Chapter 90
Kawa, who hadn't seen Lyra in years and was happy, was instantly angered by Sheila's remarks.
"Insulting my master, and insulting me. You are impatient to live?!"
When people who practiced martial arts were angry, one can feel her powerful oppressive force even in the screen.
Sheila instantly wimped out.
Kawa continued, "How dare you call her a parentless orphan?! Do you know that she ..."
"Kawa!"
Lyra interrupted and gave her a frowning stare.
Kawa froze and was a little puzzled, but in the end did not continue to say anything.
Lyra turned her attention back to Ashley.
Ashley was still in shock, stunned speechless.
Originally she thought that she can teach Lyra this little bitch a lesson through the opening ceremony, but no one expected that she not only really beat Master Dacey, but also made a big splash!
Who was the disciple?! Who was the thief?!
She was Kawa's master! Who would have thought that?
Anger overpowered Ashley .
At this moment so many pairs of eyes stared at her and she felt too ashamed to show her face.
However, she was still too naive.
Lyra had always been a vengeful person, so how could she let her go so easily?
"Miss Harrington, so are you wrong? Or I am?"
Ashley gritted her teeth in anger because Kawa's video call was still on, Keith was also nearby, and Lyra was supported by all the important figures.
She didn't dare to say anything too aggressive, so she forced a smile and said, "I was reckless this time. I offended you."
"That's it?"
Lyra shook her head and laughed lightly, "Your apology was too perfunctory and I wasn't too happy with it, so ..."
She spoke with a slight pause and glanced at Keith.
Keith understood and Jalen left the venue directly. A minute later, he brought two strong bodyguards in black suits and walked aggressively towards Ashley.
Ashley was frightened by the bodyguard's momentum. Her little face turned pale and she stepped backwards, "What do you want?!"
The bodyguard didn't give her a chance to explain, and went straight to her hands, confining her wrists from behind.
Katelyn was afraid that Lyra will ruin the Matthews family's opening party if someone got killed.
Abigail shook her head at her and whispered, "She should know how to deal with it."
Katelyn had to call it quits.
The entire atmosphere of the venue suddenly became serious. Due to Keith's identity, no one dared to go up to stop.
Not to mention Ashley did almost wrong Lyra, if not for the video with Kawa, Lyra’s crime for stealing may have be confirmed.
There seemed nothing wrong with Lyra who wanted to take revenge. It can only say that Ashley asked for it.
Ashley looked at Lyra who walked towards her slowly step by step, as if Lyra would eat her, which scared her and made her shiver
She tried to brace herself and said with shivering lips, "I am the future heiress of the Harrington family! If you touch me, the Harrington family will not spare you!"
Lyra smiled gently.
"Okay, I'll wait."
The next second, her expression became ruthless. She raised her hand and slapped her in the face twice.
The crisp slap echoed throughout the venue.
Some people was scared by her behavior.
What a cruel woman!
Ashley was beaten with tears in both eyes and froze in pain, unable to say a word.
Her originally fair cheeks were stamped with red thumbprints, and there was blood drowning out of the corners of her mouth. She looked so poor and wretched.
She no longer looked like the Harrington family's heiress.
She bit her lip and sobbed in grievance, but Lyra clamped her chin and forced her to head up.
Lyra admired her masterpiece and sneered, "It's true that you don't know the pain until you are slapped in the face. You framed me several times. Did you ever think that you would also suffer it today?"
Ashley was so ashamed that she wanted to die, but her face was swollen, and the pain prevented her from saying anything.
Finally it was Fiona and Sheila who rushed on stage regardless and rescued the woeful Ashley from the hands of the bouncers.
Feeling ashamed to continue to stay at the venue, the two men carried the dazed Ashley and left in a huff.
Before leaving, they did not dare to say harsh words, only stared at Lyra, hoping to poke a thousand holes in Lyra’s body with her eyes.
Lyra was disdainful of the way they demonstrated with their eyes.
Only a weak person would expect to scare off the other side in this way.
With the departure of Sheila's trio, the atmosphere in the venue remained lifeless.
The guests were only shocked to learn that Lyra was Kawa's mentor, but now seeing her fix Ashley in public had turned into awe.
It was only after Kawa, who was on the other side of the video link, gave her warm wishes to the Matthews family for the opening ceremony that the atmosphere was gradually brought back.
The Matthews family's grand opening was a bit of a twist and turn, but it was a success to have Kawa's video blessing in the end.
Katelyn and Jamie were laughing their heads off, practically treating Lyra like a superwoman.
They greeted the guests warmly and the atmosphere was very harmonious throughout the second half of the ceremony.
Lyra was not too fond of constant socializing for such occasions and found an excuse to go to the quiet aisle.
After confirming that no one was around, she took out her cell phone and dialed a long-lost phone number.
The calm, old voice on the other end of the line seemed unusually excited.
"I lost track of you completely since you went back from Robreau, then the Lloyd family announced your death and I didn't sleep for several nights. Thankfully you are fine ..."
Lyra smiled, "They say a scourge lasts a thousand years. How can a scourge like me die easily?"
Kawa on the other end of the line was amused by her self-deprecation.
Lyra quickly changed into a serious expression, "Thanks for today."
"No problem. I consider you as my half master."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
As a young child, Lyra was sent to study martial arts with a reclusive master in Robreau, and Kawa was originally her senior sister apprentice.
Because Lyra's talent was very exceptional, she not only can learn quickly but also can improve the moves. Kawa once lost a competition with her, begged to learn from her improved version, and was joked with by Lyra to call her master.
This time Kawa guessed that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Lyra, and reacted very quickly to play along with the drama.
Stirring up memories, both of them sighed inwardly.
Lyra hesitated to ask the other sisters and brothers if they were doing well, when she suddenly heard the sound of a roller coming from far away.
She hung the phone up just in time and turned around to look at Abigail, who was walking slowly in her wheelchair from the end of the hallway.
Abigail looked seriously at her stunningly beautiful face and said with a smile, "From the first moment I woke up and saw you, I thought you are extraordinary. Your composure and gracefulness are not like a poor child who grew up from an orphanage."
Lyra pursed her lips and locked eyes with her, not speaking.
Abigail continued, "These days, I get along with Micah. He is so cold. The only words he said to me were about you. I think you must have an extraordinary place in his heart."
Lyra frowned, "What do you want to ask?"
"The two young men of the Lloyd family in Suham are most willing to do anything for you ..."
Abigail paused, and her eyes suddenly flooded with suspicion, "Who, exactly, are you?"
