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 the way. This bitch just yelled at me!" Her face was glowing with anger. Thinking that it was a real divorce, she then burst into laughter, "But great! You are finally divorced. She's just a unknown woman picked up from the orphanage. How can she be worthy of my excellent son? She should have been kicked out long ago ..." Melvin pursed his lips. His mood was exact opposite of Fiona's exuberance. There was even ... a touch of inexplicable irritation and guilt. Before this, he originally thought that Lyra would not easily agree to divorce, so he prepared three million dollar compensation and a villa in advance. But this time it was her initiative, and she did not take any compensation from him. After the divorce, she had no money and no relatives around her. How was she going to live in the future? Anyway, when she was driven desperate, she might always come to him. … Lyra took a taxi back to the villa where she and Melvin lived alone. This place was full of the suffering of the past three years. The memories were so overwhelming that she didn't want to bring them up again. Through a small garden in front of the villa, she went upstairs to pack her luggage. After packing up, she didn't want to stay in the villa for a second. However, just after she walked down to the first floor, a person in the hall turned back and looked at her. It was Charlotte in a snow-white dress. She was smiling warmly, "Lyra, it's been a long time." Lyra froze slightly, as if she didn't expect to see Charlotte here. They just divorced and Melvin had given Charlotte the key to the villa. So she was ready to move in? He really loved Charlotte. Lyra just felt disgusted in her heart and smiled as she walked gracefully down the stairs. Seeing her uncompromising manner, Charlotte paused and then smiled again, "Lyra, it's only been a few years, and you're getting more and more like Mrs. Freeman." "Oops, I said the wrong thing." Charlotte covered her mouth with her hands and smiled awkwardly, "I forgot that you divorced Melvin. You are no longer Mrs. Freeman." Knowing that she came here to play tough, Lyra was not angry and had a dashing smile on her face. "I'm just tired of Melvin. If you like him, I'll give you then. But don't be too anxious. You look like you're a mistress." Hearing these words, the smile on Charlotte's face quickly faded and she scowled at Lyra. "Melvin and I love each other very much. If it wasn't for you, he and I would have been together long ago. You're the mistress. You should be scorned!" Lyra gave her a sarcastic look, "You'll soon find out who is the mistress." After saying that, she did not intend to stay. She walked around Charlotte and was about to leave when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand. She turned around and saw Charlotte whose expression was pitiful and her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, as if she had suffered a great deal of grievance. "Lyra, I'm sorry. I've always treated you like my good friend. I just wanted to come and see you. I am kind. I didn't know you guys got divorced. I really didn't mean anything else. Don't be mad at me, okay?" "You're two-faced?" She snorted and was about to shake off Charlotte's hand. However, Charlotte suddenly lent her movement and fell softly to the ground while screaming in agony. If someone could look at them from a distance from behind, it looked like it was Lyra who pushed Charlotte to the ground. Oh, it was interesting. Lyra coldly watched this self-directed drama. If she was right, would Melvin be happened to be back and probably stand at the door watching now? As expected, she heard a sudden sound of rage behind her. "What are you doing!?"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'
The receptionist sized her up again to make sure she didn't look like some celebrities who depended on their appearances."How can you be a client? 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
All of the employees was astonished!The receptionist Emily just said that she received a woman who was suspected to be Mr. Lloyd's mistress, and the company suddenly had a brokerage director!They had speculated that if this director was the same person as Mr. Lloyd's mistress.However, they were unaware that their company had actually changed its boss.But Lyra called it by a good name of: a personal visit.On the one hand, because she had never handled the behind-the-scenes of the entertainment industry, she was not clear about the business process, and she needed Keith to help her go through all of this. One the other hand, she did not know the company personnel. If she lurked among the staff, and became their colleague, it would be convenient for her to quickly know the personnel situation and to a layoff later!As the suspicions continued, Emily, at the service desk on the ground floor of the Angle Group, was looking at Jalen, the special assistant, who was walking towards her,
Hearing someone call her name, Lyra turned her head to look over. There was no extra expression on her face.She guessed that Melvin and Charlotte would show up, but her heart has been completely dead since Melvin asked her to apologize at the villa. Now Melvin was just an insignificant ex-husband to her.With a decent smile on her face, she took Keith's arm and went up to socialize.Seeing Lyra and Keith coming towards her side, Charlotte was surprised and subconsciously turned her head to look at Melvin beside her.Melvin's eyes had also been on Lyra. He seemed to be shocked, but was still sullen in his eyes.Because of what happened during the day, he felt a little guilty for a while.But she not only changed her appearance in a few hours, but also hooked up with another man?Although it must be said that tonight she was indeed very beautiful, stunningly beautiful, he actually didn't know that his ex-wife could be so stunning after three years of marriage.And could Keith be her ne
"Yes, I hit you. Cause you're too cheap."Lyra rubbed her palm carelessly, and sneered, "It seems that the Freeman family's education is really not very good. 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? What you just said is an insult to me personally. I can sue you.""You!"Sheila's temper sparked. She was hit in the face in public and was accused of being ill-bred. And she and the Freeman family were humiliated.The most crucial thing was that the one who beat her was Lyra, who was bullied by her in the past and was too afraid to say anything!What a disgrace!"Bitch, I gonna kill you!"She rushed over hideously with sinister expression, and reached her hand for Lyra's hair.Keith saw this and quickly took Lyra into his arms and turned his back on Sheila.The other one who was first to protect her was Melvin.He frowned and looked askance at Sh
Lyra was listening to the lively music on the dance floor and was tasting the chocolate mousse made by a seven-star chef from France.Coldly, the man's broad palm broke into her line of sight."This young lady, I wonder if I would have the honor to invite you to a dance?"She raised her head and looked upward along her hand, and saw Melvin's unchanging cold face. Her appetite instantly became less than good.They were looking at each other.Melvin's heart abruptly missed a beat. It was the first time for him to seriously look at Lyra's face. He found that her features were just perfect. Her skin was fair and flawless, making her beyond comparison. It turned out that his ex-wife was really born very beautiful.Especially the eyes, they were like the stars in the sky, which were clear but with stubborn temperament.Unconsciously, Melvin looked dumbfounded.Her eyes gave him an illusion of déjà vu.He was in a daze when he saw Lyra suddenly smile sarcastically. Her eyes were full of indi
In the garden.Lyra had her arms crossed and stood in front the fountain to get some fresh air.If she didn't come out to get some air, she was probably going to be fainted by the disgusting smell of the banquet hall."Lyra!"A shrill voice suddenly sounded behind.She turned her head and saw that it was Sheila walking towards her, holding her head high."Didn't it hurt enough? Still want me to help you recall it?" She coldly looked back and her tone was aloof and cold.Sheila was so angry at her words that she wanted to go up and scratch her face, but thinking of her plan, she clenched her hands and held herself back.She took a bank card out of her LV bag and handed it to Lyra with a patronizing tone."There's $300,000 in here. It's yours as long as you promise never to hang around my brother again. Leave Frayton and never come back."Lyra frowned and gave an odd look at the bank card in her hand.A mere $300,000 can't even buy a strand of Lyra Lloyd's hair, and she wanted to buy he
She stared at Malcolm inexplicably."Honey?"Malcolm lowered his face with a jealous aura."Not going to explain about being alone in the nursery with Anthony?"Lyra stared at him with confusion, "Explain for what?"He inhaled deeply. Like a fish-bone getting stuck in the throat, his eyes were red, "You and him, alone in a room. And you guys chatted and laughed. Lyra L..."He was about to call her by her full name when he came to his senses.When they were quarrel and he shouted her name before, he always didn't end well. So, he changed his words quickly."Rara, you have a husband. How can you be alone with a single man? Did ... he do anything excessive to you? 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." Anthony smiled with satisfaction.He always smiled in front of Lyra, and his emotions were always the most genuine.Lyra: "I heard from Rebecca that you got beat up
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
