Ronan looked at the yarn Lyra was knitting, jealousy burning in his heart. Without thinking, he snatched it away.Grabbing one end of the yarn, he violently pulled and tore it apart.The half-pair of baby shoes that Lyra had spent days knitting was now shredded into pieces."What are you doing?" Lyra felt extreme heartache."What? Feeling sorry now? Who are you making this for, some wild man?" His eyes flashed with stormy anger, pupils shrinking, his handsome face tensed and terrifying.Wild man? Not only did he not appreciate her effort, but he also slandered her.Lyra clenched her lips in anger."Why should I tell you?" Unafraid, she raised her chin proudly, like a peacock.Ronan approached slowly, his face becoming somewhat fierce due to gritted teeth. "Did you meet Torin today, huh?"Lyra became somewhat nervous this time. The man's tall figure had an oppressive aura, and she soon found herself cornered against the wall.Her petite figure was entirely enveloped in the man's tall s
The news of Liora Archer being dismissed by Ronan infuriated Senator Archer.Initially, Liora Archer confidently pledged to seduce Ronan and insisted on working at Zenith Ventures, which Senator Archer agreed to as he wanted to win over Ronan.Little did they know, she not only failed but also got involved in the Vincent Russo incident."It's all that damn Vincent Russo who ruined our daughter..." Liora Archer's mother gritted her teeth.Senator Archer interrupted Liora Archer's mother, saying, "Enough, now that the incident has occurred, there's no point in assigning blame. The most crucial thing now is what our daughter should do."Liora Archer looked at Senator Archer in surprise.Approaching Liora Archer, Senator Archer cleared his throat and said, "Daughter, although I've sealed this matter completely, considering the number of people involved, I don't know how long this secret can be kept."With a pale face, Liora Archer stared at her father with deep, intense eyes.Feeling unea
The wedding had just begun, and the bride wanted to call it off.But if the other person was Ronan...Ronan looked at Liora Archer with a half-smile.Liora Archer, captivated by the handsome face of the man, forgot where she was and instinctively rushed towards Ronan.From the moment Ronan appeared, her eyes only saw this man.She wanted to throw herself into his arms immediately, let him hold her tightly, and cherish her.Ronan smoothly sidestepped.With a loud "bang," there was no warm and broad embrace she had imagined.Liora Archer felt a dull pain and numbness on her face as she fell heavily face down on the ground.Her face was covered in dust, half of her fake eyelashes fell off, and her face was swollen, looking ridiculous and funny.The onlookers burst into laughter."Haha, shameless!""So, Liora Archer has a one-sided love for Ronan!""Young Master Ronan has good skills; he almost fell for this shameless woman."Laughter echoed around, like a series of loud slaps, striking L
It was Calla's first time at the Imperial Garden.The magnificent mansion, and polite and respectful servants, all dazzled Calla."Lyra, you're so lucky!" Calla exclaimed in envy."You know, I'm just temporarily staying here. Who knows, one day Ronan might divorce me, and I'll have to pack up and leave," Lyra chuckled.Curious, Calla approached, "You're pregnant, why worry so much?""But Ronan has changed a lot as a scumbag. I haven't seen any rumors about him in gossip magazines for a long time," Lyra lowered her eyes and remained silent.Calla slapped her forehead, saying casually, "Almost forgot, you must go to the alumni gathering today!"Lyra felt hesitant. She had married right after graduation, didn't finish college, and was not familiar with her classmates.She apologized, "Calla, maybe I shouldn't go?""Why?" Calla insisted, "Lyra, you must go. You don't know how Emily Thompson, that nasty woman, has been spreading rumors about you! Saying you dropped out of college and disgr
Emily Thompson screamed, "This is impossible!"Calla calmly said, "You claimed to be close with the Love Series designer, and now you're slapped in the face, right?"Everyone was extremely surprised.The Love Series has been popular recently due to its unique design and limited availability. It was now challenging to find in the market.Calla proudly said, "However, our Lyra has retired from the scene. This is called, 'Even though the sister is not in the arena, the legend of the sister still exists!'"Everyone burst into laughter.Emily Thompson, enraged, stuffed her necklace into her clothes and gritted her teeth, "So what if she's the designer? A woman's real skill is in marrying a good husband."At this point, Emily Thompson looked at Benjamin Turner and said, "Honey, isn't there a single employee in your department without a partner? Why not introduce Lyra to him!"Someone nearby curiously asked, "How old is he?""Thirty-seven or eight, I guess? Divorced, and he's taking care of
The class president felt he looked familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen him. He asked, "May I ask who you are..."Ronan looked at Lyra and gently curved his lips, "I'm Lyra's husband.""What's your last name?" the class president continued to ask."Just call me Ronan."Emily Thompson blinked her eyes forcefully. Such a handsome and refined man was Lyra's husband?How could that be!?Is he a gigolo?She just didn't believe it. How could Lyra find someone wealthy?The class president felt that Ronan looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him.He continued to ask, "I wonder what Mr. Ronan does for a living?"Calla eagerly chimed in, "He's in real estate!"ZenithVentures had a wide range of business areas, including real estate, entertainment, hotels, and new energy.Calla mentioned real estate was within ZenithVentures' business scope, so Ronan didn't object.Emily Thompson sarcastically said, "Could it be selling second-hand houses?"Calla immediately slam
The class president was so excited! He had mentioned that Ronan looked familiar, but couldn't recall where he had seen him. Ahem, President Ronan had not been involved in any scandals for almost half a year, and he hadn't appeared in gossip magazines. So, the class president finally recognized him. The crowd was shaken, and those who didn't understand pulled aside those who did to get the details. Heavens! The president of ZenithVentures! The head of an international conglomerate with assets in the billions! And he looks so young and handsome! He married their university classmate and is having a meal with them? Calla looked at the devastated Benjamin Turner and Emily Thompson and said, mocking yet triumphant, "Mr. Ronan always dotes on his wife. How come it turns into being an incapable man when it comes to you two?" Everyone expressed, "Lyra is so lucky!" "Oh my God, am I dreaming? Can
Emily Thompson immediately got angry and said, "When did we say we won't pay? Bring the bill!" The manager gestured, and a waiter quickly brought the bill. While pulling out her card, Emily Thompson disdainfully said, "Just a few tens of thousands? I can't afford that!" The waiter brought the bill and said, "Your total expenditure is 3.21 million." "What!" Emily Thompson's legs went weak, almost causing her to fall. She snatched the bill and carefully examined it. Ronan, embracing Lyra, raised an eyebrow, "For the sake of Lyra's classmates, let's forget about the one thousand and just give 3.2 million!" "How is that possible!" Emily Thompson's hand, with painted red nails, trembled non-stop. The manager explained, "Two pounds of white truffles alone cost three million. The remaining two hundred thousand is for other dishes, drinks, and the private room fee." Benjamin Turner, wanting to slip away unnoticed, was caught by
“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
