Irene was so shocked that she fell backwards, and Peter was quick to help her.
With tears in her eyes, she was resigned, "Is this bitch better than me? No matter her family, or her education, how can she compare with me? Only you and I are the right match!"
"Irene, even if all the women in this world are dead, I won't marry you!"
Keith's eyes were cold and he looked at her with disgust, "Do you hear me clearly? Now take your people and get out! Don't dirty my villa!"
Irene, with tear stains on her face, glared sorrowfully at Melissa who was next to Lyra.
"Keith, you mention withdrawing from the marriage to me again for this little bitch named Melissa? I will make you regret it!"
After she gritted her teeth and said those words, she left with her people.
When Irene had gone, Lyra approached Keith and asked him incredulously.
"Keith, did you just mean it? You really like Melissa?"
This news was too sudden. Lyra slowed down a little bit, "Then I frame myself up? My friend became my sister-in-law? Keith, you can't do this!"
Keith didn't answer her question and just said, "Lyra, it's late. Go to work first. I have something to talk with Miss Melissa alone."
"Okay."
Lyra looked over at Melissa, who was still in a dazed and overwhelmed state.
When only Keith and Melissa were left in the living room, Keith closed the door and walked toward the couch.
"Miss Melissa, please sit down."
"Oh good."
Melissa sat stiffly on the couch next to him, keeping a distance away with him.
Perhaps feeling a little awkward, Keith opened the drawer, took out a cigar, lit it, and exhaled.
With the coiling up smoke, his bass voice was more magnetic and deeper.
"Please don't pay too much attention to what happened just now. I just want to talk to you about a cooperation."
Melissa was a little confused, "What kind of cooperation?"
"I believe you can also see that I don't like Irene, so I want you to pretend to be my lover, help me to withdraw from the marriage with the Frazier family. In exchange, I'll help you succeed in the entertainment industry, help you to become best actress, help you to bring Corey down. And even if you want to personally dispose of this scum, I can also hand him over to you. ."
Melissa didn't say anything.
Keith continued: "Lyra must have promised you a lot of benefits, but I know you're a girl who doesn't like to owe people favors. Lyra has been very helpful to you, and you're very sorry in your heart. Lyra's career in the entertainment industry is on the rise, but I'm already at the top. You and I are just a partnership. We are mutually beneficial and don't owe each other."
After listening to his words, Melissa was relieved a lot.
Keith wondered, "What?"
Melissa laughed and shook her head, "No, I just feel lucky that you don't really like me but want to use this to work with me. I feel much better."
Otherwise, she would feel a sense of guilt that she had interfered in someone else's relationship and feel like a sinner.
Keith had little expression, "From what you said, you agreed?"
Melissa nodded and her eyes were firm, "Yes, I'm honored to work with you!"
"Great, I'll ask Jalen to arrange a lawyer to draft an agreement as soon as possible. As for how to act specifically, when the time comes, you just need to cooperate with me."
"Okay Mr. Lloyd."
...
Irene sat in the car all the way down the hill, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she was.
"Bitch! It's all a bunch of bitches!"
Peter tried to persuade her, "Miss, please calm down a little. We can go back and discuss a solution. You and Mr. Keith are in a business marriage. Even if he really wants to withdraw from the marriage, he has to go through Reginald first. It's not easy to withdraw it."
Irene pinched her palm hard, as if she was on the verge of going crazy.
"This marriage contract, as long as I'm still alive, he can never back out! But what happened today was so infuriating. I have to find a way to teach him a lesson! Let him know that I, Irene, am not so easy to be bullied!"
She looked out the window at the fading Anning Hill. Her eyes were filled with maliciousness.
