"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
Melvin didn't say anything but looked at her lividly."Melvin, listen to me ..." Charlotte explained hurriedly, "Don't overthink. I was just chatting with my friend. And it's normal."Her sweat seeped out of her forehead as she wondered how much of her conversation with Irene he had actually heard and simply kept playing dumb."What are you planning to do?"Melvin ignored her explanation and looked ruthless.From his look and cold tone, did he hear it all?Charlotte's right hand subconsciously clenched the corner of the quilt."No, I just chatted with my friend casually. You don't believe me?"Melvin didn't pay attention to her pitiful expression, and his sharp eyes seemed to pierce her like a knife, "You should know clearly that even if you don't say anything, I can still send someone to investigate. But at that time, you won't have a chance."He rubbed his wristwatch. From his expression, no one could tell whether he was angry or not, but it made Charlotte more alarmed instead.She
Peter grunted disdainfully and replied by patting on his chest, "It's just Kawa's apprentice, not Kawa herself. I can kill her in seconds in less than three moves!"He once achieved a national championship in boxing, which was why he was hired as a bodyguard by the Frazier group at a high price.After having his assurance, Irene was slightly relieved.She raised the binoculars and continued to observe the situation inside the cabin.Several large men struggled on the ground and were again subdued by Lyra.One of the kidnappers next to her grabbed a knife and tried to sneak up on her, but Lyra grabbed his wrist with agility and knocked him to the ground with a shoulder throw.She grabbed his hands, clipped them behind his back and kicked him in the crook of the knees."Want to sneak attack? You don't have the qualification even if you practice for a few more years."The strength in her hands increased a few. The kidnapper bared his teeth in pain and kept begging her for mercy.Irene wa
"What?!"The kidnapper didn't expect her to ask this off-topic question suddenly and didn't realize what happen for a while."I ask, which hand hit her and which foot kicked her?"Lyra said one by one, and smiled with her eyebrows arched.Obviously, the woman in front of him smiled brightly, but the kidnapper leader could feel her vaguely threatening aura, continued to kowtow to beg for mercy, and even slapped himself. "I'm sorry. Beauty! Oh no! Queen! Please let me go!""One last chance."Lyra's eyes narrowed slightly and her face looked a little displeased."Right... right hand, both feet have kicked...,' .," the kidnapper replied while shuddering.Lyra got up and took a barbed stick from the corner of the cabin.Keith knew she was angry and didn't step forward to stop her."Ah!"Soon, the kidnapper's howls of pain echoed through the cabin.Melvin quietly watched the whole process of torturing him with her own hands.Last time he had seen with his own eyes how badly several of Grand
The two stared at each other. Katelyn was defeated and could only grit her teeth in hatred."Fine! I believe you once, but if anything happens to my daughter, I'll kill you, even if I have to risk my life!" Without her standing in the way, Lyra entered the room unhindered and ordered someone to pick up Abigail. With Katelyn's reluctant and worried expression, Abigail was taken away.By the time Lyra returned to Keith's villa, it was at nightfall.The afterglow of the sunset tinged the sky with a gentle orange color, enveloping the entire Frayton in a soft glow.Keith picked a guest room, settled Abigail in, and joined Lyra on the couch to discuss the next steps.Abigail's expression was calm. Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was sleeping peacefully."Her condition looks stable, and all vital signs are normal." Keith took the examination report from his personal doctor and rubbed his chin.Lyra took the report and looked again at Abigail in the bed. Her shapely eyebrows furrowed
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
