A Divorce Make Me Rich

Eleven and Twelve cannot moved by the crowd and didn’t dare to push them for fear of accidentally hurting the crowd.

Besides, this group of people was not ordinary. They were the prestigious ladies and gentlemen in the upper class.

Ashley took the opportunity to wink at Charlotte.

Charlotte understood what she meant and quickly broke free of the bodyguards’ confinement and ran away from the crowd while the attention of several bodyguards was on the crowd.

Several bodyguards paled and were about to go after her when they were stopped dead by the crowd.

Seventeen was so angry, “Can’t you see? Even if you don’t agree with my lady taking her away, you shouldn’t condone letting Charlotte, the escaped prisoner, go!”

Ashley laughed, “No need for you to chase her. I’ve notified the police. I guess she won’t get far. The police will handle her. It won’t be up to Miss Carroll’s minions to do it.”

Minions?

Seventeen and others were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, but they didn’t say anything when their lady didn’t say anything as well.

Lyra pursed her lips tightly and was sullen.

Melvin saw the look on her face and called her, “Lyra.”

She raised her eyes in response and gave him a cold look.

“She is your person. This …”

Before she could finish, Melvin quickly interrupted, “She’s not my person!”

Lyra’s face didn’t change as she continued to finish, “Anyway, I’ll leave this matter to Mr. Freeman himself. When it’s done, you can go back to the villa.”

Melvin knew she was still angry and tried to reach for her wrist to beg for mercy, but was interrupted by Chad, who arrived in a hurry.

“Boss, sorry, I’m late!”

Melvin’s face quickly darkened.

Resisting the urge to turn around and beat up Chad, he commanded calmly, “Charlotte ran to the back of the remote path. She has injuries. She can’t run far. Go after her.”

“Yes.”

After Chad responded, he immediately ran wildly in the direction he said.

Melvin calmed himself down and was about to re-take Lyra’s wrist when Lyra twisted around to avoid it.

Lyra looked to Eleven, Twelve and other bodyguards who were surrounded, “Evacuate the crowd and let the party continue.”

The main character had run away, so there was nothing to see and the crowd quickly dispersed.

When the people were almost gone, Lyra approached Ashley.

Her beautiful eyes were cold, stern and reckless.

When she looked at Ashley, she smirked, “Miss Harrington, in view of our previous grudge, I was only going to let the Harrington family go broke. If you know you place, I can keep you alive. But if you collude with who wants to make trouble, and I find out, you may not be able to take the responsibility.”

Ashley was startled by the warning and was slightly stunned.

After a few seconds, Ashley reacted and smiled, “Miss Carroll, take it easy. It’s still not certain who will win and who will fix who!”

Lyra narrowed her eyes and smiled as well, “I’ll wait and see.”

After saying that, she left the charity party with Eleven, a few bodyguards and Cody, without looking back.

Melvin, who was left alone, tried to go after them but was stopped by Ashley.

“Melvin, the party isn’t over yet. Do you want to leave in such a hurry? Stay with me a little longer!”

Melvin glared angrily.

“Fuck off.”

After finishing his words coldly, he immediately ran out towards the gate of the hotel.

Lyra had just gotten in the car and was ready to close the door.

Melvin grabbed the car door quickly in time, “Lyra, no!”

“What for?”

Melvin looked into the car. Eleven was the driver. Twelve was in the passenger seat, and Fifteen and Seventeen were not there. It was estimated that they were going to send Cody back to the Carver family.

Lyra was sitting alone in the back row.

He grabbed the car door tightly. His tone was soft, being afraid that his voice will make her angry.

“Lyra, I want to go back to the villa too. Would you let me in?”

Because Lyra just got into the car, she sat in the right side and the left seat was vacant.

In the dim light of the roadside, Melvin’s dark eyes glowed with a shimmer, staring at her with caution and expectation.

Lyra gave him an aloof look and didn’t consider it, “No.”

“Whoever brought you here, let them drive you back. Or, go home by walk.”

Her tone was so cold that it had no temperature.

Lyra hasn’t given him a good look since he didn’t agree to sign the agreement. And tonight, she was exactly as strange as he was punished on his knees in that rainy night.

Melvin lowered his eyes, as if he was holding back some great grievance.

“Lyra, I came over with Ashley tonight for a reason. Will you listen to my explanation?”

Lyra didn’t look at him but said, “The villa left the door unlocked until 11 o’clock. If you don’t make it, you can sleep in the street. Let go.”

Melvin’s eyes were slightly red.

What a heartless woman!

Why was her heart as hard as a rock?

He was so depressed that his chest hurt and he could only reluctantly let go of the hand that was pulling the car door.

As he just let go, the car door “bang”closed heavily. Then the car sped up away, leaving Melvin with the exhaust gas.

He choked and coughed twice and stood alone, watching the car disappear into the night.

“Boss!”

Chad sought him out.

Melvin resumed his old cold face and asked with extreme irritation, “What is it?”

Chad lowered his head and his expression was hard to read, “I’m sorry boss. I didn’t catch up with Charlotte. By the time I got over there, she had completely disappeared, like she had been taken away by someone in advance.”

“Check the surveillance.”

Chad’s head lowered even more, “That section of the road is a monitoring dead end. The cameras that can photograph the entrances and exits were hacked in advance. Sorry …”

Melvin did not intend to be overly harsh on him, “This is not your fault. From Charlotte’s appearance, stabbing Lyra with a knife to the final escape, they were planned well in advance. I just don’t understand what is the purpose of doing this?”

Just as he spoke, the phone rang.

When he saw it was Ashley’s calling, he hesitated and finally answered.

“Melvin, you haven’t left yet, right? The party isn’t over yet. You can’t leave me alone as my companion, right?”

Melvin didn’t want to say a word to her.

Just as he was about to hang up, Ashley added, “Do you want to know where Charlotte is?”

He narrowed his cold eyes.

“You know?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Ashley smiled wickedly, “Not only do I know, but I can take you there, Melvin! I think you also have a lot of doubts about Charlotte. Why don’t you go and solve these mysteries yourself?”

Melvin pursed his thin lips, “What do you want?”

“I want you to accompany me through this party. It’s only the last five minutes. Melvin, you won’t even satisfy me with this small request, right?”

Ashley gave a low laugh and continued, “As soon as the party is over, I’ll take you to see Charlotte. What do you think?”

Melvin did not reply immediately.

He looked at his wristwatch. There was still more than half an hour before 11 o’clock …

“Okay, where are you?”
