The living room's silence, which lasted a few minutes, was broken by Micah.He calmly arranged, "Keith, go to the black net to pose a reward, see if you can collect the evidence that Anthony is the illegitimate son of the royal family. Leave the other matters to the legal team. I will let the legal team draft a plan as soon as possible. Rara, you just follow the lawyer's explanation at that time."Melissa, who had been listening carefully, said, "His illegitimate son's identity has not been exposed for so many years, so it is evident that European Swye's royal has blocked the news. Maybe it's not easy to collect the evidence, and to post a reward in black net is not necessary."She used "his" to refer to Anthony. On the one hand, Anthony was her brother after all. It was disrespectful to call him by his full name. On the other hand, she couldn't call him brother or his first name. Keith turned his head to look at her, "You have an idea?"Melissa nodded, "Maybe I can find the evidence!
Fortunately, the photo was still there and Shane shouldn't have found out she stole it from the study yet.She explained, "I was just curious. After all, mom is up there and I haven't met her yet, so I wanted to go up there and see."Shane sighed, "Forget it. I'm not going to punish you this time. There's no next time, and there are rules at home. Since you're back, you have to abide by them. Do you know?""Got it."Shane got up and straightened his uniform collar. His tone was light, "You were in shock last night. Get some sleep. I'll have them bring up meal later.""Wait."Melissa pulled on his cuffs and raised her head to look at him, "Last night before I passed out, it seemed like someone hit me on the head with something and tried to strangle me. This person was saying something about how I shouldn't live in this world. Was it ... mom?"Shane resumed his seat and patted her on the shoulder.His tone softened, "No, and no one wants to strangle you. The injury on your forehead is c
Lyra quietly tucked the note back into her pocket and dropped her eyelashes in silence.On the seat, Princess Cayley was in a poor state of mind. She looked sad and painful, so that the unaware would sigh with emotion about her great motherly love. Even if her adopted son died, she was still grief-stricken. She was really kind.On the contrary, Lyra looked cold. Although she was good-looking, she was malicious. If she really killed the princess' adopted son, she deserved it.The uninformed gallery had unanimously favored Princess Cayley's side."Charles Lance was requested to be repatriated by an international arrest warrant. He was at fault and should be handed over by the National Investigation Bureau for criminal law. Defendant Lyra Lloyd killed Charles Lance on the day of the wedding. The body was taken away and is still missing. She did such a heartless thing. We ask your honor to sentence severely!"Lyra was lost in thought when she heard the plaintiff's attorney call out her na
Harrod cleared his throat and helped her analyze rationally with his vigorous voice."The Lloyd family has definite evidence that Anthony is an illegitimate child. If it comes to light, it will do you, me, and the royal family no good. If king knows, he wouldn't approve of your decision." Princess Cayley was even more angry, with her eyes glowing with fierceness."Why? Lyra Lloyd the bitch killed my son. She deserves a life for a life. She thinks I'll give in by threatening me with these old stories? She's dreaming!""I have to get justice for Anthony, so what if I expose the royal scandal!? Even if there is life-and-death struggle, I will sue her to the end!"Harrod could not persuade her, lowered his face and said no more.Melissa had just come out of the bathroom and was walking down the aisle when Shane's men took her away.She was taken to a hotel and pushed into Shane's room. She was stumbling a few steps before she could stand.Shane was sitting lazily by the window, lighting a
Lyra's eyes were downcast. Her expression was cold, and she did not say a word.The plaintiff's attorney raised his hand and continued, "The defendant does not refute because she is weak-minded and she did shoot Mr. Charles Lance that day. Your Honor, we recommend that she be taken into custody first ..."He was making a well-founded complaint against Lyra when the paralegal, who was taking notes on his laptop next to him, suddenly received an email.The paralegal opened the email, read the first two lines and he was shocked. Hurriedly, he turned the computer to Princess Cayley.Princess Cayley read the email carefully. The more she read, the more her eyes turned red and she sobbed uncontrollably, losing control of her emotions for a while.The paralegal had to interrupt the trial, "I'm sorry, Your Honor, our plaintiff has an emotional breakdown and requests another recess!"The Lloyd family's legal team was preparing to wait for the plaintiff's attorney to finish and come up with the
So that was what he cared about.Lyra smiled, with her hands gently caressing his cheeks, "You're jealous?""Well, it's a little upsetting."He looked away in depression, and his handsome face seemed to say "I'm so aggrieved. I need you to coax"."Malcolm, you're so cute when you're all serious and jealous!" Lyra stifled a laugh, gently stood on tiptoe and kissed him. And she was coaxing him with her soft voice."I remember your preferences too. From now on I only remember everything about you, forget everything about others, OK?"Malcolm's face returned to normal, "You said this."Lyra was nodding, and the two hugged tightly as they watched the plane carrying Anthony and leaving Crana....In the car outside the airport, hearing the sound of the plane taking off, Chad took out the cigarette in his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.Isla watched his expression quietly, sensing that he was not in a good mood."Chad, is it possible that you don't want that Mr. Anthony to leave?"Chad took
Keira was very light and thin. She kept struggling but just couldn't get rid of Malcolm's clutches.Chad rushed up and rubbed his hands nervously, without confidence, "Boss, I...just joked with her ..."Malcolm looked over at him and ordered, "Get your little brat out of here! If you bully her again and cause her to come running to Rara and tell on me, I'll have punish you with military law!" "Don't! I won't do it any more!"With the mention of military law, it could say that Malcolm was really angry. Chad was frightened, and held Keira back from Malcolm's hands.Keira pouted indignantly, and her hands wrapped his neck tightly, threatening him with her eyes."You heard it! I have a backer now. If you say you don't want me anymore, Mr. Malcolm will take a little whip to beat you!"Chad and Malcolm were both speechless at the same time.Lyra covered her mouth and laughed very unkindly.Keira was really a cunning little brat. She got the backer and she was similar with her in terms of ch
"This matter is more complicated. I will tell you later. In short, it is not what you think. Rara has a good personality. You will like her in the future." Alice didn't say anything.Malcolm remembered about Chad's matter and continued, "Since you're back, why don't you help me with the opening of the clannish house these days?" "A clannish house? What are you going to do?"Malcolm's eyes looked excited, "Put Chad in the family tree and put his name under my father's name as an adopted son!""Well, you've always been an idea man. Since you're all set, I'll help you."Alice had always been very sharp.Two days later happened to be a good day. Alice helped to call the respected elders of the clan to observe the ceremony and do the record.After all, it was the White family's business, so Lyra didn't go in this time. She just stood outside the door and watched.Chad offered tea to the old Mr. White with both hands and respectfully spoke, "Hello, Grandpa."The old Mr. White took it, took
The moment when he realized what happened, he hurriedly begged her and re-answered."Honey, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to say you're heavy. You're so light, like a feather, and your figure is so good. I can't stop loving you. I can't help myself." He looked at Lyra nervously.Lyra still stared at him solemnly, not speaking.Malcolm looked at her and was confused. Did he get the wrong answer again?He didn't understand what other right answer there was?Seeing Lyra's face getting colder and colder, he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Honey, can you tell me the answer you have in mind?"Lyra grunted twice in condescension, "Yeah, how about when we get back to the bedroom, I'll teach you word for word with the ruler?"His back instantly stiffened slightly.Lyra pouted, mentioned his first answer and listed his crimes in all seriousness."The unthinking answer is the truest picture of your heart, which means that's how you think.""I'm just wearing a long gown, and you think I am heavy
Shane's eyes were deep as he stared at her, "How can it be considered a sale? I'm just helping you choose a better husband."Melissa stared at him incredulously, "Shane, we're in a modern world! Freedom of marriage should be revered. If the price of regaining my identity is the loss of choice and freedom, then I'd rather be an orphan for the rest of my life!"In the face of her strong opposition, Shane quickly softened his tone and dragged her back to his side."Well, it's just a discussion with you. There's no need to be so angry. If you insist, I won't force you."It was only with this comment that Melissa was relieved and continued to accompany him to socialize.Lyra and Malcolm's side.Together with Malcolm, the Lloyd Group was able to secure another major international trade deal as they had hoped, and had an appointment tomorrow to discuss the contract.Malcolm gave Horace a friendly handshake on Lyra's behalf.Horace said politely in less than fluent Cranian, "Miss Lyra, I look
In the business party.It was held at Cloud Top Hotel, the highest hotel in Suham. And it was on the 98th floor.All the people who came were the big names in business community of the Suham.Lyra and Malcolm entered arm in arm just as Shane, with Melissa in tow, came out of the elevator at the other end.The two sides met right at the door.Malcolm, after all, was Shane's boss at the National Investigation Bureau.Shane saw him and bent over extremely respectfully and politely, "Good evening, Mr. Malcolm."Malcolm nodded his head coldly and proudly in response.As soon as Melissa saw Lyra, she tried to run up to her, but Shane pulled her back just in time."Melissa, there are so many people watching. Mind your manners."Her wish to have a private conversation with Lyra fell through, and she could only lower her head in sullenness.Seeing this, Lyra released her hold on Malcolm's arm and took the lead, pulling Melissa with her and looking at Shane with a slight apology."Mr. Shane, I
"Abigail ..."He frowned, covered his shoulder and called softly with red eyes.It was the first time for Abigail to see such an expression. She was stupefied for a long time before realizing what happened. Then she closed her eyes not to see him."Micah, I am now the fiancee of the weaver family. I have no relationship with you. If you do anything to me today, my reputation will be all ruined."These words quickly recalled Micah's remaining sobriety."I was abrupt."He got up and sat down in a nearby chair, with his arms and legs scrunched together.His lower lip was bitten by him out of a row of blood marks. His body could not stop trembling. His face was more red than normal. Obviously, it was very hard to endure that.The moment when Abigail got free, she ran for the door and left without a backward glance.Micah looked at her determined back and laughed at himself.It would have been better to realize his feelings for her earlier, but he only felt hurtful after he really lost her
Being robbed of the glass for twice, Abigail got a little annoyed."Micah, give it back to me! Who are you to me? Just leave me alone."Micah didn't say anything and didn't give the glass of wine to her. He ducked and held the glass.Because his arms were longer than Abigail's, Abigail could not get it, which made her really angry."Micah, can you be reasonable? I've been chasing you for a year but you don't like me. Now I'm tired. Can you just leave me alone!?"Her eyes were red, and her tears glistened in grievance."Miss Matthews, no, Abigail, I..."He looked straight into her eyes, and opened his mouth but did not say a word. However, his ears and cheeks quietly turned red."What?" Abigail questioned him.He inhaled deeply. It was the first time in his life to do this kind of confession thing. And he was even more nervous than when he first operated on a surgery!Abigail had no more patience, "If you don't wanna say it, just forget it. I won't disturb you, Mr. Micah."She got up t
Gavin's smile froze and his hands nervously gripped his legs as he hurriedly explained."How can I put something in the wine? You and I are already an unmarried couple. Isn't it superfluous for me to do so? Besides, the wine was prepared by the hotel." Abigail narrowed her eyes, "It'd better be true."She swirled the wine in her glass and held it close to her lips.Just as she was about to drink, the door to the private room was opened and a pair of large, warm and broad hands took away the glass she was holding.She looked up inexplicably.It was Micah."Why are you here?"Micah did not say anything, brought the glass to the tip of his nose and sniffed gently. Then he glanced at the man in the seat next to him.Gavin swallowed and held his breath: "Who are you? This room has been booked by me. You are trespassing. Please get out!"He got up and grabbed the glass of wine Micah was holding.Micah took a step back and splashed coldly the whole glass of wine directly into his face withou
Katelyn had never thought about it in her life.Micah Lloyd, the son of the Lloyd family, who was famous in Suham, asked her to borrow money.And, for only twenty dollar...She always felt something odd, but she still rummaged through the designer purse.However, she couldn't find a twenty dollar bill in her purse, but a hundred dollar.She froze and the atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds.With Micah's gaze, she could only smile awkwardly, "Mr. Micah, please wait a moment."She got up and went to the housekeeper. Finally, she got the twenty dollar from the housekeeper and handed it to him.Micah took it and put it in his pants pocket and said politely, "Thanks a lot."As expected, he borrowed the money and went out the door without stopping for a moment.He arrived at the Jana Grand Hotel as fast as he could shortly after Abigail left.But he stood in the doorway and did not enter.Abigail was inside having lunch with her fiancé. In what role should he take to go in to her?In whi
For as long as she had known Micah, he had always been incredibly noble, cold and arrogant at any time when she saw him.She had never seen him drenched, even his short hair looked like he just got out of the shower.She stared at him in shock, "How do you..."Micah's lips were pale and he smiled gently.The smile was very slight.But it was like the melting of ice and snow formed in winter, and the warm sun after storms.Abigail's heart abruptly missed a beat, and her eyes quietly reddened uncontrollably.He just... actually smiled at her?This had been the most extravagant thing she had ever wished for.Unfortunately, now, she didn't care.She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Micah, hiding the sudden surge of bitter emotions.Micah's smile faded and he returned to his cold eyes as usual.Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit embarrassed, Katelyn cheerfully explained, "Abigail, Mr. Micah came to Frayton on a business trip. There was a small accident on the way. His cell phone a
Micah found an awning of a closed store on the side of the road, sheltering himself from the rain. He roughly estimated the distance to the Matthews House, and the distance back to the hotel.In the end, it turned out that both sides took about the same amount of time.He decisively rushed into the rain and ran wildly in the late night rainstorm.An hour later, he hadn't arrived at the Matthews House.Before he came out, he looked at the map twice. It was so dark outside. He ran with his memory, and didn't know which street was wrong, and ended up lost.At three or four o'clock, there was no car on the street, and there was no one as well.Neither could he go back to the hotel, nor could he find the Matthews House.He was alone in the pouring rain, like an isolated little wretch.He planned to pretend to be miserable but it turned out that he was really miserable.The next morning, it was breezy and peaceful in Suham.After Melissa finished her breakfast, she called Shane with a sense
