Ronan immediately panicked. "Darling, you've got it all wrong. That day I drank too much, I didn't know anything, it was Octavia Everly who came to the villa by herself...""Enough!"Lyra's lips trembled, her fists clenched tightly, and she yelled at Ronan with force, "Ronan, I never want to see you again!"She turned her head. "Torin, let's go!"Torin looked coldly at the disheveled Ronan, sneered disdainfully, and pulled Lyra away."Stop!" Ronan became anxious and rushed up, delivering a punch to Torin's face regardless of everything.Torin spat out some blood but retaliated without hesitation.The reporters' camera flashes didn't stop.The two of them, disregarding the presence of the reporters and their own identities, exchanged blows, one after another, like ancient gladiators, settling their grievances in the most primitive manner.Lyra's anger boiled within her, her chest felt tight, and a dull pain radiated from her lower abdomen. "Stop fighting, please..."Suddenly, everythin
It was the first time in Ronan's life that he didn't contradict his grandfather.Soren Vale widened his mouth, thinking he was hallucinating."Grandpa, actually I..." Lyra was about to speak up about the divorce, but Ronan suddenly embraced her, whispering, "Grandpa has a heart condition. He's happy now. If you bring bad news, he might get a heart attack."Lyra looked at Ronan skeptically; the old man didn't seem sick at all.However, seeing Ronan's serious expression, she didn't want to take the risk.Soren Vale, observing the couple whispering, assumed their relationship was excellent, feeling ecstatic.He kept telling Lyra, "Lyra, you're the most important in the entire Mo family. If anyone dares to bully you, let me know. Grandpa will support you!"After saying that, he warned Ronan with his eyes.Lyra had to comply, saying, "I understand, Grandpa."Ronan bluntly ushered, "Lyra needs rest, you should leave!""You little brat, you infuriate me!" The old man was furious, puffing his
Would she and he meet again in the future?Perhaps they would!Many years later, they might pass each other on the street.But for now, she was tired, and in excruciating pain.Leaving without saying goodbye was the best choice."Madam, you're back?" The driver politely inquired. He had just opened the car door when he turned and saw Lyra collapse on the ground."Madam!" The driver was frightened and immediately helped her into the car, planning to take her to the hospital first.Hospital? Which hospital?Suddenly realizing, the driver smacked his forehead. Mayo Medical Center!The young master often went to Mayo Medical Center, right?He decided to take Madam there since the young master and the doctors there were familiar.Ronan happened to be at the Mayo Medical Center at this moment. He received a call in the morning informing him of Cordelia Locke's critical condition and rushed to see her.Unexpectedly, before he reached the inpatient department, he received a call from the driv
In the afternoon, Ronan didn't come to accompany Lyra, and she didn't ask him where he was going.Just about to rest well, Dr. Kael knocked on the door."Lyra, are you available now?" Dr. Kael's attitude was warm."Yes, what's the matter?" Lyra asked in confusion."Well, I want to talk to you about your medical examination." Dr. Kael smiled."I received the examination report."Lyra took out the examination report, glanced at the various data on it, and asked, "Is there a problem?""It's like this." Dr. Kael pushed his glasses and looked at the gentlewoman in front of him. "You not only have anemia but also some malnutrition. You must take good care of yourself, especially now that you're pregnant. You can be discharged now."Lyra nodded. "I understand."She thought to herself that she had to pull herself together, especially for the sake of her baby, and take good care of herself.After Dr. Kael finished speaking, there was a hesitant expression on his face, as if there was something
He's the high and mighty CEO of ZenithVentures!How could he stand here for hours waiting for her to come back, acting like a fool, and trying to catch her in the act?Ronan's refined features contorted in anger, his cold laughter: "You're not coming out, huh? Good!"With that, he went mad, raising his fist and fiercely smashing it against the car window.A loud "bang" reverberated, the car window shook, and cracks quickly appeared.Seeing Ronan's injured fist, Lyra was startled. She immediately opened the car door.Ronan instantly yanked the door open and dragged Lyra out."You still dare to come out?" Ronan gritted his teeth.Her hand was gripped tightly, causing Lyra some pain. She couldn't help but take a step back: "Ronan, let go, you're hurting me."Ronan was furious. Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip even more, almost dragging her towards the Emperor's Palace.Torin, inside the car, couldn't stay put. A hint of severity tainted his gentle face."Ronan, let her go!"
Liora Archer has won awards at the international design competition, and her father is a councilman in the city of T.She believes she's extraordinary and always carries an air of arrogance in the company.With Liora Archer's harsh tone, the secretary didn't know what to say.After a long pause, the secretary whispered, "I'll take care of it before quitting time."Lyra looked coldly at Liora Archer, her intuition sensing Liora Archer's hostility.She was the wife, the CEO's lady; Liora Archer couldn't outright insult her.So, she redirected her anger towards the secretary, indirectly scolding her for not finishing her tasks due to accompanying her.Liora Archer narrowed her eyes, lined with exquisite eyeliner."Fine, I want to see how you'll manage it. Bring me the minutes of the design department's meeting right now!"The secretary was about to stand up but was elegantly blocked by Lyra's outstretched hand.Lyra languidly said, "Aren't you here to get the meeting minutes yourself? I
If it weren't for the child, she wouldn't have stayed. Lyra lowered her gaze, a hint of faint melancholy passing through her eyes. She said softly, "If there's nothing, I'll leave first." Ronan still stared at the documents without a word as Lyra turned and left. As soon as the office door closed, Ronan fiercely threw the documents aside. He hadn't read a single word on the file; his mind was filled with Lyra's indifferent words. He was very angry and very confused. As Lyra left ZenithVentures, the driver politely asked, "Madam, are we going back to the Imperial Palace now?" Lyra shook her head, "I want to buy some baby supplies. Can you take me to the mall?" While she was shopping in the mall, she asked the driver to wait for her in the underground parking lot. After finishing her shopping, as she was about to head to the parking lot, suddenly, someone rushed out from the side. A man held a bottle of an unknown liquid and suddenly splashed it onto Lyra! This startled Lyra
Seeing his daughter's guarded expression, Orion Everly sighed and said, "Lyra, you know, don't you? Octavia has always liked Ronan."Octavia Everly hung her head in distress, her voice choked, "Sister, I know I shouldn't have secretly fallen for Ronan."Orion Everly patted Octavia Everly's hand to console her and continued speaking:"At first, I was a little resentful of Octavia, after all, you and Ronan are married, and Octavia shouldn't have tried to ruin her older sister's marriage."Orion Everly glanced at Lyra's face, seeing her calm demeanor, and continued:"I regret letting you marry him without considering Octavia's feelings.""But now that Octavia's innocence has been taken by Ronan, even if Dad asks you, can you forgive Octavia?"Lyra mocked, remembering the explicit photos Octavia showed her on her phone.Octavia Everly's eyes harbored resentment, but she pretended to be very aggrieved, her eyes red."Sister, I'm sorry..."Lyra secretly clenched her fingers, her expression
