Lyra's face was instantly serious.
Irene was so quick to act. She can hardly retain her composure?
She first looked at Malcolm and instructed, "Mel, there are girls backstage. It's not convenient for you to go. I'll come to you later. Remember, no drinking!"
In front of the outsider, she just raised her eyebrows to indicate, and the cunning threat in her eyes spoke for itself.
Malcolm pursed his lips and nodded.
Lyra was then relieved to leave with the assistant.
As soon as she left, Malcolm's face grew bitter.
Not long after, he called Chad over and whispered instructions, "Have Ted keep a secret eye on Rara's safety. And you keep an eye on the Frazier family's siblings. Report to me any time when there's any movement."
"Yes, boss!"
When Chad was gone, he looked up at the Frazier family's villa and his eyes looked obscure.
He turned his head quickly, but he saw Keith walking head-on toward him.
Keith had previously learned from Lyra the fact that Malcolm was once Melvin.
His face was not very friendly, yet not as sharp as Collin's before.
Malcolm was bound to pass a few obstacles set by his brother-in-law in the future.
And Keith almost knew all of those things happened between he and Lyra in Frayton, and he was probably the most easy obstacle to overcome.
Thinking of this, he smiled and tried to cotton up, "Hi, my brother-in-law, do you specially come for me?"
Keith was a little offended, "Who's your brother-in-law? It's just an engagement. You're not married yet."
Malcolm didn't retort but just smiled, "Talk?"
...
Lyra followed her assistant into the villa and went to the Butterfly Girls' special makeup room.
Before entering, the girls' noisy and slightly crying voices came from inside.
The assistant pushed open the door and several girls with their backs to the door were gathered together. No one knew what they were looking at.
Lyra walked over, "What's wrong?"
The crowd heard her voice and turned around.
Lila Combs, who debuted in the fourth place at the competition before, anxiously ran over to pull Lyra's hand.
"Ms. Lloyd, look, Melissa's stage dress is ruined. And the party is about to start in ten minutes or so. What should we do!?"
The other girls were anxious as well.
They became a group since the debut. And they had always been popular. Some time ago Gloria was withdrawn from the group because of the mistress thing so the team only had six people left, causing a lot of fans who announced to unfollow them.
Although today was only an ordinary show, all of the guests invited were Suham's big names, and many of them hoped that they can be seen by some handsome and wealthy men so they might enter rich families.
And this was a team performance. If one person got mistake, others had to follow the disaster.
Lyra knew what they were thinking but didn't say anything. She just went up to check out the show dress.
The exquisite dress had been very badly cut into rags, without leaving a chance of sewing and remodeling.
And the dress wearer, Melissa was sitting on the couch.
Of all the members, she seemed the most calm one, as if she had already guessed that she would be given a hard time.
Lyra turned her head to look at her, "Melissa, what's your opinion?"
Melissa: "Since my dress is broken and I can't go on stage, you can claim I'm sick and the five of them will dance as usual."
