After the glances, she quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the scenery along the road.
Lyra explained to her while driving, "The name of this place is Anning Hill. My mother took the name. This whole hill was bought by my family. The Lloyds live in each villa." Anne felt it amazing, "Your family deserves to be the richest in Crana. You actually bought a whole hill. This place was built with style, a paradise in the world. It must be very happy to live here, right?" Lyra did not answer but continued to chat with her, "In addition to the Lloyd Manor, the White family's mansion also has unique style. It is like buying a piece of the plain, they made it into a castle. When walking around the White Mansion, it is like visiting the ancient palace.” "That sounds really interesting. | hope to see it sometime." Anne smiled with brows arched, which was simple and lovely.
But Lyra could sense that she was not as curious about the White family as she talked about the Lloyd family.
The limousine drove all the way to the top of the hill, but instead of going to Reginald's old villa, they went to Collin's home.
Before coming, Lyra had made a phone call to Kathleen, and the couple were both home today.
Because Lyra had asked about it in advance, Kathleen learned that she was coming and went shopping for seafood early in the morning and planning to make her a seafood dinner in the evening so that she could have a chat with Collin.
Collin learned that Lyra had volunteered to come over and stood at the entrance to the villa with Kathleen waiting for her.
But two people were stepping through the outside gate into the garden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe figure next to Lyra was not Malcolm, but a person he had never seen before.
Kathleen and Collin looked at each other, not understanding what Lyra meant.
Lyra and Anne walked side by side to the front of the villa's door.
Seeing Collin and Kathleen standing in front of them, Lyra introduced them to Anne, "This is Collin of the Lloyd family, and the one next to him is his wife, Kathleen." After finishing the introduction briefly, Lyra introduced Anne to Kathleen again, "She is the business director of AN Group. She came to Crana and | asked her to stay for a few more days and | show her around." After listening to her introduction with extreme neglect, Collin's face was slightly pale, which looked bitter and melancholy.
Kathleen quietly glanced at his expression, nodding repeatedly and smiling in response to Lyra, "Since it is a friend of your, it is also a friend of our couple. Please ome in and sit down." "Great" Lyra followed Kathleen in first, leaving Collin and Anne behind.
Collin was previously punished for kneeling in the hall and hurt his leg, which left him with a small problem and a poor walking posture.
He said coldly, "Miss Windsor, please come in." Anne smiled warmly and politely, "After you." Seeing that she was polite, Collin said nothing more and turned around to walk towards the villa.
Anne followed behind, checking his walking posture.
"What's wrong with your leg?" Collin was brief and concise. He looked cold and his voice was hoarse, "Just an old trouble.” Anne cared about him politely, "Since it is an old trouble, you'd better pay more attention to the treatment. Don't drag on and on.
It finally will become serious. Mr. Collin, you are handsome and in your prime. Don't let the leg problem spoil your future." Collin didn't strike up a conversation.
For the future, power and position, he did not care about at all.
To be an idle person at home, to atone for his sins and repent day by day were what he wanted to do most at the moment, hoping that one day Rara will forgive him and stop hating him.
The conversation was ended, and neither of them spoke again. They walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
Kathleen herself went to make tea, leaving Lyra, Collin and Anne in the living room.
Anne's eyes were bright and she looked at Collin, and asked curiously, "I heard you were Crana's first captain and a super powerful person. | heard your voice on the airport promotional video, but it is not quite the same? " Collin lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.
Lyra naturally took over and helped him explain, "Because | am the head of Lloyd family. He made a mistake before. | punished him to kneel all night in the hall. And he was served with twenty times of whipping every day, and chanting the Buddhist Scriptures for a whole night." Collin slightly wrinkled his eyebrows and raised his eyes to watch the expression of Rara.
Although he didn't know why she was taking all the blames for punishments he had volunteered before, he knew Lyra and there must be a purpose for her to do so.
He kept silent, not trying to refute it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnne was dumbfounded.
She looked in shock at Collin, who had his head down and seemed to be acquiescing to the incident. And she looked incredibly again at Lyra who was cruel and cold.
"It sounds so scary. What kind of big mistake was made to deserve this kind of punishment? Isn't Mr. Collin your brother?Why would you punish him as heavily as an enemy?" Lyra gently pursed her red lips. When she was about to answer, Kathleen carried the brewed tea, put it on the table, and poured a cup of tea for each other.
Seeing the tea , Lyra did not skip this topic but picked up the cup of tea to greet Anne warmly.
"Miss Windsor, you can try Kathleen's green tea. | think it goes best with you. You can have more" Anne took the cup of tea on the table, blew shallowly on the tea froth and took a small sip.
"Well, the tea smells so good. It's refreshing in the mouth and not at all greasy.” Lyra followed her and drank the entire cup of tea, "As long as you like it." There was a brief two-minute silence in the living room before Anne mentioned the topic related to Collin again.
"So when | just came in and saw you with bad legs, it turns out it was caused by kneeling? Your voice is horse. It was caused by reading the scriptures?" Collin glanced at Lyra secretly and did not understand why she would tell an outsider about the family matters, but replied, "Right." Anne thought it horrified.
"Although | know this is your family business, | am still curious. Is the Lloyd family's instruction very strict?" Lyra picked up a second cup of tea, elegantly blew it and replied with flat voice, "The Lloyd family is very easy-going. The so- called harsh instruction is only for Collin." Collin and Kathleen were both dumbfounded and looked at Lyra in silence.
Anne was also looking at Lyra and cocked her head in disbelief, "Why? Mr. Collin is so good. why are you targeting him?" "The specific reason is private to the Lloyd family. It is not convenient to tell you." "Well, | overstepped." Anne stopped asking questions and looked down and contemplated something.
Lyra observed her expression with a sideways glance, smiled warmly and continued, "Which hotel are you staying in these days in Crana? How are you getting used to it? If you like the Lloyd family in the Anning Hill, you stay can stay here. | can help you arrange."
