The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 137 He can only take the blame for this matter

Chad?

The name sounded quite familiar.

"What's his relationship with Fred?"

Melvin didn't intend to hide it from her, "It's all my men."

Lyra propped her hand on her chin, pinned her elbow on her knee, and cocked her head to observe

him.

She was extraordinarily delicate with this look, and her graceful features were displayed up close in

front of Melvin.

Melvin's heart missed a beat.

This woman ... she did not know that her expression was very charming?

Just as he was thinking, Lyra spoke up, "I can't believe you still have men willing to follow you. I'm

afraid you still have private property, right?"

Private property didn't matter. He actually had a lot of secrets, but can not tell her now.

Melvin was a bit pleased, "Is this your way of trying to control my personal property? I don't really care

about money. I can turn it all in if you want."

Lyra gave him a blank look.

"I'm not interested in your money. I'm just curious. You can obviously use the money to redeem the

manor and at least make life easier for your mother and your sister."

He lowered his head, "My mother is mean and my sister is spoiled. They both bully you, so this is my

punishment for them."

Lyra was a little surprised, "I'm just your ex-wife. They're all your family. You can be so hard on them?"

Melvin had always been very principled.

"Wrong is wrong. I will not be biased. I can take this opportunity just to sharpen their natures."

Although there was nothing wrong with this statement, Lyra always felt something strange.

"Forget about Sheila. Fiona is your mother. Aren't you afraid that she will scold you for being

ungrateful?"

Melvin's head lowered so that Lyra could not see his expression.

He was silent for a moment before saying, "She can take it, and if it's something she can't take, I'll take

it for her."

In this regard, Lyra was a bit appreciative of his style of handling.

"I'm going back to Angle Group. You keep busy."

"Okay."

Lyra got up and headed for the door, but found him still crouching from the corner of her eye, "I'm

leaving and you're still not up?"

Melvin's face went pale, "My legs ... are numb."

Lyra chuckled, left him alone, and opened the door to go out.

Before she left, she told Jackie about his request to have an assistant.

Jackie was very quick to do her job. And in that afternoon, Chad came to Melvin's office.

"Boss, it's fabulous. You won't have to sneak around to meet me in the future. You haven't aroused

Miss Carroll's suspicion, awesome!"

Melvin was busy with working, suddenly attracted by his words and looked over suspiciously.

"What do you mean by sneaking around to meet you? What I do is all proper business!"

He viciously picked up a ballpoint pen on the table and smashed it over.

Chad did not dodge. His head was hit squarely, mournfully rubbing his head.

"Boss you are so cruel. I have a concussion, you have to pay for my work injury."

"Still playful?" Melvin's eyes were cold and he picked up another pen.

Chad wimped out, "I was wrong wrong wrong! I won't dare next time!"

The drama was over, and the business was still to be discussed.

Chad first checked the entire office to make sure there weren't any listening devices before handing

him the information he pried out from Fred.

Melvin read through Fred's confession and the timeline of events which were well organized.

"Boss, with this evidence from Fred, you will be able to prove Miss Carroll your innocence."

Melvin did not say anything.

He thought about it, and finally, in front of Chad, tore that evidence from the middle until it was

completely shredded.

Chad was stunned.

"Boss! What are you doing? This is the proof that you didn't harm Miss Carroll!"

Melvin had little expression, "If I show this evidence to her, the trust I've managed to build with her now

will be completely gone."

Chad didn't understand and looked at the pile of shredded paper with distress.

This was what he had been working in and out to get all this time.

Melvin didn't even look at the paper, "Just when you gave me this evidence, I realized that with the

strength of Lyra and her brothers, how could they not check it out? It's that she didn't check it out at all.

She has already decided in her mind that I did it."

He sighed. It seemed that Lyra really did not trust him at all.

It was really not an easy task to try to bring back her trust little by little.

"I have been quietly checking the evidence behind her back all this time, and going to see Fred. If this

evidence is handed to her by me and she knows all about it, she will only guard me more in the future."

Chad understood and felt a bit sorry for him, "Then, boss, you'll have to take the blame yourself. Fred,

this son of bitch. It seems a hundred times' whippings are not enough! He should have been given

another two hundred!"

...

Half a month later.

During this time, the Freeman group went through a period of downturn and the projects were gradually

improved.

When Jackie handed the data to Lyra, Lyra was satisfied, "With the current situation, the Freeman

group's business has basically stabilized. We'll demand payment of the debt from Harrington Group

soon."

Jackie nodded, "Boss, what are you going to do about it?"

Lyra smiled.

"From now on, as long as what Harrington Group wants, and that is within the Freeman group's reach,

it will be interrupted!"

Just as she finished, the assistant at the door knocked in and said, "Ms. Carroll, Mr. Frazier is here."

"Got it."

Jackie had the good sense to leave the office and meet up with Garrett who happened to come in.

When Jackie left, Garrett went to sit in the chair across from Lyra.

Lyra didn't even raise her eyes, "What are you doing here today?"

Garrett had a smile on his face and his ears were a little red, "Lyra, have you forgotten that it's my From NôvelDrama.Org.

birthday after three days."

Lyra really didn't remember at all.

"You want me to wish you a happy birthday in advance? I remember your parents used to throw parties

for your birthday. When are you planning to return to Suham?"

Garrett blushed a little, "That's all from when I was a kid. And my parents said that unless I bring my

girlfriend back, I don't have to go home."

Lyra instantly understood the intention he had when he came over today.

"You are the sweetheart of your family. How could your parents not let you go back? Don't lie to me

with these tricks."

Garrett was not discouraged when he was exposed, "I know you won't go back to Suham for a while,

but it should be okay to come out for dinner with me alone after three days. As a birthday present from

you, OK?"

As a friend, this was not too much of a reason for him, and Lyra had no reason to refuse, so she

agreed.

Meanwhile, on the 23rd floor of the Freeman group building.

Chad quietly entered Melvin's office.

"Boss, I heard that Mr. Frazier is here and is talking to Miss Carroll alone on the top floor."

"Alone?"

Melvin wrinkled his brow and grimaced.

Whenever Garrett came over, it was a bad thing!

He stood up, pushed open the office door and took the elevator to the top floor.

Garrett had just come out of Lyra's office and was waiting for the elevator to downstairs.

Once the elevator arrived, the door opened and the two came face to face.

Garrett smiled and took the lead, "Mr. Freeman, what a coincidence."

Melvin's face was cold and his tone was indifferent, "Not coincidentally, I'm here to see you."
