The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 168

He was reclining on the sofa. His blue eyes were smilingly staring at Melvin.

The posture was lazy and evil.

He checked the men around Melvin. He was not a simple character, and Melvin's profile was so clean, so clean that he had to be suspicious.

"I'm just Melvin. That's all."

Melvin's dark eyes stared at him. He stepped up to the sofa next to Anthony's and sat straight and upright.

Melvin gently glanced at him. The first he noticed was Anthony’s perfect pectoral muscles and collarbone which were exposed from his black shirt. With the blue and deep eyes, he was simply good-looking like a goblin.

Even he, a man, found this image beautiful, and Lyra should find it eye-catching too, right?

Melvin suddenly remembered what Anthony said to Lyra "affection for so many years". And in the police department, when Lyra saw Anthony, her face was complex.

Lyra she ... once liked him, right?

Anthony noticed that he was staring at his body, and smiled evilly, "I am a man who is imperative to what is mine. If someone else dares to get his hands on it, I will chop that person up and snatch it back. You know what I mean?"

Melvin laughed.

Anthony wanted to chop him up?

He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it haughtily. "You can try. I’ll keep you company, but ..." Melvin said it in a highly provocative tone.

He paused and his expression was serious and deliberate, "Lyra she is not anyone's personal belongings. I have long learned it. She has always had opinions and ideas. She makes decisions that no one can influence."

"Sure, but I can guide her to make choices, like last night."

The black eyes of Melvin were a little focused, hostile, and cold.

Anthony sat up and glared at him, "I taught her how to use a gun. She's very smart and learned so quick. I was right behind her last night and watched her did it clearly."

Melvin realized what he was trying to say and frowned furiously.

He continued: "If she didn't want to hurt you, she was perfectly capable of leaving you unharmed. So she was angry with you and even wanted to kill you. You are just a pet to her. Get rewarded for obedience and punished for disobedience. She stopped loving you a long time ago."

"Think again about the look on her face when she first met me. She has me in her heart. When the misunderstanding between her and I is solved. You, the pet, will have no meaning to exist. Can you understand?"

Melvin's thin lips pursed, and his pupils were trembling slightly. His dark eyes were deep and cold.

Anthony admired the look on his face and smiled cockily.

But the next moment, Melvin also smiled.

"You deserve to be the boss of Security Agency. You’re good at coming between us, and scheming. You can seize people's vulnerability and hurt their hearts the most."

With what he said, Anthony stared at him cautiously with his beautiful eyes.

He didn’t say too much, and Melvin was so quickly reacted to. This man was never so simple as the surface.

Melvin continued, "It wasn't just that easy for you to quietly ask me to meet you today, was it?"

Anthony resumed his lightly smiling expression.

"Don't you want to see how important you really are in her heart? When facing death, does she care more about you or me?"

The two men looked at each other from a distance.

One was cold, hostile and deep.

The other was evil and impetuous.

...

Lyra and Jackie were in a meeting. During which a sudden noise came from outside in the hallway.

The sound was loud.

Lyra and Jackie both looked at each other and got up to push the door open to check.

Outside the door, a man in a suit was arguing with a female assistant.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

The assistant came over and said, "Ms. Carroll, I told this gentleman you were in a meeting with Jackie and couldn't see him. But he just tried to barge in and I almost couldn't stop him!"

The man turned back to Lyra and bowed respectfully, "Miss Carroll."

Lyra sized up his face as if she had seen him somewhere, "You're with Anthony?"
