After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 569 A united front; someone is about to do somethingShe stopped thinking and remembered that Anne had lobbied Collin to hollow out her power at the Lloyd's Corp so she decided to do something about it.
By the time Rudolph returned from taking the medication, Lyra was just about to leave the White Mansion.
"Where are you going? It's getting late tonight. Why don't you stay here?" Charles also advised, "Yeah, it's raining outside. Why don't you stay here tonight and spend more time with Rudolph and the babies?" Lyra couldn't tell him outright about the possibility of the manic episode at night, so she had to cope with it.
"There is something at my family to deal with. As the head of the family, | have to go back. Rudolph, rest early at night. Spencer and Momo have Sophia accompany them. Please don't stay up late.” Since this was bout her family's business, Rudolph had no reason to keep her staying here, instructed a few words to pay attention to safety and let Lyra leave.
It was raining lightly in Suham.
At night, the road was slippery and Rudolph asked Charles to walk Lyra out of the White Mansion. Each with an umbrella, they walked one after the other in the winding alleys of the White Mansion.
Charles said, "Rudolph is in much better spirits since he has little Miss and little Mr. with him." Lyra nodded her head with relief.
Thinking about Rudolph who got his medicine before she left, she asked, "What's wrong with grandpa lately?" Charles sighed, "When he is young, he's in the army. He's healthy and nothing serious. When people are older, there are always high blood pressure, high blood sugar or something. It's inevitable, so recently he needs to take the medicine to control the blood pressure blood sugar." This Lyra understood.
As the two walked forward, the atmosphere gradually became quiet, until a tall but thin figure of a man passed through the alley not far from the front.
Lyra saw that it was Travis.
She wondered, "Why is Travis back? | remember he, along with Mr. Ryan, were transferred by Malcolm to a small branch in a county. They could not be transferred back to the head office in five years except for holidays and Christmas." Charles explained with a smile, "Rudolph is old. He would like his children and grandchildren can always be around, so some time ago, he help transfer Mr. Travis back to the Suham branch. Mr. Malcolm is aware of it." Since it was something that Malcolm agreed to, Lyra had nothing to say.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe understood the intention of Rudolph. They were all his grandchildren. It was impossible to see one living a good life and the other living in extreme misery. Rudolph helped Travis and it was reasonable.
As long as Travis stayed calm and didn't get into trouble, it was not a big deal to keep him at the White Mansion.
As she was thinking about it, Charles had already walked her to the garage.
Lyra told Charles to go back to the villa, chose a luxury car at random in the garage, and soon left the White Mansion in the drizzling night.
But she didn't go back to the Lloyd Manor, only to go to the lab and return to the treatment room Malcolm had arranged for her to rest in before he left.
The Lloyd Manor at Anning Hill.
Light raining fell incessantly. The cold air poured up in bursts, and the temperature plummeted.
Collin had fallen victim to rheumatism because of his previous self-abusive behavior.
With this rain, his knees were completely overwhelmed with force.
Waves of pain swept through the nerves. Collin curled up and fell to the ground. With the inflammation of the limbs and the horrible pain, he could not focus on holding the pen, let alone neatly copied the scriptures.
Kathleen was aware of this, and with an umbrella in hand, she made a mad dash to the hall of the villa.
Collin was already in pain until he was covered in cold sweat which went down into the painful wound on his back where the skin was broken and oozing blood.
The whole person was in misery and tormented.
"Collin!" Kathleen was close to tears of distress and asked the bodyguard in to carry Collin back. And she called a family doctor.
The doctor was very skilled in dealing with Collin's knees and back injuries.
After the injuries were treated, the doctor gave him an injection which was anti-inflammatory and nutritional.
Collin, who was sick, was no longer high-spirited and vigorous. He was lying weakly in bed. It was still raining outside. The change of weather caused the knee pain, which was stabbing.
The doctor administered painkillers. Collin's consciousness was foggy and his voice was so hoarse he couldn't say a word.
Kathleen just sat on the edge of the bed sniffling and feeling distraught.
Anne, who had already fallen asleep, seemed to have been woken up by the commotion. Seeing that the door to the master bedroom was left open, she casually knocked twice on the door and came in.
Kathleen turned around, saw it was her, and helped her get a chair and put it in the spot at the head of the bed, "Miss Windsor, sit down." Anne did not treat herself as an outsider in the least, and went straight over and sat down, checking Collin's condition as well.
"Madam, Ms. Lloyd's punishment is too heavy for Mr. Collin. Is he physically overwhelmed?" Kathleen nodded as she took a tissue to wipe her eyes, "Who knew it was going to rain today? His legs are acting up. He is tortured almost to death.” Anne's good-looking eyes could not hide her heartache.
She decided to take this opportunity to continue to lobby, "Madam, don't hesitate. If this continues, Mr. Collin may really be tortured to death. He used to be one of the most popular figures in Crana. He was the first captain and the director of Bureau of National Affairs. Now he is idle at home, and still bullied by Ms. Lloyd. You can really bear this?" Kathleen sighed, "Yes, that's what | think. | told Collin and he said no, so what could | do?" For this matter, Kathleen was confused. Collin attitude was very firm. He just didn't agree to help Anne harm Lyra. Even if she conveyed Lyra's intention, Collin would not relent.
If he was angry with Lyra, he would not settle down and receive his punishment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe seemed to be reluctant to get involved in this matter, so he pretended not to know anything.
However, Kathleen knew very well that if Anne was really the illegitimate daughter, Ethel, Collin would be caught between her sister and the illegitimate sister he had helped, and it was impossible to keep him out of it.
The more she mulled it over, the more heartfelt Kathleen's sigh became.
Anne continued to lobby, "Or, Madam, you won't have to ask Mr. Collin's permission. This matter is up to you. We'll help Mr.
Collin pave the way. When it's done, Mr. Collin will have no choice but to be on a united front with us." Kathleen pretended to be torn and thought seriously for a while before agreeing, "Okay, I'll trust you on this one. Do whatever you want. | just want Lyra to pay for torturing Collin, pay the price!" Anne smiled warmly, "Of course." After visiting Collin in the master bedroom for a while, Anne went back to her room.
She sent a text message to Paul.
In fact, Paul had stayed at Suham's hotel two days earlier because cross-country and long-distance relationship was not easy and Paul missed her so much that he went over there.
Anne told him about her desire to take down the Lloyd's Corp.
Once Lyra's real power in the Lloyd's Corp was vacated and taken by Collin, it will be possible to sign an alliance contract with AN Group.
Paul was a businessman through and through and had no reason to refuse.
As a precaution, Anne asked Paul to help investigate the White family's situation.
After hearing that Malcolm was away from Suham on a business trip, Anne almost laughed out loud straight away.
God was helping her. It was the best opportunity for revenge!
