The man, pulling up his pants, walked out and, upon seeing Brandon Carter, laughed heartily, "Miss Everly is indeed a rare beauty! Why don't you go in and have some fun?""I spit on that!" Brandon Carter said with disdain. "I have no interest in someone others have played with. I only like genuinely innocent girls.""That's true!" the man laughed. "You, Brandon Carter, being a big star, can have any girl you want."Someone asked with concern, "I heard that Miss Everly, from the Everly family, married Ronan, the CEO of Zenith Ventures. Won't it cause trouble for us?""Don't worry!" Brandon Carter said carelessly. "Miss Everly from the Everly family doesn't even care about herself. As long as she still wants hallucinogens, isn't she at my mercy?"The crowd praised Brandon Carter again, flattering him.After everyone was satisfied, Brandon Carter stood up and walked into the nauseating-smelling room.As soon as he entered, he saw Octavia Everly lying naked on the bed, covered in bruises
"Lyra, you heartless person! The Everly family raised you, and now you don't even care about your sister's life and death! I'd rather die, Lyra, you damned person!""Lyra, you're unfilial. You'll be struck by divine punishment in the future!"Rowena Winters' scolding, like that of a shrew, attracted a lot of onlookers. Orion Everly felt utterly embarrassed.That disobedient Octavia Everly, actually taking hallucinogens and getting involved with five or six men...Unable to handle the situation, they had no choice but to seek Lyra's help, hoping that Ronan could assist.Rowena Winters, instead of pleading, continued to verbally attack Lyra.The security guards called the Emperor Hotel and explained the situation. After seeking approval from Zane the butler, they brought Orion Everly and Rowena Winters inside.Lyra sat on the sofa, expression indifferent. "I heard you were cursing me at the entrance?"Orion Everly awkwardly said, "It's not like that! We were just stopped by the security
Lyra looked at the handsome man in front of her with disbelief.Ronan's tone was as calm as if he were talking about the weather.Although Lyra didn't like Octavia Everly, was this not going too far?Ronan approached her slowly and said softly, "I didn't force her; it was all Octavia Everly's doing."Even though Lyra was not a saint, she and Octavia Everly were half-sisters, after all."Send her to rehab, and let's not pursue this any further," Lyra said, lifting her gaze.Ronan smirked, "Do you know what she did?""I don't want to know," Lyra said calmly. "Even if she did something wrong, this punishment is enough. Send her to rehab, spare her."Ronan looked at Lyra and saw disgust in her eyes.But she had no idea how poisonous Octavia Everly's heart was.First, she found a woman with a similar appearance and temperament to get close to him, attempting to seduce him.She even schemed to have Brandon Carter use the same method, using hallucinogens to control Lyra.Lyra did not know th
His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Lyra, come here!"Lyra shook her head, determinedly saying, "I'm going to the United States.""You want to elope with Torin?" Ronan gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead. Ronan's eyes were filled with a crazed intensity as he grabbed her wrist, questioning her through clenched teeth."You're carrying my child, and you still want to elope with Torin?"Lyra looked at him calmly, her eyes like those of a stranger, and she stubbornly said, "My grandmother is missing in the United States, and I must go find her."Ronan's eyes flickered.He knew how important her grandmother was to her. She had been insisting on going to the U.S. to find her grandmother.He promised her that after she gave birth, he would take her there.But now, her grandmother had gone missing?"No, you can't go," Ronan's tone was authoritative and unquestionable, and his fingers holding her wrist started to tighten slightly.Lyra endured the pain, preventing herself from
Suddenly, a large hand reached over and pulled down the airplane window shade.Lyra was stunned, turning her head to see Ronan looking at her.Then, he slowly spoke, "Lyra, I'll accompany you to find your grandmother.""I'll accompany you to find your grandmother."This sentence made Lyra freeze in place.She suddenly felt her nose tingling, and the already uncomfortable mood became even more depressing.Her grandmother was missing, and she was anxious beyond words.She was just a young girl in her early twenties, inexperienced in the ways of the world, had never been to distant America, and had no idea what to do.In times of helplessness, she hoped she could rely on her husband.To have someone standing by her side, accompanying her through the storm.Without saying a word, Ronan had already tightly grabbed her hand, and his eyes looked ahead with indifference.Lyra, looking at their tightly interlocked fingers, suddenly didn't know what to do.After a good while, she finally heard
As if he could hold up the sky, Lyra's heart gradually calmed down.Ronan looked at the director and spoke fluently in English, "Before my grandmother went missing, was there anything unusual that happened?"The director rambled on, and Ronan translated each sentence for Lyra.It turned out that the day before her grandmother went missing, a young man had come to the nursing home looking for her.The next day, her grandmother mysteriously disappeared."Who is that person?" Lyra asked anxiously.Lyra had grown up with her grandmother, and she knew better than anyone that her grandmother had no other relatives besides her.Why would someone come here to see her grandmother?Her grandmother's senile dementia was already severe, forgetting many things, and becoming less lucid with each passing day.Even if that person really knew her grandmother, what did he want from her?The director shook his head, saying a few words.Lyra understood that he didn't know who that person was; the name o
Don't think he doesn't know. That damn fox spirit, Torin, always looks at Lyra with that sly expression, as if trying to undress her with his eyes.If he hadn't been keeping a close eye, the fox spirit might have confused Lyra, leading her to book a room together.Maybe he would've become the third wheel, and a shiny green hat would be placed on his head.So he had to keep an eye on them, absolutely not giving the fox spirit any chance!Lyra disdainfully snorted, "Ronan, don't assume everyone is like you.""Do you dare to say he's not like me?" Ronan instantly got irritated."He's not like me!""He's just like me, always wanting to have you!" Ronan asserted confidently."..."How could Lyra forget? How could she compare Ronan's shamelessness?Her cheeks blushed instantly, and she covered her face with a towel, "Snap," closing the bathroom door.Ronan crossed his arms, standing outside the bathroom, confidently and loudly saying:"All men are the same. I know exactly what he's thinking
"Cut it out." The two tall men exchanged a glance. Ronan quickly said, "Lyra, don't be afraid. Maybe it's not her at all?"Torin, with deep eyes, looked at Lyra and said, "I've seen your grandmother; I can recognize her. Don't go in, wait for me here."Lyra desperately shook her head; she knew they were trying to comfort her."I must see it with my own eyes to feel at ease," she said.With the support of the two men, Lyra walked into the police station, staggering with each step.Her breath became increasingly rapid, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.Torin walked over and spoke to an African-American police officer.The officer led them to identify the body.Finally, they reached an empty room, the temperature dropping several degrees, sending shivers down their spines.Lyra, not knowing where she got the strength, suddenly pushed away the two men beside her and rushed forward.On a table, a body wrapped in a body bag. The African-American police officer
