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
Late at night.Lyra sat in the first class cabin of the plane, had a coffee, and was still very much in good spirits.She looked out from the window, but unfortunately, even the outline of the clouds were difficult to identify in the ink-like darkness of the night.Lyra was disinterested and about to turn her eyes away.Instead, a familiar figure was seen in the refraction of the small window.The man wore sunglasses and met her eyes before turning his head and avoiding her.She became guarded, quietly looked around, and suddenly found that somehow, the few bodyguards she had brought up had passed out, and the rest of the passengers had fallen into a deep sleep. It was strange. It was the smell of danger.She stood up and thought about checking out the other cabins, only to turn around and find a man in a suit walking towards her with several equally strong men.The man in the suit was the same the man in sunglasses that she just had a glance with.It seemed their goal was clear, and
"At Keith's villa?"Irene sat up from her bed in shock as she felt wide awake."Get your story straight. How does Abigail get involved with him?""Have you forgotten? Since Lyra and Melvin divorced, she and Keith have been very close. Although Melvin transferred Seaside Villa to her, she doesn't live there, and we haven't been able to find out where she lives.""What do you mean by that?" Irene frowned."Isn't obvious enough what I mean?" Charlotte rolled her eyes, "It means she's most likely living with Keith! There's no sign of Abigail in the whole Frayton, so it's likely Lyra is hiding her in Keith's villa!"After thinking about it, Irene felt that Charlotte had a point and immediately sent someone to check it out.Hanging up the phone, Charlotte tossed it aside in annoyance and leaned back against the bed to wait for her message.Abigail did not die, but became a vegetable. The fact had been like a thorn in her heart.No matter how proud she was in front of people, Abigail's prese
"Bastard!"Melvin's veins on his hands bulged and he grabbed his collar and punched him hard in the face, "From which position did she jump? Where did she fall?" Fred was dizzy from the punch by him.He wiped the blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth and just laughed, not answering.Melvin kicked him in the stomach.Fred fell to the ground and rolled. It took a long time before he covered his stomach and struggled to get up."Sorry, Boss. Even if you beat me to death here today, I won't tell you Lyra's whereabouts.""When I find her, I'll come back and fix you."After saying that, Melvin left Fred's apartment, sending someone to put him in the apartment bedroom before leaving, and letting a bodyguard to keep an eye on him. Coming out of the apartment, Melvin immediately made a phone call."Jay, immediately check Lyra's flight last night and what her location would be. Be quick."He sat in the car and lit his cigarette with annoyance.When the eighth cigarette was smoked, the ph
She pulled the dagger out with agile hands."Stop it all!"She bellowed and put the dagger against her wrist, "If you don't let me in again, I'll cut my wrist!"The bodyguards who were fighting together were stopped by her yelling and looked at her in unison. "Miss, you can't do this. You can't hurt yourself over this kind of thing. It's not worthy."Peter was frightened by her action, "If you get hurt, how can I explain to Mr. Frazier and Madam?""As you can see, I am a pearl in the palm of my family. In case I get hurt, guess if the Frazier family will be angry with all of you present? What would be the price you would pay?"She concluded that these bodyguards would be shocked by her status, and winked at Peter while sneering, "If you don't want your family to be broken up, hurry up and get out of the way.""Miss Frazier, why are you doing this?" The bodyguard in the lead really hesitated, "How about we each take a step back. You take your people and go home. I'll pretend you never
She heard a familiar voice.Irene turned her head back towards the stairway and found it was Lyra in an elegant velvet gown, followed by a cold-faced man.The man wore a mask and she could not see his face."How could you? Aren't you dead?!"Irene's smile froze on her face, and she was shocked as she asked incredulously, "How is that possible!? You jumped out of the plane! How can you still come back alive!""I'm so sorry to disappoint you rejoice so soon." Lyra smiled with arched eyebrows. She was still as beautiful as before."You bitch, because of you, Keith wants to back out of the marriage with me. I wanna kill you!"Irene was furious and ran towards her, threatening to die with her.Lyra deftly dodged her. Irene couldn't control her body, lost her balance and almost fell on her face."I knew you'll be okay." Keith rubbed Lyra's face and was completely relieved, "Go ahead and check on Abigail. I'll handle it.""Good, then I leave her to you."Lyra said so and went into Abigail's
"What did they say?"Keith frowned and waited for his answer with interest."Mr. Frazier has confined Miss Irene. She is not allowed to come out without his order." The butler replied respectfully. Keith grunted, "Good, so she can no longer come to Frayton to make troubles. I finally can a peaceful life for a while." He waved his hand, gesturing the butler to leave, while he himself continued to stare at the closed door of the room.The Frazier's residence in Suham.Irene went into a frenzy in her room."This is too much for dad! How can he lock me in my room and not even let me out this door!"A servant approached her timidly and comforted her in a soft voice, "Miss, don't be too sad. You're just grounded. You can stay at home in peace for a while and it will be over soon." "You know nothing about it! Get the hell out of here!"Irene took out all the flowers from a vase and threw them at the servant, "Get out! Don't annoy me!"As if she didn't feel relieved enough, she grabbed the va
Suddenly, she was sober and feeling extremely grateful that Lyra didn't die this time. Otherwise, she and Keith would never have been able to be together again.She sat down weak and limp, contemplating how she should undo what she had done before.After thinking about it, she picked up her phone and made a phone call to Keith.The waiting time became extraordinarily long as a busy signal kept coming from the receiver."What?"She heard Keith's impatient voice. "I'll hang up if there's nothing else.""Wait! Keith, I really need to talk to you!" Irene gripped the phone tightly and was afraid that he would hang up the phone in the next second."If you want me to persuade your father to release you from your grounding, no need to talk. I'm still considering the marriage contract.""No, I'm trying to find Lyra. I don't have her contact information ... can you put her on the phone?" Irene's voice became smaller and smaller when saying this."You're looking for her? I advise you to stop dis
Ethel stared at her and stunned by her cold gaze. Uncontrollably, she was trembling and aware of a hint of danger.Seeing that Ethel was finally a little scared, she snorted lightly."Tomorrow morning, I will have you sent to the countryside residence with bodyguards to watch over you. There are former servants from our family. They will keep an eye on you day in and day out doing farm work.""Every night before sunset, you will be whipped with ten lashes, and then you will kneel in the courtyard and finish reciting a whole book of Prajnaparamita as a confession of your sins. You can rest when you have finished reading.""How do you feel about doing that every day, week in and week out? Isn't that magnanimous?"Ethel's back stiffened and her already weak face went wan little by little.She had heard of Prajnaparamita, which consisted of six hundred volumes, with a total of more than five million words. She didn't know if she could finish it in one night if she really had to read it fr
Chad stopped the movement of his hands, raised his eyes for a moment, and received the cold and hostile warning gaze from Malcolm which scared him and his face slightly pale."No!"He was so frightened that when he swung the branch again.Ethel was in so much pain that she was twitching and was almost at her limit.Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitifully at Micah who was on the side couch and Keith, weakly pleading for help."Micah, Keith, help me ..."Micah looked cold. There was no trace of extra expression on his face for her cry for help.Keith looked at her and listened to the creepy sound. Then he chose to look away and ignored it.Facing with the indifferent brothers, Ethel felt disappointed and smiled contemptuously.Occasionally, she would muffle a few grunts of pain, but still didn't beg for mercy.Whoosh-With the final lashing, the last thick branch in Chad's hand was broken.He gasped slightly and was a little tired from it. Then he looked back at
Claudia cried by her yelling and was afraid to look at the man in the bed.But Lyra was pulling her hair, and she couldn't escape.The sharp pain in her knees and scalp stimulated her nerves and she screamed. She was on the verge of tearing down her defenses."I'm not wrong! I was just trying to protect myself. It's all your fault Lyra. You caused this!""Reginald deserved what he got! I wouldn't be at Ethel's mercy if he hadn't insisted on giving you the inheritance and pushing me to the impasse!"She and Lyra had never gotten along. And Lyra had said before that once she took the inheritance, Claudia would be thrown out of the Lloyd Manor and she would never live well.Claudia had been pampered in the Lloyd Manor for so many years. If she was kicked out, it was equivalent to sentence her to death. She had no ability to survive alone and she was not going to survive! But it would be different if Ethel took the inheritance and she could still be Mrs. Lloyd in the future.She was not w
Collin's face instantly turned pale and he was dumbfounded by Lyra's words.He didn't expect that Malcolm would give her all his property and shares for Rara, regardless of the honor and interest of the entire White Corp family.It was really ironic and funny."I'm sorry."In addition to these three words, he seemed to explain more, but all seemed to be useless.Lyra wiped away her tears and felt disappointed for Collin."Even if you don't do any of these things, it's your connivance that allows Ethel to be so reckless. Because you shield and hide the truth about her victimizing me, it makes me to live in exile in Frayton when I was fifteen and suffer for six years in the Freeman family.""This injury can't be offset by a sentence that you have punished her heavily and made her have no jobs for six months!""On the Crane Bay Bridge in Frayton, she teamed up with Caden and got forty killers on the black market to kill me, forcing me to jump into the cold water!""In Frayton's Fantalure
In the garden, the guests' murmurs were louder, because what Lyra had said had a lot of information!In response to all the questions, Lyra glanced at Collin who was on the stage and said seriously."Collin, this is a family matter. If you don't want the Lloyd Group's stock to plummet tomorrow, or the Lloyd family to be in the headlines tomorrow with all sorts of tidbits, clear the scene immediately and do as I say!"Under the spotlight, her starry eyes stared at Collin with coolness.The guests and media on the scene got more excited, and their discussion intensified.Keith rose first to help control the scene. With his presence, the media and journalists made a fool of themselves and soon left, and the guests also left one after another under Micah's reassurance. Harvey, who was holding the documents on the stage, looked confused and looked around in confusion.Malcolm noticed that and winked at Chad and Fifteen. Both of whom quickly took the stage and directly took Harvey away from
When they saw Micah come out, everyone gathered around.Keith asked nervously, "Micah, how's it going?"Micah lowered his head and did not say a word. His face looked flat, so that they couldn't guess whether the test result was good or bad.Seeing this expression on his face, everyone was heart-wrenching.Lyra said resignedly, "Micah, just say it. Any outcome won't be much worse than now. I can take it."Micah remained silent and walked up to Lyra. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and hugged her tightly.His ever-cold and arrogant face had a rare smile, "Rara, my most precious sister. You're the Lloyd family's most honored daughter!" Once he said these words, everyone instantly fell relieved.Only Malcolm, who looked sullen, separated the two from each other in an embrace and took back his petite fiancee with him arms. "You're adults. Pay attention to the intimacy. Don't just hug like that.""You!" Lyra helplessly gazed at the jealous Malcolm. Her small hand quietly reached i
Seeing that it was Micah at the door, Lyra and Malcolm looked at each other. Obviously, neither of them didn't expect that it would be him. Micah's body was too wet.He was reluctant to go in and wet the carpet. So he was still standing by the door, and his usually cool eyes locked on Lyra.Lyra didn't quite understand. Remembering what happened at the Lloyd family the other day, she asked icily, "Why do you come over here without an umbrella? Is it an emergency?"Micah adjusted his breathing before saying, "Rara, I haven't come to you for the past few days because I was being watched. Tomorrow is the return party, so I have to get rid of the surveillance and sneak over."Lyra's heart softened for a moment and she turned her head to Malcolm, "Get Micah a thick bath towel and make some ginger tea.""OK."With a thick bath towel, Micah wrung the water from his body until it was half dry before entering the living room.Malcolm went to make ginger tea, and Lyra sat on the couch."Micah,
Ethel's face froze.After a while, she could only reluctantly lower her head, "Yes.""Good girl! That's what the daughter of Lloyd family is supposed to be." Keith smiled and stroked her head.After stroking her head perfunctorily, he took the lead and turned his head away, saying resentfully, "Change your clothes back. Your face is injured. You should not be able to choose today. We can come here another day."...Lyra made her way out of the shopping district.It wasn't until she got into the car that she opened her bag again and took out a small note.This was what Keith forced into her right hand when he was helping her just now.Unfolding the note, it contained only one sentence.[Give me some time.]Lyra's brows furrowed as she gazed silently at the nice handwriting.Why should he be given time?Did he find something and was he quietly investigating?As she was thinking about it, her phone rang and it was Malcolm's calling.Once the phone was connected, his voice sounded slightl
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
