It seemed this was just the first domino to fall.
Lyra genuinely hadn't expected that her parents had been watching over her so closely from the shadows all this time.
They had even sacrificed lucrative deals just to manipulate Maxwell into treating her better.
Looking back, she truly was the ultimate definition of a rebellious, ungrateful daughter.
While waiting for the elevator, Lyra heard Leo's phone ringing incessantly.
One project after another was being axed for a variety of reasons.
She didn't even need to turn around to know that the look on Maxwell's face right now had to be absolutely priceless.
He was probably dying to know what the hell was going on.
The elevator doors chimed and slid open. Just as Lyra was about to step inside, she heard Maxwell's voice behind her.
"Did you really have to make things this incredibly ugly?"
Lyra wasn't entirely sure if he was talking to her, so she didn't bother breaking her stride.
But a second after she stepped into the elevator, she heard heavy footsteps rushing up behind her.
Maxwell barged straight in.
The moment the doors sealed shut, he shoved Lyra aggressively against the elevator wall, his eyes blazing with fury.
