The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 375

At the sound of Lyra's voice, the woman looked ta her, and the smile on that stunning little face was gentle.

"Miss Lyra, long time no see. It's Christmas' Eve, how are you and Mr. Malcolm doing?"

"Very good, Miss Ethel. You don't have programs today? Then how come you didn't go back to reunite with your family? Who let you into the Anning Hill?"

"The bodyguard at the foot of the hill let me in. Miss Lloyd, don't get me wrong. My endorsement contract with White Corp about the Rossi Project is about to expire. I heard Mr. Malcolm is here, so I came in person just to talk to him. I hope he will give me another endorsement opportunity. "

Lyra narrowed her cold eyes incredulously, "Miss Ethel, you're the most sought-after star, and now you need to personally talk business? Are your agent and the company all just idle?"

"After all, White Corp's endorsement contract is not easy to get, and I'm afraid the agent team can't handle it. I don't want to miss this opportunity to make money, so of course I have to do it myself."

Lyra looked at her askance, not believing her at all.

If she was really looking for Malcolm and could get here in Anning Hill of the Lloyd Manor, then she was really well-informed.

Ethel smiled with arched eyebrows. She was not yet twenty years old, but her beautiful eyes were more mature than Keira's, who was the same age with her.

She looked to the villa, "Miss Lloyd, your family reunion is so lively today. Is it convenient to invite me in?"

"It's all family, not convenient."

Lyra decisively refused and didn't make it nice with her.

"Well, it seems you have prejudice of me." Ethel didn't feel embarrassed and still smiled.

"It's getting late. I'll have my bodyguard send you down the hill. Malcolm has something to do. I'm afraid he won't even talk to you about endorsement cooperation lately. Please go back."

Lyra did not bother to continue to argue with her and directly evicted her.

Lyra had not returned so Collin was not quite at ease. He came out all the way to look for her, but in the moment of seeing Ethel, he stared at her.

"What brings you here?"

Hearing it was Collin's questioning voice, Lyra turned around and looked at her brother in wonder, "You know each other?"

Ethel didn't say anything, and Collin didn't have much expression on his face.

"Not familiar, just met a few times on TV. Rara, it's cold here. Come inside with me."

Collin came out with a fur cloak. He put it on Lyra, and carefully wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Again, he told the bodyguard on duty at the entrance, "Send this young lady down the hill."

After the order, he wrapped his arms around Lyra and led her back to the villa without giving Ethel an extra look.

Ethel didn't leave and stood in the doorway for a long time.

She watched the backs of both Collin and Lyra for a moment in silence.

The cold wind blew her hair, covering the chill in her eyes.

It was only when the two disappeared completely from sight that she turned away and was led down the hill by the bodyguard.

...

On the way back to the villa, Lyra kept watching Collin's demeanor and noticed that his expression was weird since he saw Ethel, yet she can't tell what he was thinking.

Lyra could only ask tentatively, "Collin, you don't seem to like that Miss Ethel very much?"

"I can't say I like her. I don't know her well." Collin was expressionless, then he said: "Instead of caring about this, you should care about whether Malcolm is having a good time later."

What happened to Ethel really didn't matter much compared to Malcolm.

She did not continue to think deeply and immediately went into the villa's hall.

Micah and Collin had already brought the prepared wine to the coffee table.

Three small glasses which were full of wine were placed in front of Malcolm in a regular manner.

Lyra quickly step forward to look at the liquid in the glasses. The color was clear, like good wine.

But Lyra, who knew her brothers too well, knew exactly that Micah would not really let Malcolm drink three simple glasses of wine.
