The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 564 Defending the outsider; she is not the Lloyd family's illegitimate daughter

But Lyra didn't go inside, she just listened quietly outside and watched every move in it.

Inside the hall, Collin lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. With the dim candles at the hall, she

can not see his face's complex expression.

He put down the pen, rubbed his slightly sore wrist, and asked in a deep voice without raising his head,

"Hate her? Why?"

Anne: "You are her brother and have protected her for so long. No matter what you did wrong, she

should not be angry with you. Although she is now the head of Lloyd family, you didn't think of

resistance? Take back the power that originally belongs to you?"

Although she was of Owhil nationality, her four years of experience studying in Crana had made her

speak the language of Crana exceptionally well.

Her stone was soft and pleasant

Collin frowned and craned his head to look at her.

Looking at each other, Anne smiled warmly and lovingly, as if she was really making a kind suggestion.

Lyra, who was in the doorway, could see clearly but still did not move.

In the hall, they were looking at each other just for a minute and Collin stared at her extremely beautiful

and enchanting face with complex feelings in his heart.

"Miss Windsor, these are the private affairs of the Lloyd family. Since you are a guest invited by Rara,

you should abide by the rules of guest etiquette. Know you place and pay attention to your current

status."

Anne was slightly stunned and seemed to take a while to realize the meaning of his words. However,

she still continued to persuade relentlessly, "I know I am an outsider and these things should not and

cannot be controlled by me, but I don't want to see her abuse you."

"Mr. Collin, my boyfriend is an Owhil noble, Paul Hoare. AN Group is one of the world's largest

corporations. We can help you."

Collin's anger surged up and he scolded in a muffled voice, "Anne Windsor, this is hall of the Lloyd

family. Please get out and don't ever come back in again."

Seeing that he didn't listen to her at all, Anne was a bit dissatisfied, and came close to him and

whispered in his ear, so that they could only hear the sound.

Hearing what she was saying, Collin's jaw tightened and his fists abruptly tightened.

Anne admired his reaction and her voice still gentle, "Mr. Collin, I'll wait for you to regret it."

She got up, straightened her long skirt, looked at him condescendingly for a few moments, turned

around gracefully, and prepared to leave the hall.

The door of the hall opened with a bang and Lyra's teasing voice came in,"Miss Windsor, you're here.

Why don't you stay for a while? Let me hear what you are talking about. Why rush to leave, as if you

have a guilty conscience?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Lyra fiddled her phone and walked in step by step.

Anne wasn't panic and had an elegant and polite smile, "Ms. Lloyd, good afternoon. I heard Mr. Collin

is punished to read the scriptures in the hall for several days, so I came to see."

Lyra smiled calmly, "So what do you have to say now that you've seen him?"

"Are you a little too harsh on Mr. Collin? I wonder how unforgivable a mistake could be to make you so

hard on your brother?"

Anne explained frankly, "I just couldn't watch anymore, so I just made some suggestions to Mr. Collin. If

he can't stand the oppression, he can ask me for help. Paul and I will both help him."

Lyra sneered, "What position are you in to help him? A transient? I am the head of the Lloyd family. I'm

the one who arranged for you to stay here and the one you should be thanking."

She stepped forward and pressed on, continuing to ask, "You guys are friends? But it should be your

first time to meet him. Where does the friendship come from? You are willing to help him

unconditionally like this. Perhaps you're relatives? From the perspective of a younger sister, it makes

sense to feel sorry for your brother."

Anne met her sharp eyes, smiled and lowered her eyes, calmly explaining, "If I can really be Mr. Collin

and Ms. Lloyd's relatives, it's really my blessing. The first time I met Mr. Collin and Ms. Lloyd, I felt you

guys very kind, like my brother and sister. "

Collin, who was kneeling in front of the small coffee table copying scriptures, sighed deeply and slowly

closed his eyes, not participating in the conversation between them.

Anne was still saying, "Unfortunately, I am not so blessed. I am the only child. My parents died when I

was in college. I only have myself and can only live a bloody life by myself."

Lyra didn't like this girl the first time she saw her.

For each of Anne's words, when Lyra heard it, it seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"Miss Windsor, don't walk around. Anning Hill is too big. Recently it's hot. Although there are servants

in the forest regularly spraying insecticide, snakes, insects and rodents are always inevitable. In case

you might get bites, I don't know how to explain to Earl Hoare."

Lyra stopped saying and patted her slim shoulders thoughtfully, as if she was really a caring sister.

"Don't go around if you have nothing to do these days. If you really have to go out, tell me in advance. I

will send two bodyguards to protect you."

This was disguised captivity, keeping her within Anning Hill.

Anne knew it but smiled innocently and adorably, "Great, you're so good to me. I'll be careful. I didn't

take a nap this afternoon, so if there's nothing else, I'll go back to rest."

"Okay, get more sleep."

The two young girls exchanged a few words of courtesy, and Anne left the hall.

Lyra watched her elegant and leisurely back until she was completely out of sight, then she locked the

door of the hall and even closed the window tightly.

After all this, she walked coldly to Collin's small coffee table and looked at him.

Collin didn't look up and didn't stop the progress of transcribing, "Rara, what do you want to ask?"

Lyra was slightly offended and corrected his choice of words, "Mr. Collin has a bad memory. You told

me back then when I was pregnant that you would never call me Rara again."

Collin swallowed lightly, hiding the bitter emotions.

"You're right. I deserve it, so what do you want to ask me alone?"

Lyra ignored his husky voice and asked seriously, "Ethel has been missing for eight or nine months

now since she disappeared from the countryside. Where do you think she is?"

Collin's hand, which was copying, shook abruptly, and the words were written crookedly, ruining a

whole sheet of paper.

He just finished copying a small piece. He can't even use it so he had to rewrite it.

Without any reluctance, he tore off the entire sheet, kneaded it into a scrap ball, turned the pages of the

scripture, and started copying the previous content again.

"I don't know. Maybe she's dead. Even if she's lucky enough to be alive, she shouldn't be stupid

enough to come back."

"Is that so?"

Lyra snorted disdainfully and was clearly disbelieving.

She slowly bent down and forcefully pinched Collin's chin, forcing him to look up at her.

In the past, when she met Collin, she was like a docile house cat.

She respected and feared Collin, but since their falling out after Ethel's incident, Lyra looked at him

without fear but disappointment.

Brother, love and spoiling were all false. Collin and Ethel were really defending for each other. The

favor of saving the life was more important than his sister's life.

She was a piece of shit to Collin.

The more she thought about it, the more she became angry. Lyra felt dejected and said directly, "I

doubt Anne is Ethel. What do you think?"

Collin thought for a moment, "She's not."

"You're just so sure?"

"She's just a young girl who doesn't know what she's doing. Probably she's abetted by the AN Group,

trying to destroy the harmony within the Lloyd family. After all, it's Owhil earl's girlfriend. Let her stay at

the Anning Hill for a few days, then let her leave Crana."

Lyra pursed her red lips and pinched his chin gradually harder, "You really think of her, Collin. You think

I really don't know you? You'd never defend an outsider like that."

Collin did not explain.

Lyra was distracted by his calm look.

She believed in her intuition and should probably impose more punishments.

"You claimed to redeem yourself, wanted to be punished together with Ethel, and insisted on receiving

twice as many lashes to show the brother and sister love. Then continue, twenty lashes every

afternoon, and then read and copy books afterwards."

Collin's face was slightly pale and he hid the sorrowful and self-recriminating feelings in his eyes.

"Yes, all at your disposal."

Lyra hated the way he pretended to be submissive, and gradually loosened her hand.

Her stunningly beautiful but cold face leaned down and she questioned him, "Mr. Collin, just now Anne

whispered something to you. What did she say?"
