"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
"Why do I have to be jealous of her? She's just a vegetable that doesn't pose any threat." Charlotte retorted sarcastically."If you don't believe me, ask the people who took her away. Abigail's death has nothing to do with me."Katelyn covered her ears and screamed, running out in panic.Charlotte watched her leave and finally couldn't control her emotions and laughed aloud.Originally she had doubts about Irene's words, but now looking at Katelyn's reaction, she could already be sure that something indeed happened to Abigail and that there was no one left to compete with her for the Matthews family heiress-ship.She finally won once!Now that Lyra and Abigail were dead, there was no one to steal Melvin's love from her anymore, and no one to stand in the way of her gaining more fame and status.Charlotte was in an extraordinarily good mood.She forked a piece of salad and put it into her mouth, still being unable to restrain from laughing.After just two bites, she placed the salad o
"What's happened to Abigail?"Jamie turned off the TV and asked."Abigail was taken away by Keith. He said he got a doctor to operate on her. But the surgery went wrong and Abigail ...Katelyn cried her eyes out with grief, and continued, "I went to Keith's villa to ask him, but he just wouldn't give me back our daughter. She was already gone, and he kicked me out!"She covered her chest and sobbed.Jamie hurriedly poured her a glass of water, helped her sit down, and gently patted her back."Keith is not someone we can afford to mess with."After hearing the sad news about their daughter, Jamie's eyes also turned red, but it was Keith who...One was the corpse of their daughter, and the other side was Keith who was an influential man in entertainment industry, not to mention he had the support of the Lloyd family, the richest family in Suham. Ever if he was pained by the death of their daughter, and wanted Keith to pay the price, he dared not easily provoke him.He was caught in the
"No, don't worry. I took all the blame on myself. After the boss left, he ordered me to be imprisoned. That's why I was seriously injured. I escaped while the group was drunk at night." Charlotte listened to his words and was stunned in place, and her eyes were full of dismay."Boss will not retain me anymore, and will even hold me responsible and dispose of me strictly. Can you take me in for a while? I'm injured and can't run far. But when I get better, I'll leave immediately." Seeing Charlotte frozen, he didn't continue.He hastily added humbly and eagerly, "Don't worry. I won't give you any trouble.""That ... allows me to think about it." Charlotte subconsciously took a step back, "I'll try to take care of this properly."Fred, who had lost Melvin's trust, was no longer of any value to her. But if she offended him openly, he would expose all of her wrongdoings after he left the Matthews' House, which would be even more detrimental to her.In order to ensure that the plan was fool
Melvin tilted his head to look at her and smiled in a pleasing way.Lyra gave him a deep look.Tonight he was really beatable. If she didn't beat him to cry, she can not endure this!She reached out and spread it out in front of him, "The belt."Melvin did not delay, unlocked the metal clasp immediately, handed her very obediently, and then turned his back to her.Lyra folded the belt in half and raised it high, as if to whip towards the already wounded back.But before the belt could be swung in her hand, her gaze unconsciously rested on the palm-sized burn on his back.The injury was bright red, which was quite hideous. It was too conspicuous, so it was difficult not to notice it.And the injury was caused when he protected her. Otherwise it was estimate that her face would get injured.Thinking of this, Lyra felt complex. It was as if there was a mysterious force that clamped her wrist that she can not do it.She sighed and was deflated suddenly, because she realized that she would
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly subtle because of these words.Melvin was frozen in place and didn't move even his finger.Lyra's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and her face was sullen, "Hurry up. I want to see the injury."Melvin was instantly deflated.Oh, it turned out to be just to see the injury. He was thinking too much.Wait...To see the injury?Why did she suddenly suspect his injury? Did Anthony say something to her?"My injury is fine. I've been medicated for the past two days, and I'm almost healed."Lyra coldly glanced at him, "Take it off!"Melvin didn't move, "It's bandaged. You can't see it when it's off.""Tear it down. Reapply the medicine later."She sounded resolute.This meant that she had to see it?Melvin didn't say a word and didn't move, wondering how he could put it off.Lyra saw right through him."Don't try to fool me tonight. You have to take it off!""Lyra, it warms my heart that you care about my injury, but it's too late tonight. It's better to
Lyra didn't hide it either, "Yes, if not, how can I catch you?"Anthony smiled, which looked a little bleak."When did you start guarding against me?""From the moment you took out the revolver and asked me to choose between Melvin and Charlotte. I felt something was wrong with you."How dared she suspect him from that moment on?Anthony stared at her and was somewhat incredulous.She continued expressionlessly, "It wasn't until the last time you were leaving Frayton, I accidentally saw the man in black in the hallway of Fantalure Bar. Coupled with the acid incident that day, I suspected you had a connection with the one in the Lloyd family who tried to kill me."Anthony smiled miserably, "So it is.""Anthony, you are indeed the only person I ever admired when I was a kid. But why do you want to kill me?"He shook his head and was still in denial, "I don't. Your family announced your death before. You don't know how sad I was. I didn't know you are alive until half a month ago, and on
Only after seeing he was faint did the man with the ghostly face take off his mask.In the moonlight, the man's dark eyes were cold and, looking at Anthony with bloodlust.Chad came up and asked, "Boss, how to deal with him?""Tie up the two and throw them in the car. As for Anthony ..."Melvin stopped speaking and his eyes narrowed. And his expression was ruthless, "Hang him up and take him to the hut prepared in advance. Lyra will be here in 10 minutes or so at the soonest. Before she comes, torture him first.""Yes."Anthony was forcibly awakened by cold water.When he woke up, he found his hands tied, hanging backwards from behind to the beam of a broken hut. His feet could touch the ground, barely to keep his weight in place with his tiptoe.This posture was very tired. His arms were be sore and unbearable. If hanging on for an hour, the arms can be painful to dislocation. The armpits will be bruised and swollen.He gave a light laugh.This kind of torture, at first glance, was t
Lyra's expression gradually froze, staring at him in disbelief.The tone was a bit gloomy."You don't even believe me?"Anthony snorted, "Silly girl, I'm kidding with you. Of course I trust you, but did you or Melvin prepare this wine? I can't trust him."Lyra showed him the red wine glass that was already empty in her hand."I drank it all, and if the wine was tampered with, it should have been me who fall first."Anthony did not speak, shook the glass of red wine in his hand and still did not drinking.Lyra was a little upset. She muttered and looked at the whole bottle of red wine next to her, "Do you want me to finish the whole bottle of red wine like you did last time? So you can believe me?" Anthony was silent.Lyra felt wronged and acted rashly to reach for the entire bottle of wine on the table.Anthony stopped her, "I believe you. Even if this bottle of wine is poison, I will drink it, because you are beautiful poison to me, and I have long been intoxicated."He smiled doting
This contentious gaze continued for several minutes.Lyra was caught in the middle and looked the two men over separately.Melvin, who was free from the effect of 023, seemed to be slightly more aggressive than Anthony, and his eyes were colder and more hostile.She was a bit speechless.They just met. She didn't know what would happen next.She coughed heavily to divert the attention of the two.And she gestured Anthony to look to the dining room, and said in a soft voice, "Anthony look, the dishes are ready. I also prepared two bottles of good red wine. We have not dunk for a long time. Let's get hammered.""Great."Anthony withdrew his gaze from the competition with Melvin and looked at Lyra with tenderness, walking with her to the dining room and taking a seat."You're so good. These dishes smell so good. I wasn't too hungry, but now I have a great appetite.""As long as you like it."Melvin remained standing in the stairs, watching their interaction.Even though Lyra had told him
As soon as Elizabeth saw Anthony bring the police officers in, she instantly sank into the sofa.She had clearly heard from her acquaintance at the police department that Anthony was leaving Frayton, so why hadn't he left yet? With Anthony here, she was afraid it would be a difficult day.The Harrington family's of bodyguards quickly got frightened after the group of police officers rushed in with electric batons.Ashley also sat on the floor being utterly depressed.However, Anthony came in and kept his eyes looking at Lyra.He walked over to Lyra and sat next to her, sitting upright and straight.Lyra subconsciously frowned, but soon withdrew her unknown emotions, and looked at Elizabeth and Ashley again."Ashley, I don't bother to continue the nonsense. In short, for the things you and the Harrington family committed, the police department should have its own judgement. And you have to pay back my money with interests. If you don't have enough money, then sell the property and mort
"So it's you! How did you get in?"Lyra elegantly played with her nails and replied lazily, "I just let my bodyguard inform the housekeeper and walk in directly from the front door." The housekeeper let her in?The old housekeeper who had been with her family for so many years had been bribed so quickly?Ashley glared at her with indignation.Lyra guessed what she was thinking and said, "It's called loss of supporters. Today is the day your family fell from power. Of course they know what to do."Ashley was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stood up from the floor, "You bitch! You've gone too far! You think the Harrington family will fall easily if you harm us in this way? You are dreaming!" "Harm you?"Lyra sneered, "That's not harm. I'm just bringing your family's dirty things out into the open. If you're innocent, you can't be afraid of these things.""You!"Ashley was furious, but Lyra was right. For the news about the Harrington Group and the things between Elizabeth and Wa
Discount?So, he was kind of begging for mercy?Lyra pursed her lips and laughed lightly. He just accepted the punishment and was quite tough. Now he was frightened. She thought he was not afraid of pain.Without speaking, she went to unbuckle the belt.Melvin tried to hide, but his arms were pressed by her. Finally he could only bury his face in the comforter again, feeling disheartened.It looked like she didn't agree to a lighter penalty...Just now he used all his strength to fight the pain of removing the rotting flesh in the wound, and now his body was weak and feeble.If he was really whipped by Twelve in the garden for two hundred times, he would faint, right?If he fainted, Lyra would certainly notice that something was wrong, and may also take the opportunity to check his injury. It had been three days, and the injury of sulfuric acid was clearly different from his injury on his back. Lyra was sagacious. It can not be hidden certainly.As he was thinking, Lyra had already un
