After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 588 On the small island, there's another secretSeeing that Lyra had headed to the island, Collin didn’t say anything more but hurriedly left Anning Hill with Kathleen, driving to the island.
They set off just in time to get to the coast just before Lyra was ready to go to the island.
"Lyra." Hearing Kathleen's voice, Lyra turned around. It was sure enough it was Kathleen and Collin.
"Kathleen, why are you here?" "Collin isn't at ease, so we follow you to check it out." Lyra looked at Collin.
Collin was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other for a moment before Lyra took the lead and withdrew her gaze.
"Since you are here, let's go to the island together.” Chad did not go there. He made a phone call to assemble the team of his men, as planned in advance to guard the coast. And they were ready to any unexpected situations.
The three boarded a dinghy together and went quickly to the island.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the small island, Paul and Anne sat and waited in front of the entrance of a small and luxury villa.
There were seven-ish bodyguards standing behind them, as if they travelled here for fun.
Seeing Kathleen and Collin, Anne smiled brightly, "Collin and sister-in-law are here too. You really love Lyra. She is coming to take me away, and you guys are actually afraid of something happening to her." Kathleen's expression was cold and serious, "Who is your sister-in-law? | only have one. That's Lyra." The moment she finished her words, Collin gently pinched her wrist, signaling her to speak less and not to provoke Anne.
The two sides were separated by three or five meters, looking at each other from a distance. Anne did gradually grimace at Kathleen's words.
She didn't understand, "Why are you all like this? Although | am an illegitimate child, | am at least half of the Lloyd. So why don't you all love me? I've always been on my own, but Lyra has the love and attention of everyone." Her good-looking eyes were flooded with tears. She was really sad, and her tone was very emotional, "Why? | just want the love and care of my loved ones. Why does everyone have to push me to death?" Paul's heart ached for her, and as soon as he wrapped his arms around her waist, he let her sit on his laps, "Anne, | really feel distressed. I'll always be with you." In front of Lyra, Kathleen and Collin, Anne wrapped her arms around Paul's neck in an intimate manner The girl, who was only 21 years old, was nestled in the arms of Paul, who was already in his 40s.
It caused Kathleen and Collin to frown almost simultaneously. And they were not too happy.
In the face of Anne's accusation, Lyra gently explained, "Wrong is wrong. You're scheming and trying to squeeze me out to replace my place in the family. You have done so many bad things. You should expect to have the day of being utterly isolated." "Although there are some things | don't remember at the beginning, if you approached me with good intentions at that time, | think the relationship between you and | would not have come to this point. | am open-minded. There is no grudge between legitimate and illegitimate daughters. If you didn't think of harming me all day long, | would have treated you as my own sister." "You brought this on yourself by coming to this point." Anne listened to her explanation and sneered as if she was laughing at herself.
"Lyra, if | say | want to make peace with you from now on, will you agree?" Lyra's expression did not change in the slightest, "No, you have harmed me no less than five times. As a broken lock cylinder, no matter how you repair it, it is impossible to make it back as before. How heartless you are, and how much you hate me. You know better than | do." Anne was pale and did not deny Lyra's words.
Her hatred for Lyra was etched into her bones.
She, however, had one last bargaining chip.
She got up from Paul's arms and gazed distantly at Lyra, "I know the real cause of your mother's death. Lyra, do you want to be surprised?" Lyra instantly wrinkled her eyebrows in seriousness and turned her head to glare at Collin who was next to her.
Collin also looked horrified. He shook his head decisively to prove his innocence.
Was there another reason for this? Even he didn't know, how could Anne know? Lyra didn't believe it either, "How old were you then? How could you possibly know these things. No more delay. Come back with me to the Lloyd Manor." Anne's tone was sure, "I really know it. My mother told me and let me keep the secret. | know once | go back to the Lloyd Manor today, my future will be like hell. So | make the secret a condition.” Lyra's red lips were pursed as she thought carefully about Anne's words.
Her mother died from an illness accidentally. Her brothers and her were sad for a long time because of her death and broke down for a long time, but now Anne was saying that she knew the real cause of her mother's death.
Should she believe it or not? Anne seemed to sense her confusion, "Lyra, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid to know the truth? Or are you afraid that I'm lying to you?" Lyra said calmly after deep thought, "I believe you for once. What do you want to exchange for this truth?" Anne's expression was extraordinarily delicate, as if she was thinking of something good to offer.
Lyra reminded, "It's impossible for me to let you leave Crana and go to Owhil with Paul. Other than that, | can consider other conditions." "I haven't thought about it for now, but | want you to come into the villa with me alone. There is something | want to let you see.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou will know the truth once you see it. The truth is about your mother's death. I only want to tell you this secret.” Lyra did not say anything. Collin coughed a few times and took the lead in agitation, "Lyra, don't go with her. If there is another reason of mother's death, we can take our time to investigate when we get back.” Lyra didn't believe him at all, "When | was assassinated by Ethel, | was injected with psychotropic drugs and pushed into the sea.
You knew about it, but you hid it for her for so many years. If there is really another reason for mom's death, it should have been found out long ago. Is there a deliberate concealment? Who knows it?" Collin's face was slightly wan. He made the mistake in the first place, so he can't blame Lyra for not trusting him, but he still insisted on his point of view.
"I know these things. | am sorry. Can you listen to me this time? Believe me that | really don't know this matter. Don't believe Anne. We'll go back and check it again.” Anne said, "What are you afraid of? Lyra knows martial s arts. My shoulders and hands are weak. Can | still bully her? If | can get along with her alone, it's good that | don't get bullied by her." Collin: "Then I will go with you together. As the family member, | also have the right to know the secret of my mother's death.” Anne watched him who kept defending for Lyra, and her expression became colder and colder with irritation, "But | don't want to tell you. | just want to tell Lyra, my dearest sister." For Lyra, her mother's death was always her pain. When her mother had an accident, she needed the spiritual support most but Anthony somehow worked in the Security Agency, resulting in their separation.
If there really was another reason for her mother's death, she had to figure it out.
However, Anne was tricky and must be guarded.
"Okay, | can go in with you alone. You'd better not be lying to me. | won't take pity on you when | get angry." She turned back to Kathleen, "Kathleen, inform Chad to bring the troops into the island and wait right in front of this villa. If | have gone in and not come out in ten minutes, and there are any unexpected circumstances, arrest Paul Hoare along with her. No one will get away with it by virtue of his identity." Kathleen listened to her words most,"Don't worry, Lyra. You have to be safe. We will be out there guarding and protecting you." Lyra nodded, leaving things to Kathleen.
Before going in with Anne, she subconsciously glanced at Collin who had a serious and grave expression, but said nothing. She quickly withdrew her gaze, followed Anne and entered the villa.
As a half-sister, Anne even did plastic surgery and adjusted her face shape in order to come back to revenge.
But the proportion of their features still had a lot of similarities.
Anne led the way as she walked along and chatted.
"Lyra, all this time I've never understood why you've been so lucky? No matter how many tricks | use, you just can't die." Lyra's tone was cold and condescending, "You're the one who's stupid."
