Claudia cried by her yelling and was afraid to look at the man in the bed.
But Lyra was pulling her hair, and she couldn't escape.
The sharp pain in her knees and scalp stimulated her nerves and she screamed. She was on the verge of tearing down her defenses.
"I'm not wrong! I was just trying to protect myself. It's all your fault Lyra. You caused this!"
"Reginald deserved what he got! I wouldn't be at Ethel's mercy if he hadn't insisted on giving you the inheritance and pushing me to the impasse!"
She and Lyra had never gotten along. And Lyra had said before that once she took the inheritance, Claudia would be thrown out of the Lloyd Manor and she would never live well.
Claudia had been pampered in the Lloyd Manor for so many years. If she was kicked out, it was equivalent to sentence her to death. She had no ability to survive alone and she was not going to survive!
But it would be different if Ethel took the inheritance and she could still be Mrs. Lloyd in the future.
She was not wrong. She was just making a living for herself!
Lyra was slightly shocked, not expecting her to be unrepentant at all.
Being enraged, Lyra slapped her hard in the face and forced her to look at Reginald.
"What did my dad do wrong? You're greedy for riches and framed him to sleep with you! You were the one who forced my dad to be responsible for you! Over all these years, has he ever done anything wrong to you?"
"He told me that after his death, he wants me to vacate a mansion for you to live in and transfer 5% of the shares of the Lloyd Group to you, so that you can have the dividends and continue to live a free life. He also said that if you want to remarry, I will not stop you!"
"And you? Is that how you repay him?"
Claudia's eyes were dilated in shock as she stared blankly at her unconscious husband on the bed.
"How is it possible! He ... actually helped me think of a way out already?"
Lyra looked at her sarcastically, "Claudia, you know very well my character. I'll seek revenge for the smallest grievance! Although I have quarreled with you over the years, I have never done any substantial harm to you, just because my dad cares about you!"
"I ..."
Claudia's whole body was shaking and she couldn't say a word.
She never loved Reginald. When she married him, her purpose was to enjoy the glory and wealth of the rich family. She thought Reginald was the same and only regarded her as a young, new and interesting accompany.
However, Reginald actually loved her, and arranged everything for her in advance. He wanted her to live the rest of her life comfortably!
She let out a loud cry. The guilt had almost drowned her whole being.
Lyra stared at her icily, and her tone was light, "You are really stupid and bad. My dad is the only person in the Lloyd family who can protect you. You harmed my dad and know so many secrets of Ethel. With Ethel's character, she will find a way to get you killed after things have come to a close!"
"I am at least her half-blooded sister but she can even kill me many times. It can be seen that she is ruthless to the extreme!"
"You have nothing to do with her, so what makes you believe she'll actually bail you out?"
Claudia's breathing stalled, and even her crying stopped. Suddenly it dawned on her.
She was wrong and so wrong!
She turned her head, grabbed Lyra's dress, and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry Lyra. I was wrong! I really realized my stupidity! Can you give me one more chance?"
Lyra kicked her away and looked down at her from above. Her eyes looked so cold.
"If I give you a chance, can you wake up my dad? He's a lifelong vegetable because of you, and he never has a chance, so who are you to beg for my forgiveness?"
Claudia was questioned by her and could not say a word. She was so regretful and cried desperately.
Lyra's face looked indifferent, "Claudia, you destroy the rest of your comfortable life with your own hands! Save all your strength in prison and spend the rest of your life there!"
After finishing her words sarcastically, she sent a message to Chad who was outside the villa.
Chad soon came in with Fifteen and took Claudia away, who was still in grief and crying uncontrollably.
