Chapter 21:Eye Contact

Lyra sat for a while and felt a bit thirsty. She reached out to take one of the clean cups placed on the table. Suddenly, a woman snatched the cup ahead of her, casting a disdainful glance at Lyra without a hint of sincerity in her apology: "Sorry, Mrs. Ronan."That woman deliberately emphasized the "Mrs. Ronan," her tone filled with sarcasm. Lyra lowered her eyes slightly and reached for another cup. However, another woman mimicked the first, snatching the cup away. On the table was a teapot of fruit flower tea. As the woman grabbed for the cup, her arm deliberately brushed against the teapot, causing it to tip over and spill scalding hot tea onto Lyra's leg."Ah!" Lyra jumped up, the redness of a burn spreading across her fair skin.Ronan, who had been playing cards, froze for a moment. He immediately threw his cards aside and rushed over, scooping Lyra up in his arms and heading swiftly to the restroom.Twisting the faucet open, he continuously poured cold water onto Lyra's leg, hi

Chapter 22:Heartbroken Again

"Humph!The only one worthy of Ronan is Octavia Everly!"Octavia Everly sweetly exclaimed, "Brother-in-law!" Then, she took hold of Ronan's other arm."Brother-in-law, I want to learn how to dance. Could you teach me?" She widened her beautiful eyes, pretending to be innocent.Ronan had little impression of the youngest daughter of the Everly Family and replied nonchalantly, "You should ask my wife about that. If she agrees, then I don't mind."Only then did Octavia Everly turn to look at Lyra, as if she had just noticed her, with a surprised expression. "Sister? Weren't you living in the villa? It's my first time seeing you at this kind of party."Lyra's expression remained unchanged; she clearly understood Octavia Everly's sarcasm about her not being favored by Ronan. But she truly didn't care.She responded indifferently, "I don't live there anymore."Octavia Everly was initially pleased to hear this, but immediately after, Lyra casually added, "I moved to the Emperor Manor."What!

Chapter 23:Go Home Together

"Mr. Ronan, we've found out that Torin's background is not simple, it seems to be related to the S Kingdom's royal family," the assistant reported."S Kingdom's royal family?" Ronan sneered. "Continue investigating, make sure to uncover his true identity!""Understood!"Lyra opened the door and happened to see the assistant coming out of Ronan's study. Upon seeing her, the assistant respectfully greeted, "Mrs. Lyra!"Following the study, Ronan came out and frowned upon seeing her. "Why aren't you resting properly?""I'm hungry," Lyra murmured.Ronan smirked and directly lifted her. "What are you doing?" Lyra exclaimed."Don't move, don't get blood on me," Ronan said mischievously.Ronan, as steady as a rock, carried her to the dining room, seating her on his lap, and handed her the menu. "What do you want to eat? Order for yourself."As he spoke, he leaned his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her neck. Uncomfortable and worried about staining his clothes with blo

Chapter 24:Attempting To Escape

Lyra was taken aback, surprised that he came to the Everly Family for her.Ronan had already picked up that set of revealing lingerie with his slender, attractive fingers, looking at her with a half-smile, half-expectant expression.With a twinkle in her eye, Lyra smiled, "Sorry, it's that time of the month. Did you forget?""Damn it!" Ronan's face darkened instantly.Today was the first day of her menstrual cycle; they couldn't engage in such activities.How could he forget in the heat of the moment?Ronan, full of anger, stood up and stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door in frustration.Lyra chuckled at seeing him flustered."Lyra," someone knocked on the door.Lyra walked over and opened it, frowning, "Auntie, what's up?""Drink this glass of milk before you go to bed. I prepared it especially for you," Rowena Winters pretended to be affectionate."Thank you," Lyra accepted the milk."You and Ronan should get along well!" Rowena Winters said, glancing inside as she spoke.Ly

Chapter 26:Escape Again

Ronan waved the red wine in his hand, casting a cold, eerie glance over at Lyra.Lyra stood there, frozen like a child caught doing something wrong.Ronan put his legs in front of her and calmly said, "I've been looking for you all day, legs are numb from exhaustion, give them a massage."Lyra clenched her fists tightly, nails digging into her palms, just to keep herself from going numb.Ronan's deep black eyes gazed at her, and he casually said to Zane, the butler, "Leave Apollo, everyone else scram."All the servants scurried away.In the spacious living room, only Ronan, Lyra, and the Tibetan Mastiff named Apollo remained.Apollo was well-trained, even without someone holding its leash, it stood perfectly still, maintaining its position.Without its owner's command, it could stand like this all day without making any aggressive moves.However, its crimson eyes were fixed on Lyra, making her tremble all over."What’s wrong? Don’t want to serve me, or do you prefer to keep Apollo com

Chapter 27:Lyra is Hospitalized

He secretly thought that as long as Lyra was willing to apologize and bow down to him, he could let things go. But this darn woman, she remained obstinate, single-minded about leaving him. So many women cried and begged to stay by his side, even if just as lovers. Yet, she didn't care one bit about being Ronan's wife.Suddenly, the assistant shouted, “Mr. Ronan, Madam Lyra collapsed!” Ronan was taken aback, but his body reacted before his mind. As the assistant finished speaking, he darted out like a gust of wind, with the assistant quickly following, carrying an umbrella.Lyra, clad in a white hospital gown, lay softly on the ground. Ronan had been about to approach when he abruptly halted. The assistant, hesitating for a moment, rushed ahead and held the umbrella over Lyra, calling out, “Madam, wake up!”It took a great effort for Lyra to slowly open her heavy eyelids. The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, holding the umbrella over her and softly advising, “Madam, won't you apolo

Chapter 28:Contacting Torin

Ronan's eyes darkened, his gaze falling on Lyra's face as if nothing had happened. He smirked, "If you're hot, then take it off!"The nurse smiled, her hands hooking around Ronan's neck.Lyra continued to stare at the TV show, but her fingers, hidden beneath the blanket, had clenched, turning gradually pale.She desperately suppressed her emotions, trying not to jump up and attack this despicable couple.The woman noticed Ronan's continuous stare at Lyra and pretended to be shy, saying, "Mr. Ronan, Miss Lyra is still here, and she might feel a bit scared..."The woman emitted a coquettish voice that made one's heart race and face blush, sounding so tender and sweet it could make one's bones melt."You want to do something, do it outside, don't disturb me while I'm watching TV!" Lyra suddenly said.Ronan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.Did Lyra truly not care about him?Even if he behaved like this with other women in front of her, was she completely indifferent?A surge of

Chapter 29:Ronan Felt Doubtful"

She took a deep breath and calmly said, "Zane, there are rumors outside that Ronan will divorce me sooner or later. Therefore, it seems I am just a decoration as the wife."Zane wiped his sweat, repeatedly saying, "Who dares to gossip! It's obvious that Master cares the most for Madam!"Lyra played with her nails and casually said, "Even if Ronan has many other women outside, I'm the wife in this house. I should be in charge, right?""Of course," Zane quickly agreed.Lesser Wife: Lyra was given the authority by Ronan to manage the Emperor's Pavilion."If these people are all old-timers, and they've all seen me make a fool of myself, I'm not satisfied with any of them," Lyra raised an eyebrow. "If you can't do it, you don't need to stay!"This was Ronan giving her the power to manage the Emperor's Pavilion. If he was willing to let her do it, why wouldn't she use it well?"I'll take care of it immediately!" Zane immediately arranged for several batches of people to be replaced for Lyra

Chapter 30:Escape Again

Aurelia told Lyra, "I've figured out everything about the security system here and the shift timings. I've made arrangements with Torin, and tonight is the perfect time to escape.""Tonight?" Lyra widened her eyes, then immediately covered her mouth, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.Aurelia handed a capsule-shaped pill to Lyra. "Put this pill into Ronan's bathwater. It'll ensure he sleeps for two hours."She then produced a tiny white pill. "This is the antidote. Take it first so that you don't get affected too.""We're going to drug Ronan?" Lyra asked nervously. She had never considered harming Ronan, even in her plans to escape."Ronan is too vigilant. All his food is thoroughly checked. It's impossible to drug his food. This capsule is cutting-edge technology, dissolving upon contact with water. It'll go unnoticed in the bathtub, and he won't have a clue," Aurelia explained triumphantly."Is it dangerous?" Lyra bit her lip.Aurelia chuckled, "You seem to care about him, huh?"
