Her hands turned white at the knuckles from clutching the sheets so hard.She was obviously fearful that he would answer her question with a yes, but she still expected it a little bit.But this time, Micah said nothing, coldly letting go of her hand and pushing the door without looking back.Katelyn and Lyra, who were chatting on the couch outside the door, were startled to see the appalling expression on Micah's face as he came out. Katelyn was the first to ask, "Mr. Micah... what's wrong?"Micah ignored her and looked directly at Lyra, "You knew it well that she's faking it."Was he... really angry?It was the first time Lyra had ever seen Micah scowl on her.She blinked her eyes sheepishly, "I ..."Micah didn't want to give her a chance to explain, and just went downstairs in stride.Lyra was just about to go after him when she was pulled by Katelyn to see how Abigail was doing in the room.Abigail's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and she was not in a good mood.Katelyn
Ashley nodded seriously and started working on the arrangements the next day.When she went to talk to the head of Oceania Construction, she was told, "Sorry, Atimber Property has already raised the price to 100 million, so we can't give you the goods... Could you add some money?" For this large batch of building materials, Atimber Property can actually raise the price to 100 million!?Were they out of their minds!?But it was good that their money was invested in the construction of the suburban land in the west of the city, which meant that they were very interested in this land, almost using all the money of the entire company.Once the cooperation did not go on, they would only lose money and declare bankruptcy, and the land would only be the Freeman Group's.Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate to slap the table, "The Freeman Group can add up to 150 million and take the shipment."The head of Oceania Construction was a bit disgusted."This... business is about credibility after
Melvin's eyes looked complicated.He thought about it and his tone became more firm, "Tomorrow, I have to go back to Frayton!"Chad didn't answer, gritted his teeth, and took advantage of Melvin's current weakness to chop him in the back of the head.With a muffled grunt, Melvin passed out on the spot.Several other men saw it and were scared to death, "Chad, do you want to die!? When boss wakes up, he won't let you go off."Chad's eyes looked firm and he knelt at Melvin's feet in a disciplined manner."If I don't do this, boss will crawl back to Frayton. He is now seriously injured, and still has fever. I can not take his life to risk this. Even if he wants to kill me later, I admit it!"The others sighed helplessly and said nothing ultimately.Two days later.The Freeman group president's office.Through the door, one can hear the shrill sound of things being dropped inside.Ashley glanced at the broken coffee cups on the floor and said nicely, "Fiona, please calm down. We must have
"What's the solution?"Ashley pressed her hand and gently soothed her, finally taking the phone out of her hand and setting it aside."While the Freeman group is not in full crisis, sell your shares at a high price!""How can that be!?"Fiona's eyes widened, "I can't sell my shares! I'm still counting on them for my retirement, and if I sell them, I won't have a voice in the Freeman group! Absolutely not!"Ashley sighed and continued to reassure her, "You are confused. If the Freeman group really can't survive this crisis, your shares will be wasted in your hands, and you can rest assured that the sale of shares is only temporary!"Fiona wavered a little."Temporary?"Ashley saw her fall into the trap and continued, "I will try And by then the shares can be bought back again.""Consider it a temporary deposit with the buyer. When this crisis passes and my cousin comes back, he will surely be happy to see that you have the company in order."Fiona did not speak and fell into a long ti
Lyra was slightly silent for a while, smiled and said, "If you're out, sooner or later you'll have to pay back, and Melvin is no exception." Garrett was finally relieved to hear that.She will seek repayment from Melvin for what happened in the past, but she didn't say she would retaliate against him for Irene.She did care for him after all, didn't she?Now that she was just mad at him because Irene, and he still had a chance!Having figured it out, Garrett stood up happily, "Lyra don't worry. I'll change all these problems, and I'm willing to wait, as long as you turn back, I'll always be there."After he finished, he left.Lyra held her forehead and was speechless.It looked like he still didn't quite get her point...Forget it. She'll explain later when she had a chance.In the following days, Ashley claimed that she had to check to various construction sites every day, and was almost absent from the company, and never came back to report on the progress of her work. If Fiona call
The two looked at the door. Lyra was in a black pearl satin velvet dress. She pursed her red lips slightly, which was beautiful beyond comparison.Two handsome and sturdy bodyguards were followed with strong aura.Ashley saw her and gnashed her teeth with hatred. The humiliation of being publicly beaten in the face was still fresh in her mind."This is the Freeman group. What are you doing here!?"She walked over towards Ashley, who was speaking, "With all that's happened to the company, someone lives on the Freeman while helping Harrington Group secretly annex the Freeman group. Of course I should come over and preside the show.""Preside the show? With just you?"Ashley was amused."You have divorced your my cousin. You are no longer a member of the Freeman family, and the shares given to you by old Freeman were taken away by Fiona. So you have no voice here. Get out!"She said it and unconsciously glanced at the bodyguards behind Lyra. Now she can't beat this bitch.But when she wa
Lyra laughed at that."If it wasn't for me, the Freeman group would have to be named Harrington in the future. And instead of thanking me, you want to try to piss me off?" "What do you mean?"The Freeman group was given it to her, which was the same as giving it to an outsider.Fiona froze and understood something else, softened her tone and said, "Could it be... that you want to remarry my son?"If she remarried, she will still be a member of the Freeman family, and the Freeman group will naturally still be a part of the Freeman family.Lyra's eyes gradually cold down, not allowing others to put in a word, "Remarriage is not possible. It's impossible in my life."After all, he didn't deserve it."So what the hell do you want?" Fiona couldn't figure it out."For the sake of the old Freeman, the general policy of the company will remain unchanged, and I will keep the name of the group, which will remain the Freeman group. You can buy back the Freeman group from me if you have the abili
Hanging up the phone, Melvin instructed Chad and the others to return to their positions and wait for orders, while he quickly rushed to the Freeman group.It was already the end of the day, so there were not many people in the company. He went all the way unhindered, directly up to the top floor of the president's office. When he opened the door, the entire room's decoration was almost completely changed.Unlike the black and white style he liked in the past, the sofa was green and the tablecloth of the coffee table was also green.He hated the color and subconsciously frowned.And in front of the desk, there was a slender figure sitting with its back to him."Mr. Freeman, long time no see!"Seemingly hearing him push in, the woman swiveled her chair and looked at him with a beaming smile."Surprised to see me sitting in your seat? Surprised?"Melvin pursed his thin lips and stared at the woman in front of him for a moment.He hadn't seen her for half a month. And her face seemed to
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
