I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 205

Bang—

Just as Maxwell finished his sentence, the door was violently kicked open.

Before Maxwell could even process what was happening, he was forcefully kicked to the floor.

Tears immediately spilled from the corners of Lyra's eyes.

The very next moment, she was pulled into an incredibly familiar and warm embrace.

Inhaling that signature scent, only one thought crossed Lyra's mind.

He came.

Opening her eyes and seeing Miles standing there brought her an overwhelming sense of relief.

Maxwell scrambled to his feet.

He stared wide-eyed at Miles and the group of men behind him, his fury palpable.

"Miles, you again!"

With a roar, he threw himself at Miles.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't even get close.

The bodyguards behind Miles reacted instantly, pinning Maxwell down. Despite his wild thrashing, he couldn't break free.

"Why do you keep ruining my plans?! Miles, I really regret not killing you back then!"

Maxwell's screaming was completely unhinged.

It was obvious he was in the middle of a total breakdown.

Miles stared down at him, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"I know you had a hand in what happened back then. I know you'll do whatever it takes to ruin me. But don't worry, I'm hard to kill. I'm certainly not dying before I see you get exactly what you deserve."

As he spoke, he began untying the ropes around Lyra's wrists, his movements infinitely gentle.

Looking at the man so close to her, Lyra suddenly felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.

It wasn't until Lyra and Miles had vanished from sight that the bodyguards finally let Maxwell go.

"The boss said you better watch your back from now on. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle the wrath of the Gardner Family."

It was a blatant threat, which only fueled Maxwell's rage.

But amidst that rage, one thing became crystal clear to him.

As long as Miles was around, he and Lyra could never get back together.

Miles was the biggest obstacle standing between them.

He had to eliminate Miles first.

Meanwhile.

Miles carried Lyra outside.

The moment they stepped out of the secluded hotel, Lyra spoke up. "Put me down."
