Thinking of this, Charlotte got anxious. She quickly changed into an all-dark outfit, put on the face mask, and took a taxi straight to the place.Melvin came out of the bathroom after showering, and he couldn't get the video of Lyra dancing 'Lover' out of his head.He was a bit vexed. Had he known that he would be the one tired out, he would not have helped her this time.Lying in the bed, all he could see was Lyra's face whenever he closed his eyes, especially the pair of starry eyes, clean and stubborn, making you hard to forget once you've seen them. Also... they looked familiar.Having thought of something, Melvin hesitated for a while before giving Lyra a call.There were things he wanted to ask for clarification.First call, no answer.The second call, it said that the number was not in service.She hated him that much?Melvin felt inexplicably annoyed and tossed his phone to the side, trying to sleep....Charlotte took a taxi to the abandoned hut on the outskirts.Katrina was
The woman's wail in the hut gradually weakened, and at the same time rang out the arrogant laughter of men."Lyra!"Melvin's eyes were flaming with wrath, and he kicked open the door of the hut with extreme force.The men inside were just about to get down to business when Melvin interrupted their fun.The two sides quickly got into a fight.This group of men had been gangsters for a long time, so they were ruthless in fights. Melvin and Fred got bruises on their face. Nevertheless, Melvin's strong killing intent drove him to kick and punch more mercilessly than the gang.In less than ten minutes, the group of men were scattered here and there, lying on the ground moaning in pain, no longer able to fight back.The room was still very dark, mixed with the sound of a woman vomiting blood and coughing."Lyra?!"Melvin followed the sound and found the sapless woman on the ground, and he carried her out across the room.Fred received a few more kicks from the opposite side during the fight
In the small hours.Charlotte was taken to the hospital.The doctor's initial diagnosis was: two broken ribs, a mild concussion, and numerous wounds of different sizes, but fortunately no critical damage. Melvin sat alone on the bench outside the operating room, lost in his own thoughts.After the accident, he asked Fred to notify the Matthews family.Jamie and Katelyn, however, didn't arrive until dawn."Alas, my poor daughter. Why should this happen to her!"Katelyn's crying voice could be heard from a distance in the corridor, she didn't shed a single drop of tear, but even seemed to be gloating about it.On the contrary, Jamie walked up to Melvin with a sad face. Seeing Melvin's solemn expression, he said a few words to comfort Melvin.Melvin didn't respond to Jamie's comforting, but just politely said, "Uncle, Aunt, please have a seat."Jamie was not satisfied with his reply, "Mr. Freeman, I'm asking you as a father. What on earth happened, and how did Lottie get hurt like this?
On each banner there was a sentence, and the upper one read, "STEW IN YOUR OWN JUICE."The lower one said, "SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT."The meaning was obvious!Charlotte was so angry that her eyes were flaming intense hatred and her whole body began to ache.Jamie's face also turned sullen after reading it.Only Katelyn couldn't help snickering, feeling extremely satisfied.However, when she laughed, the two people in the ward instantly turned their eyes to her, and Charlotte's face even turned purple from anger.Katelyn's smile froze and she hurriedly adjusted her expression."Ahem, this woman was outrageous. She clearly doesn't respect we Matthews family. Honey, if you don't teach her a lesson, there's no telling what she'll do that's even more shocking!" Just as she spoke, there was a knock on the door of the ward.A man in overalls gently pushed open the door and asked, "Excuse me, is this Miss Charlotte Matthews' ward?"The three in the ward looked at each other and Katelyn ask
Fred had just come out of the smoking room when he heard several nurses running and complaining."What's with that young lady of the Matthews family. Doesn't she need to recuperate quietly? How could she be so hysterical! We certainly has our work cut out." Fred stopped a nurse and asked, "Who did you just say, the young lady of the Matthews family?""How many other young ladies of the Matthews' can afford to stay in the VIP ward?"The nurse shook off his hand and ran away.Fred had a bad feeling in his heart.He had been with Melvin since he first started working for the Freeman group, at least seven or eight years. He had no family nor friends, but Melvin gave him the job.And Charlotte was the first person who smiled at him and the first person who said she was friends with him.To him, Melvin was family, and Charlotte was someone more than family that he wanted to guard.He was fond of Charlotte, but he could only hide this feeling in his heart and bless her.But now, seeing that
"Well, just average."Rachel sounded modest, but smugness was written all over her face. "Let me introduce to you. This is my boyfriend Louis Dillon, the Deputy General Manager of the Business Department of Cloudbound. Oh, he earned 800,000 a year."She deliberately emphasized the last few sentences, and Louis smiled proudly with that big gold tooth exposed.She was waiting to see Lyra's face, expecting to satisfy her own vanity.But Lyra only looked indifferent.This exasperated Rachel. Lyra had always loved to pretend, putting on that aloof look all the time. Rachel wanted to rip that mask off her!"I heard you got divorced?"Rachel said, sizing her up and down. Seeing Lyra in what seemed to be office uniform, she snickered, "You're a saleswoman here? It's only been a few years, and you've become like this?"Lyra stared at her like she was looking at a fool, and she replied with a half smile, "I came to buy a car."She then withdrew her gaze, turned her head and went inside to start
That pure white suit against the fiery red Porsche 911, it formed a sharp color contrast, but unexpectedly harmonious. What a fascinating scene.It made people want to sincerely exclaim that, beautiful car is for the beautiful people!But this harmony was soon disrupted by someone's laughter.Rachel was originally angry, but Lyra's words amused her, "You?" As she spoke, she turned to look at the logo of the store beside. It was Porsche. She laughed even louder after totally convinced that this was all fake."Lyra, you are still fond of pretending as always. But please take a look at where you're standing, ok? If you are the owner of this Porsche 4S store, then I'm the big boss of Ferrari!"Louis thought it was impossible, too, and he laughed along with Rachel, while his gaze on Lyra grew more and more blatant.Lyra was still leaning against the car, the corners of her mouth slightly raised up, "I am indeed not the owner of this store."Rachel smiled smugly and just waited for Lyra to
Rachel was stunned by her cold and scornful gaze.Before she had time to get angry again, she saw Lyra take out her cell phone and started to read something out unhurriedly, "Rachel Collier, employee of Cloudbound. During your five years in the company, you secretly dated other supervisors many times behind the back of Mr. Louise Dillon here, the Deputy General Manager of Business Department. And you also took advantage of the business trips to hook up with numerous clients. Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so capable.""Shut up!"Rachel's original arrogance was immediately weakened a bit already, "You have no evidence. This is slander! I can sue you for defamation.""Hold on, I'm not done yet."Lyra continued to read with interest the information on her phone, "Also, you've embezzled more than 20,000 dollars. This little habit of yours remains unchanged since you were out of the orphanage. Am I right? This money is not enough to send you to jail, but if your company finds out..."She g
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
