"It's bygone. Why mention it again?"Lyra's expression was bland as she raised her glass and took another sip of strong wine down her throat.Garrett knew he had asked something he shouldn't have, and hastened to laugh and found himself an excuse."Right, let bygones be bygones. I heard that the old Lloyd has assigned you a task. How is it? Do you have the confidence to complete it?""Of course, I aspire to win."When it came to work, Lyra was excited, "I recently launched a new reality television talent show. I'm confident it will make Angle Group famous and increase its profit.""That's nice, but there's one more thing I want to ask you this time ..."Garrett looked her straight in the eye, and there was a few moments of hesitation on his drunken face."You..."After thinking, he chose to hide his true inner thoughts and smiled, "I'm interested in working with Angle Group. I was wondering what do you think?" "Sure, who would turn down a partner that comes to their door?"Angle Group
Being well groomed and dressed up, the two of them went to the airport early to meet Ashley.The woman wearing white T-shirt and short skirt waved at them and walked quickly through the crowd.After hugging Fiona and Sheila, Ashley followed them to a car."I'm so anxious to see you this time. Actually I have something to ask."Fiona took her hand and got straight to the point, "There's been so much going on with the Freeman family lately. It's just overwhelming. I really don't know what to do...""You can tell me about it, and I will help you whenever I can."Ashley had expected her to ask for something and nodded with a calm expression.Fiona and Sheila looked at each other with a secret joy in their hearts.Sheila told Ashley about the recent events of the Freeman family, highlighting how savage and shameless Lyra was."I never thought this woman would bully our family!" Ashley took a sip of tea, "I'll have someone investigate her now and see what the breakthrough is."Fiona held he
Ashley quickly replied to her and made arrangements.On the side of the base, a group of people chattered and got into the car.The lake was sparkling and shimmering with ripples in the wind. The leaves around the lake rustled, adding a bit of interest to the quiet lake area.The people in charge of selection organized all the players and divided them into six teams for the competition.One contestant, Hannah Perry, got on board and eventually chose to sit in the seat behind a wealthy woman.A referee whistled and the two boats sprinted forward quickly.Because all the players had no experience in rowing, the boat swayed and there were constant squealing and giggling.The show got a very effective result and the location was boisterous.The wind on the lake gradually increased, and the boat, which was already unstable, suddenly swayed more violently.Just out of reach of the camera, the boat was capsized."Ah! Help!"Stephanie Adkins, a rich girl, had fallen into the water!She panick
Darkbell's messaging network and hacking skills were all at an elite level, and he soon found Hannah's location and sent it to her phone.It was an abandoned playground.It seemed that it was not just a disappearance, but an abduction."Dog eat dog? Kind of interesting."Lyra looked at the information that popped up on her phone screen and smiled lightly.Knowing the exact location, she took action immediately, changed her clothes, and quickly went alone.This time, the people who was behind the scenes seemed to be not expecting her to come so quickly, and only one person was sent to guard here.A dilapidated shack in the amusement park.Hannah was blindfolded and tied tightly to a chair, being anxious and upset.She thought she was going to be killed, but suddenly she heard the sound of a fight coming from outside!Was someone coming to her rescue?She was so excited that she knocked over her chair and squirmed on the floor, crawling over in the direction of the door.Just halfway up
The man, who was wearing a helmet, had his head slightly bow. His skin was dark, and his uniform was covered with dust, which implied that he was a worker who had been worked for a very long time. Lyra's eyes shifted down slightly and her mind was clear when she saw his immaculate shoes."Lead the way.""This way, please."The man reached out his hand and his right hand was thick with calluses.Lyra only glanced at it for a moment before withdrawing her gaze and following behind the man.The man led her specifically down a quiet path. Seeing there was a dangerous building in front of her, Lyra stopped her feet."Wrong road, right?"She stopped dead in her tracks and said.The man who led the way stopped as well and quickly regained his composure, "Mr. Lynn is afraid that you are hungry and has asked someone to order dinner. So it will be closer to go this way." Lyra pursed her lips, didn't say anything and just stared at him. Her clear and cold eyes seemed like they could pierce throu
The crowd's discussion was not loud, but the three heard it clearly.The impatient Sheila got furious immediately, "What are you talking about!? My brother is very good. You dare to curse him to death. You uncultured son of bitch...""Behave yourself. No need to reason with them. The Freeman family is powerful. It is not easy to break it down with mere slander."Fiona pulled her back, and even though she was also angry, she still managed to show the graceful and generous posture of a wealthy wife in front of so many outsiders.Some time ago because of the withdrawal, the Freeman family and the Matthews family were not too happy, and there were many speculations about Melvin who had not appeared.She was deliberately dressed up in front of the public this time, so that everyone can see the Freeman family power was still the same."But mom, they..."Sheila had been spoiled since she was a child, and she was not willing to endure this kind of thing.She wanted to argue, but her wrist was
Hearing this, Sheila's eyes sparkled with excitement.She seemed to be feeling the thrill of revenge already and can't wait to see that bitch's miserable end....Lyra was led by the maid to the dressing room backstage.Abigail, in her wheelchair, also quietly avoided the guests and followed."Miss Carroll, these casual clothes are selected in your size. Please take your pick."The maid respectfully pointed to the five sets of clothes laid out on the table.Lyra was about to pick out a random piece when Abigail suddenly pushed in the door."I'm here. You can get out.""Yes."The maids quickly closed the door and left, leaving Lyra and Abigail alone in the dressing room for an instant.Abigail looked serious, pushed her wheelchair to the window and opened it as soon as she could."Here is the second floor. Climb down with the water pipe. There is a path on the right, and then thirty meters ahead there is a small door. The door is not locked. I let people quietly open a slit. The securi
He raised his hand to wipe it, and found it was nosebleed!Some people saw this scene and did not hold back their laughter.Master Dacey was furious.This was the most insulting and wretched way to lose in front of everyone!He had been in the martial circle for decades, but this was the first time he had been abused like this! He can't accept this result!"Go to hell!"Just as Lyra turned her head and was about to walk off the stage, Master Dacey suddenly snuck up on her from behind at breakneck speed.Sheila and the others, who were about to get indignant because Master Dacey had lost, were thrilled to see him fight again and stood up on the spot. Almost instantly, before anyone could react, they saw an extremely fast figure suddenly rushing onto the stage and kicking Master Dacey away. Master Dacey didn't even hit a hair on Lyra's head and flew off the stage two meters away, vomiting a lot of blood.Keith stepped in front of Lyra. His precious black suit pants were not soiled a bit
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
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
