Chapter 580 Follow the family head's directions
Malcolm dwelt on this question for a while.
He first called the police department to inquire about the exact reason for Lyra's capture.
He learned that Lyra was detained in the questioning room and never got out because her cell phone
and bag were not with her but at the old White's villa.
He went with Chad to the his grandpa's villa.
Because of Micah and the medical team , Rudolph was on IV fluids and it was just a matter of time
before he woke up so the condition was not that bad.
Malcolm left Chad behind to look after his grandpa and went to the police station with Lyra's cell phone
and bag and picked Lyra up himself.
Lyra was bored, depressed, and sincerely felt that the staff of police station should be replaced
completely.
She knew that because of Paul Hoare's Owhil nobility status, the police station would have to go
through the motions and show international diplomatic goodwill no matter what happened.
But the two police officers who went to the White Mansion to help her get her cell phone and bag never
came back, and it was outrageous and even deliberate.
Or perhaps the two police officers who just questioned and did record did not arrange for anyone to go
to the White Mansion at all, just to trap her here.
While waiting, she didn't stop thinking and recalled many things.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized that since she tied Anne back to the basement,
there were flaws everywhere.
It seemed that not only was she setting a trap for Anne, but Anne was also setting a trap for her.
Her mind was muddled with thoughts when the door to the questioning room was suddenly opened.
Lyra ignored it and felt annoyed.
Until a man walked up to her, crouched reverently and softly said, "Rara, I'm back."
This low but familiar voice ...
Lyra abruptly lowered her head and saw that it was Malcolm, whose skin was slightly tanner.
He was her husband whom she kept thinking about.
After not seeing him for several days, Lyra was surprised to see him, as if it were a lifetime ago.
"Honey, are the UV rays strong in the border? Why have you tanned so much?"
She stroked his face compassionately, bent down and kissed his thin, somewhat dry lips.
Malcolm's eyes looked gentle, "UV rays are quite strong. But I'm afraid of tanning too much, you will
not like me. I take away your sunscreen cream before leaving, so I'm okay. I'm not as tan as Chad is."
Lyra lovingly rubbed and pinched the soft flesh of his cheeks, "Quite clever."
After the catching up, Malcolm got up and held Lyra directly and strongly in his arms, "Honey, I'm taking
you out of here."
Lyra hugged his neck. Her eyes were cunning and she asked deliberately, "No need to make a
statement?"
"No?"
"No need to show evidence that I am not illegally imprisoning anymore?"
"No, through and through. I've got it all taken care of."
The two looked intimate as if no one was watching, and left the police station when a crowd of police
officers were staring at them.
When they came out, Lyra got her phone. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She checked the call logs and found that Kathleen and Abigail made multiple calls and Malcolm made
three calls to her.
There was even an unsaved and unknown number that made two or three missed calls in a row.
It wasn't noted, but she knew that it was Collin's number.
It was deleted by her earlier.
There were also a lot of unread messages on What's App.
Kathleen: [Lyra, the police came to take Anne Windsor with a permit. I can't stop them. Why don't you
answer the phone? See the message and come back as soon as possible, okay?
Abigail: [Lyra, something's wrong. Where are you?]
She sat in Malcolm's car as they prepared to return to the White Mansion. With a serious and grave
expression, she said to Malcolm, "Honey, you go back to the White Mansion first. I have to go to
Anning Hill."
Malcolm made a U-turn decisively, "Then I'll go with you."
Lyra refused, "I believe you have already known Anne Windsor is Ethel. I can deal with this on my own.
Grandpa is in coma because he is taking medication, but ate the food that is incompatible with. Micah
and the medical team are still investigating the specific reason, but I think it is artificial. It's the best that
you solve this."
Since Malcolm came back, the White family's mishaps can only be left to him to solve.
If they got the result of the investigation and caught the trouble-maker of the family, Malcolm will
definitely not forgive this person.
He was the patriarch of White family and any disposition was rightful. Although Lyra was his wife, she
can't take the responsibility for any decisions of the White family and it was not convenient for her to be
involved in this.
By the same token, Malcolm was not involved in the Lloyd family's stuff.
Lyra felt that it would be best for each of them to split up and solve a few tricky things this time.
Although she did not explicitly explain the reason, Malcolm understood her.
"Okay, then I'll drop you off at Anning Hill and then go back to the White Mansion."
Lyra nodded her head.
Because both White family and the Lloyd family had thorny things to handle, the two were in deep
thought about the matter and no one said anything in the car.
The atmosphere was unexpectedly quiet, yet harmonious.
Twenty minutes or so later, the limousine drove into Anning Hill and Lyra chose to get off in front of the
Collin's villa.
Kathleen and Abigail were sitting in the living room discussing.
Lyra knocked on the door and entered, asking bluntly, "Where's Collin?"
Kathleen: "He learned that you were taken away to the police station for questioning and never came
out. He's on the phone upstairs, trying to use his previous connection to bail you out. Thank God you
got out safely, Lyra."
Lyra smiled and gestured for Kathleen to relax, "Anne Windsor was taken away. Do you know where
she was taken?"
Kathleen: "Collin just asked the same thing. A police took Anne Windsor away. She looked frightened
and just handed over to Paul Hoare."
Lyra checked the time and it was already evening.
She checked again for the last flight from Suham Airport to the capital of Owhil.
That was 11:00 p.m. today.
Anne wanted to leave Crana as soon as possible, knowing that she can't hide her identity.
Paul was, by now, probably at the airport with Anne waiting for the flight.
Once they returned to Owhil, Anne was beyond Lyra's grasp. And Lyra would be in Paul's territory
where he could be rampant, so she was afraid it would be even difficult to get Anne back after they left
the country.
Lyra mused and thought clearly, "Which room is Collin in? I'll go up and talk to him."
Kathleen: "Just the master bedroom."
Lyra turned around and went upstairs. The door to the master bedroom was closed. She knocked twice
and then opened the door straight away.
Collin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed talking on the phone, looked her up and down, and after
confirming that she was safe and unharmed, he was visibly relieved and said to the one on the phone,
"No, she's out."
After that, he hung up the phone and eyed Lyra as she walked towards him, "What's wrong?"
Lyra: "Check the passenger list for the last flight tonight. If Paul Hoare and Anne Windsor are on this
flight, use your airline contacts to detain them both."
Collin didn't say anything.
Lyra opened her bag straight away and threw the affinity test written by Micah himself at him.
Collin opened it suspiciously, and when he saw the right bottom: half sib kinship, his pupils were dilated
slightly. And his dark eyes couldn't let Lyra see through what he was thinking.
However, it didn't matter what he thought.
Lyra pronounced the result word for word: "Anne Windsor is Ethel Lloyd. I don't care if you know her
identity or not. This is your last chance. If you help her not me, your own sister ..."
She did not finish her words, but her ironic smile was very obvious and the meaning was self-evident.
Collin clutched the paper and looked at her without hesitation. And he said with hoarse voice, "No need
to consider. I only listen to the family head."
