Since Collin was willing to help her, Lyra softened her tone and reminded him cautiously, "I'm leaving this to you, and you've agreed. If Anne Windsor runs off with Paul Hoare, I'll believe you choose to stand by her and deliberately do nothing." Lyra was clear about Collin's strength. Even if he had been suspended for almost a year and had not worked, his connection was always solid. As long as he really wanted to get this done, it will not miss the mark.
Lyra did not accept any reason for the failure of taking Anne and Paul back, and she would blame Collin for that.
Collin understood what she meant and nodded, "Got it. I'll get on it right away." With the last two or three hours before the 11 p.m. international flight, Lyra just had to wait quietly for Collin to handle it.
She reached toward Collin and gestured for the test to be given to her.
Collin handed her the test result and picked up his phone to start working on Anne's flight out of the country.
Lyra gave him time to deal with it, left the master bedroom and went downstairs to exchange with Kathleen and Abigail about Anne tonight.
* After dropping off Lyra, Malcolm went back to the White Mansion.
It was already evening. Because Rudolph had not yet awakened and was still receiving infusion therapy, those Whites were in the living room and none of them dared to leave.
Malcolm steadily walked into the garden, but did not enter the living room, which was very brightly lit. Malcolm stood right in front of the window in the garden, looking at the expressions of everyone in the living room all over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharles and Chad were standing just behind him.
He asked, "The last person grandpa saw before he fell into a coma was Travis. | heard he even knelt down in front of Grandpa's bed and cried, so how come | don't see him here? Where did he go?" Charles was slightly confused, "Mr. Travis has been in the living room since he was driven downstairs by Mrs. White. I've sent two servants to keep an eye on him. Maybe ... he's gone to the bathroom. I'll find someone to ask about it." Malcolm nodded his head in acquiescence.
He was back, and Travis was most suspect one if he ran away at this juncture.
After all, he was Rudolph's grandson, and Malcolm hoped that Travis would not be out of his mind to such an extent.
Five minutes later, Charles returned.
"Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Travis is missing. | sent two servants to keep an eye on him before but | don't know when he got away." Since Travis couldn't be found, Malcolm knew what to do. He instructed Chad, "Obtain the garage surveillance. See if Travis drove out, and get him back as soon as possible." "Okay." Chad turned to run his errands. Malcolm returned with a uniform still on, and his aura was stern and serious. Then he walked into the living room.
In the living room, they were chatting and the moment when they saw him, they all stopped and got up to look at him.
"Mr. Malcolm." Malcolm nodded slightly.
Instead of going to the main sofa and sitting down, he walked to the open space opposite the coffee table and looked at the group the Whites.
"Mr. Micah and the medical team are upstairs. With them, grandpa will not have any problem. It's already late. There is no need for everyone to keep watching. You can leave now." He personally came to give the eviction order and the crowd had no reason to stay. What was more, most of them were just faking concerning about Rudolph and just felt embarrassed to leave.
With Malcolm's words, they quickly lined up and scrambled to leave the villa.
In a few minutes, the large villa resumed its usual quiet.
Malcolm indifferently watched the Whites leave, looking cold.
When the idle people were cleared up, he went upstairs and visited the old White.
An hour later, Chad called him.
Malcolm was sitting by the head of the bed, watching his grandpa who was sleeping. He looked down and glanced at the screen of the phone. Then he quietly left the room and walked to the end of the aisle before picking up the phone.
Chad, who was on the other end of the phone, said, "Bro, | caught Travis. He quietly drove away from the White Mansion. He went to a bar and hid, but | caught him quickly. He could not escape from me." Malcolm: "Well done. I'll wait in the hall. You take him here. | want to talk to him personally.” Anning Hill.
Lyra kept looking at the clock and was restless.
In fact, she didn't have to bother Collin about this. As the richest woman in Crana, she had made a lot of business friends since she became the CEO of the Lloyd's Corp.
But she wanted to take this opportunity to test Collin's loyalty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe couldn't see through him, let alone his attitude that he didn't want to get involved between her and Ethel.
It was funny that all that happened was because of Ethel's backers. Collin was one of them, so how could he get away with it? Lyra was worried while thinking. She still kept looking at the clock and counting the time. Now, it was the time before boarding.
She decided to go upstairs to Collin herself and ask him about the situation. She just got up from the couch and Collin, who was holding the railing and his knees, moved downstairs carefully step by step.
They just happened to look at each other distantly.
Kathleen saw this and immediately went up to help Collin.
Collin's gaze remained on Lyra, and he said in his hoarse voice, "I had someone check it. Anne Windsor and Paul Hoare are indeed on the last international flight to Owhil tonight. I've had someone find a way to withhold their passports. They won't be able to leave anytime soon." Lyra herself didn't even notice and sighed in relief after hearing his words, "Okay, | get it." Collin continued, "If you want to keep Anne Windsor, you have to do it before it's too late. After all, Paul Hoare's status as a noble count is known and it belongs to diplomatic case. It's impossible to strand him in Crana for too long. Otherwise it will be sensational internationally.” Lyra nodded calmly, "I know. It won't take long. Since Anne's identity has been confirmed, | should settle it as soon as possible.” She turned to leave and Collin took two steps forward to chase after her.
Because he said too many words, his throat became dry and painful. After a cough, he continued, "I found Paul Hoare's phone number from his flight information. You can try to contact him directly. Perhaps this is the fastest and most effective way." Lyra turned around in slight surprise.
On top of what she had instructed, Collin gathered a lot of information that could help her. He was choosing to be on her side this time? "Send Paul Hoare's number to my phone, thanks." After expressing her gratitude, Lyra left the villa.
Abigail followed her and left the Collin's villa together.
Abigail asked her with uneasy feeling, "Lyra, will Micah be back to Anning Hill tonight?" Lyra was still thinking about Collin's words and answered casually, "He's at the old Mr. White's villa. He's probably not coming back." Abigail lowered her head and asked nervously, "So do | have to rest alone at his villa tonight?" Lyra abruptly realized what she said. Abigail was a guest and her future sister-in-law, and it was her first day to be here in Anning Hill. So, it didn't sound good to let her be there alone.
With her manic problem, she can't let Abigail stay at Lyre Spiti overnight. Once she had the onset and the night fights had too much noise, Abigail will be alarmed.
After thinking about it, she replied firmly, "Don't worry. I'll call Micah immediately and tell him to come back tonight!"
