After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 29

Looking at Melvin's expression, Lyra guessed that he should have also found out who was behind it.

So, he came over here to condemn her or what?

Melvin didn't say anything, just staring at her.

Instead, Fred came forward first and protested, "Miss Carroll, you're ruthless!"

Though Lyra had divorced Melvin, after all, the two were her former mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Even if they had done something wrong, the punishment for them had gone too far, right?

His admiration for the kind-hearted Charlotte had instantly increased a bit more.

Lyra glanced at him and did not retort, merely sparing Melvin a thoughtful glance.

"You think so too?"

Melvin frowned, about to speak, but Fiona, who heard the movement at the door, lunged over and hugged him, starting to denounce Lyra, "Son, look what this vicious bitch has done to your sister! She even smashed up the house! You must send her to jail. I want her to stay there until she dies and repent for the rest of her life!"

Melvin's handsome eyebrows were knitted more tightly.

Everyone looked at him as if they were waiting for him to make a decision.

So was Lyra .

However, she remained calm and collected, ready for the next step no matter which side Melvin would choose.

Fiona put on her smugness again. As her baby son was back, he was sure to help her!

She's waiting to see how this bitch Lyra dies!

As the crowd watched, having their own opinions in heart, Melvin took two steps closer to Lyra.

The black-clad bodyguards immediately went to block in front of Lyra, but were stopped by the latter.

She wanted to see what he was up to.

Melvin stopped there, a few steps away from Lyra.

He sighed, and his head lowered slightly toward Lyra.

"This time, it was they who tried to hurt you first, and you deserved to retaliate against the Freeman family. It was their fault, and I apologize on their behalf."

At these words, everyone was shocked!

Lyra also fell into silence.

She had thought he might defend his own family.

But it never occurred to her that he didn't object to her retaliation and even offered an apology?

This was the first time she felt he was sensible, responsible, and less of an asshole.

Fiona, however, could not accept it.

She grabbed Melvin and started to scream and shout.

"You're my son! How could you not take my side but go help this bitch! Do you have the heart to watch her torture your sister and me? How can you be so heartless?

"I don't care! You must give me an explanation! Or I'll disown you, ungrateful brat!"

Although Melvin was being pulled by her, he was still unruffled in that blue tailor-made suit.

He didn't move a muscle, letting his mother do whatever she wanted.

When Fiona saw that he was unmoved, she was so pissed that she rushed straight towards Lyra, trying to tear her apart. It was only then that Melvin turned to stare to the servants who were watching the show beside.

"The lady has lost her mind. Take her back to her room and call the family doctor to come take a look."

With the order, Fred quickly arranged for the servants to take the cursing Fiona into the manor.

They also carried Sheila on the garden floor to her room.

The rest of the servants also dispersed and began to clean up the mess.

Outside the Freeman Manor, there were only Melvin and Lyra along with the ten black-clad bodyguards Lyra brought with her.
