"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
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
