I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 212

After finishing her sentence, Lyra turned and walked away without missing a beat.

Watching her retreating figure, Jace remained stunned for quite some time.

Only when she completely disappeared from view did he finally turn around and walk into the villa.

Ever since Courtney Miller had left, Lyra hadn't gone back to the hotel.

When she turned eighteen, Harrison and Eleanor had bought her a property in Averston, and she had instructed someone to clean it up in advance.

However, she didn't head straight home. Instead, she swung by the hospital for a check-up and got a vitamin IV drip to regain some energy.

By the time she finally arrived at the house, it was already late.

Lyra collapsed onto the sofa, resting quietly to let her body recover.

Then, she pulled out her phone and logged into Weibo to check Aria Moon's recent activities.

To her surprise, Aria had been quietly filming her new project with zero marketing stunts.

But Lyra knew perfectly well that expecting Aria to just roll over and stay quiet was a pipe dream.

Lyra didn't even know when she drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up the next day, her body no longer felt as weak as before.

She ordered some takeout, grabbed a quick bite, and headed out.

Along the way, Lyra could clearly feel eyes watching her from the shadows.

Just like before, someone was tailing her, and she had no idea if they were friend or foe.

In the past, she might have just ignored it.

But Lyra wasn't about to give him the chance.

"Spit it out. Who sent you? Don't even try to lie. Even if you stay quiet, I have a hundred ways to make you talk. Though, I can't promise whoever's backing you won't be furious when they find out."

Her blatant threat made the man's face drain of color instantly.

He looked terrified. After a brief internal struggle, he gritted his teeth and stammered, "I—I don't know what you're talking about, miss. If that's all, I need to get going."

He barely turned around when Lyra spoke again. "The fact that you're this terrified to look at me tells me you don't work for Maxwell."

"It's Miles, isn't it."

She had already connected the dots, rendering his silence meaningless.

The way the man froze confirmed her suspicions entirely.
