Hearing that her friends were arrested by the police, Cordelia Locke felt like her heart was being torn apart.

She had always been a kind girl, unwilling to believe in the dark side of human nature.

Since childhood, she loved helping others, preferring to work to earn money to help classmates pay tuition fees.

So when Emily and Lily claimed they didn't steal money, Cordelia Locke hesitated for a moment but quickly believed them.

"Don't worry, I will explain to Ronan and have the police release you," Cordelia Locke assured them.

With Cordelia Locke's promise, Emily and Lily felt relieved.

After leaving the police station, Cordelia Locke called Ronan to ask where he was.

Ronan casually said he was at the company, and she hung up, hailed a taxi, and went to Zenith Ventures.

"Miss, you can't go in!" The secretary tried to stop Cordelia Locke.

Seeing her frail appearance and not daring to use force, fearing the girl might fall at any moment, Cordelia Locke rushed into Ronan's offi

    Emily argued cunningly, "I just used it on my face, how was I supposed to know you were planning to give it to someone? You didn't say!"Chloe immediately responded, "You used it on your face? Can you use half a bottle just for your face? I clearly saw you applying it on your legs!"Chloe raised the bottle, and it was nearly empty.It was outrageous enough that she used the foundation that Chloe had prepared to give to her mother, but she also used it on her legs!Chloe said with a sense of grievance, "Madam, Emily never cleans the dormitory; sometimes she doesn't even flush the toilet. All the snacks I bought were eaten by her!""While I really like it here, I don't want to live with her anymore!"Lyra nodded, feeling that Emily was indeed going too far.She called Butler Zane and had Chloe moved to a different dormitory."Get along well with your colleagues from now on!" Lyra said.Emily dismissively agreed.Lyra thought Emily was new and didn't understand the rules, so she didn't t

    Lyra chuckled, pointing at the disheveled Lily kneeling on the ground:"She claims to be the good friend of your beloved woman, and she even considers herself the mistress of Emperor Garden, thinking she can touch my things at will! I dare not refuse her!"Ronan glanced around, his eyes sweeping over the two dresses on the floor.He squinted, recognizing both dresses as the ones he had bought for Lyra.Because Lyra's belly had grown larger, she couldn't wear them anymore. Just a few days ago, he specifically instructed Butler Zane to keep them properly.Looking at Lily in her exposed state, Ronan probably guessed the reason for the situation.He was angry, infuriated by Lily's reckless words.What did she mean by his most beloved woman?Even if he felt guilt and sympathy for Cordelia Locke, could such words be said recklessly in front of his wife?How could this fool be Cordelia Locke's good friend?Lyra, sitting on the sofa, supporting her belly, had an unhappy expression.Ronan walk

    Emily was still unaware of Lily being kicked out.She had been trying to make her presence known in front of Ronan. When she heard that Ronan wanted a fruit platter, she immediately volunteered and ran to the kitchen."Lyra, don't be angry, okay? There won't be such people coming to Emperor Garden again," Ronan placated her in a low voice.Lyra calmly said, "I've said it before; I can give up the position of Mrs. Locke anytime, as long as you agree to divorce...""Forget about it; I will never divorce!" Ronan gritted his teeth.Emily, holding the fruit platter, was puzzled. Wasn't it said that Lyra used the child in her belly to dominate Miss Locke's position? Why was she now talking about divorce, and Ronan was against it?Putting down the fruit platter, Emily finally found a chance to grab attention.She said softly, "Mr. Ronan, the fruit platter is here, all made by me."Ronan, without even looking at her, waved his hand dismissively.Emily glared at Lyra resentfully.What a preten

    Ronan drove to the villa and heard a commotion from afar.He parked the car and searched for servants but found none.The main gate was tightly locked, and music played from inside.He circled to another side's window, peering through curtains that were never drawn.He saw a woman wearing only underwear and short shorts, dancing to the music.Wasn't that the woman, Emily, who caused the allergic reaction on his face?Ronan was furious, his jaw tightly clenched. He pounded on the door.After a while with no response, he pounded harder. The music inside lowered, but still, no one came to open the door."Who's there, knocking like that?" Emily's impatient voice sounded from inside."Open the door!" Ronan said with a dark face.After a while, Emily opened the door, surprised to see him. "Mr. Ronan, are you here to see me?"Ronan, with a stern expression, pushed the door open and entered.Instant noodles and snacks were scattered everywhere, the floor even had crawling cockroaches.Dirty c

    Ronan suppressed his anger and drove Cordelia Locke back to the villa. After she got out of the car, he didn't say a word, simply drove away. Cordelia Locke stood at the door, feeling both sad and wronged.Emily and Lily ran out to console her. "Cordelia, you did nothing wrong. Don't be sad.""Yeah, who knows if that kid was lying? He was just playing around and got lost. How can his parents blame you?" Emily reassured.Trembling, Cordelia Locke, with teary eyes, said, "I seem to have caused trouble for him again. He must hate me now!"Emily handed her tissues to wipe away the tears. "It's not your fault. You were just helping him.""Helping him?" Cordelia Locke raised her eyes, puzzled.Emily confidently explained, "Of course, you've done so many good deeds; there will be good karma. Right now, you're accumulating merit for Ronan!"Lily joined in, "Exactly, spending his money on good deeds will make him grateful. Sooner or later, he'll understand what a kind person you are!""Isn't R

    "Lyra, are you going out?" Ronan asked.Lyra nodded, "The nursery is ready, and I'm going to buy a crib.""I'll accompany you!" Ronan immediately said."Don't you need to go to the villa to see Cordelia Locke?" Lyra asked with a half-smile."I'm not going today. What do you want to wear? Let me pick for you," Ronan replied.Without waiting for Lyra's answer, he rushed into the walk-in closet.Frowning, he took a while to choose, then came out with two sets of clothes."Wife, which one do you like? The red one complements your skin tone and makes you look fair. The blue one has a nice design."Ronan compared the two outfits, holding them up for Lyra's opinion.Lyra casually pointed, "The red one!""Do you want the red one? But I think the blue one looks better on you!""Are you annoying?" Lyra walked over, forcefully took the clothes from him, put them on without looking at him, and walked out.Ronan chuckled, caught up with her at the entrance, knelt, and helped her put on her shoes,

    "Pity?" Ronan frowned, his voice cold, carrying a chilling tone.Cordelia Locke swallowed hard, trying to maintain composure. "Those beggars and homeless people look so miserable, and those forced into stealing, it's because they have no money, so..."As Cordelia Locke spoke, a malevolent and aggressive presence suddenly approached.Ronan's tall and imposing figure leaned in, a face exquisite like a demon's appearing in front of her.Cordelia Locke dared not move, innocent, watery eyes looking up at Ronan, her heart beating rapidly.He was so close; was he going to kiss her?Cordelia Locke even instinctively closed her eyes.Just when she thought something was about to happen, a cold male voice interrupted."Cordelia, what you're doing is wrong. You not only encourage these people to seek unearned gains but also bring trouble to others."Cordelia Locke opened her eyes in shock, and Ronan urged her to look into the mall.Security guards were continuously dispersing the homeless, custom

    "Cordelia, we're best friends! You know my family is not well-off, and yet you ask me for money?"Emily's appearance seemed to convey endless grievances, her widened eyes accusing Cordelia Locke of heartlessness.Cordelia Locke hurriedly said, "Emily, I know your family isn't well-off. Didn't I lend you two million before when you wanted to buy a house? Now that the bank wants to repossess the house, can you just repay that two million to me?"Emily immediately clutched her chest, portraying a painful expression."Cordelia, you're truly breaking my heart! You're asking me to repay the money when I'm your best friend? How could you?"Cordelia Locke anxiously said, "I'm not asking you to repay the money, but I've spent all the twenty million I borrowed before. Please return the money I lent you. I'm facing difficulties now, and you should help me!"Emily indignantly said, "I've misjudged you. So, you're this kind of person! You don't consider me a good friend.""Of course, I consider yo

    “Mia, do you want to go camping with us?” Matthew looked at her expectantly.Lyra pursed her lips, unable to refuse him."Sure, I'll go with you," she agreed."Great, we can go camping!" Matthew cheered.Matthew was ecstatic, lying on Lyra's chest and refusing to get up.His little head kept rubbing against her, and his innocent and cute voice said, "Mia, I haven't taken a bath today..."Lyra's heart melted as she carried Matthew to the bathroom, helped him bathe, and even used cotton swabs and a nail file to clean his ears.Matthew comfortably lay on Lyra's lap, chubby hands poking at her soft chest, enjoying her help in cleaning his ears.Having a wife is nice!Unlike Dad, who doesn't have a wife and wears a constipated expression every day.Seeing his adorable face, Lyra couldn't help but kiss his cheek.The little guy blushed."Matthew, do you like your dad?" Lyra asked tentatively.She and Ronan were not possible anymore. In the future, she would have to fight for Matthew's custo

    Today he has already taken her several times, and if he takes her again, he's afraid her body won't be able to handle it.Adjusting his breath, Ronan leaned against Lyra's ear, still panting slightly."The account for today's deeds is temporarily unpaid, but I'll collect it from you later."His cool lips left a mark, capturing her sweet scent, and his large hand uncontrollably climbed under the covers.This woman had a kind of irresistible charm.Even her breathing seemed to tempt him, turning him into a beast, always wanting to take action against her, completely out of control.Ronan had never experienced anything like this with any woman before.As the CEO of Zenith Ventures, Ronan was never short of women around him; to say beautiful women were abundant would be an understatement.Celebrities, aristocratic ladies, ladies from noble families...But none of them, like Lyra, could provoke his desires so easily.Five years ago, he knew that her body was made for him, perfectly fitting

    He forcefully shut off the shower, while Lyra reached out to turn it back on.Ronan firmly grasped her hand, his anger on the brink of eruption, each word squeezed out through his teeth, "Lyra, you better not provoke me again!"Lyra slowly turned her head, glancing at Ronan.She stood there, motionless, like a statue, her eyes empty.After a while, Lyra blankly looked up and noticed that there was no more water coming out of the shower.She reached out, wanting to turn it back on.Ronan's voice was as cold as his expression, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately send the video to your lover!"At his words, Lyra's whole body tensed, halting her attempt to turn the switch."Come here!" Ronan ordered coldly.Lyra's body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, she forced herself to walk towards Ronan.One step, two steps... she almost exhausted all her strength, finally reaching him."Think I'm dirty? Huh?" Ronan pinched her chin, his eyes wild.In the past five years, he hadn't touched

    "If you don't comply..." Ronan's voice trailed off, deliberately leaving the threat unsaid, his intentions clear.Lyra's lips quivered fiercely in response.Ronan was satisfied with her reaction and spoke with a smirk, "It's no big deal to show him, anyway. You're my wife, we've rolled in the sheets countless times, he knows it all.""I promise you," Lyra gritted her teeth, "I promise you, but you can't let him see the video."Suddenly, Ronan felt as if something had lodged in his chest. Lyra cared about Torin so much!Despite having the upper hand, Ronan felt utterly shattered."Since you've promised, show me your sincerity, this time it's your initiative," Ronan's voice echoed seductively in her ears.Lyra's chest trembled as she looked at him incredulously.This beastly man, she wished she could just stab him to death!But she also knew she couldn't fight this man right now.He held her weakness in his hands.Lyra mockingly tugged at her lip, slowly moving her body.Her legs ached

    She reached for the bedside table lamp, but her wrist was easily caught by him. He sneered, "Do you think I'll give you a chance to smash my head?" "Get out! Get out!" Lyra's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. But her strength couldn't match Ronan's. He was like a spider in a web, trapping Lyra tightly, leaving her with no chance of escape. For the first time, Lyra felt the immense disparity in strength between a man and a woman. She was no match for Ronan at all. Gasping for air heavily, Lyra struggled to sit up again, but Ronan forcefully pressed her back down. Lyra's body was being torn apart incessantly, and she almost thought she would be tortured to death. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. After what seemed like an eternity, the brutal abuse finally ceased. Ronan lay atop her, his breath thick and heavy. Lyra lay there like a lifeless puppet, her eyes hollow with despair, tears lingering at the corners. Her body was covered in red marks, bearing the tr

    !Lyra was stunned by his shameless words and promptly turned away, ignoring him. Ronan's cheek became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to have no shame. Even though Lyra ignored him, he didn't get angry, continuing to gaze at her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lyra suddenly saw Matthew sitting up, rubbing his eyes, and jumping off the bed. Lyra quickly asked, "Matthew, what's wrong?" Still half-asleep, Matthew's tender voice murmured, "I need to pee." "I'll take you." Lyra, not knowing how to avoid Ronan, offered. With his eyes closed, Matthew replied with a sleepy "mm." Just as Lyra was about to take him to the bathroom, Ronan suddenly picked up their son, his deep, melodious voice saying, "I'll take him." As the father and son left, Lyra suddenly felt it was a perfect opportunity and quietly left the children's room, heading to her guest room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra felt extremely nervous, feeling that Ronan had malicious intentions. But now that s

    Lyra turned her head and found Matthew already running into room 2016, her brow furrowed, and she hurriedly followed.In the room, Matthew climbed onto the bed, continuously pushing Ronan with his hands, shouting anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy!"Ronan lay on the bed dressed neatly, luckily they arrived in time; it seemed that Cordelia Locke hadn't succeeded.Matthew's pushing and shouting didn't elicit any response from Ronan, and he became increasingly worried, his little face scrunching up, on the verge of tears, as he cried out, "Mommy, mommy! Has daddy gone away?"Matthew's crying tugged at Lyra's heartstrings, her own heart pounding hard in her chest.Had Ronan...?She forced herself to calm down, walking over to Ronan's side and placing her hand gently on his attractive, steady nose.Thankfully!He was still breathing!It seemed he was just knocked unconscious.Lyra quickly took out her phone and dialed 911, simultaneously calling the hotel's room service to send someone over immediat

    Even though Ronan was dressed neatly and lay quietly like a wooden man without giving any response, resembling a sleeping beauty.Cordelia Locke still couldn't resist his charm and excitedly straddled him, involuntarily moaning."Mmm... Ronan... so good..."Suddenly, someone outside the door started frantically ringing the doorbell.Cordelia Locke, who was immersed in excitement, was interrupted by the sudden ringing, making her very unhappy.Originally, she didn't want to pay attention and pretended there was no one in the room.But then she considered that if it was a room service attendant who saw no one inside, they might just swipe their card to enter.So she decided to send away the person outside first, and then come back to enjoy Ronan's body.The person outside suddenly changed tactics and began pounding on the door with their hands.Startled by the unexpected noise, Cordelia Locke hugged the towel around her and cautiously walked to the door, peering outside through the peep

    Finally, the car arrived at the Grandeur Gala Hub clubhouse after twenty minutes. Lyra and Matthew approached the entrance but were stopped by a doorman. "I'm sorry, this is an exclusive private club. Only members are allowed inside," the doorman said, blocking their way. Lyra hurriedly explained, "We're here to find someone." "Even if you're looking for someone, you can't come in. Why don't you call your friend and have them come out to meet you?" the doorman refused to let them in. "What's a member?" Matthew asked, his little brows furrowing. The doorman glanced at him. Although he was just a child, his demeanor and attire were extraordinary, so the doorman politely replied: "A member is a VIP member who needs to pay an annual fee of one million." Lyra gasped, calculating the balance in her bank account. But no matter how she calculated, it was not enough. She hesitated, remembering that Torin had given her a card before, but she had never used it. Should she take it out n
