She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 244

Leo honestly hadn't expected Lucas to actually have feelings for Lyra.

He cautiously glanced over at her, but there wasn't a trace of sadness on her face. If anything, she looked like she had just dropped a massive burden. Without lingering, she turned around and walked into the house.

Inside, Kayla was speaking in a soothing, gentle tone, trying to calm a still-fuming Caleb. "Everything your sister does is for this family. She would never do anything to hurt us. Don't let outsiders get into your head..."

Seeing Lyra walk in, Kayla added, "Caleb is just worried about you. You have to promise us that was the last time you pull a stunt that dangerous."

"I promise, Kayla. Caleb, I swear I won't do anything dangerous ever again."

With that, Lyra turned and headed upstairs. Once inside her bedroom, she locked the door behind her.

She pulled a small, white fake tooth from her drawer and held it in her palm. It was weightless—just like her life had been in her previous timeline.

Half a month ago, after Alan and his team had flawlessly executed their mission, she immediately canceled the lease on the suburban house and had them fly out of the country,.

To ensure there was no trail and to avoid raising any suspicion, Lyra hadn't even shown up to see them off.

A few days ago, she handed the final piece of evidence over to Secretary Thorne. Thorne promised the matter wouldn't go through the Seaborne City local government, and she had watched with her own eyes as his assistant filed it away securely.

Everything was set. All she had to do was wait for tomorrow.

So why did her heart still feel like it was pounding out of her chest?

...

The next morning, Lyra woke up and blindly reached for her phone on the nightstand.

The second she unlocked the screen, notifications about Rowan and Jasmine's engagement flooded her feed.

It was dominating every major media headline, and her unread messages were blowing up.

[Rowan Jameson, CEO of Jameson Group, purchases multi-million dollar hillside estate.]
