CHAPTER 6: AS A COMPENSATION FOR YOU

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-18 23:46:17

Melvin frowned. When did he ever say he wanted to abandon her? Why would she think that?

He was baffled and just wanted to go after her to make things clear but his pant leg was clutched from behind.

"Melvin... I know it's wrong."

Charlotte on the floor raised her miserable little face and softly choked as she explained, "I'm just afraid... afraid that you'll really like Lyra for the three years I've been away. I'm afraid you won't want me ..."

Melvin frowned, looked down and saw her slightly puffy cheeks. His eyes slightly moved, and he reached out to help her up.

"I said I'll give you the status of being my wife. Divorce is a matter of time, and you are too eager this time." His tone softened a bit.

Charlotte grabbed his sleeve and pursed her mouth in aggression, "It's all my fault, but I didn't want to harm anyone. I just used the wrong method, Melvin ... forgive me!"

When he didn't say anything else, she softly leaned into his arms, tentatively revealing her fair shoulder.

Melvin's dark eyes froze and he almost subconsciously pushed her away.

"Melvin!"

Charlotte's eyes got even redder and her gaze stared at him sorrowfully. Was he so resistant to her now?

She was so resigned to it.

Why was it that Lyra could do it last night, and she couldn't even just get close and try!?

"That's enough."

Melvin clutched her hand. His cold and strange eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her askance.

"Lottie, I never thought that you would actually use these tactics and say that kind of sarcastic words too. You used to be very simple."

Charlotte was stunned and realized that she had really pissed him off this time.

Melvin was a man with principles. Once she touched his bottom line, she would only make him more disgusted with her.

"It's not like that! I'm sorry. I really know I'm wrong. I just got confused for a moment. I won't dare to do it again. Melvin, even for the sake of that I saved you years ago, give me a chance to change my ways." When he mentioned the thing years ago, Melvin's eyes flashed back to her resolute and bright eyes. She was so small at that time, but was able to stand up for him.

That was all.

He gradually softened his eyes, "This incident will be treated as if it did not happen. Do not repeat it in the future."

Charlotte was relieved and was about to pout at him when she saw his palm facing up and spreading out in front of her.

"Give me the key."

Her face stiffened and she was just about to argue when she was interrupted by Melvin again, "I know Fred gave you the villa key without my permission. Take it out." Fred was Melvin's assistant and had been with him for years.

Seeing that it had been exposed, Charlotte had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the key.

"Don't come back to this villa in the future. I will let you live in a new place as soon as possible. You must be so tired today. Go back to the hotel and rest."

Without waiting for Charlotte to speak, Melvin directly asked the driver to send her back.

When Charlotte had gone, Fred, who was standing in the garden, entered the living room cautiously and stood in front of Melvin, waiting to hear the lecture. Melvin's dark eyes looked askance at him, and his tone was cold, "You are not in charge of my affairs. Next time, get lost."

"Yes.”

Lyra found the address of Angle Group on the internet and went there directly with her luggage by taxi.

Since she agreed to take over this company, she should come early to get informed and hurry up to finish the handover.

When she arrived at the downstairs of the company, Lyra went up and greeted the receptionist, "Inform your current president that I want to see him."

The receptionist's expression froze on the spot, sizing Lyra up from head to toe.

Although her face looked quite beautiful, what she dressed was likely costed no more than two hundred dollars. She wanted to see the president with that? Shameless! "Do you have an appointment?"

Lyra shook her head, "No."

When the receptionist heard this, she almost laughed out loud, "How dare you come to the Angle Group without an appointment? Who do you think you are?!"

The harsh and unpleasant words made Lyra frown, "Is this how you usually receive clients?"II

    The receptionist sized her up again to make sure she didn't look like some celebrities who depended on their appearances."How can you be a client? Do you know that the president of our Angle Group is worth hundreds of millions of dollars? Are you the kind of person who can get along with him?"Lyra was practically laughing.With her status now, she was afraid that she was way much richer than this Angle Group president. And the receptionist acted like asnob.For this kind of employee, Lyra was also lazy to talk nonsense with her. And her expression was serious, "Make a phone call to your senior. Just say I am here. If the senior does not see me, I’ll bear all the consequences."The receptionist wanted to continue to retort, but was scared by Lyra's cold and sharp gaze that she dared not say anything."That's what you said! Consequences at your own risk!"The receptionist grunted and informed the senior by adding the trimmings, when Lyra looked more and more arrogant.The receptionis

One the other hand, she did not know the company personnel. If she lurked among the staff, and became their colleague, it would be convenient for her to quickly know the personnel situation and to a layoff later!As the suspicions continued, Emily, at the service desk on the ground floor of the Angle Group, was looking at Jalen, the special assistant, who was walking towards her,

Now Melvin was just an insignificant ex-husband to her.With a decent smile on her face, she took Keith's arm and went up to socialize.Seeing Lyra and Keith coming towards her side, Charlotte was surprised and subconsciously turned her head to look at Melvin beside her.Melvin's eyes had also been on Lyra.

    "Yes, I hit you. Cause you're too cheap."Lyra rubbed her palm carelessly, and sneered, "It seems that the Freeman family's education is really not very good. The daughter they teach is only full of shit.""Also, what's wrong with married people? Is there a rule that married people are not allowed to participate? Is your brother not married? What you just said is an insult to me personally. I can sue you.""You!"Sheila's temper sparked. She was hit in the face in public and was accused of being ill-bred. And she and the Freeman family were humiliated.The most crucial thing was that the one who beat her was Lyra, who was bullied by her in the past and was too afraid to say anything!What a disgrace!"Bitch, I gonna kill you!"She rushed over hideously with sinister expression, and reached her hand for Lyra's hair.Keith saw this and quickly took Lyra into his arms and turned his back on Sheila.The other one who was first to protect her was Melvin.He frowned and looked askance at Sh

Her appetite instantly became less than good.They were looking at each other.Melvin's heart abruptly missed a beat. It was the first time for him to seriously look at Lyra's face. He found that her features were just perfect. Her skin was fair and flawless, making her beyond comparison. It turned out that his ex-wife was really born very beautiful.Especially the eyes, they were like the stars in the sky, which were clear but with stubborn temperament.Unconsciously, Melvin looked dumbfounded.Her eyes gave him an illusion of déjà vu.He was in a daze when he saw Lyra suddenly smile sarcastically.

    In the garden.Lyra had her arms crossed and stood in front the fountain to get some fresh air.If she didn't come out to get some air, she was probably going to be fainted by the disgusting smell of the banquet hall."Lyra!"A shrill voice suddenly sounded behind.She turned her head and saw that it was Sheila walking towards her, holding her head high."Didn't it hurt enough? Still want me to help you recall it?" She coldly looked back and her tone was aloof and cold.Sheila was so angry at her words that she wanted to go up and scratch her face, but thinking of her plan, she clenched her hands and held herself back.She took a bank card out of her LV bag and handed it to Lyra with a patronizing tone."There's $300,000 in here. It's yours as long as you promise never to hang around my brother again. Leave Frayton and never come back."Lyra frowned and gave an odd look at the bank card in her hand.A mere $300,000 can't even buy a strand of Lyra Lloyd's hair, and she wanted to buy he

As long as you voluntarily remove your name from the Freeman family and get out, this money is yours. How about that? Are you excited? This is several times more than what you offered!""You!"Sheila was so angry that her chest was heaving and her eyes were red with anger. This bitch dared to hit her face with money!And she taunted her with what she just said!"You're a sleeping-around whore! Bitch! How dare you show off with the money from sleeping with men! Ah!

Her face was red because of it, and she pointed her finger at Lyra with indignation for several times, but could not utter a word.Seeing this situation, Charlotte looked at Lyra with disappointment and said painfully, "Lyra, Sheila is your half sister. Although she just spoke badly in front of the hotel, she apologized. How can you retaliate against her like this?""She's just a young girl. Lyra, you used to be so kind. Why did you do this?"Her statement led to the conflict that it was Lyra's intentional retaliation.Sheila nodded her head furiously, coughing and crying, which was so pitiful.The crowd began to whisper. After all, the victim was the Freeman family's daughter. Unanimously, they were in favor of Sheila, and followed Charlotte to accuse Lyra.Melvin didn't make a statement, always looking at Lyra with a sullen gaze.Ly

So, he changed his words quickly."Rara, you have a husband. How can you be alone with a single man? Did ... he do anything excessive to you? Did he ever touch your hand?"His tone was cold and heavy, but because he called her by the term of endearment, there was no fierce and vicious feeling, but rather a kind of educating his daughter.She was speechless. Their babies had been born. Why was Malcolm jealous endlessly?"What do you mean? Alone in a room with a man? Y

    Anthony smiled at her from afar.His blue and deep eyes would be flooded with admiration only at the sight of her.After coming out of the interrogation room, he seemed to have gone to get a haircut and, by the way, shaved his beard.In addition to the skin that was rougher than before, his face was still as good-looking as before expect the feeling of vicissitude.Lyra stood still and watched quietly as Anthony approached her.She asked, "How do you get here?""I want to see my sister, but I didn't expect you to be there. It just so happens I went to a mall to buy some gifts after signing a bill from the National Investigation Bureau, so can I have a dinner at Lyre Spiti tonight?"Lyra thought about it and didn't refuse, "Sure, little Spencer and Momo will be very happy if they know they are going to see their godfather." Anthony smiled with satisfaction.He always smiled in front of Lyra, and his emotions were always the most genuine.Lyra: "I heard from Rebecca that you got beat up

    Lyra was caught up in memories.Orphanage, husband's family...Why did she feel a little familiar with that?With suspicion, she sat down again next to Melissa and clutched her hand that was not in a infusion, "Melissa, do you remember your last name?"Melissa's lips were pale. She smiled and looked at her gently, "What is wrong with you? How can I not remember my last name? Back at Wright Street in Frayton, I was picked up by the old director of orphanage. The director said I would smile when I saw people. And I looked sweet. She gave me the name Melissa, and the last name is same with her. That's Walsh."Lyra's expression froze and she looked to Keith who was next to her.Keith was also stunned. He got up from the bed and grabbed Melissa's wrist, asking incredulously, "Melissa, what happened to you? Your last name is not Walsh anymore. It's Callahan. You're the fifth daughte of the Callahan family. Esther Callahan is your original name. Do you remember?"Melissa pulled her wrist bac

    Anthony: "Okay, I'll be quick and not make it difficult for you."He turned around and went inside the secret interrogation room again.Guided by two soldiers, they walked through the long corridor to the door where Shane was being held.The iron door was opened. The first thing that came into view was red color. Shane was covered in blood, pale, and dripping with cold sweat. His hands were hanging backwards to an iron hook on the roof. This was the National Investigation Bureau's usual means of torment.He had known Shane for so long. Shane always looked proud to be unbeatable. It was the first time for Anthony to see him be miserable in this way.To say he was not happy was a lie.After all, Anthony never felt like he, himself was a good guy.Hearing the sound of clear footsteps, Shane lifted his eyes with difficulty and snorted softly with his weak voice, "I guessed you'd come. Anthony, did you think you'd won?"Anthony laughed and did not hide his feelings, "It's rare to see you s

    Shane's expression froze.The redness on his left cheek did not affect his good-looking appearance.He looked similar to Anthony, with the color of their pupils being the biggest difference.Anthony's blue eyes were like starry gemstones, rendering people feel that he was an exotic prince. He was exquisitely handsome, both in righteous and evil way.Shane's pupils were dark brown. He looked sharp, handsome and righteous.But it was his appearance that made people have the illusion of justice.He laughed like a madman and didn't answer the question, "A loss is a loss. High-order Prison is the kind of place where I'll go crazy if I need to stay there for the rest of my life. Malcolm, just kill me." "Do you want to die so badly?"Malcolm let go of his collar and took a wet tissue to wipe his hands haughtily."This is not your choice. The charge of matricide is not light. If you refuse to confess, I will find it out. If you really did it, even if you have to be executes by shooting, befor

    Malcolm looked collected as if he was sure to win.He glanced at Chad, who was taking notes next to him, and instructed him to record every word as much as possible.Chad nodded.Tom began to explain, "Mr. Shane did imprison Mrs. Callahan and Miss Melissa. He purchased a batch of drugs on Dark Net. You have two. But I do not know the specific name of the drugs and the way of operation. I only know that Mr. Shane initially imprisoned Mrs. Callahan and administered the drugs to her in order to get the power of Callahan family.""Because of the full support of the Combs' Group, Mr. Shane could snatch the power from the hands of his brothers. Mr. Shane has said since his father brought back Mr. Anthony and asked to have Mr. Anthony's name in the family tree, Mrs. Callahan had some mental problems. So he gave her some drugs. It would not be discovered by anyone ..."Chad snorted lightly as he felt angry about what he said."He did hide it quite well. Since he got the power, it had not been

    In the office of the National Investigation Bureau.Malcolm was reviewing the recent interrogation testimony of everyone.Levi knocked on the door and came in, standing at the open space in front of his office table."Mr. Malcolm."Malcolm didn't even raise his head, remained rea the testimony sheet in his hand, and inquired with his low tone, "What for?"Levi had his hands clasped behind his back, "Mr. Malcolm, you've been locking Mr. Shane in the interrogation room for two days. He is, after all, the deputy director. And recently he had an accident at home. His mother ...""Cut the crap." Malcolm gave him an impatient look, "If you can't explain what you're here for in five sentences, prepare for the devil training in my office this afternoon."Levi was flabbergasted.The last time when Shane was left in Malcolm's office and tortured for an afternoon, he knew exactly what happened, and it was him who carried Shane back to the Callahan Residence afterwards. For this kind of torture,

    Malcolm's eyes looked deep and he didn't say a word.He waited for the entire seventh team of soldiers to finish searching and come down to report."Mr. Malcolm, no significant findings in Shane Callahan's room.""Mr. Malcolm, nothing found on the top floor either.""Mr. Malcolm ..."Malcolm listened quietly to the report, but his eyes were quietly looking at the servants and bodyguards in the garden, as well as the butler.Tom had the calmest and most relaxed expression when he heard the report of all the searches, as if he had expected this result.Malcolm narrowed his cold eyes and tentatively continued his order, "Everyone searches the garden and the small backyard of Callahan Residence again. No detail is to be missed."Tom lowered his head slightly and tightened his palms. Knowing what was going on in the backyard, he tightened his palms instinctively.Malcolm keenly noticed his strange reaction and said nothing, taking Chad and Ted himself and checking the garden and the small

    "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, bro."The two went back to the White Mansion together and then split up in the winding alley.Chad went back to his villa, where Keira was probably cooking dinner and waiting for him to come home.Malcolm went back to Lyre Spiti. He had made it a habit to make a meal for Lyra to enjoy together before she came home.Lyra was busy with the Lloyd's Corp and was helping Keith with Melissa's treatment.Knowing exactly what Melissa had been attacked with, the doctor in the lab would be better able to prescribe the right medicine for her, but after all, it was a neurological disease and the treatment period was longer.After half an hour or so, Lyra came home.Malcolm finished cooking just in time and put the last dish on the table.The two finished their dinner in harmony and sweetness.Before going to bed, Malcolm went to the bathroom to take a shower.Lyra saw that his shirt which was casually thrown in the corner of the bed, and went over to help him pack
