After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 272

He was heavily handcuffed and walked slowly with each step.

There were bruises on his arms and neck. His skin was rough. And he was bearded. He was completely different from the past.

Except for the still very distinctive blue eyes, Lyra could barely recognized him.

Anthony stared at her through the glass and picked up the phone.

Lyra followed his movement and took the phone.

"Lyra, it's been a long time. You seem surprised. You don't remember me so soon?"

Lyra had little expression and her voice was extraordinarily cold, "I didn't come here to listen to your bullshit. If you don't say it, I'll leave."

Anthony curled his lips playfully and tut-tutted twice, "You're really ruthless, all preoccupied with your little pet."

Seeing that Lyra was about to put down the phone, Anthony said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll get down to the point!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face was evil and weird, "Lyra, although I'm trapped, I know better than anyone that your current fiancé Malcolm is your ex-husband in Frayton. Your little pet, right?"

Lyra was slightly stunned and sneered without changing her face, "Who did you hear that from? I didn't know that."

"No need to hide it, Lyra. I'm just incredulous he got engaged to you when he has such a serious illness."

Lyra instantly got serious and slapped the table, "What else do you know? What serious illness does he have?"

Anthony smiled wryly, "I know all about him. I guess not many people know these things except me."

"In exchange for these secrets, what are your terms?" Lyra quickly calmed down. She was clear about that.

Anthony applauded, "You're still so smart and likable. It's really no trouble to talk to you at all."

The disgust in Lyra's eyes was not hidden at all, "I don't want to hear this nonsense. Just say it!"

Anthony smiled wickedly. His blue eyes were deep and dark. His dry lips were close to the microphone and he said in a very small voice.

"Get Collin to bail me out. Break off the engagement with Malcolm, and marry me."

Lyra listened with a frown.

"I have no problem getting Collin to bail you out. Except this, you don't even think about it."

Anthony's eyes dropped and he was a little hurtful, "It seems you have fallen in love with him? Don't worry. I just need a shelter. After my accident, the Callahan family is all in the hands of Shane. He wants to abandon me for power and reputation. If I go out, I need the Lloyd family to cover me and let me rise again."

Lyra was unmoved and her face was cold, "You think the cancellation of the engagement is too easy? I can't make that decision."

"Lyra, don't joke with me. You are the treasure of the Lloyd family. Breaking off the engagement will just cause a little loss of money. As long as you really want to do it, I believe Collin must be willing to it for you."

Lyra's red lips pursed and she stopped talking.

Anthony continued, "Besides, aren't you curious about the secrets he has? I guarantee you'll want to hear it. Break off, bail me out, and marry me. Just three conditions. Not a single one can be omitted."

Lyra lowered her head and was silent for a long time.

Her palm was clenched so tightly that the blue veins were clearly visible under her fair and light skin.

"Well, have you thought about it?"

"Yes."

She lifted her eyes and looked at Anthony again, and her starry eyes were firm, "I hate to be constrained by others! I can't back out of my marriage for you!"
