The two people in the living room had already fought for about two rounds.Lyra's first strike missed its aim. In the following protracted battle, she couldn't rival Melvin in terms of physical strength, plus the inconvenience caused by her high heels, she was forced to the corner before she realized it.Melvin smiled, clutching her left wrist and pressing it onto the wall.Just like what he did in the previous fights.This time Lyra had learned her lesson, knowing full well that he wanted to confine her hands by holding them against the wall. Thus, while Melvin was paying attention to grab her left hand, Lyra took the opportunity to pressed on the ring on her right hand, and the silver pin popped out.Melvin was caught off guard. The silver needle on Lyra's Emerald Green Ring was held against his Adam's apple.Fortunately, she had been wearing the ring all the time for protection ever since Micah gave her this. Thought the silver needle was small, it was made from a very hard materia

Having finished her lunch in the cafeteria, Lyra went back to her office and turn on her work mode again.She only had a speculation about the matter of the Matthews family, but there was no substantial evidence, and neither did she actually care.But if Charlotte took the initiative to mess with her, then it would be different.Halfway through the afternoon, Cody called.What came to Lyra's ear was a sweet boyish voice, "Lyra, are you free tonight?"Lyra was tapping the keyboard, her tone flat, "Nope."Cody pouted and continued anyway, "I have to go to the banquet at the Matthews' tonight. I've been working for seven days in a row, so you have to give me a break, right?""Granted."Not expecting her to agree so readily, Cody tentatively asked again, "And may I have the pleasure to invite Miss Carroll to be my date for the evening?"Lyra pursed her lips, her starry eyes flickering, thinking over something.A while later, she replied, "Ok."With one brief word, Lyra hung up the phone.

At 8:00 pm, the Matthews House was full of guests, except for their own relatives, all of whom came from the upper echelon of dignitaries. Katelyn Morgan, also known as the Mrs. Matthews, stood quietly beside Jamie Matthews, smiling and greeting the guests every now and then.But she was not happy at all. Her real daughter was still in a coma, but Jamie already asked to bring his mistress's daughter back, and let Katelyn admit that girl as her child. She was downright furious. But she also knew that the Matthews family did not have any son as the heir, and her only daughter had become a vegetable. To prevent the Matthews family from collapsing, she could only listen to Jamie. So no matter how reluctant she was, she had to pretend to love Charlotte."Look! It's Miss Charlotte Matthews!"Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and all eyes instantly followed the spotlight and looked to the second floor.Charlotte was wearing delicate makeup, a fine-tuned smile on her face, with a dress t

When Sheila finished, the whole room was shocked.People's gaze towards Lyra changed instantly.Cody knew Lyra's real identity. His was instantly infuriated, "Who the hell are you to slander my friend!"Sheila was jealous and angry when she saw that Cody was still defending Lyra even after what she had said.Sheila did not dare to offend the young devil of the Carver family, she could only suppress her fury, "Mr. Carver, you've been deceived by this woman. She is best at acting like an innocent angel and seducing men. She used to wheedle my grandfather like that!"Bullshit! Lyra is..."The person behind him suddenly pinched his arm so hard that Cody's words came to a screeching halt and he turned his head to look at Lyra.Lyra slightly furrowed her brow and shook her head, her gaze indicative of something.Melvin, who had been keeping silent in the crowd, saw the small movements between the two clearly and subconsciously frowned.Cody, who understood Lyra's hint here, completely stopp

Lyra remained calm and collected, "Alright."She turned her head to look at Cody, but saw Cody blushing with obvious awkwardness, and he said in a very small voice, "Lyra... I can't do this song. Am I embarrassing you?"Lyra didn't say anything, and didn't mean to blame him.Sheila once again broke the silence, smiling more smugly, "It seems that Mr. Carver can't help you. What would you do now? What if no one here want to dance with you? How embarrassing would that be!" Lyra remained silent as her eyes scanned across the men in the room.A few men coveted the beautiful Lyra and at one point they wanted to stand up and invite her, but to think that she was wearing a knock-off dress, they were afraid they would be disgraced being on stage with her, so they eventually gave up.For two minutes, none in the room asked to dance with Lyra.Sheila's smug grin could not get any wider.She was about to continue taunting Lyra when suddenly from the back of the crowd came a man's husky voice."I

The crowd started whispering again, and some even quietly googled First Snow in an attempt to find out the difference between the two dresses. And Charlotte, who was standing in the corner of the stage, was completely flummoxed.This bitch had done dancing, but how come nothing happened?She was obviously wearing the fake dress!Why?Which part of the process went wrong?Charlotte could not accept it at all. She suffered a crushing defeat because of Lyra, who had stolen the show completely.She ran to Lyra to see what kind of sorcery Lyra had done to the dress.Just halfway through the run, because of her violent stretching movement, the waistline of the dress connecting the hip suddenly split!At this time, there was no music to cover the sound anymore. The tearing sound was very loud and piercing, almost instantly drawing the attention of everyone.The moment Charlotte realized it, she reached out to cover it at once but was too late!The stitching on the side of her dress was torn

Jamie paused, and the crowd instantly fell silent, waiting expectantly for what he was gonna say.The look on his face turned solemn, "I believe that all the guests here know what happened to the Matton Corp a few days ago. It was agonizing to our family. But for the purpose that the Matton Corp could continue to prosper, I have decided to announce my new heir in the presence of all of you tonight, Charlotte Matthews."As he finished, he turned his head and stretched out his arm to indicate the crowd to look upstairs.Charlotte had changed into a new light yellow long dress, fluffy curls falling right on her right shoulder, and she even had her makeup fixed too, back to being the pretty Miss Matthews.Her gentle and elegant smile seemed like she had totally forgotten what had happened over an hour ago.The guests also applauded accordingly when they saw her.With the lesson she just learned, Charlotte collected herself and came downstairs at an even pace, slowly walking up to Jamie an

Katelyn was about to question Charlotte when Jamie and Melvin came this way, side by side.Seeing the man that she thought she could seek protection from, Charlotte instantly pounced over, crying, "Melvin..."Melvin took a glance at him and pursed his lips without saying anything.In the dim light, his expression was somewhat dour.Jamie saw Charlotte's ruined makeup and asked, "What's going on?"The guests gathered around helped to explain the situation. Although they were biased towards Charlotte, they didn't say anything too harsh considering that they didn't dare mess with Cody, and that they were really amazed by Lyra's dance.As Jamie listened, he basically understood what happened.Putting on a smile on his face, he apologized to the guest and let them continue with their dinner; then he comforted Charlotte with a few words, and went back to the main banquet hall with the others.Charlotte was still whimpering as she went to take Melvin's hand. She pouted like an innocent littl

Chad raised his eyes insensibly and found a pair of large, blood-stained, but bony palms clutching his wrist. It was Melvin who woke up.Not only that, his strength was also restored because of the injection of 023 antidote.He slept in the recliner and looked sideways at Chad. His thin and bloodied lips were making a soft smile."I'm not so easy to die yet. What's your hurry?""Boss!"Surprise flashed in Chad's eyes, then he continued to cry, "You scared the shit out of me! I thought you'd really fucking died!" Brad was young and had just been terrified.The two men bawled in front of Melvin without regard to their images. They cried for a while and then began to laugh. While laughing, the tears were still streaming down. Their expressions were very comical. Melvin gently patted Chad's shoulder and reassured him, "I was just so tired that my heart and pulse only stopped temporarily with the influence of the S404 virus. But I could actually hear everything you said." "You can hear me!

He told Brad to rush back to the base to find Doctor Y, but he hadn't returned yet.But he knew his body well. He should ... not last until Lyra returned from dinner.Did he really want to die like this?He was so reluctant, but he could do nothing about it.Now he did not even have the strength to write a farewell letter.And Lyra seemed to hug him just now for the first time since the divorce ...No, she didn't. She was just touching his head.Anthony was right. She was, after all, treating him like a pet...She already... didn't love him anymore.As he thought about it, he gradually lost his consciousness, and his vision became uncontrollably obscure."Lyra...""I give you my life, and you give me back my love, OK ...?"He closed his eyes in resignation with his hands hanging down helplessly. His demeanor was serene.It was silent all around.In addition to the rustle of the wind blowing the curtains, there was only the sound of the blood from his fingers streaming down drop by dro
BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 183: WILL YOU REMEMBER ME AFTER I DIE
His heart ached like a twinge, and the suffocating feeling in his chest was overwhelming so much that he can barely breathe.What did he need to do to win her heart back...?Lyra turned her head, brought a footstool over from beside the small sofa in the room, and sat across from him with a serious look."To give you the antidote is not to force the release of the agreement. I just thought you always got hurt lately. Because of 023, the pain will be amplified. You saved me this time and I help you to release the severe pain. It's also considered to returning the favor."Melvin stared at her steadily, not answering.Lyra went on to explain, "About the employment agreement, since it was settled last time and I still have your recorded promise in my phone, I won't mention it again."This meant that she was not as defensive as she was at the beginning?Did this mean that everything he'd done lately had brought him one step closer to her?"Aren't you afraid if you give me the antidote, you
BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 182: HIS REQUEST IS A HUG
He was sure Lyra, the little villain, can't take a single loss.He shook his head, secretly sighing that he must not mess with this little girl in the future.Collin on the other end of the phone was not aware that he was set up by Lyra and said seriously, "I heard from Keith that you recently find the evidence to catch the Harringtons. By the way, I help you check it Tomorrow, I'll let Keith fax it to your company computer."Lyra laughed in her heart.He will have time to do this "by the way"?It seemed to be premeditated, deliberately waiting for her to finish being punished before mentioning this.So this was sort of carrot and stick?Although it was a little unpleasant to think about, she thought of her promise to hit Collin.It was still not a loss!And there was no reason not to take the evidence delivered to her door.Lyra answered sweetly and complimented for Collin before finally ending the call.Because Melvin was in the hospital and it was late after Lyra finished kneeling,

Anthony froze and became serious, "I have been busy with Security Agency during the day, so I did not ask about last night's case. I really don't know, but..." He spoke with a slight pause and stared at Lyra with apologetic eyes, explaining."1"I'm sorry Lyra, I didn't stop Bernard from taking you last night because I was angry with you and caused you to suffer all night at the police department. But you have to believe that I haven't changed. I'll always be your Anthony!"In his excitement, he reached out to hold Lyra's hand."I certainly do believe you."Lyra smiled, did not move his hand back, elegantly pin down the hair, "Right, my money isin the hands of Harrington Group for too long. If I do not to get it back, I always feel upset. I need you to help me." Anthony obliged, "Of course, as long as you want to do, I will help."Lyra smiled with arched eyebrows.The two made small talk for a while longer.The meal lasted until 8 p.m.Lyra refused Anthony's ride and drove back to Sea
BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 180: UNSOLICITED INVITATION TO DINNER
The doctor froze and didn't move.After Lyra identified herself, the doctor immediately checked Melvin's medical records on the computer."This patient is basically fine except that he has a pretty weak condition."The lab sheet was reprinted.The doctor handed it to her.She gently took it, scanned it carefully, and asked again, "And how about the injury on his back?""It is the ordinary concentrated sulfuric acid that caused the burns. If he uses the medicine for a period of time, he will be fine. Pay attention not to get wet, but... after recovering, it will certainly leave a scar. It will not look good."Lyra went over the labs again and they showed that Melvin's health was indeed fine.But can it really be that simple?Then why was Melvin so abnormal today?She always felt something was wrong, something strange, but she couldn't say it."Really? Don't hide it from me." She stared at the doctor cautiously and emphasized.The doctor's face was flat. It was not like he was lying, "Y

Bernard rushed to call Lyra.On the monitor, the man in ordinary uniform stood under the camera, with his back to the camera, slowly extended his right hand and gave a thumbs down gesture.After that, he left the police department, completely disappearing from all surveillance.This attitude was extremely arrogant and provocative!Bernard also checked out several other surveillance, and found only the back, or face was covered tightly by a hat and sunglasses. He was completely unable to see the face. Only the tall figure was vaguely visible.This man was not only arrogant, but also familiar with the police department's surveillance. Did the department have an inside man?Bernard looked furious, but Lyra looked smiling.This man was somewhat similar in stature to the man she met in the aisle of Fantalure Bar last night.And this action, he was deliberately mocking her.If she can't find him, her name was not Lyra Lloyd!From the surveillance room, Lyra headed straight for the door.For
BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 178: INTERROGATION
As soon as he said these words, Chad received the cold light of violent anger under Melvin's eyes.He also knew that he was too anxious and said the wrong thing, and consciously slapped his face twice heavily and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Sorry boss, I was the one who got excited and didn't mean to curse you."He slapped his face hard and the corners of the mouth were broken, seeping a little blood.Although the eyes were red, the face was written with displeasure and not too convincing look.Melvin eased the pain in his body, and did not have the strength to argue with him. His voice was low and weak."I'll go back, but first to deal with Lyra's matter. You tell Brad to go back first, ask if there is a potion that can temporarily suppress S404. In addition, look for the special cream to get rid of scars."Chad was speechless, "Boss, you still think about whether the wound will leave scars. Is good look important? It's life that matters!"Melvin glared at him grimly. His t

Melvin tightened his eyebrows and glared angrily at Eleven. his dark eyes were chilling, "Did you just say Lyra went to the police department last night?" Eleven was simply speechless!It was Fifteen who called from the police department. They only said that they wanted to hide it from Melvin first, so that he could recuperate well, but the result was he caught on the spot. "Mr. Freeman, don't worry. Master Keith is in it. She'll be fine. May she just needs to do a statement, and then she'll be released."How was it possible to feel at ease?She spent last night in the police department. How cold it was inside! She couldn't sleep well at all!He turned his head and was about to go downstairs when Eleven stopped him."Mr. Freeman you can not be discharged from the hospital yet. The doctor said the fluid is not just concentrated sulfuric acid. They need to test. You have to stay in the hospital for observation!" Melvin simply ignored it.As he just walked a few steps, he suddenly the bl
