She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 427

They shared the same bed that night, but nothing happened between them.

Ford Enterprises was dead and buried. But Lyra knew the real nightmare was still looming—a catastrophic crisis that threatened to crush her entirely.

When Leo Chavez and Madeline Vance met up with Lyra at the club, they found her burying her hands in her hair, ruthlessly massaging her scalp in pure distress.

After Leo figured out she was losing her mind over Rowan's relentless obsession, he flat-out admitted there was absolutely nothing he could do.

Madeline leaned in with a smirk. "Rowan's probably forgotten you used to be a spoiled, unmanageable brat. Just act like your old self. Make his life a living hell..."

Lyra considered it. She poured herself a drink. If worst came to worst, she could always beg Secretary Thorne to help her fake her own death. But abandoning her family over a man like Rowan Jameson? It wasn't worth the sacrifice.

The cost was just too high.

As night fell, Andrea Nash arrived right on time to pick her up. Slumping into the backseat, Lyra let out a heavy sigh. She couldn't even go to her own home anymore.

Andrea closed the door, her expression tight. "Miss Fairchild, the boss has been in a foul mood the past few days. I highly recommend you don't push his buttons."

"He's in a bad mood?" Lyra scoffed, rolling her eyes. "My mood is ten times worse than his."

Rowan lived by a rigid, disciplined schedule, keeping his life organized to a borderline obsessive degree.

Lyra decided to do the exact opposite. That night, she ordered a mountain of junk food delivery, turning the pristine coffee table into a chaotic mess of greasy takeout containers.

When Rowan walked in and saw the disaster, his brow immediately furrowed. "Lyra, eating this garbage is terrible for you. Show a little respect for your own body."

Lyra flashed a mocking smile. "Oh, absolutely. I should be as disciplined and obedient as Sylvia. After all, she's the perfect wife material in everyone's eyes."
