two, several noblewomen made some excuses and left.

"You! What are you talking about?!"

Fiona had tried to interrupt Lyra for several times, but she spoke so fast like a machine gun.

"You know it well."

Lyra arrogantly lifted up her chin, and her eyes looked stern, "I put up with you in the past, but if you mess with me again in the future, I will double my revenge!”

    Fiona was stunned by her aura. Was she still the same wishy-washy daughter-in-law? "So you were pretending before!" The more Fiona thought about it, the angrier she got, "I'm not going to let you go off today. I'm going to tell Melvin and make him divorce you! Even if you beg me on your knees, I will still kick you out of my family!" Fiona ground her teeth and threatened. Lyra sneered, with disdain on her face. "Oh, I just forgot to mention that. Just ten minutes ago, Melvin and I got divorced. Even if you beg me on your knees, I won't enter the Freeman Manor any more." Divorced? And just divorced? No way! This dirtbag used to be so desperate to stay in the Freeman family. She finally gave up? Suspiciously, Fiona looked at Lyra's back as she left. To confirm it, she made a phone call to Melvin right away. "Melvin, do you really divorce?" Melvin replied with a "hmm" and suddenly frowned, "Just did the paperwork. Who told you that?" "Who else could it be? I ran into Lyra on t

    Melvin entered the hall and went to help Charlotte up.And then, he look at Lyra with disappointment, "I thought you'll restrain yourself after the divorce, but I didn't expect that you are still so despicable. You disgust me. I had planned to allocate this villa under your name. But it seems unnecessary.""Melvin, don't blame Lyra. I made her angry and she pushed me by accident. It's all my fault. You can scold me."Charlotte leaned in his arms with self-condemnation expression, sobbing in an aggrieved and pitiful manner. She then glanced at Lyra, but with triumphal smugness.Melvin's face was frosty, and he said to Lyra with a commanding tone, "Now, immediately, apologize to Lottie."Let her to apologize?She was a little angry.Lyra looked at the two loving persons back and forth, smiling with arched eyebrows. She tenderly went to pull Charlotte who was in Melvin's arms.Charlotte thought she would get angry and argue with her, but she didn't expect her to smile in front of her.Fe

    Melvin frowned. When did he ever say he wanted to abandon her? Why would she think that?He was baffled and just wanted to go after her to make things clear but his pant leg was clutched from behind."Melvin... I know it's wrong."Charlotte on the floor raised her miserable little face and softly choked as she explained, "I'm just afraid... afraid that you'll really like Lyra for the three years I've been away. I'm afraid you won't want me ..."Melvin frowned, looked down and saw her slightly puffy cheeks. His eyes slightly moved, and he reached out to help her up."I said I'll give you the status of being my wife. Divorce is a matter of time, and you are too eager this time." His tone softened a bit.Charlotte grabbed his sleeve and pursed her mouth in aggression, "It's all my fault, but I didn't want to harm anyone. I just used the wrong method, Melvin ... forgive me!"When he didn't say anything else, she softly leaned into his arms, tentatively revealing her fair shoulder.Melvin'

Do you know that the president of our Angle Group is worth hundreds of millions of dollars? Are you the kind of person who can get along with him?"Lyra was practically laughing.With her status now, she was afraid that she was way much richer than this Angle Group president. And the receptionist acted like asnob.For this kind of employee, Lyra was also lazy to talk nonsense with her. And her expression was serious, "Make a phone call to your senior. Just say I am here. If the senior does not see me, I’ll bear all the consequences."The receptionist wanted to continue to retort, but was scared by Lyra's cold and sharp gaze that she dared not say anything."That's what you said! Consequences at your own risk!"The receptionist grunted and informed the senior by adding the trimmings, when Lyra looked more and more arrogant.The receptionis

The daughter they teach is only full of shit.""Also, what's wrong with married people? Is there a rule that married people are not allowed to participate? Is your brother not married?

Did he ever touch your hand?"His tone was cold and heavy, but because he called her by the term of endearment, there was no fierce and vicious feeling, but rather a kind of educating his daughter.She was speechless. Their babies had been born. Why was Malcolm jealous endlessly?"What do you mean? Alone in a room with a man? Y

    Anthony smiled at her from afar.His blue and deep eyes would be flooded with admiration only at the sight of her.After coming out of the interrogation room, he seemed to have gone to get a haircut and, by the way, shaved his beard.In addition to the skin that was rougher than before, his face was still as good-looking as before expect the feeling of vicissitude.Lyra stood still and watched quietly as Anthony approached her.She asked, "How do you get here?""I want to see my sister, but I didn't expect you to be there. It just so happens I went to a mall to buy some gifts after signing a bill from the National Investigation Bureau, so can I have a dinner at Lyre Spiti tonight?"Lyra thought about it and didn't refuse, "Sure, little Spencer and Momo will be very happy if they know they are going to see their godfather."

    Lyra was caught up in memories.Orphanage, husband's family...Why did she feel a little familiar with that?With suspicion, she sat down again next to Melissa and clutched her hand that was not in a infusion, "Melissa, do you remember your last name?"Melissa's lips were pale. She smiled and looked at her gently, "What is wrong with you? How can I not remember my last name? Back at Wright Street in Frayton, I was picked up by the old director of orphanage. The director said I would smile when I saw people. And I looked sweet. She gave me the name Melissa, and the last name is same with her. That's Walsh."Lyra's expression froze and she looked to Keith who was next to her.Keith was also stunned. He got up from the bed and grabbed Melissa's wrist, asking incredulously, "Melissa, what happened to you? Your last name is not Walsh anymore. It's Callahan. You're the fifth daughte of the Callahan family. Esther Callahan is your original name. Do you remember?"Melissa pulled her wrist bac

    Anthony: "Okay, I'll be quick and not make it difficult for you."He turned around and went inside the secret interrogation room again.Guided by two soldiers, they walked through the long corridor to the door where Shane was being held.The iron door was opened. The first thing that came into view was red color. Shane was covered in blood, pale, and dripping with cold sweat. His hands were hanging backwards to an iron hook on the roof. This was the National Investigation Bureau's usual means of torment.He had known Shane for so long. Shane always looked proud to be unbeatable. It was the first time for Anthony to see him be miserable in this way.To say he was not happy was a lie.After all, Anthony never felt like he, himself was a good guy.Hearing the sound of clear footsteps, Shane lifted his eyes with difficulty and snorted softly with his weak voice, "I guessed you'd come. Anthony, did you think you'd won?"Anthony laughed and did not hide his feelings, "It's rare to see you s

    Shane's expression froze.The redness on his left cheek did not affect his good-looking appearance.He looked similar to Anthony, with the color of their pupils being the biggest difference.Anthony's blue eyes were like starry gemstones, rendering people feel that he was an exotic prince. He was exquisitely handsome, both in righteous and evil way.Shane's pupils were dark brown. He looked sharp, handsome and righteous.But it was his appearance that made people have the illusion of justice.He laughed like a madman and didn't answer the question, "A loss is a loss. High-order Prison is the kind of place where I'll go crazy if I need to stay there for the rest of my life. Malcolm, just kill me." "Do you want to die so badly?"Malcolm let go of his collar and took a wet tissue to wipe his hands haughtily."This is not your choice. The charge of matricide is not light. If you refuse to confess, I will find it out. If you really did it, even if you have to be executes by shooting, befor

    Malcolm looked collected as if he was sure to win.He glanced at Chad, who was taking notes next to him, and instructed him to record every word as much as possible.Chad nodded.Tom began to explain, "Mr. Shane did imprison Mrs. Callahan and Miss Melissa. He purchased a batch of drugs on Dark Net. You have two. But I do not know the specific name of the drugs and the way of operation. I only know that Mr. Shane initially imprisoned Mrs. Callahan and administered the drugs to her in order to get the power of Callahan family.""Because of the full support of the Combs' Group, Mr. Shane could snatch the power from the hands of his brothers. Mr. Shane has said since his father brought back Mr. Anthony and asked to have Mr. Anthony's name in the family tree, Mrs. Callahan had some mental problems. So he gave her some drugs. It would not be discovered by anyone ..."Chad snorted lightly as he felt angry about what he said."He did hide it quite well. Since he got the power, it had not been

    In the office of the National Investigation Bureau.Malcolm was reviewing the recent interrogation testimony of everyone.Levi knocked on the door and came in, standing at the open space in front of his office table."Mr. Malcolm."Malcolm didn't even raise his head, remained rea the testimony sheet in his hand, and inquired with his low tone, "What for?"Levi had his hands clasped behind his back, "Mr. Malcolm, you've been locking Mr. Shane in the interrogation room for two days. He is, after all, the deputy director. And recently he had an accident at home. His mother ...""Cut the crap." Malcolm gave him an impatient look, "If you can't explain what you're here for in five sentences, prepare for the devil training in my office this afternoon."Levi was flabbergasted.The last time when Shane was left in Malcolm's office and tortured for an afternoon, he knew exactly what happened, and it was him who carried Shane back to the Callahan Residence afterwards. For this kind of torture,

    Malcolm's eyes looked deep and he didn't say a word.He waited for the entire seventh team of soldiers to finish searching and come down to report."Mr. Malcolm, no significant findings in Shane Callahan's room.""Mr. Malcolm, nothing found on the top floor either.""Mr. Malcolm ..."Malcolm listened quietly to the report, but his eyes were quietly looking at the servants and bodyguards in the garden, as well as the butler.Tom had the calmest and most relaxed expression when he heard the report of all the searches, as if he had expected this result.Malcolm narrowed his cold eyes and tentatively continued his order, "Everyone searches the garden and the small backyard of Callahan Residence again. No detail is to be missed."Tom lowered his head slightly and tightened his palms. Knowing what was going on in the backyard, he tightened his palms instinctively.Malcolm keenly noticed his strange reaction and said nothing, taking Chad and Ted himself and checking the garden and the small

    "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, bro."The two went back to the White Mansion together and then split up in the winding alley.Chad went back to his villa, where Keira was probably cooking dinner and waiting for him to come home.Malcolm went back to Lyre Spiti. He had made it a habit to make a meal for Lyra to enjoy together before she came home.Lyra was busy with the Lloyd's Corp and was helping Keith with Melissa's treatment.Knowing exactly what Melissa had been attacked with, the doctor in the lab would be better able to prescribe the right medicine for her, but after all, it was a neurological disease and the treatment period was longer.After half an hour or so, Lyra came home.Malcolm finished cooking just in time and put the last dish on the table.The two finished their dinner in harmony and sweetness.Before going to bed, Malcolm went to the bathroom to take a shower.Lyra saw that his shirt which was casually thrown in the corner of the bed, and went over to help him pack
