The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 244

Those who came were all the invitees on the list.

Kellie cleared her throat with a sharp eye and shouted, "Welcome Mr. Nelson from Hyatti Group, Miss McCarty from Ingenuo Entertainment, Miss Barry from Solsora, Mr. Everett from Heoufung Media ... to the Angle Group!"

Businessmen valued interests most. Those who had various excuses not to come, although no one knew who asked them to do so, were scrambling to the scene at the fastest speed.

The invitees all arrived in the last ten minutes, and Kathleen rushed to help Lyra.

Claudia's face was livid with anger. Because too many people arrived, the door was surrounded by them with no open space.

She sat in a chair, was drowned in the crowd and was squeezed into a corner.

If it wasn't for the bodyguard holding her up, she would have almost fallen.

Everyone was so busy being attentive to Lyra that no one cared about her.

Kathleen gave her a cold look, "There are too many guests. I'm afraid Lyra and I can't take care of you. It feels bad to be proven wrong, right? If you can't hold your expression any longer, then hurry up and get lost."

"You!"

She was insulted too bluntly. Claudia's face was distorted in anger.

Unwilling to leave, she continued to be sarcastic: "Lyra, so what if you have Malcolm to protect you. I heard he's very brutal to women. He has strange personality. He's ugly. You go to the White Manor to take care of him during this time. I am afraid it is not feeling good, right?"

Lyra froze and just snorted, not bothering to explain.

It was more important to take care of the guests than to have a conversation with Claudia.

Not so with Kathleen, who looked blandly at Claudia and spoke sarcastically with a gentle expression.

"You're wrong. I'm afraid that Malcolm will let you down. He is not only handsome, rich and responsible, but also considerate to her. Are you angry?"

Claudia froze.

How was this the opposite of the rumored Malcolm?

For a moment, she didn't know if Kathleen was telling the truth, so she had to be sarcastic in a different way, deliberately amplifying her voice: "Maybe so, but he deliberately missed the party last time and this ribbon-cutting ceremony. I think he simply does not care about her. I'm afraid this is the old Mr. White's intention of the investment , right?"

Many people on the scene heard her words and whispered.

Malcolm's intention, and the old Mr. White's intention, were two concepts.

Although the old Mr. White had been in business for a long time, was considered the leader of the last generation, and everyone respected him, but that was the past after all.

Because now the old Mr. White had retired and was no longer in charge, Malcolm was in charge of the family.

If he did not look forward to the marriage with Lyra, the investment to Angle Group was likely to be just a talk. It can not be guaranteed.

Lyra didn't say anything.

Because she really didn't want this investment, and she didn't intend to use White Corp to build momentum.

But with the ribbon-cutting ceremony just around the corner, she planned to talk to Malcolm alone about the investment afterwards.

She didn't refute it, and someone on the spot already believed Claudia's words and began to waver.

Mr. Everett of Heoufung Media took the lead to apologize to Lyra, "Sorry Ms. Lloyd, I still has some business over my company. Wish you a smooth ribbon cutting in advance. I will leave first."

Someone took the lead, and soon others scrambled to follow.

"I'm really sorry Ms. Lloyd. I'm a little busy too ..."

" But don't get mad. I do have company stuff too ..."

Lyra had little expression and nodded her head one by one in agreement.

Claudia had her arms crossed and was smug.

However, just as the sixth company was about to come forward and apologize to Lyra, the characteristic roar of a car from a Shelby Supercar rang out from the side of the fountain.

All the eyes of the crowd instantly focused on this Crana's only one black Shelby Supercar. It was said that it costed 80 million. Even if someone had enough money to buy it, it could not buy if without power and influence.

Just as everyone gasped at the appearance of this car, the door slowly opened.

A man's long legs slowly stepped out of the car. His demeanor was dignified and reserved. His aura was awe-inspiring, and the silver-gray ghost face on his face added a bit of mystery to him.

"Mr. Malcolm?!"

"It's really Mr. Malcolm! He can come to such a small occasion in person. He really favors Ms. Lloyd as his fiancee!"

"Oh my God, I'm so jealous!"

There were many female companions brought by the presidents of different companies, and since Malcolm got out of the car, their eyes were on his body. They were jealous as hell.

A few of the people who said they were leaving but had not yet left the building were extremely regretful when they saw Malcolm.

They looked at Claudia with indignation.

And Claudia was in such a state of shock that she couldn't say a word.

Amid many cheers, Malcolm walked towards Lyra without looking away.

Lyra stared blankly at the man walking toward her. In addition to surprise, she was a little angry .

She clearly instructed him not to come and to recuperate at the villa.

This man didn't listen to her at all!

Malcolm walked up to Lyra, and the cacophony of chatter stopped on its own.

It wad quiet.

He picked up Lyra's left hand very gentlemanly, kissed the back of her hand, and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Sorry, I'm late."

Lyra pouted and raised an eyebrow at him, "Yeah, so when we get back, I'll have to punish you!"

Malcolm's dark eyes smiled, "Want two days and two nights? You can do whatever you want."

A crowd of female celebrities screamed on the scene.

Everyone was forced to see they showed their love.

And did the two mean what they thought?

Was this intimate content they can listen to?

Lyra also did not expect him to be so bold, daring to speak openly to molest her in front of so many people.

She kept a smile on her face and looked at him, but in reality, she was already grinding her teeth.

Malcolm came at the right time, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony started just as he arrived.

Because of his presence, the ceremony consisted of him and Lyra holding the red ribbon together and cutting.

The atmosphere was also high.

Claudia was proved to be wrong twice a day, especially the second time when she said it out loud on purpose, and now she wanted to run away.

She left in a huff while not much attention was paid to her.

After the ribbon cutting ceremony, all the guests were visited to Angle Group Tower together.

Lyra was tired of socializing, and since Malcolm volunteered to come and invest in the Angle Group, she simply left the burden of socializing to him, and ran away with Kathleen to sit in a quiet corner and hide.

Kathleen looked at Malcolm in the crowd, who was helplessly entertaining, "He's still your investor. How can you leave this to him?"

Lyra's eyes were also on Malcolm, "A man who doesn't behave well should be made to work a little longer."

"Not well behaved?" Kathleen covered her mouth and laughed, "I think he's well behaved."

"He faked it."

Lyra didn't say much, poured herself a glass of champagne and took a sip.

Not only did he love to pretend and act, he also lied!

However, it was not good to tell Kathleen about the details.

Kathleen was not shy, "Then you're talking with the right person. If your man does not listen to you, you have to teach him! I have a bit of experience in this area."
