The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 513 Meeting an acquaintance at the party; Ethel returns?

He stopped in his tracks and did not go forward again. He was standing still and quietly looking at the

side of Lyra's stunningly beautiful face.

And he was also waiting for her answer.

Lyra smiled brightly, "I have already married. And we have two kids. My husband is the president of

White Corp. I believe that soon when he and you meet, you can also become friends. Tonight, I think

our chatting is very congenial. I am very happy."

She responded with generosity and appropriateness.

Malcolm's face gradually warmed up and he graciously walked over and wrapped his arms around

Lyra's slender waist.

Lyra turned her head and saw Malcolm's handsome face. She couldn't help but smile. That was a

heartfelt smile.

"Here you are. Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Grey, the founder and president of Duowiehl Group,

and the first heir to the royal household of Atria."

Lyra introduced him with a smile and looked to Nil, "Mr. Grey, this is my husband, President of White

Corp and the patriarch of the White family."

The two men looked at each other and did handshake in a familiar and friendly way.

Nil was surprised, "I didn't expect Ms. Lloyd's husband to be you. What a coincidence."

Lyra froze slightly and looked to Malcolm, "So you guys knew each other before?"

Malcolm explained, "Yes, I've worked in Atria on a cross-country arresting case before. I've worked with

Mr. Grey twice, so I'm his acquaintance." Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Nil could sense the warmth of the two as they conversed, and tut-tutted enviously, "Mr. Malcolm and

Ms. Lloyd are both business geniuses, but also a loving and harmonious couple. Truly a match made in

heaven, as the old Foplon saying goes."

All three of them laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing that the time was right, Lyra took the opportunity to mention the cooperation.

But Nil was a man who liked to go by the process when it came to work and didn't explicitly say yes.

"Ms. Lloyd, although I also want to cooperate with you the Lloyd's Corp, my rule is that I must follow the

process. I will hold a partner bidding session. When the time comes, you can let your employees to

make a business case. As long as it is not bad, I believe the cooperation between Duowiehl Group and

the Lloyd's Corp will be a sure thing."

Since he had said so, attending the bidding session and going through the process was the only way.

Lyra agreed graciously, "Mr. Grey, don't worry. I will personally make the project with Duowiehl Group,

so that you can see my determination for this cooperation."

Nil looked at her rather admiringly and gave her a few heartfelt compliments.

Because the cooperation wasn't taken after all, Lyra was a little upset. For his compliments, she did not

listen to a word.

She had a decent smile on her face, but her mind was distracted.

Because Malcolm was chatting with Nil, he didn't notice her subtle differences of mood.

A lady in a white dress brushed past Lyra.

Lyra glanced at her and abruptly frowned.

When she raised her eyes, the white-skirted lady was already walking away, but her back was familiar.

Like a person she knew!

Lyra's smile faded and her face turned grim.

Was it really her? How could she possibly appear in such an occasion?

While Malcolm and Nil were still talking, Lyra had followed the woman.

It was really similar.

The more she looked at it, the more the woman looked like Ethel!

Wearing such a high-fashion gown, she could only be the female companion of some president. Which

rich man did she get close to after escaping from the countryside?

Lyra's inner suspicions swarmed, and a sense of unease wrapped around her as she chased after her

faster.

The ballroom was crowded, and the lady in the white dress, who was not far ahead, disappeared in the

block of a tall man.

Lyra paused in her steps and searched the surroundings for a while, not seeing the white dress figure

that was so familiar just now.

The organizer, Andrei, who was being entertained, quickly noticed the unusual anxiety on Lyra's face

and immediately apologized to the person who was negotiating with him and came over to ask Lyra.

"Ms. Lloyd, what's wrong? What's the problem?"

Lyra eyebrows knitted, still recalling the familiar figure she just saw, "I think I saw an acquaintance. A

lady in a white dress, slim and delicate, walking with grace. Do you know her?"

Andrei was confused by the question, "Ms. Lloyd, you are making it difficult for me. People who come

to the party tonight, basically brought their female companions. There are many ladies in white

dresses. They are all slender and beautiful. How can I recognize who your acquaintance is?"

"But tonight more than half of the participant are international bigwigs. Their female companions are

also foreigners with high status. Ms. Lloyd, if you want to find her, it's easy. I can ask waiters to help

you look out for the names of all the white dress ladies. After the party, I'll give you a list."

Lyra listened and was satisfied with his thoughtful arrangement, "Thank you, Mr. Andrei."

"No problem."

Because of this incident, Lyra was distracted and disinterested in continuing to attend the party.

Malcolm saw that she had something on her mind, and didn't say anything in front of Nil, but just

clasped her hand in an unspoken way to give her a sense of security.

The grand business party finally came to an end at 11:00 pm.

Lyra got the list of women in white dresses from Andrei as she wished.

Back in the car to Lyre Spiti, Lyra focused on the list and gave Eleven a call.

"Later I will give you a list when I arrive home. Follow the identities and names on this list. Whether it is

Dark Net search, or use the information network. In short, you must find the photo of each person."

"Okay, don't worry."

Receiving Eleven's affirmative answer, Lyra hung up, still focusing on the list.

Malcolm watched her for several moments. He was driving with one hand while the other went for her

palm.

"Is something wrong?"

Lyra mused, "It's true that a bad thing never dies. Honey, I suspect Ethel is really not dead. I just saw a

woman resembling her at the party."

Malcolm became serious as well and helped her analyze.

"Honey, could it be that you are mistaken? There are too many people with similar backs in this world.

You can't easily make a conclusion without seeing her face."

"And this party, people who can be present are influential. When Ethel escaped from the countryside,

you announced her death. Even if she's still alive, she dare not appear with this identity."

"The people who had been silently helping her behind her were your father and your bro ..."

His face paled slightly and he quickly changed his tone, "And Collin. Now your father had passed away

and Collin has stepped down from much of his power in Crana and no longer has the influence he had

at the beginning. Whom else can she get help from to bring her to such a momentous occasion when

she has lost two greatest supporters?"

Lyra was silent.

She didn't know.

Ethel's previous interpersonal circles were more clear.

Because she had won major film awards at a very young age and was known for being aloof in the

circle, she almost had no friends who were close to her in the entertainment industry.

She was completely pushed forward by Reginald and Collin before.

Now that she was not the daughter of the Lloyd family, who else could she be with?
