last update Last Updated: 2025-01-26 07:14:50

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

    "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

    Lyra's pupils dilated, "Melissa's missing?""Yes. And this is not an ordinary default withdrawal. There must be something wrong. Melissa is in very good state before the recording of the show and is getting along with the other contestants. So it's impossible for her to suddenly leave without saying anything.""I know. Continue the show filming first. Keep it quiet. Feel free to contact me if there's anything else."Lyra calmly arranged, "I will start to investigate this matter. Steady them."She hung up the phone and frowned tightly. After thinking about it, she dialed the phone number that was at the bottom of her phone's address book."Boss?"The person on the other side was very surprised and stuttered, "Is it really you?""It's me." Lyra answered very succinctly.The man on the other side immediately got excited, and even through the receiver, she could feel the man's shock and joy."Boss, you haven't contacted us for six or seven years. Is it something important this time? Darkb

    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

    It had been a long time since she had not been so cold to him.Lyra didn't say anything.Because of this incident, she still felt her heart palpitating.If Keira hadn't told her this in time, if she hadn't let the driver run a red light all the way back to the hall furiously, and if the eighty times of whipping really happened, she did not dare to imagine how Malcolm would be injured.The last time when Travis was punished, she still remembered it to this day.As long as she arrived there a little late and Malcolm got two lashes, she could have been heartbroken. But why did he not care about himself?He had forgotten the promise he made to her before so quickly?If she didn't really teach him a good lesson, he would have this concealed injury thing happen again!She mulled it over seriously, took his hand, and went all the way upstairs.Malcolm felt the chill and followed her into the room without a word."Just stand here."She pointed to the carpet at the end of the bed.Although he

    At the door, there was a gentle smile on Lyra's delicate face. Her chest was rising and falling incessantly, which was caused by a violent gasp after a wild running.The old White froze and didn't say anything.Albert immediately reacted and went around to the old White and pleaded, "Dad, Miss Lyra is involved in this matter. Please don't leave first. We can listen to what she has to say first. Maybe there is something that we don't know?"Lyra smiled with curved eyebrows. Her face was extremely pleasing to the elders.The old White stared at her and agreed.Malcolm, who was still kneeling on one knee in the middle of the hall, actually had no confidence to be able to endure the punishment.All his attention was focused on his back. He was concentrating on waiting to the pain, so he didn't even hear Lyra's voice at the door.He had been waiting for a while. What fell on his back was not the harsh and vicious whip of the family rule, the shirt and suit that he had just taken off and re

    "Okay, got it."Malcolm's tone sounded calm. What should come always had to come. But if Lyra knew it, she would probably feel unhappy for a while...Thinking about this, he immediately instructed Chad, "Call Keira over and have her accompany Rara on her pregnancy test. Don't say anything more to Rara.""Yes."Chad immediately took out his phone and messaged Keira.Within two minutes, Keira came up from the garage.She was Chad's little follower. Chad was busy with various investigations these days. Keira had to follow all the way every time, and then obediently wait in the car for him.Once Keira arrived, Malcolm looked serious and instructed her in a serious manner, "If Rara asks later, tell her that White Corp had an urgent business and I need to go the office." "Oh, okay."After the arrangement, Malcolm immediately left with Chad.The two of them returned to the White Manor in a short time.Malcolm lowered his head and quietly thought about something the whole way.When he reached

    Lyra's eyes instantly went cold.She smiled sarcastically as she remembered what happened yesterday at the Lloyd Manor."Even you don't believe this test, my brothers who have loved me for more than twenty years believe it. It's really ridiculous to think about it.""As for your advice about having Micah come here ....," the sarcasm of her tone intensified, "he is the first to believe it when he saw the report with the president's signature yesterday." Now throughout the Lloyds, she trusted no one.Irene was secretly released and went to her opening ceremony. Before she left, she yelled at her and taunted, "The one in your family has been pretending to be an innocent sheep around you for so long. I'm really looking forward to the day when you see his true face!""It must be hard to be betrayed by the one you love so much! Lyra Lloyd! I'm waiting for the day when you know the truth and fall apart!"Previously, she thought that Irene was slandering Malcolm.Now when she thought about it

    Lyra burst into laughter and proudly held out her right hand to Malcolm."You must think it clearly. There is no regret it later. If you dare to bully me in the future, I will not spare you." "Okay, wash board and ruler stand by for you."Lyra was amused by him. The sadness half an hour ago completely fade away in his a gentle reassurance.Her whole heart seems to be immersed in a honey pot, which was so sweet that she can not help but smile.Malcolm took her hand, decisively put that ring on her and continued, "Wear my diamond ring and be my woman." "Rara, you can't escape in your lifetime."He cupped her hand. His soft and thin lips gently kissed the back of her hand. Then he got up and carried her on his arms."Wait."Lyra looked at the green roses under the tree, "Can't waste such beautiful flowers. Why don't we have the bodyguards cut them and put them in vases in each room?" "It's up to you."He lowered his head, kissed her on the mouth and went inside the villa.Lyra was still

    "Replaced?"Malcolm laughed and snorted lightly. And he glanced sharply and sarcastically at her, "Are you trying to say you will replace her? But you, are you worthy?"Ethel's face turned completely cold."Mr. Malcolm, I hope that when Lyra's identity as an illegitimate daughter is made public, you will also choose to marry her with determination, regardless of the fact that White Corp's stock will plummet." She smiled and gave a condescending laugh. Then she turned her head and walked away.Chad watched her back as she got in a car and left. He spat and gritted his teeth, "As if she isn't an illegitimate daughter herself!""Oh my temper! Why the hell does she have to be so supercilious?""Keira is also only nineteen years old, but her scheming seems cute. Why is Ethel so disgusting!?"Chad was indignant and cursed for a long time, struggling to quell his anger.Malcolm just let him do so and calmly helped Lyra arrange, "For Rara and Clark's paternity test, I'll leave it to you to ha

    Keith was momentarily dumbfounded and could only look to Micah, "Micah, can you?"Micah got up, got the test report on the coffee table and carefully examined it.At the end of the report, it was written, "the parent-child relationship is not supported", along with the official seal of Suham Hopevale General Hospital and the signature of the president."The president of Hopevale General Hospital is Mr. Hall. He is my teacher. He has always had a good relationship with dad. He personally signed it... It can't be false."It was not false?These words hit Keith and Kathleen's hearts hard.Claudia was delighted and did not hide her feelings at all.Lyra didn't pay any attention to the paternity test. She just looked at Collin, who was on the main couch and had deep eyes and didn't say anything. "Collin, you don't seem surprised. You already knew it?"Collin: "Not really early to know. After dad's accident, I'm the first to arrive. I immediately looked up the cause and knew it at most a fe

    The old man in the bed was peaceful, calm and unresponsive.Lyra knew there was no way he would react.Micah gave a diagnosis that could not be wrong.However, she just wasn't willing to accept it and wanted to make sure.The tip of her nose was sore and unbearable. Her eyes became watery, and the intense sadness overwhelmed her. Her tears dripped uncontrollably onto the back of her hand. "They are simply not human!"She whispered. Her eyes gradually looked ruthless.In order to get the inheritance from her, this person did such bad deeds to her father.This time, even if it was her blood relative, someone she loved or revered, she would never forgive that person!"Dad, don't worry. I will give you an account for this matter. No matter who did it, I won't let them go off!"Lyra stroked the back of his hand and rested her head on his arm. Her tears were flowing silently into her hair. And she could remember Reginald had given her so much fatherly love all the years. "Miss Lyra."Dougla
