After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 762

After that night, it was clear to Mavis that Anthony was intentionally distancing himself from her.

Although they still shared the same room at night, he had become significantly less talkative and even always kept a certain distance.

That titillating distance that was so close never happened again.

Mavis was getting used to his hot and cold attitude and was focused on her work.

The two had an unspoken cold war that lasted for a month.

...

Early November.

Suham had a big case that had been a national sensation.

Lyra was busy working at the Lloyd's Corp when the case went viral on the Internet.

During these years, the Lloyd's Corp had focused on developing its business overseas and had made its trade flourish.

In just five years, the Lloyd's Corp had become one of the top 30 companies in the world in terms of value.

After a conference, the Lloyd's Corp's senior leaders were all whispering in the room. Everyone's face was extraordinarily grave.

Lyra noticed that something was wrong, but didn't ask any questions until she got back to her office and asked Kellie, the special assistant who had been transferred from Angel Group.

"What are they all talking about today? Once the meeting was over, it seemed like they were all talking about the news."

Kellie was surprised, "Ms. Lloyd, you didn't know? It's in the news now. It came out this morning. It's already in the headlines of all the major news agencies. I guess the whole Suham is talking about it now."

Lyra looked at the contract carelessly, with no particular expression, "Too many things to deal with. I haven't had time to read it online."

Kellie was interested in explaining this to her boss.

"Late last night, the former rich Stone family was exterminated overnight. I heard that the death is tragic. The whole villa has a horrible bloody smell. When you look at it, you may have nightmares."

"At least it is an upper-class family. They're all dead so silently. It is said that the Stone family's daughter, Nevaeh Stone, died at the window. Half of the body is outside, presumably trying to jump out of the window to escape. When she was found, the clothes were disheveled. Her body was cut by dozens of knives. It's all fatal. Very bloody. Like someone is deliberately seeking revenge. "

"The Stones, and those servants bodyguards, a total of more than a hundred people, not a single one alive, really... too bad ..."

Kellie's voice was shaking as she recounted it, feeling horrible at the thought of that image. Even her calves were a little unsteady.

Lyra went from listening carelessly to having a very serious expression.

She frowned, recalling Kellie's words in her head.

Over a hundred people?

The Stone family, because offended Anthony, was readjusted by him secretly. The Stone Group's strength had long been greatly reduced, was close to exit the circle of rich families, and declared bankruptcy.

In this case, the Stones, plus the bodyguards and servants, the number couldn't pass a hundred.

Unless ...

"Last night, was the Stone family throwing some kind of party?"

Kellie nodded, "I heard it was Dylan Stone's birthday. Because the business had some problems, some bigwigs did not go. Dylan only invited his relatives, and had a simple birthday in the garden. Who knew this would happen, causing the entire Stone family ... all dead. The whole family was wiped out."

Lyra took a deep breath. It was hard to imagine such a tragedy happening in Suham, the most secure city in the country, run by the NIB and the police department.

Moreover, the murder used such a cruel method to annihilate the entire Stone family.

Slashing, blood and flesh, the scene was terrible.

Lyra always felt there was something wrong in this case.

So many lives, the murder was too cruel. For what reason?

She had a bad feeling about what Kellie had just told her, and felt a strange trepidation at the thought of it.

Being worried about Malcolm's case investigation, Lyra called Malcolm after she sent Kellie away.

Malcolm used to answer her calls in seconds.

But this time, the phone rang for a full minute, and the melodious sound of a ringing telephone kept coming from the receiver.
