chapter 11:Attending the gala

Ronan's eyes were deep and distant. He never expected Lyra to look so... adorable when she was angry. Lyra stood there with her head held high, confidently giving the BMW girl a couple of slaps. Her pretty little chin tilted occasionally, her voice slightly rising, appearing both beautiful, haughty, and arrogant. Wearing a red dress that complemented her black hair and slender figure, she was eye-catching in every way, effortlessly overshadowing the BMW girl. But she deliberately avoided looking at him, cold and indifferent, leaving him feeling rather irritated. The BMW girl was subdued by Lyra's presence, covering her face, dumbfounded, staring at her for a good while before her mind sluggishly caught up. She realized that the woman who just struck her had been standing quietly by the side earlier. Lyra's eyes remained calm as she looked at the BMW girl, her voice devoid of any emotion, "The traffic accident was entirely your fault. Both the traffic police and the insurance comp

Chapter 12:Being Framed

Lyra heard that annoying voice and turned to see Lumi Hawthorne standing there with an air of arrogance.As Lumi Hawthorne spoke, instead of getting angry, Lyra showed a hint of pity in her eyes.Used to being arrogant, Lumi Hawthorne immediately squinted her eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"Lyra smirked and suddenly grinned, "Having a rough time lately, huh? No awards at the film festival, plus getting overshadowed by newcomers, tsk tsk…"Lyra stopped at a certain point, and without saying more, Lumi Hawthorne understood herself.Lumi Hawthorne was momentarily stunned. She saw Lyra, a small company employee, appearing so beautifully dressed at a charity evening.She intended to mock and ridicule her but was taken aback by Lyra's words.Lumi Hawthorne had been highly anticipated to win awards at the film festival recently but ended up not receiving a single one. Moreover, due to her insulting remarks towards Lyra, she lost the endorsement from Horizon Global Enterprises Inc.

Chapter 13:A Drama of New Love and Old Flame

"How come you dare not let us search your bag? Is it because the diamond necklace is hidden inside your handbag?" Lumi Hawthorne questioned aggressively.Various discussions arose among the crowd."Could it be that this Miss Lyra is just money-minded?""It's hard to say. After all, she's just an ordinary staff member and can't afford such expensive jewelry."Marisol Sterling's eyes were all teary, mascara smudged, and dark clumps stuck under her eyes. She looked as unattractive as could be.Her mind was in a haze. If the four-million-dollar necklace was lost, she would have to compensate. Being new to the industry and without any substantial work, she hadn't even climbed into Ronan's bed yet. How could she afford such a huge loss?Marisol Sterling ran over, and linked her arm with Ronan's, tears and snot streaming down her face, acting helpless."Ronan, it must be this woman who stole the diamond necklace! You have to help me!" she pleaded.Ronan distanced himself somewhat disgustedly

Chapter 14:Ambiguous Atmosphere

Torin immediately nodded gently and said, "I'll drive you back."He glanced up, looking towards Ronan as if he were a victor, and calmly uttered, "Mr. Ronan, I take my leave!"Ronan, if you knew that I'm taking away your wife, what expression would you have?Torin drove Lyra back home, but she remained unusually silent throughout the journey, clearly preoccupied with something.While listening to music, Lyra couldn't help but think about Ronan, the man she couldn't understand at all.She began to wonder, can someone you fall for at first sight truly remain in your heart for a long time? But she resolved that she wouldn't like him any more in the future.Torin's handsome face was partially bathed in the dim yellow light coming through the car window. He spoke in an almost casual manner, "Ronan controls ZenithVentures, decisive and ruthless in business, but who would have thought his private life was so unsightly? One lover after another, even being jealous in public."Lyra sneered, "He

Chapter 15:Confess to him

Torin fell silent for a moment, struggling to suppress his rage. Then, he started the car and drove back to his apartment. Seeing Lyra in that state, he was determined not to leave her alone, worried that something might happen to her, considering she might have other injuries.Throughout the journey, Lyra buried her face in Torin's suit jacket and curled up tightly in the passenger seat, trying to minimize her presence.Arriving at the underground parking lot of the apartment building, Torin carried Lyra out of the car. Afraid of being seen in her disheveled state, she kept her small face tightly pressed against Torin's chest. Fortunately, they encountered no one along the way.After entering the apartment and hearing the sound of the door locking, Torin settled Lyra on the sofa, but she immediately leaped up. With her head hung low, allowing her long hair to shield her distressed face, she said hesitantly, "I feel uncomfortable. I want to take a shower..."As she spoke, her voice tr

Chapter 16:Sudden Situation

Torin's gentle tone carried an indescribable tenderness as he said, "I like you."Lyra was stunned.Torin's facial features were extremely soft, with an inexplicable tenderness in his eyes. He looked into her eyes and said in a warm voice,"I'll treat you well. I only like you, and my eyes and heart belong only to you. I will never look at another woman. Can someone like me like you?"When Torin's car arrived at the neighborhood where Lyra rented, Lyra's mind was in a haze.Torin unbuckled his seatbelt, took out a plastic bag from the backseat, and took out all the medicine boxes from inside. He softly instructed her about which medicines were for external use and which ones were for ingestion.Lyra's face didn't react, but her mind was in turmoil, like a chaotic fight."I like you.""I'll only like you.""I won't let anyone hurt you.""You don't have to rush to give me an answer; I can wait for you."From childhood to adulthood, she had never experienced love, and nobody had treated

Chapter 18:He Knew!

Orion Everly's car had just entered the hospital gate when another car brushed past him.Orion Everly paused for a moment. Why did that car resemble Ronan's vehicle a bit? Was he here to visit Lyra's grandmother?Orion Everly immediately shook his head. Ronan had been carousing outside for two years since his marriage. How could he possibly be visiting the hospital to see Lyra's grandmother?Perhaps he was mistaken!In Lyra's mind, she once again firmly decided to divorce. Divorce, it must happen!She was gritting her teeth, consumed by anger when suddenly the door to the hospital room was pushed open again. She looked up in surprise, "Dad?"Orion Everly entered the room and upon seeing Lyra, immediately spoke in a stern voice, "Lyra, what are you doing here?"Upon hearing this, Lyra subconsciously clenched her fists, "Grandma is critically ill.

Chapter 20:Welcome To His World

Ronan kicked Lumi Hawthorne away with disgust and said coldly, "Slap her!"Two strong maids immediately stepped forward; one held Lumi Hawthorne down while the other fiercely slapped her face.Lumi Hawthorne's face was slapped dozens of times in an instant, red and purple, covered in overlapping fingerprints."Let me go, I was wrong, I beg you!" Lumi Hawthorne cried out, losing all her previous arrogance.After the beating stopped, the maids escorted Lumi Hawthorne to the backyard.A moment later, there were cries for help and terrifying barking from the dogs.The sound, seemingly from hell, put the servants of the Imperial Garden on edge."Sir, the person has been thrown into Apollo's cage," the steward Zane respectfully reported.Ronan abruptly turned his head, his icy gaze suddenly sharpening. "Since when has the Imperial Garden become an open place for anyone to enter and leave at will? If I'm asleep at night, can anyone just come in?"Zane was terrified, his heart pounding with f
