The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 99

Her hands turned white at the knuckles from clutching the sheets so hard.

She was obviously fearful that he would answer her question with a yes, but she still expected it a little bit.

But this time, Micah said nothing, coldly letting go of her hand and pushing the door without looking back.

Katelyn and Lyra, who were chatting on the couch outside the door, were startled to see the appalling expression on Micah's face as he came out.

Katelyn was the first to ask, "Mr. Micah... what's wrong?"

Micah ignored her and looked directly at Lyra, "You knew it well that she's faking it."

Was he ... really angry?

It was the first time Lyra had ever seen Micah scowl on her.

She blinked her eyes sheepishly, "I ..."

Micah didn't want to give her a chance to explain, and just went downstairs in stride.

Lyra was just about to go after him when she was pulled by Katelyn to see how Abigail was doing in the room.

Abigail's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and she was not in a good mood.

Katelyn rushed to her and was heartbroken, "My dear daughter, I have advised you. Micah is so cold. He will not like you, but you insist on trying!"

Abigail bit the corner of her lip and didn't say anything.

Katelyn knew she was always stubborn and could not be dissuaded to do what she had decided, so she turned to Lyra and begged her.

"Lyra, for the sake of our friendship, can you help Abigail? You can make Mr. Micah be here in Frayton, so you must have a way to make him stay in Frayton!"

Lyra shook her head with a serious expression, "It's useless. He is a very principled man. Persuasion is not useful."

Maybe her words were too merciless for Abigail, but Lyra had no other choice but to say it straight.

Long pain was better than short one. Abigail can only rely on herself to think clearly early.

Katelyn sighed in disappointment.

Lyra saw this sad scene. She really can not help much, turned her head and intended to leave.

"Lyra!"

Abigail called out to her, asking uncertainly, "Would you be my enemy?"

Katelyn shuddered in fear. Charlotte's downfall was still fresh in her mind, so she didn't dare to move ...

Lyra stood silently for a few seconds.

Without explanation or turning around, she left the Matthews family.

Coming out of the Matthews House, Keith's car was parked on the curb waiting for her.

She walked straight over and opened the door to sit in the back.

Keith looked at her with a stony face and rubbed her head gently.

"What's going on here? Who has offended my little princess?"

Lyra was unhappy, "I offended Micah."

Keith laughed out loud, "Rara, you did the right thing. Micah is dedicated to his medical research, with no single woman around. Dad has scolded him for many times. It seems he still listen to you the most."

"But he's angry ..."

Keith shook his head, "You do not know him. He looks cold, but in fact is shy. Anyway, you don't need to care about this. If he and Abigail really have the destiny that ties them together, they can always be together."

Lyra was finally relieved.

Keith, however, seemed to remember something and his expression gradually became serious.

"Rara, there's something that I have thought for a very long time. And I think I should tell you about ..."

Lyra looked at him with a serious face and couldn't help but look straight.

"It's about ... your ex-husband."

Melvin?

Hadn't this guy disappeared? She sent Darkbell to investigate with all its might, but could not find out where he was. She only knew that he suddenly disappeared the day before Charlotte's press conference.

Lyra wondered, "You have found him?"

Keith nodded his head.

"Collin found out that he is in the mountains between Frayton and the neighbor city."

Well, Collin had informants both in legal and illegal circles so the network was indeed more wide than Darkbell. It was not strange that he can find out.

But ...

"What's he doing there?"

Keith didn't say anything, as if there was something hard to say.

Lyra connected all the dots and major events from that time.

After thinking it over carefully, she shook her head in amusement.

"He didn't think I am dead and went there to get my corpse, did he? Even if I'm dead, he doesn't even want to let go of my body?"

Keith choked, had to change the topic and said, "He is just late in coming back this time because he's stuck in the mountains. But I guess it won't be long after that. A week at most, he'll be back in Frayton."

Lyra's expression froze slightly.

A week was a bit tight. If Ashley didn't take action fast enough and Melvin can get back in time to preside over the company, her plan to put the Freeman Group out of business will be difficult.

Keith could see her anxiety.

"So what's your next step?"

Lyra looked up to see him and smiled slightly, "Well, I will give him a big 'surprise' on the day he returns!"

Keith looked at her with a burning gaze and lowered his head a little.

In fact, there were two other things that he hid from Rara ...

The men who trapped Melvin was sent by Collin because Collin hated him. Therefore, Collin took this opportunity to quietly teach him a lesson.

And Melvin went to her, not with bad intentions, but to save her.

If Rara could check carefully, she would find out that Fred's hijacking of the plane had nothing to do with Melvin.

She just didn't want to go deeper, preferring to believe that Melvin was trying to harm her.

Keith opened his mouth to speak.

In the end, he didn't say anything.

Even if Melvin was right this time, one size didn't fit all. Rara had suffered for him for the past three years.

It was time for him to pay back what he owed her!

...

Knowing the approximate date of Melvin's return, Lyra was highly motivated and arranged for Jackie to disguise herself as the majority shareholder of Atimber Property the next day.

The suburban land in the west of the city had been purchased, and the subsequent construction work will be discussed with Oceania Construction.

"Bring that mole from the Freeman with you to tonight's party with Oceania Construction. Remember to leave him an opportunity to get the program in private."

Jackie, who was on the other end of the phone, was surprised, "Boss, if he goes back and tells Ashley that the program's leaked, it will definitely block our partnership with Oceania Construction."

Lyra pursed her lips and smiled, "That depends on whether they have the ability to do so."

"Huh?"

Jackie couldn't know what she was trying to do and had to do as she was told.

Later that night.

Ashley came to the Freeman Manor in high spirits and asked Fiona for credit.

"Fiona, the program between Atimber Property and Oceania Construction is obtained by me."

Fiona was surprised, "Really?"

She took the program from Ashley and read it over, "Great! With this program, things will be much easier."

Ashley put forward an idea, "Now that we know the offer that Atimber Property gives the Oceania Construction, we just need to give Oceania more times that price to stop this partnership. "

"Atimber Property is a small company with insufficient capital. When they make the advance payment, the cooperation will be cut off by us. They have no money and can't negotiate with better building material companies, so they can only wait for death and obediently hand over the suburban land."

Fiona listened to her and smiled, "Very good, then this matter will all be left to you to arrange. No matter how much money to spend, the Freeman Group can afford to pay!"

Ashley nodded her head.

Fiona patted her shoulder and looked at her solemnly, "Ashley, you are my most trusted person. Don't let me down!"
