A Divorce Make Me Rich

Anthony gave that blue potion …

“Mel, what’s on your mind?”

Lyra looked sleepy. Her fingers hooked around the corner of his shirt and tugged gently, interrupting his thoughts.

He turned back to hold her hand, and his tone casual: “Nothing, thinking of a few good dishes to cook and treat your stomach.”

“Your cooking skills, which were well-tuned by me back in Frayton. I love whatever you make.”

She murmured and smiled, “Speaking of which, that employment agreement, it hasn’t expired yet.”

Malcolm’s face stiffened slightly.

That dark history of being forced to sign an employment agreement was brought up, and he lifted the covers and pressed against Lyra, “Are you still trying to enslave me for a few months?”

Lyra had a smile, “No, the name on the agreement is Melvin. It has nothing to do with you.”

Besides, she was now in a different state of mind than before, and she can’t afford to bully him so much.

She now just wanted to cure him completely sooner and live a happy and healthy life.

Malcolm kissed her forehead contentedly, “Sleep a little longer. I’ll call you when lunch is ready.” Then he got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Two days passed peacefully.

Until the third day.

At mid-afternoon, Lyra was busy in the office when she received another unfamiliar call on her cell phone, showing an international call.

She looked at the number, it was Anthony, and her good mood for days was ruined by this call.

Lyra picked up, and her tone was unpleasant, “What is it?”

Anthony on the other end of the phone laughed lightly, “Haven’t seen you in days. Do you miss me?”

Lyra was sick to it, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

“Don’t. I’m just asking. My last two conditions, have you figured it out?”

Lyra was silent for a moment, “Not yet, I’ll think about it.”

“More time to think about?” Anthony got a little upset, “Lyra, don’t try to monkey around with me. I’m not that easy to fool!”

Lyra’s tone was also cold, “You should know that once Malcolm and I back out of our engagement, it will set off a big storm. I always have to arrange the aftermath in advance to minimize the damage the Lloyd’s Corp will suffer at that time.”

“OK, you stall me or stall for time, I’m not afraid anyway. You’ll find me sooner or later!”

When he said the last sentence at the end, he deliberately lowered his voice, with the tone of obscurity.

Lyra was so upset. When she cured Malcolm, she would never let Anthony get away with it! She would make him suffer a thousand times more than Malcolm!C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly noticed that the phone interface was international calls.

“Anthony, you’re out of the country?”

“Yes, that sticky dog you have with you is always trying to catch me. Last time I was beaten so much that I only had one breath left. I had a hard time getting well, so I went out for a walk in order to be able to get married to you by then.”

He coughed twice, and his tone was careless.

Lyra gritted her teeth and was nonchalant, “If he’s a dog, aren’t you worse than a dog? Anthony, I didn’t expect you to stay in High-order Prison for six months and only have this quality left.”

“Okay, okay, it’s Mr. Malcolm. I was wrong. Lyra, don’t get mad.”

Lyra restrained her anger and continued tentatively, “Where did you go? European Swye?”

Anthony was delighted, “It’s so nice to hear you care about me twice, but it’s a secret. I’ll wait for you to give me an accurate answer!”

If he won’t talk about it, then there was nothing to talk about.

Lyra immediately cut off the phone and called Eleven in.

“Last time I asked to check on Anthony’s mother. Any news?”

Eleven shook his head, “Darkbell has not any news yet. After all, it is in a foreign country. It is not easy to explore. But I always feel that Anthony’s mother’s identity is estimated not simple. Otherwise it would not be hidden so tightly.”

Lyra was silent for a moment, “It looks like I’ll just have to find some time and ask the Callahan.”

Last time Jimmy said that the blue potion did not look like a drug from this country.

Maybe she can start with Anthony’s mother and try to find the antidote to the S404 biochemical virus herself!

Eleven doubted: “Will Shane say it? He can stand out from the Callahan several sons to grab the power, should … also not ordinary, right?”

Lyra was non-committal.

“It’s not like the Callahan family has no one else but Shane. Ask Rebecca and Sylvia for me, and tell them I’m inviting them to dinner tonight.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After Eleven went out, Lyra sent a message to Malcolm, telling him she won’t be back for dinner tonight.

After a few more hours of busy work, it was near the end of the day. Lyra packed her things and left.

Rebecca and the other usually had meals in five-star restaurants but Lyra this time took them both to a barbecue restaurant in the commercial street .

As soon as the two young girls entered the private room, they were chattering and the atmosphere was lively.

Rebecca laughed: “Lyra, I thought you are with Mr. Malcolm and forgot about us old friends. Why are you inviting us to dinner today?”

Lyra just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Sylvia agreed: “It seems Lyra and Malcolm are living a good life these days. You’re looking so well. Will I have a little nephew or niece in a while?”

“What are you talking about! You hurry up with the dishes! Food can’t even stop your mouth?”

Lyra blushed slightly and flicked Sylvia’s head.

Both hands subconsciously stroked the stomach. There was a time before she aspired to have a baby, but now, she did not hope. And the most important thing right now was Malcolm’s disease. Other was not important.

Thinking about this, she pretended to be casual and asked Rebecca, “Rebecca, how is your brother doing these days?”

Rebecca propped her chin with her hands, and instantly looked sad, “Don’t mention him. I never imagined that he would want to harm you. He is not still in High-order Prison service? Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?”

She can’t believe Rebecca didn’t know that Anthony had been released on bail?

Was it Shane who wouldn’t let the information about Anthony be sent back to the Callahan Mansion?

Lyra took a sip of tea before continuing, “Sometimes I think about the time when I visited to the Callahan Mansion. And now that things are different. I just feel a little sad.”

Rebecca followed with a sigh, “Yes, recently my brother let me into the company to study. I have less opportunities to meet my friends and brothers. Shane even doesn’t let me go to visit him. I don’t know when I see Anthony.”

It was really Shane.

Lyra continued without showing her real feeling, “Speaking of which, I’ve never heard of your brother’s mother.”

“I have not seen her. I heard my dad went to European Swye for business trip when he met Cayley. She was pregnant. They planned to return to the country with my dad and get married. I do not know what happened then.”

“Dad came back with just my brother, and all these years, there are no photos or news about Cayley in the family. Even my brother doesn’t often mention her. If you didn’t mention her, I almost forgot. My brother and I are half-brother and sister.”

Lyra thought, “Cayley is just a first name, right? Is she still alive?”

Rebecca shook her head, “I don’t know. I just overheard her name. These are the Callahan family’s secrets. Don’t talked to others.”

“Don’t worry.”

Sylvia nodded along.

Each table at the barbecue restaurant was equipped with a waiter to help customers grill meat. Rebecca and Sylvia were stunned when the handsome and elegant-looking man, who was carrying a box of lettuce walked into the room

Sylvia frowned even less happily, “How is it you?”
