After divorce I am a billionaire

10:30 pm.

This charity party at the Garden Hotel was finally over.

Ashley walked toward the door while glancing sideways at the man beside her.

He was still as reserved and cold as ever. There was still hostility in his eyes.

Ashley was a little curious when she thought about how he had just played grievance in front of Lyra.

"Originally | thought it was because you have changed, but it turns out that you have just changed towards someone. I'm really curious. Is my cousin just acting in front of her, or does he really like her?" Melvin stood upright, as if he didn't hear her. He walked without saying a word.

Being ignored, Ashley didn't feel embarrassed but continued and got into a car with him.

Like a sandwich cookie, Chad sat in the middle of the two in the back row.

Because Melvin himself was very much refusing to sit beside Ashley, Chad was forced to beca personal type of barrier wall.

The car was fast and it only took eight minutes to get all the way to the outskirts.

It was a place with desolate surroundings and small but exquisite cabins.

Together with the bodyguard Ashley brought, the four entered a cabin together.

The cabin was lit only by a kerosene lamp, and the light was very obscure.

Melvin looked around the cabin and found that whether it was the sheets and bedding, or the desktop bed, they were all clean and had signs of habitation.

It seemed that Charlotte had been living here since she was taken out of prison.

Thinking of this, Melvin looked askance at Ashley and sneered, "I didn't expect. The Harrington family has this kind of ability to bring her out of prison unnoticed.” Ashley smiled, "Of course. She is your sweetheart. | save her and is also helping you." "She's not." Never was his sweetheart.

Melvin answered without hesitation.

At this moment, Charlotte was sitting on a wooden bed. She no longer had the messy hair and crazy look when she was at the party. Except for the face that was still with injuries, she seemed like a new person.

Hearing Melvin's firm denial, Charlotte sobbed and her tears were falling down.

"Melvin why? You lovedso much. What the hell did Lyra do to you!? Have you forgotten the promise you once made to me? Have you forgotten that | saved your life decades ago?" Once the saving matter matter was mentioned, Melvin's hostility becgreater, which was frightening.

Because of this so-called promise, he ignored Lyra's love for him over the past years, and wronged her and verbally insulted her.

When he thought of the words he had used to insult Lyra, he wanted to slap himself.

He kept his head down, hiding the sudden surge of guilt, and ignored Charlotte's words.

Chad answered for him, "Miss Charlotte, boss already knew you're not the girl who saved his life. Don't you think it's rather silly to talk about favors now?" Charlotte froze and suddenly fell softly to her knees at Melvin's feet.

"Melvin you were cheated by her! | really saved you. | was at the scene, but | was young. | was afraid, so | did not rush up first.

There was a girl dragging you out of the car and she left. And | went up to save you. It was really me!" She cried with earnest, and her eyes were incomparably sincere.

Melvin did not speak.

Ashley handed a copy of the information to him.

"Melvin, what she said is indeed true. | sent someone to check it out. Believe it or not." He took it and carefully read it. His stern face remained unchanged, and his dark eyes were as deep as a dark pool.

"So that's it. | thought it was Lyra who saved me. Looks like she tricked me." Charlotte was relieved to hear this and whimpered, "Melvin, she is a cruel bitch. She is the one who putin this situation. You must not let her get away with this!" Ashley also said, "Melvin, | heard that since you signed an agreement with her, she has been abusing and torturing you a lot.

She harms your life saver, the Freeman family and you in such a bad way. Don't you want to dong something?" Melvin's dark eyes grew deeper and deeper.

He looked down at the information in his hands, deliberately hiding the anger in his eyes.

In a cold tone, he asked, "What do you want?" Ashley offered an ingratiating smile, "Why don't we join forces? You continue to gain her trust. Telleverything she does, and we'll work together inside and out to see the opportunity to get her killed." "No! Don't just get killed!" Charlotte shouted and the malice in her eyes gradually revealed, "Give her to me. What | suffered in prison, she must suffer all over again! | want her to experience the ultimate pain, and finally die with hatred!" Melvin thin lips gently pursed. His face was without expression, but his hands clenched hard.

He looked to Ashley and asked calmly, "Why should I join forces with you when | can do it myself?" "Lottie's appearance at the charity party was really well planned, unlike your tactics. If cousin, you want to cooperate, you have to be sincere and showthe value of working with you." Ashley was a little happy to be called "cousin".

She thought about it and felt that since she was working together, she really should be honest with each other.

"It's true that | didn't plan this time. I'm just responsible for the execution, but don't worry cousin, the person who planned all this is meticulous and can set traps one after another. You will not lose out if you cooperate with us.” "Is that so?" He smiled softly, "And who is this man?" "I can't tell you this yet. I'll tell you when you expose the first thing on Lyra so we can all trust each other." Melvin glanced at Chad, and the raging anger deep in his eyes was finally not being concealed.

"No, | don't have the patience to wait until that time. | need to know now!" As he finished his words, the bodyguard behind Ashley was suddenly muffled and grunted. His eyes were bulging, and he covered his the neck in a very hideous way. And there was blood flowing along his fingers.

Struggling for a second, the bodyguard died violently on the spot and fell to the ground.

Chad, standing behind him, took out a tissue and gently wiped the knife with a numb expression.

Ashley and Charlotte, both being timid, were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"Melvin!" "Melvin, what are you doing!?" Melvin's hostility was considerable. He tore the so-called truth in hand and coldly looked at Charlotte who was on the ground.

"Who savedback then in the end, the truth is no longer important. Even if it's really you, when | gave you money for your education, to meet all your vanity, | have repaid your kindness. Now | love her. You have hurt her so many times. It's tyou should bear the consequences!" Charlotte collapsed to the ground, covering her mouth in disbelief and crying out in pain.

Ashley gritted her teeth in anger, "So you just tried to cooperate and you were deliberately lying to me? Trying to reduce my alarm so you could kill my people?" Melvin did not retort, turned his head and instructed Chad, "Pack them all up and take them back to the villa. Leave them to Lyra herself." "Yes, boss." Chad pulled out his drug-soaked handkerchief and led the way toward Ashley.

Ashley took two steps back and stuck to the door with a grin.

"Melvin, you don't really think that the people planning behinddidn't expect this, do you? Since you refuse to join forces, it depends on whether you have the ability to take us away!" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
