The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 72

"What did they say?"

Keith frowned and waited for his answer with interest.

"Mr. Frazier has confined Miss Irene. She is not allowed to come out without his order." The butler replied respectfully.

Keith grunted, "Good, so she can no longer come to Frayton to make troubles. I finally can a peaceful life for a while."

He waved his hand, gesturing the butler to leave, while he himself continued to stare at the closed door of the room.

The Frazier's residence in Suham.

Irene went into a frenzy in her room.

"This is too much for dad! How can he lock me in my room and not even let me out this door!"

A servant approached her timidly and comforted her in a soft voice, "Miss, don't be too sad. You're just grounded. You can stay at home in peace for a while and it will be over soon."

"You know nothing about it! Get the hell out of here!"

Irene took out all the flowers from a vase and threw them at the servant, "Get out! Don't annoy me!"

As if she didn't feel relieved enough, she grabbed the vase and slammed it on the ground hard.

"Miss, you can't do that! This is a crystal vase. Madam brought it back from Fospona. It's worth a lot of money. You can't throw it!"

The servant looked at the vase whose brim was broken and was very distressed, but did not dare to go forward easily to stop it.

"All these things are my family's. I can throw them as I want! How dare you, a servant , tell me what to do? If you dare to talk too much again, I'll pull out your tongue!"

She pushed all the cosmetics off the table, and there was a crackling and crunching sound on the floor that was very harsh.

The servant knew that any further persuasion would be self-defeating, so she simply shut her mouth, closed the door and left.

Mr. Frazier and Mrs. Frazier naturally heard Irene's rant upstairs, and Mr. Frazier grimaced and threw his cigarette into an ashtray.

"Look at the good daughter you've taught!"

"What are you taking about?"

Mrs. Frazier was displeased, "Is she not your daughter? You want to get rid of your responsibility?"

"If you hadn't been spoiling her, would she have become like this? This time, Keith wants to withdraw from the engagement. No matter how grovelling I am, he insists. If we let her continue to act arbitrarily, the Frazier family will have to fall into her hands!" Mr. Frazier was very angry.

"You!"

Mrs. Frazier was just about to sass back when Garrett Frazier, who had come down from upstairs, saw that the atmosphere was not good and planed to mediate.

"Dad, Mom, Irene is grounded. It's normal she's in a bad mood. Just let her vent out!"

"That's not the way to vent out! Listen, if she keeps doing it like this, all those world-class treasures at home will be gone in a moment!"

Mr. Frazier pointed upstairs and sighed repeatedly, regretting that his daughter did not live up to his expectations.

The sound of smashing things was still faintly audible, and Garrett pondered for a moment before deciding to go upstairs and comfort her himself.

Upstairs, Irene was holding an antique decorative plate and was about to smash it on the floor.

"Who pisses off our Miss Irene so much?" Garrett took the plate from her hand and pulled her down on a couch, "Anger hurts your body. Just stop it and get over it."

"Garrett!"

Irene pulled his arm and was aggrieved, "Just for a divorced woman, Keith actually wants to back out of the marriage with me!"

Garrett pinched her face gently.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as that, right? I know you very well."

"Since that woman's divorce, Keith has been letting her live in the villa and treating her so tenderly and considerately. How do you expect me to endure this!?"

With an indignant look on her face, Irene continued.

"Garrett, I know you love me the most since I was little. Help me get rid of Lyra, okay!?" She shook his arm and pouted, "Can you tolerate and watch your sister's favorite man being snatched away by another woman?"

Garrett, however, paused and his hands pressed down on Irene's shoulders, "Irene, say again, what is that woman's name?"

Irene was a bit puzzled, but still said it again, "Lyra, an orphan from Frayton orphanage. What qualification does she have to steal Keith from me? Garrett, do you know her?"

Lyra ...

The name was too familiar.

Could it be her?

But how can she be an orphan ...?

Garrett let go her shoulders and turned his head to digest her words, with suspicion rising in his mind.

"Garrett, what's wrong with you?"

Irene noticed his abnormality and asked suspiciously.

"This Lyra, do you have a photo of her?"

"She was in the news some time ago. I guess there are photos of her face online. You don't know it?"

Garrett shook his head.

He didn't like to pay attention to internet gossip, but what Irene said was not accessible at all in Suham. It looked like the news was blocked by someone of one of the several big families.

Could it be the Lloyd family?

But why would the Lloyd family want to block Suham's news about this woman?

The doubts and speculations in his mind grew deeper and deeper.

Irene sat down on the couch and was still furious.

She took out her phone, found out a photo of Lyra that she had taken, and handed it to Garrett.

"Garrett, you must help me. As long as this bitch is dead, no one will steal Keith from me ..."

Irene was still chattering, but Garrett was looking at the photos on her phone, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Garrett? Did you hear me?!"

Irene's roar interrupted his trance.

"So, you just want her to die so badly?"

"Yes!" Irene was firm.

Garrett knocked her on the head and was exasperated.

"What am I supposed to scold you? The more you target her, the more you are personally pushing Keith away from you!"

"Garrett, what do you mean?"

Irene dodged his hand and was very upset.

Garrett laughed while he was infuriated, "You're getting his only biological sister killed. Do you think he'll not alienate you and hate you?"

"What?! Sister!"

Irene was shocked beyond words.

Lyra was Keith's sister? How was this possible!?

"Didn't the Lloyd family announce the death of their youngest daughter 6 years ago? Although I've never met her, I've checked Lyra's background and she's clearly an orphan!"

Garrett sighed, "With the Lloyd family's power, with the intention of not wanting people to investigate it, how you can possibly find it out? As for why the Lloyd family did it, perhaps, it was to protect her."

But in a few minutes, Garrett had made them all clear approximately.

Irene froze in place, and was already shocked to the point of being wordless.

Garrett glanced at the room that was messed by her, "If you still want to keep this engagement with Keith, don't even think about killing her. In the meantime, you should stay home and think about how to apologize to her."

He patted Irene on the shoulder and left her bedroom.

When Lyra disappeared 6 years ago and the Lloyd family announced her death, he was devastated and inconsolable for a time.

Later on, although he was in many dates with a number of female celebrities, which were arranged by his parents, explicitly or implicitly, he could never forget her.

Now that he knew that she was alive and well, and she was in Frayton, he can't wait to fly back to her.

After Garrett left, Irene was still stunned to the spot and took a long time to come back to her senses.

Everything she didn't understand now had an explanation.

Why did Lyra have dinner with Keith in his office? Why did Keith take good care of her? Why did Lyra take the position of agency director as soon as she came to Angle Group first time... ?

Then she, wouldn't she have almost harmed her future sister-in-law?
