It was Melvin's voice.
Lyra's relief was replaced by anger, "Why aren't you answering your phone?"
The man's tone was tinged with a hint of sleepiness and fatigue, "I fell asleep. It's so late. Why haven't you rested? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing happened. I had insomnia and couldn't sleep."
"So ... I stay up late with you?"
"Hmm."
Lyra answered softly. Remembering the dream just now, she ordered him seriously, "I remind you once again. You are not allowed to go anywhere, and the phone volume must be the maximum. As long as it is my call, you must answer no matter what time."
The Melvin on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and his tone was light, "I see, so are you sleepy now?"
"Not sleepy."
"So do you want me to tell you a story?"
"Don't."
"So are you hungry? You send me the address where you live. I'll order a late night snack for you?"
"Not hungry."
Melvin didn't know what to say.
It was the end of the conversation!
Lyra did have trouble sleeping and finally got Melvin to tell the story.
Melvin found some funny jokes on the Internet and told them to her one by one.
Because of the poor storytelling skills, the air was once embarrassing, but Lyra fell asleep without realizing it under his hypnotic and magic voice.
The second day.
Lyra's people followed her orders respectively.
But Vincent stayed at Cenmann Manor for a whole day and never left the house.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lyra got a little impatient and asked Keith to go in and lure the man out himself.
After waiting for another half hour, Vincent followed Keith out the door, but how could he have expected to be knocked out with a stick just outside the door of his own villa?
When Vincent woke up again, he found himself was to a chair, with his mouth gagged and a table placed in front of him.
The surrounding was closed and dim, like a basement.
He was completely baffled, struggling desperately and screaming.
The door to the basement opened and he saw the woman walking towards him, with exquisite makeup and those clear, starry eyes that looked like they could suck people in, beautiful like a goblin.
After seeing the woman, he was first shocked, then did not struggle and did not shout.
Lyra looked at his reaction and smiled coldly, "It seems that you have seen a lot of my photos recently. You have not seen me for so many years. I'm quite beautiful now and you can even recognize me at once."
She walked to the chair across from Vincent's table and sat down, winking at Eleven.
Eleven stepped forward and ripped the seal off his mouth.
Vincent's beard was ripped, making a painful grimace.
He calmed himself down and glared angrily at Lyra, "I'm your uncle! How dare you let Keith trick me out and kidnap me! This is how you treat your elders?"
Lyra rested her chin in her hand and smiled carelessly.
"It's not like it's the first day you know I'm lawless. And besides, I have a great attitude! As an elder, you did something unethical and have long been unworthy to be respected."
Vincent narrowed his eyes, "I do not have ethic? I have always not asked about the family's affairs. Being a lazy and idle person, did I did something unethical?"
"Take a look at this and you'll know."
Lyra looked again at Eleven, who handed Anthony's confession to his eyes.
