The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 114

The bodyguard heard it.

emmm...

It was as if they could imagine the scene!

But if they didn't go in and watch, and Melvin ran away, they would not know how to explain ...

The two people were a little hesitated. Melvin smiled and continued, "All the toilet windows in the Freeman Manor are sealed in order to prevent accidents. If you don't believe it, you can check."

As he said, he walked in and tried to open the window in front of the bodyguards.

Then they personally tried to open it. After confirming that it wouldn't open, they reviewed the whole toilet again, and there was only a ventilation pipe in the ceiling overhead. But the pipe was very small, and it was not like it could accommodate an adult male.

Seeing the two of them wavering, Melvin added, "I don't feel well in my stomach, so I may need fifteen minutes. So please wait a little longer."

The two men agreed.

"You only have fifteen minutes. If you don't come out by then, we don't care what you're doing in there."

Melvin nodded and the bodyguard turned their heads to go out.

He gently locked the door behind him, quickly stepped onto the sink and turned on the ventilation duct in the ceiling.

In fact, this ventilation duct was originally designed to facilitate the unexpected situation with specifically-built escape routes.

From the outside, it looked like the pipe was very small. When opened, inside was different. There was half a brick that was glued with the iron mesh of the pipe, which was not easy to notice.

Inside, there were two passages, one leading to the rooftop of the villa and the other leading to the end of the back door.

When he entered the Freeman Manor, he heard unusual bird calls from Chad. The sound came from above, so he chose to take the rooftop path.

Although the pipe was enough to accommodate him, it was just barely suitable. He was tall and can only move forward with knees bent. After he only proceeded half of the path, he was already tired and sweaty. The injury in his back began to hurt as well.

But with only fifteen minutes, he had to grit his teeth, hold on for dear life and pick up the pace.

Opening the rooftop vent, Chad, who was hiding in the shadows, saw him and immediately ran over to help him.

He just climbed a section of the pipe, and was covered in cold sweat. His tired hands were shaking, which made Chad feel very strange, "Boss, your state is not quite right? Even if the back injury is not completely healed, you won't be so tired as this, right?"

"I was injected with a modified version of the 023 special effects drug."

"What!?"

Chad's heart shuddered, "Did Miss Carroll give you the injection? She's ... too cruel."

Melvin didn't say anything. His eyes were dark and his face had a mysterious expression.

Although Lyra had not told him the name of the drug, he had used 023 before when treating prisoners of war. And the one Lyra had given him was a toned-down version with reduced effect.

Chad was emotional, "Boss, since you are out, we can leave together so you don't have to suffer. Our brothers are outside in ambush, just waiting for your order."

Melvin was adamant.

"She has secrets, maybe related to the Freeman family. I stay with her to do investigation. Now there is not much time, I will be short."

Chad nodded his head.

Melvin continued, telling Chad about all his previous suspicions.

"Contact Jay. I suspect Lyra is likely to have a connection with the four big families in Suham. Garrett and Keith attach great importance to her, so first rule out the Lloyd family and Frazier family. The White family... absolutely impossible. So focus on the Callahan family. As long as there are girls who missed or disappeared six years ago or the timeline is similar with Lyra's. Report to me."

"Yes."

Chad thought for a moment, "So today Wesley said Miss Carroll killed old Freeman ... do you believe?"

Melvin's eyes narrowed slightly and a hint of danger erupted from his dark eyes.
