BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 54: WHAT HAPPENED 13 YEARS AGO
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

Kellie panicked, "Just go to Twitter and see for yourself!""How should I do that? I'm still driving." Lyra frowned, "If it's not important, I'll hang up first. We'll talk about it when I get back to the office.""No, no, no, no! Don't hang up yet!" Kellie was agitated and hurried to stop her, "The news is very bad for you, you can..."Kellie was still chattering away, while Lyra's attention was drawn to the giant LED screen downtown.On the big screen, Katelyn Morgan, the hostess of the Matthews family and Charlotte's nominal mother, was being interviewed outside the ward, snotty and tearful, accusing Lyra of her bad deeds. Lyra got interested, took a look at the time, and found a place to park her car.Anyway, it was still early, so she might as well see what the Matthews family was trying to pull."This ex-wife of Mr. Freeman hung up banners in my daughters' ward to satirize her, and even sent funeral wreaths to curse her to die quickly! How can this woman be so vicious!"Katelyn p
Last Updated : 2025-01-26BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 59: INTERVIEW IN PERSON
"Well done." Despite the compliment, Melvin didn't seem like he actually mean it, his expression unfathomable.He was browsing the files while Fred explained to him, "You asked me to look into the accident of that year, and my investigation found that Miss Matthews' itinerary back then did coincide exactly with the timeline of your car accident. That is to say, there's conclusive proof that Miss Matthews did save your life thirteen years ago."Fred looked at him firmly.As Melvin was carefully flipped through the pages, his eyebrows slightly knitted, but his eyes didn't show any particular emotion."Also, there is one more thing." Fred had a hesitant look on his face."Say it." Melvin gave him a glance that signaled him to continue."I've found more about the incident that happened to Miss Matthews a few days ago, and the results I got are attached to the end of the document."Melvin did as he said and flipped over a few pages to see some photos.He took a closer look at them and his

At the entrance of the Angle Group building.Downstairs there was a huge crowd, including reporters, people "demanding justice", and quite a few onlookers that were drawn to watch the show.Lyra locked the car door and strode toward the company entrance.She was alone, but she exuded an intimidating vibe that there was a large group of supporters following behind her.Reporters had been waiting for a long time. Catching sight of her, they wanted to take this opportunity to interview her, so everyone just scrambled to get near her. They almost thrust their microphones to her face and the shutters were clicking non-stop. This was much bustling and raucous than before in Charlotte's ward."Miss Carroll, have you watched the news this morning? What would you like to say about Miss Matthews' statement on the live interview?""May I ask if what Miss Matthews said is true or not? She claims she's not the homewrecker, so why did you divorce Mr. Freeman? I heard that you didn't get any propert

"What is it?""Where were you on March 14th 13 years ago? Have you ever been to Pinewood Street in Frayton?""I don't remember." Lyra turned her head, still with an attitude of rejection.It'd been so long. How can she still remember?"Okay, then I'll ask you in a different way."Melvin was not angry but continued to ask patiently, "Then do you remember there was a car accident on March 14th 13 years ago? Three people died. Only a little boy sitting at the back of the car survived, and a girl saved him."Why would he ask that?Could that little boy be him?Lyra looked at his searching gaze and a part of her memories was evoked, recalling some fragmented images in a trance.In that year she did save a person, but it was purely by chance.She didn't even take it seriously.Besides, the reason she came to Frayton that year was because of a very important matter, which involved the Lloyd family privacy. And she did not intend to tell it to Melvin, nor did she expect Melvin would continue

BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 185: HE'S NOT SO EASY TO DIE
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!
BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 184: I GIVE YOU MY LIFE, AND YOU GIVE ME BACK MY LOVE
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
BILLIONAIRE LIFE AFTER DIVORCE CHAPTER 179: HE'S NOT PRETENDING TO BE PITIFUL
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
