Under the moonlight, the man's handsome face was incomparably gloomy, and a terrible chill came over her.
"Shane ..." She calmed herself down and clutched the eyebrow trimmer in her hand, being ready to attack at any time.
Shane grimaced and asked again, "What are you doing on the top floor at night? Why don't you sleep? Did I tell you last time to behave well?" "I...I couldn't sleep. | just heard a noise on the top floor, so | came up to take a look. | was about to go back but you came here." She swallowed and changed the subject, "Why are you here?It's so late. You're still in the uniform ..." Shane kept his countenance, "I has a task at the bureau. Just finished. Tomorrow is your return party. It will be held here, so | went back tonight to rest.” "Oh, good. You've had a long day, Shane.” She bowed her head in a submissive manner.
Shane had little expression and his tone sounded cold, "Go to your room and rest." REST Melissa nodded. Remembering the sound of chains just now, she was not resigned, "Shane, does mom really live on the top floor? | just heard a chain dragging across the floor. Was it mom?" "Mom has gone to sleep. You heard it wrong." There was no emotion on his cold face.
"But ..." Melissa insisted, "I heard clearly. There was really the sound of chains just now. If it is true that only mom lives on the top floor, could it be that you have locked her up? " Shane's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at her with coldness, not saying anything.
"Shane, I'm part of the family in the future. | want us to be honest with each other. About the Callahan family's secrets, | have a right to know." "You're overthinking it. Our family doesn't have any untold secrets. I'll say it again. Go back to sleep." Melissa didn't move, "I'm not sleepy right now. Can you open the lock? | want to go in and see mom." Shane didn't even consider it, "No, mom is already asleep. You will disturb her." It was totally impossible to persuade him.
Melissa was speechless.
"Good girl, tomorrow is your return party. You will have a lot to do. Hurry up and go to bed." He softened his tone and coaxed, taking the eyebrow trimmer out of her hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Okay." Shane was here, and she wanted to check the top floor quietly, which was impossible. She could only check it later.
She walked around Shane and prepared to go downstairs.
There was a muffled thud and Shane slashed to the back of her head with his hand.
The pain came and her consciousness instantly drifted into a trance, plunging her entire body into darkness.
The long and deep corridor on the top floor was filled with a gloomy breeze.
Shane held the fainting her up. He was in an upright military uniform, but his face looked evil.
"You're so curious about the penthouse. How can I not fulfill your wish?" The day of return party.
Before dinner, Chad and Keira were once again called to Lyre Spiti to help Sophia with the babies since Lyra and Malcolm were to be present at the same time.
Before leaving for Callahan Residence, Lyra and Malcolm went to see Keith and left together.
On the road, Keith, who was sitting in the stretch limousine, was a bit fidgety.
Lyra sensed his nervousness, "Keith, just relax and take it easy. It's a good day for Melissa. And you'll be able to be together properly from now on." REST He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. From now on, no one would dare to say that he and Melissa were not a good match.
They would get married and have children with everyone's blessing and be happy for the rest of their lives.
The more he thought about it, the more Keith felt happy.
They arrived at the Callahan Residence.
The evening was beautiful with sunset glow in the sky, and not many guests were here.
Lyra and the others arrived here early.
Rebecca was helping to greet the guests and when she saw Lyra, she familiarly went up to her and clutched her hand.
"I didn't go to the christening for the babies last time. What a pity! Luckily, you're here today. | haven't seen you for many days.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDo you miss me?" Lyra laughed, "How old are you? Why are you still so naughty? In another year or two, Shane will let you be engaged with someone, right?" Rebecca disdained the mention of the engagement, "How nice to be single! | don't want to be in a relationship, but | do have a few people coveting me. All of whom | have Shane send to that cheap sister to meet." As she said these, she covered her mouth and laughed, which was indulgent and smug.
Noticing her choice of words, Lyra's face went cold, "You actually call her cheap sister? It seems you don't like her." Rebecca did not hide, "Yes, indeed. | don't like her. She'd been lost for so many years. Suddenly Shane found her. | was originally the only daughter in the family. All brothers spoiled me. Now we have her. | have to give away the half of the affection.” Lyra withdrew the hand she was holding so close, "Where's Shane? Take me to meet him." "Okay." Shane was in the lobby, checking the day's flow. Rebecca led them all the way to the villa door.
Lyra left Malcolm in the garden and went in with Keith to find Shane.
Shane saw them both and smiled politely, "Mr. Keith and Lyra, you are early. Come to the garden for some dessert?" Lyra sat down on a couch, "We'll eat later. Mr. Shane, | brought Keith specifically to come see you." Keith had a rare smile and sat down on the couch as well.
"Oh?" Shane raised the end of his eyebrow lightly, "What is it?" Lyra laughed, "What else can there be? Naturally for Keith and Melissa's wedding. Tonight is the return party. I think it is better to set the engagement today. Later you will announce them together on the party. Two happy events come one after the other." Shane didn't answer right away, concentrating on the tea he was pouring.
The atmosphere was silent for a while before he said, "I wonder if Mr. Keith is ready for the engagement?" Keith smiled and replied sincerely, "I am going to transfer both Ecstatic Entertainment and Vapor Film Company to Melissa's name, and transfer the shares under the two companies to her. Detach her contract from Angle, so that she'll become a solo artist. I'll create a special team for her, and the studio will serve her alone.” The two companies were not small. Their shares had a market value of 200 million dollars, not to mention the creation of a top team specifically for her.
For an engagement, this gift was sincere.
But Shane changed his face slightly, "Keith, you're still very considerate to Melissa. But as for courtesy, as the unmarried daughter of the Callahan family, the gift should be given to the Callahan family, not to her alone." With what he said, Lyra's eyebrows tightened, but she did not say anything.
Keith was also slightly stunned.
He was engaged with Melissa. Naturally, Melissa's interests were paramount. The Callahan family had never raised her for a day in all these years, and when the engagement came, he used her to profiteer? Keith was secretly upset and asked patiently, "So what's it like? You can tell us." Shane lifted the cup of tea in his hand and toasted across the table toward Lyra and Keith.
"It's just a gift. Just take out 15% of the Lloyd Group's shares and give it to the Callahan family." Lyra and Keith looked at each other and turned pale at the same time.
