Dorian Ashford burst into laughter and withdrew his hand from Cordelia Locke's skirt."Cousin, you must be very upset, right? After all, Cordelia used to be the woman you loved the most. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, she has quite a variety of skills in bed!"Cordelia Locke wore an expression of disbelief, her mind buzzing, unable to understand why Dorian Ashford would say such things.Ronan coldly stated, "We are still in a board meeting. Irrelevant individuals, please leave, or I will have security escort you out!"Irrelevant individuals?Cordelia Locke's body swayed.How did she and Ronan become irrelevant?Didn't he like her a lot?Didn't he sacrifice Lyra's life for her?Right, he must be angry because of Lyra!Thinking this way, Cordelia Locke's face revealed a somewhat unbearable sadness."Ronan, are you angry with me because of Lyra?" she asked."Shut up!" Ronan's eyes filled with deep sarcasm, his face contorted with a grimace. He clenched his teeth, saying, "You, a w

Torin's long-standing worry finally became a reality.Lyra had fallen into depression.Perhaps she hadn't even realized it herself, but whenever she stood on the balcony, there was an irresistible urge to jump.Torin knew the loss of the baby had hit her hard, making it difficult for her to move on.Torin had Garrick Monroe provide psychological therapy for her, and Garrick Monroe was quite speechless."I'm a surgeon, okay? Why do you come to me for everything?""Then find a psychologist; I'm afraid Lyra might consider drastic measures!" Torin said impatiently."I'm fed up with you!

Lyra's hands, resting on her lap, gradually clenched into fists.The overwhelming sense of humiliation engulfed her like a tidal wave.She desperately wanted to ask the noble queen what she took her for.Even if she loved Torin, she wouldn't stoop to being someone's mistress, a hidden third party.Taking a deep breath, Lyra's gaze slowly fell on Victoria Reynolds' face, somewhat resembling Torin's.Lyra smirked coldly, speaking each word deliberately, "I appreciate your concern, but I don't need it."Victoria Reynolds sarcastically curved her lips, eyes filled with disdain.Over the years, countless socialite ladies had tried to seduce Torin.Were these women not all lured by the glory and power of the royal family?In the constitutional monarchy of S, the royal family held an immensely prestigious position with real power.In the end, wasn't Lyra just like those women?She despised the identity of a mistress. Did she also harbor ambitions for the queen's position?Humph! With what qu

Lyra's hair was disheveled, her attire disarrayed, and her face was pale as if she could collapse at any moment.She lowered her gaze, concealing her emotions.In this moment, she chose to stand tall with stubbornness.Victoria Reynolds already looked down on her, and she couldn't afford to show any trace of weakness.Lyra, staggering, was pushed out of the small room.Victoria Reynolds held the medical report, and upon seeing the words "No diseases, noticeable surgical marks on the uterus, history of pregnancy," a contemptuous sneer appeared on her lips.She had guessed earlier that Lyra was not someone meek and mild.With her fading beauty, she dared to try to seduce the Crown Prince of S Country.It was simply wishful thinking!Waving the medical report in her hand, Victoria Reynolds mocked, "Miss Lyra, I advise you to recognize your identity and leave Torin. Greedy people never end well!"Lyra clenched her lips firmly.Yes, she had been married and had a child.However, she never

Lyra sat by the window, holding a sketchbook filled with chaotic drawings.Her hand with the brush remained still as her eyes stared blankly at the sky outside.Suddenly, a strong gust of wind rattled the windows and doors.Lyra stood up to close the window.Turning around, she noticed Torin standing at the doorway, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.Torin saw her by the window, and his heart skipped a beat, a hint of anxiety creeping in.Was her depression not improving?Seeing him, Lyra's hand holding the brush trembled, leaving an abrupt mark on the paper.She saw the anxiety in Torin's eyes.She was not entirely calm yet; at the sight of Torin, his face reminiscent of Victoria Reynolds, memories of the previous humiliation involuntarily surfaced.Even though she knew it wasn't his fault, she still didn't want to see him right now.The suppressed grievances and vulnerability, forcefully held back, burst out uncontrollably the moment she saw him.She lowered her gaze slightly, eyes

Torin stood by the railing, gazing into the twinkling lights of the city. A breeze brushed against his handsome and gentle face, giving him an aura of sorrow. Lyra involuntarily walked up to him. Torin reached out and gently took her hand, remaining silent for a long time before deciding to tell her a story. "Lyra, did you know? I have a younger brother," he said softly. "Every year on this day is the most painful for me because it's the anniversary of my brother's death." Lyra looked at him in disbelief. With a sorrowful expression on his face, Torin suppressed his voice, as if afraid that the sorrow brewing inside him might overflow. Torin's father, the current monarch of S country, married Victoria Reynolds, a woman who could help him consolidate his power. They had a pair of twins, Torin and Ethan Graves. Victoria Reynolds, a ruthless woman, abandoned her children as soon as they were born because she knew that having these two children secured her position and status.

They had a chance to be together before, but love hadn't had the chance to bloom, and she was forcibly taken away by Ronan.She shook her head.Hadn't they agreed to forget the past?Why did she still think of that man?After her "death," Ronan would surely be happy because her bone marrow saved Cordelia Locke, finally allowing him to be with his beloved.The only heartache was for her seven-month-old baby who hadn't even had a chance to see the world...From Lyra's eyes, Torin seemed to understand what she was thinking.He suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, pulling her forcibly from her memories."Lyra, do you like me too?"Lyra paused, as if realizing something. She tilted her head up, looking at his gentle face, and whispered, "Yes.""Lyra, I'm so happy! I'm really happy!" Torin hugged her tightly."Lyra, promise me, will you be my girlfriend?"Lyra nodded gently.He lifted her petite body entirely and spun her around in place.Torin was convinced that their future would be h

The desire to survive made Lyra calm down completely."Who sent you?" she shouted, trying to distract the attention of the thug."Hmph! You're about to die, why ask so many questions?" the thug replied viciously."What did that person offer you? I can give you more money!" she tried to negotiate.The thug sneered, "Just you? You'll never earn that much money in your whole life!"Seeing an opportunity, Lyra grabbed the thug's hand and bit down hard, then stood up and ran as fast as she could.The thug tried to grab her from behind, but in her struggle, Lyra grabbed a vase from the staircase landing and without hesitation smashed it over the thug's head!"You stinking woman!"The thug's head was bleeding from the impact, and he slapped Lyra to the ground.Lyra was dazed from the blow, feeling dizzy and unable to get up.No, she couldn't die here!She struggled to stand up, staggering forward, but the thug grabbed her from behind and dragged her onto the balcony.Lyra's heart skipped a b

Torin faintly curved his lips. "Yes." The shop assistant smiled and said, "If you're giving them to your girlfriend, it's usually red roses." Torin nodded. "Then let's go with red roses!" It was the shop assistant's mention of "girlfriend" that made him ecstatic. After buying the flowers, Torin was about to return to the car when suddenly, there was a deafening explosion from the road behind him. The sound was deafening, clearly the sound of an explosion. Such a loud noise instantly caused panic in everyone's hearts, and screams erupted from the crowd. Looking up, a towering flame had ignited. That was the sound of a bomb. Lyra was still in the car!
