The two men exchanged a glance, each feeling a sense of victory in their minds.

Over the next two weeks, Ronan made phone calls every day, seeking help from all directions.

"Is this Peter? Hey, long time no see! It's like this, my wife's grandmother..."

"Jackson, how are your connections in Minnesota? I need to ask you for a favor..."

"I'm Ronan, yes, there's something I'd like your help with..."

Ronan had changed. Those phone calls were something he had never done before, and he ended up owing many favors.

But now he didn't care at all.

His attitude in speaking was also something Lyra had never seen before.

He, who had always been a dominant figure in T City, now spoke with an obvious awkwardness and stiffness, appearing very unfamiliar.

He had always held himself high and never lowered his posture to ask for help from others.

But now, for Lyra, he shamelessly went around asking people for help.

Even with some people he barely knew, he called and exchanged pleasantries.

    Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Ronan!" Ronan and Lyra simultaneously stopped in their tracks and looked toward the source of the voice. A stylishly dressed woman hurriedly ran out from a jewelry store."So coincidental! Mr. Ronan, you're here too?" The woman stopped in front of Ronan.Ronan looked at the woman somewhat absentmindedly, taking several seconds to recall that she was a young model he had played with before.What was her name again?Ronan couldn't remember.He subconsciously nodded, "Uh, just wandering around."Torin lightly curled his lips and asked, "Mr. Ronan, is this your friend?"Ronan furrowed his brows, wondering what this damn fox was scheming. He hadn't engaged in such activities outside for eight hundred years!Unfortunately, due to too many past indiscretions, the dead fox had caught some evidence.As expected, Torin lightly chuckled, insinuating, "Mr. Ronan has good social skills; you can encounter your friends even in the United States, huh!"Ronan directly i

    After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Ronan took advantage of Torin going to the restroom and immediately jumped over to occupy Torin's seat, sitting confidently next to Lyra.Lyra, half-asleep, opened her eyes and glanced at him."Be good, keep sleeping," Ronan petted her head affectionately, making her lean against his shoulder.Without fully realizing it was Ronan, Lyra closed her eyes again, continuing to sleep peacefully.When Torin returned, he saw Ronan taking his seat and stood in front of him with narrowed eyes."Mr. Ronan, it seems like your seat isn't here."Ronan smirked, indifferent, "If I get up now, Lyra will wake up."Torin, seeing Lyra sleeping soundly, hesitated. She had been through a lot in the past month.He couldn't bear to disturb her, so reluctantly took a seat nearby.Ronan felt so triumphant inside!Damn fox, try to compete with me!Little did he know, his moment of tr

    He waited for her for a full two years, and now that she finally woke up, how did she manage to fall asleep again?"What's going on?" Ronan asked with a serious face.The doctor explained with some difficulty, "Miss Cordelia woke up, but due to your request, we couldn't let her leave. She couldn't stay idle and helped around the hospital, but ended up collapsing from exhaustion.""Helped?" Ronan roared angrily, "I've donated so much money to this hospital, and this is how you treat the people I care about!"The doctor was frightened, repeatedly waving his hands, "Mr. Ronan, you've misunderstood, it's not our fault!"Suddenly, the person in the bed made a sound, slowly opening her eyes.Ronan excitedly bent over, standing by the bedside, "Are you awake? Are you okay? Do you remember me?"Cordelia Locke, upon opening her eyes, saw a face as handsome as jade.Those eyes, like obsidian, seemed to possess a magical charm, drawing pe

    "No, I don't want to go in," she said.Torin held her fingers, and Lyra's fingertips were a bit cold.Torin squeezed her hand firmly and gently said, "I'll accompany you inside."Lyra looked at him, Torin's eyes always so gentle.It gave the illusion that every word he spoke had the power to soothe one's heart.Lyra involuntarily nodded, Torin holding her hand, pushed open the rusty gate with the other.Weeds were rampant underfoot, and with every step Lyra took, she thought.The cherry tree in front of the door would bloom with beautiful cherry blossoms every spring.After the flowers fell, small cherries would grow, red and sour, very delicious.Her grandmother had made her a small swing, and she used to swing high there when she was a child.Her grandmother always sat on the wicker chair, watching her with kindness.However, everything had disappeared.In front of her, there was only a messy yard

    Ronan felt a pang of heartache at that smile. If it weren't for the trouble on Lyra's side, he really couldn't bear to leave."Cordelia, give me some time; I will take care of you," he said.Cordelia Locke's eyes sparkled with sweetness as she said, "I'll be waiting for you."Her restrained and strong face made Ronan even more distressed. He gently kissed her face."I'm leaving!""I'll be thinking of you and waiting for you!" Cordelia Locke cheered herself up in her heart.Cordelia Locke, come on! You can do it!She fell in love with this handsome man at first sight.He was so gentle to her, giving her such a big house to live in, and saying he would take care of her.She was the happiest woman in the world!Cordelia Locke immersed herself in sweetness, not thinking at all about Ronan's identity and why he treated her well.Today, Lyra went shopping, and suddenly a person rushed out, holding a can of red pa

    Saying that she saved him just to keep him!Ronan, the big CEO, had such a magical thought process.For the past two years, he had firmly believed that Cordelia Locke was his lifesaver.When he was rescued, the first person he saw lying unconscious beside him was Cordelia Locke.Moreover, Cordelia Locke was such a kind girl.Rescuing someone was something Cordelia Locke would do.With this in mind, various emotions surged in Ronan's heart."Lyra, the person in the warehouse was me," he said."Was it you?" Lyra widened her eyes. "The person I saved back then was you?"Ronan fell silent and smiled bitterly, "Lyra, don't lie. The one who saved me back then was Cordelia Locke, not you."Lyra instinctively said, "I'm not lying. This burn mark is the evidence!"Ronan shook his head, cradling her face with great tenderness."Lyra, I'll forgive you this time, but don't lie again. Cordelia has sacrificed too much for me, and I don't want to hurt her."Lyra's lips trembled noticeably, and she s

    She just couldn't accept it. When she was in the United States, Lyra asked her to repay the money, causing her to lose face.So, she arranged for someone to splash red paint on Lyra and called a few reporters to take photos, hoping to embarrass Lyra."Since you like paint so much, let me show you how it feels to be splashed."Ronan leisurely rolled up his sleeves, picked up the paint bucket on the ground, and a pungent smell wafted through. He unconsciously frowned."Ronan, please don't do this, I won't dare again!" Grace pleaded bitterly."You should be thankful someone helped my wife block it, or do you think today would only end with paint?" Ronan poured a whole bucket of paint directly on her."Ah!"Grace's whole body was covered in red paint, looking disheveled.A few drops of paint splattered onto Ronan's clean and slender hands."Disgusting!" He exclaimed in anger.He signaled to his bodyguards, who promptly picked up the paint from the ground and splashed it all over Grace.Sh

    Lyra said, and Cordelia Locke, who had been despondent, immediately revived.No wonder Ronan treated himself so well; it turns out he doesn't love his wife!Due to a high-profile business alliance, Ronan was forced to marry a woman he didn't love. How miserable his life must be!Cordelia Locke's lifelong ambition has been to help others and assist anyone in need around the world.She must rescue Ronan from this painful marriage and ensure he lives a happy life!Cordelia Locke raised a sincere smile and said, "Miss Lyra, I promise you...""What are you talking about?" A tall figure appeared at the door, and Lyra was startled. Cordelia Locke, like a happy bird, had already thrown herself into Ronan's arms."Ronan, don't worry. From now on, I'll make sure you're happy every day!" Cordelia Locke blushed and said.Ronan's gaze fell on Lyra, pushing Cordelia Locke aside and striding over to her. "Lyra, what are you doing here?" he questioned.Lyra raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"Ron

    “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
