Malcolm's dark eyes lifted and gave him a cold look, picking up a task list on the table and throwing it at him.He didn't move, and the paper pamphlet fell lightly onto his stomach and then slid to the floor."Look at it first."Shane, who was puzzled, bent down and picked up the task list and turned it over carefully."This is my record for the last three months of missions. What do you mean?"Malcolm put the cigarette on the table, and scolded him seriously, "Your attendance in the last month is obviously less than half of the previous two months. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Shane knew he was looking for a trouble, so he could only bear the anger and explained, "Because my sister is sick, so I came home to be with her from time to time some time ago.""Excuse."With a stern scolding, Malcolm picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it against his forehead.The moment when the ashtray flew over, Shane's body almost instinctively reacted to dodge it.The ashtray brus
Shane's jaw stiffened slightly and his face turned wan.With over five hundred push-ups as a start, he was now a little sore and weak.With more than four hours to go before the end of the day, what the hell was Malcolm going to do?Malcolm observed his nervous expression, snorted, and ordered in a deep voice, "Spread your feet apart, shoulder-width apart. One hour in a horse stance. Execute it immediately."Just a horse stance?"Yes."Shane was relieved and did as he was told, squatting in a standard horse stance.With the hot wind blowing next to him and sweat pouring down his cheeks, Shane didn't say a word, breathed steadily and counted the minutes silently.Malcolm stared at him for a moment, said nothing, walked around him, and headed over to the back shelves of books.Shane didn't dare turn around, couldn't see what Malcolm was doing, but could clearly hear Malcolm's military boots stomping on the wooden floor. From near to far, and from far to near.When he returned again, Mal
Rebecca was very upset to be controlled, "You're in charge of me?"With Shane's orders, the bodyguards were not afraid at all and had a tough attitude."Miss Rebecca, Miss Melissa's well-being is your mission on this trip. I'm just kindly reminding you of it.""Who the hell are you? I need you to remind me?"The bodyguards lowered their heads, with their cold and deep voice implying threats, "You are right, but we are ordered by Mr. Shane to protect you. Every word and action of your trip today, we will report to Mr. Shane truthfully when we return."Rebecca was so angry that she wanted to beat them, "You threatened me?"The bodyguards had their heads bow even lower."We don't dare."Although they said they didn't dare to threaten her, the attitude was not respectful at all.Rebecca had never been so angry before, but because of Shane's pressure, she had to hold her tongue and walk towards Eleven who was at the door of Lyre Spiti again."...Eleven, how is Melissa? Is she here? Can I c
The endless torture and oppression was so intense that Shane could hardly breathe.He clenched his fists and unclenched again.The anger inside his heart kept rising, and he was on the verge of outburst.All the physical punishments were former training programs. From beginning to end, except for the teacup that was smashed over, Malcolm did not beat him. Even if he wanted to snitch, he could not find a suitable reason.As he was thinking about it, Malcolm knocked on the desk with his knuckles and reminded coldly, "You have fifteen seconds to hesitate."Shane gasped, and all the thoughts that were in his brain a few seconds ago, vanished into thin air when he heard those words. Quickly walking to the wall, he gritted his teeth, held on to his breath, and stood himself up in a position two steps away from the wall. Being close to the wall was not the same as being up against it.It was to not support himself from the wall, but he completely relied on his arms' force that supported the
Keith was utterly depressed, stared at Malcolm who was fawning at his sister, and had a silent sigh. Chad, even if he saw his boss's petulant look in front of the wife, he had no other emotion but wanted to laugh. Keira was envious, deflated, and silently looked at Chad, the big straight guy next to him. Lyra noticed the varying expressions of several people and smiled awkwardly. Malcolm seemed genuinely upset. His head rested gently on her shoulder, as if asking for comfort. She didn't stop Malcolm from hugging her, reaching out to rub the back of his neck to soothe his inner turmoil habitually. "Don't keep silent. Everyone is almost there. Let's start speaking." Lyra changed the subject. Chad quickly said, "I specifically checked the circumstances of Miss. Melissa, and also consulted several psychiatrists. They all said that she had a rapid change of mood. Her reaction was too strong. In just a few days, she become like this. It's not like she was stimulated badly." Keira no
Shane trudged down to the first floor, where the housekeeper and the servant carefully helped him to the main dining chair.He slowly sat down. His thighs and calves had a sharp pain like pins and needles, and sore and tormented.He just walked downstairs and sat in a chair. His forehead had a thin layer of sweat because of pain and his face was also a little pale.After holding his anger and being stared at all the time, he was so upset that he picked up his spoon and berated, "Eat you breakfast!" Timothy and Rebecca hastily lowered their heads, dutifully picked up their forks, and ate their breakfast in silence.A few minutes of calm passed. Shane looked cold and began to ask questions."Rebecca, did you see Melissa yesterday?"Rebecca was stunned and swallowed the sweet and freshly baked bread in her mouth."No, when I went over there yesterday afternoon, Lyra wasn't at the villa and Melissa wasn't there either. I don't know where they went, so I came back."Snap-The moment she fi
Rebecca looked at her with confusion."Lyra, are you kidding me? How could Shane have imprisoned my mom, much less injected her with any drugs?""You don't know her well. My mom has a strange temper, and usually doesn't like to go out. Occasionally she must attend some activities and only reluctantly be invited by Shane.""Usually, she never cares about us. She's just pretty aloof anyway. And she only listens to Shane."Lyra sighed softly and patiently explained to her, "Doesn't it seem strange to you precisely because your mother only listens to Shane?""This..." Rebecca looked at her dumbfounded.She continued, "Melissa and Keith have been in a relationship for over a year. They're basically stable, but, she acknowledged the Barker family's engagement in public at the return party and became unaware of me, nor Keith, only Shane. Thinking about your mother's situation, do you feel it similar or not?"Rebecca went mute and recalled carefully.Every time when her mother appeared in a f
In addition to the pair of blue-colored noble eyes, they could not find a trace of youngster from the man's face. His skin was also much rougher than before, and he even had a beard, like an exotic middle-aged man.It seemed that he experienced a lot, and looked older.However, when looking at Lyra, his eyes were still drenched with tenderness and doting."Rara, it's been a long time."Lyra froze in place, staring at him.Almost a year had passed. She did not expect to see Anthony again. He had changed, and seemed to be much more mature and stable.After sizing him up for a while, she smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Callahan."Anthony was slightly surprised. Because of the way she addressed him, he glanced behind her at Malcolm and understood.He gently reached out and said expectantly, "After being away for so long, can... we have a hug?"Lyra didn't answer, but looked back at Malcolm.Malcolm bowed his head and did not make a statement. No one could see his look.In fro
Anthony, who was on the other end of the phone, noticed that her mood was not right, smiled gently and coaxed, "Rara, don't worry. Spencer and Momo are very good. Spencer has finished his injection and didn't cry. Momo seems to be a little bit timid, but I hold her and she's quiet."Lyra looked at Momo's aggrieved expression, and her heart ached like a twinge. She endured it before saying, "Thanks.""No problem."Anthony laughed and his blue eyes looked fascinated.These bright blue eyes only glowed with a shimmer when they saw Lyra.Malcolm watched the interaction between the two.The heart abruptly had a dull pain. He suppressed the sour feeling on his nose and silently went to the side to pack suitcases.Lyra didn't pay much attention to Anthony at all and was preoccupied with the babies.In the video, the doctor had prepared the syringe, hidden the needle and coaxed Momo.But Momo was very resourceful and seemed to have guessed that she was going to be given a shot. Her nose was w
High fever?Lyra gasped and her expression instantly turned grave. And then she turned her head to go out, "Buy a ticket immediately and go back to our country.""Honey, take it easy for a minute."Malcolm took her wrist and said methodically, "It's late at night over in Crana. There's no private plane that can be transferred this time, so there's not always a flight back home at night. Even if there is, the plane will take more than 20 hours to get there."Lyra gave him a cold look, "So you're just going to sit there and wait? Malcolm, you're really not worried when our babies get feverish and sick because we're not around?"She shook off his hand and walked outside the venue.Malcolm let out a long sigh and rushed to catch up, "I was wrong this time. Our babies are sick and I was in a hurry, but it is really too far for us to go back. So I have already called Anthony to let him know, and have Chad go to the medical team of White family to call in the pediatrician."He walked side by
In the anticipation of all the guests, Nil took the microphone, "After the group's deliberation, the Lloyd's Corp of Crana won the bid for this project. Congratulations." Applause erupted from the venue.Some people felt lost. Some exclaimed, and some admired.Lyra and Malcolm were the most calm ones, because this result was not unexpected.Midst a round of applause, Lyra stood up gracefully and bow slightly to all the guests at the scene, being courteous and polite.She stepped onto the red carpet, took a step onto the stage and shook hands with Nil in front of everyone, signaling a happy collaboration.The media gathered around the two who were shaking hands and took photos of them.Lyra's expression was appropriate and her temperament was elegant and generous.At this point in the bidding process, it was basically over.The groups that were not selected had to return without any success.But to their surprise, Nil announced another piece of good news before announcing the end of th
With Malcolm's personality, he was definitely not talking about work.Lyra raised her hand angrily and flicked him hard on the side of his head."This is a work thing. Be decent."Malcolm frowned and rubbed his painful forehead, employing a rebound tactic, "This is obviously decent. It's you who's thinking out of the box."Lyra was confused.Could it be that she was impure?She raised her hand again and flicked Malcolm's forehead again, accusing him righteously, "I am misled by you. You're making erotic statements all day long."It was always his fault. Malcolm conceded, lowered his head, listened docilely but did not open his mouth.Seeing his obedience, Lyra gave him a kiss. Remembering the half-hour delay in the opening of the tender meeting, she asked curiously, "After all, Nil Grey is the first heir of Atria and paramount and powerful. What did you tell him?"Malcolm had a mysterious expression, "Do you really want to know?"Lyra nodded her head.His handsome face had rare expres
Meeting his gaze, Melissa raised her simple and bright eyes and opened her mouth to explain."I think I may not be suitable for the actor industry. I don't want to be an actress. I want to go back and think about how to start my life and re-elect a suitable path for myself."Keith breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, as long as it was not a withdrawal, break-up, and leaving him, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would do his best to help her."Okay, I promise you. Don't worry. I won't force you to make a choice. You are now 21 years old at heart and have absolutely no acting experience. You certainly have the opportunity to choose your career path again."He stretched out his palm towards Melissa. His eyes were gentle, and the bass was nice and pleasing to ears, "I'll take care of the crew. You're tired today. Let me take you back to rest, okay?"Melissa stared at his broad palm for a while.Keith was patient, waiting quietly for her to think about it and give a reply.Me
Lyra and Malcolm smiled at each other and looked at each other with love in their eyes."They are all here to visit the museum. Do you want to go over and talk? Get acquainted for a few minutes?" Lyra asked with a smile.Malcolm looked across the exhibition hall, "Since Mr. Hoare is also enjoying with his girlfriend, he must not want us to disturb them. Or should we wait until they finish browsing that exhibition area and then go over?"Lyra nodded her head in agreement.She didn't like socializing, let alone interrupting their sweet time because of it.She thought Mr. Hoare and Anne didn't like it as well, so it was better not to disturb them.A brief interlude did not stop the two from visiting the Great Museum.Lyra and Malcolm waited for Paul Hoare and Anne in front of them to finish each time before moving on to the next show.Strolling around, this was the largest museum exhibition in Atria, and the afternoon of fun passed quickly.By the time the two emerged from the museum, th
Would be able to have sex?Malcolm's dark eyes glowed with excitement.As long as they could have sex, anything was fine.It was just crying in front of his wife. There was nothing to be ashamed of!He bit his lower lip, forced his eyes redden, looked back at her and admitted being defeated softly."Honey, I'm sorry. Next time I will never make a fool of myself. Don't beat me. My ass is swollen."Lyra lowered her eyes and looked at the wound behind him.The skin was indeed swollen and red with the water droplets.She admired her masterpiece," Mel, your butt looks even better. It's called the quick butt augmentation method. Top quality and excellent service." Malcolm was speechless.He suppressed the evil intent in his heart and asked, "I've given in. Shouldn't you keep your promise and let's do it?"Lyra put down the bath brush and nodded.The moment the weapon wasn't there, her wrist was clutched by Malcolm and pulled under the shower.The aggressive could no longer be concealed."Ra
Lyra hummed twice with arrogance, "Then we'll see."They were looking at each other with a strong desire to conquer.Crana was a long way from Atria, more than 20 hours by plane.With Malcolm's company, Lyra wasn't lonely at all on this trip.The two leaned over the plane window and watched the first rays of sunlight.And they watched the mountains with clouds stacked up.And they also saw the extremely beautiful sunset glow.Lyra pointed to the clouds in the sky that was flushed with purple and red, playfully smiling and teasing Malcolm."Do you like that color? When we get off the plane and check into the hotel, I'll give you a coat of fuchsia on your skin, okay?"Malcolm wrapped his arm around her waist, "It must hurt. You sound cruel but you definitely can't do that to me."Lyra tilted her head and placed a shallow kiss on his chin to represent her answer.Indeed, she couldn't be that cruel.Although it was Malcolm's disobedience that led to the exotic honeymoon this time, what wa
Lyra did not need to think and immediately knew which mysterious gentleman the stewardess was talking about.She sighed helplessly.She didn't expect a good low-key trip to be made so grand by Malcolm."First class is not necessary. Thanks for that gentleman's kindness. I purchased business class after all. I only sit in my own seat." She shook the plane ticket in her hand to the stewardess, while walking towards the cabin.The stewardess looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Lyra had already walked away.She had no choice but to call and report the matter to the mysterious gentleman.Lyra found the seat she had purchased in the empty cabin.She stayed up late last night revising the project, and had sex with Malcolm most of the night, so she could barely sleep.She was used to catching up on sleep on the plane. As she just sat down in her seat, she asked for a small blanket from the stewardess.She put her knees up, turned her phone off, and lie down to fall asleep in s
