"Oops! Sorry!"She hurriedly turned her back and covered her eyes, with her heart still thumping.What did she just see?Malcolm White, who was known for the man in power of White family in Suham, had always been serious in speech and manner.In private, he was so obedient that he let Miss Lyra pinch his butt?Lyra, who was in the couch, heard the movement, and her face turned red. Immediately, she wanted to get up but was pulled by Malcolm into his arms again.He was smiling teasingly and said in a low and magnetic voice to accuse her, "You were caught bullying me. Rara, what should you do?"Did he put the blame on her victim?Lyra instantly lowered her eyes and ground her back teeth, "Mr. Malcolm, can you bark like a puppy?""No."Malcolm furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure and leaned in again as if no one was watching, kissing her precisely on the lips.Kellie, who was standing in the doorway, was panic.Would she be fired tomorrow when she happened to see the private sweetness of
Malcolm's expression immediately became grim."You mean you drowned when you were fifteen years old? And someone pushed you into the water?"Lyra nodded, "I lost my memory later. Until the night I married you, you deliberately did not return from overtime at the company. Charlotte came to me at night and said a lot of harsh words. I did not pay attention for a moment and she pushed me into the pool from behind. My head hit the coral raised next to it, only then happened to recover the memory."Malcolm's heart tingled with guilt at the mention of what happened three years ago, and his arms tightened around her.Lyra did not notice his change of mind and continued, "But about what happened to me, I really can't remember anything at all. Occasionally when stimulated, there will be some broken images, but I can not connect them together."Malcolm thought about it carefully and came up with a hypothesis."Rara, have you been injected with some kind of drug and that's what caused the memory
"Let them in." said Lyra who was unperturbed.Two men dressed like bodyguards walked in and bent towards Lyra respectfully, "Miss Lyra, we are sent by the old Mr. Carver. He wants to terminate Mr. Cody's artist contract with Angle Group, and we will take Mr. Cody back."Lyra didn't answer for a moment.She knew that the old Carver did this because he was afraid that Cody's affair would implicate her and wanted to help her stop the damage in time."Termination of the contract is not possible. Please go back and tell him that I will definitely advance and retreat together with Cody!"The two bodyguards looked at each other.After all, they were only here to deliver the message. They couldn't make the decision, so they could only add, "Then please hand over Mr. Cody to us so that we can take him back to Frayton first." Lyra was too aware of the old Mr. Carver's tutelage.Whether this was really done by Cody or not, he had caused a lot of impact on the network, and it was estimated that t
Cody was still drunk and felt groggy.He shook his hand and pointed at Lyra, being not afraid of anything at all, "What the hell? Who? I don't know you!"What he said had managed to turn Lyra's anger to rage.Beatable little bastard!She looked around the room and saw that there was nothing to take advantage of. Subconsciously she looked at the belt around Malcolm's waist.Malcolm noticed her gaze and looked at his belt as well. Instantly he understood."No way!" He furrowed his eyebrows and refused decisively.Lyra thought about it and felt bad about it, so she looked at Chad again, who was standing by the door. Then she reached toward him, "Belt, give it to me.""Huh?"Chad, who was slightly confused, saw Malcolm's seemingly acquiescent gaze.He could only force himself to unbuckle the belt around his waist and hand it over.Before Lyra could take it, Chad had an sudden enlightenment, "Do you want to beat this kid up? It's a heavy work. My prospective sister-in-law, you can't be too
Lyra got a little annoyed, "Is this your business, or mine? If you don't be more aggressive, I'll let your family take you away tonight!" "Don't do that. I was wrong."Cody took a paper towel and wiped the water stains from his body. Then he straightened his messy hair, and reluctantly stood up.Lyra continued with the rebuke, "Hurry up. Come and open the door.""Okay, fine."The three came to the monitoring room together.According to Cody's recollection, they let the staff of the monitoring room to play out all the surveillance videos from the time Cody entered the room. It was played at ten times speed and they checked for the abnormalities together.As long as it was not committed by Cody, he must have been transported out from the bar to take photos at hotel, so it was impossible not to leave a trace.Cody drank too much wine. The surveillance videos were playing quickly. On a dozen screens, there were many people moving at the same time. He watched the videos and his brain was d
As if thinking of something, he instructed Chad, "Tell the National Investigation Bureau to arrest Aaron Barker immediately. I want to interrogate him myself.""Huh?"Chad didn't understand, "Bro, of three, Aaron didn't do anything out of the ordinary at all."Malcolm insisted, "Arrest Aaron Barker. I won't say it again."They all thought that those photos were taken on bed.So someone must have moved Cody out of the bar to a nearby hotel, and then let some voluptuous women to come and pose.But in fact, there was no complete bed on the photos. One could only see the white pillows and covers.When a normal person saw this kind of photo for the first time, he or she would think it was a photo in bed.He looked down at Lyra who was in his arms, choosing to tell her first of any thoughts he had."Rara, those photos on the internet are probably no bed photos. They may be taken in the room at the bar.""When I just checked the surveillance, I noticed that all the people who entered and lef
Cody walked towards him in anger and went up to him with a fierce punch, using his full strength.Aaron wailed and was knocked to the ground."Bastard, I'm not too mean to you, am I!?""The year before, that son of bitch of Combs family kissed your then girlfriend. It was me who brought people to help you out. Afterwards, I was beaten by my grandfather. I stayed in the bed for three days. have I complained about you?""You're going to ruin my career and my life! Where exactly did I wrong you!?"The more he talked, the angrier Cody became and he grabbed Aaron by the collar, lifted him up and punched him more times, specifically on the face.Aaron's face was soon bloody and his blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth.Lyra and Malcolm watched from a distance and did not obstruct.It wasn't until Aaron could hardly stand it that Malcolm spoke up to stop it, "That's enough. Chad, take Mr. Cody away."Chad immediately stepped forward and held Cody's arm from behind, forcibly dragg
One hour later.Various hot opinions about Cody on the internet were subjected to a round of cleansing.The National Investigation Bureau's official notice of punishment clarified for Cody that he was just drunk and was taken advantage of to take photos to blackmail money. Fans of Cody online saw this message and instantly became strong-willed."I told you my Cody would never do such a thing! Those people are just jealous of my Cody's popularity!""Thanks for returning my Cody's innocence. Those trollers who do not know the truth and still take the side, come out and apologize!"Lyra was sitting in the car back to Lyre Spiti. She was checking her phone for new headlines and was pleased with the way the incident had petered out.Thinking of the old Mr. Carver, Lyra made a phone call personally the next day just after she arrived at Angle Group.She persuade him in various methods.She also used her job as the Angle Group's agent as an excuse, and said that Cody's schedule was full rece
Ethel stared at her and stunned by her cold gaze. Uncontrollably, she was trembling and aware of a hint of danger.Seeing that Ethel was finally a little scared, she snorted lightly."Tomorrow morning, I will have you sent to the countryside residence with bodyguards to watch over you. There are former servants from our family. They will keep an eye on you day in and day out doing farm work.""Every night before sunset, you will be whipped with ten lashes, and then you will kneel in the courtyard and finish reciting a whole book of Prajnaparamita as a confession of your sins. You can rest when you have finished reading.""How do you feel about doing that every day, week in and week out? Isn't that magnanimous?"Ethel's back stiffened and her already weak face went wan little by little.She had heard of Prajnaparamita, which consisted of six hundred volumes, with a total of more than five million words. She didn't know if she could finish it in one night if she really had to read it fr
Chad stopped the movement of his hands, raised his eyes for a moment, and received the cold and hostile warning gaze from Malcolm which scared him and his face slightly pale."No!"He was so frightened that when he swung the branch again.Ethel was in so much pain that she was twitching and was almost at her limit.Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitifully at Micah who was on the side couch and Keith, weakly pleading for help."Micah, Keith, help me ..."Micah looked cold. There was no trace of extra expression on his face for her cry for help.Keith looked at her and listened to the creepy sound. Then he chose to look away and ignored it.Facing with the indifferent brothers, Ethel felt disappointed and smiled contemptuously.Occasionally, she would muffle a few grunts of pain, but still didn't beg for mercy.Whoosh-With the final lashing, the last thick branch in Chad's hand was broken.He gasped slightly and was a little tired from it. Then he looked back at
Claudia cried by her yelling and was afraid to look at the man in the bed.But Lyra was pulling her hair, and she couldn't escape.The sharp pain in her knees and scalp stimulated her nerves and she screamed. She was on the verge of tearing down her defenses."I'm not wrong! I was just trying to protect myself. It's all your fault Lyra. You caused this!""Reginald deserved what he got! I wouldn't be at Ethel's mercy if he hadn't insisted on giving you the inheritance and pushing me to the impasse!"She and Lyra had never gotten along. And Lyra had said before that once she took the inheritance, Claudia would be thrown out of the Lloyd Manor and she would never live well.Claudia had been pampered in the Lloyd Manor for so many years. If she was kicked out, it was equivalent to sentence her to death. She had no ability to survive alone and she was not going to survive! But it would be different if Ethel took the inheritance and she could still be Mrs. Lloyd in the future.She was not w
Collin's face instantly turned pale and he was dumbfounded by Lyra's words.He didn't expect that Malcolm would give her all his property and shares for Rara, regardless of the honor and interest of the entire White Corp family.It was really ironic and funny."I'm sorry."In addition to these three words, he seemed to explain more, but all seemed to be useless.Lyra wiped away her tears and felt disappointed for Collin."Even if you don't do any of these things, it's your connivance that allows Ethel to be so reckless. Because you shield and hide the truth about her victimizing me, it makes me to live in exile in Frayton when I was fifteen and suffer for six years in the Freeman family.""This injury can't be offset by a sentence that you have punished her heavily and made her have no jobs for six months!""On the Crane Bay Bridge in Frayton, she teamed up with Caden and got forty killers on the black market to kill me, forcing me to jump into the cold water!""In Frayton's Fantalure
In the garden, the guests' murmurs were louder, because what Lyra had said had a lot of information!In response to all the questions, Lyra glanced at Collin who was on the stage and said seriously."Collin, this is a family matter. If you don't want the Lloyd Group's stock to plummet tomorrow, or the Lloyd family to be in the headlines tomorrow with all sorts of tidbits, clear the scene immediately and do as I say!"Under the spotlight, her starry eyes stared at Collin with coolness.The guests and media on the scene got more excited, and their discussion intensified.Keith rose first to help control the scene. With his presence, the media and journalists made a fool of themselves and soon left, and the guests also left one after another under Micah's reassurance. Harvey, who was holding the documents on the stage, looked confused and looked around in confusion.Malcolm noticed that and winked at Chad and Fifteen. Both of whom quickly took the stage and directly took Harvey away from
When they saw Micah come out, everyone gathered around.Keith asked nervously, "Micah, how's it going?"Micah lowered his head and did not say a word. His face looked flat, so that they couldn't guess whether the test result was good or bad.Seeing this expression on his face, everyone was heart-wrenching.Lyra said resignedly, "Micah, just say it. Any outcome won't be much worse than now. I can take it."Micah remained silent and walked up to Lyra. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and hugged her tightly.His ever-cold and arrogant face had a rare smile, "Rara, my most precious sister. You're the Lloyd family's most honored daughter!" Once he said these words, everyone instantly fell relieved.Only Malcolm, who looked sullen, separated the two from each other in an embrace and took back his petite fiancee with him arms. "You're adults. Pay attention to the intimacy. Don't just hug like that.""You!" Lyra helplessly gazed at the jealous Malcolm. Her small hand quietly reached i
Seeing that it was Micah at the door, Lyra and Malcolm looked at each other. Obviously, neither of them didn't expect that it would be him. Micah's body was too wet.He was reluctant to go in and wet the carpet. So he was still standing by the door, and his usually cool eyes locked on Lyra.Lyra didn't quite understand. Remembering what happened at the Lloyd family the other day, she asked icily, "Why do you come over here without an umbrella? Is it an emergency?"Micah adjusted his breathing before saying, "Rara, I haven't come to you for the past few days because I was being watched. Tomorrow is the return party, so I have to get rid of the surveillance and sneak over."Lyra's heart softened for a moment and she turned her head to Malcolm, "Get Micah a thick bath towel and make some ginger tea.""OK."With a thick bath towel, Micah wrung the water from his body until it was half dry before entering the living room.Malcolm went to make ginger tea, and Lyra sat on the couch."Micah,
Ethel's face froze.After a while, she could only reluctantly lower her head, "Yes.""Good girl! That's what the daughter of Lloyd family is supposed to be." Keith smiled and stroked her head.After stroking her head perfunctorily, he took the lead and turned his head away, saying resentfully, "Change your clothes back. Your face is injured. You should not be able to choose today. We can come here another day."...Lyra made her way out of the shopping district.It wasn't until she got into the car that she opened her bag again and took out a small note.This was what Keith forced into her right hand when he was helping her just now.Unfolding the note, it contained only one sentence.[Give me some time.]Lyra's brows furrowed as she gazed silently at the nice handwriting.Why should he be given time?Did he find something and was he quietly investigating?As she was thinking about it, her phone rang and it was Malcolm's calling.Once the phone was connected, his voice sounded slightl
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
