The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 443

In the business party.

It was held at CloudTop Hotel, the highest hotel in Suham. And it was on the 98th floor.

All the people who came were the big names in business community of the Suham.

Lyra and Malcolm entered arm in arm just as Shane, with Melissa in tow, came out of the elevator at the other end.

The two sides met right at the door.

Malcolm, after all, was Shane's boss at the National Investigation Bureau.

Shane saw him and bent over extremely respectfully and politely, "Good evening, Mr. Malcolm."

Malcolm nodded his head coldly and proudly in response.

As soon as Melissa saw Lyra, she tried to run up to her, but Shane pulled her back just in time.

"Melissa, there are so many people watching. Mind your manners."

Her wish to have a private conversation with Lyra fell through, and she could only lower her head in sullenness.

Seeing this, Lyra released her hold on Malcolm's arm and took the lead, pulling Melissa with her and looking at Shane with a slight apology.

"Mr. Shane, I would like to borrow Melissa for a few minutes to accompany me to the restroom. You're generous and won't even disagree for a few minutes, right?"

Shane's eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at Malcolm twice, and quickly smiled and responded, "Of course, you ask me for her. How could I not agree?"

With his words, Lyra directly pulled Melissa away.

Two men were left waiting at the entrance door.

It wasn't until they were far away from the two men that Lyra asked, "Why are you here with Shane? You went back to the Callahan family?"

Melissa nodded, "Yes, after thinking about it for a long time, I still felt like coming back to try to fit in with the Callahan family. After all, this is what I should have endured."

Lyra patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "It's good to be back. You're the daughter of the Callahan family. It was a strange combination of circumstances that you suffered a lot in the past. You will not be alone in the future. You got many siblings."

Melissa's face didn't look good when she mentioned the siblings.

Thinking about her mother, Caitlin, she grabbed Lyra's hand.

"In the past few days, I found that there is something wrong with the family. The day my mother went to have lunch with us, I saw red marks on her wrists. They are injuries obviously."

"The next two days, because Shane did not come back home, I never saw my mother. But she probably did not want to see me. She treated me with indifference. Only when she's in front of Shane, is she polite to me like a stranger."

"Lyra, there are so many things about the Callahan family that are strange. And my cell phone was taken away by Shane with an excuse two days ago. Tell Keith for me about these things. He will know and check it out for me."

Lyra listened carefully and patted the back of her hand again, "Don't worry. I'll tell Keith everything about this."

But Lyra felt puzzled.

"Now that Shane is the head of Callahan family. He's Caitlin's son. For what reason will Shane allow his mother to carry a wound on her body?"

Melissa pondered for a moment and shook her head, "The penthouse where my mother lives is always locked at night, so I'm going to wait until Shane lets his guard down and then go up and try to find out what's going on."

"Then you must be careful."

"Hmm."

The two exchanged a few more words and went back keeping their countenances.

Malcolm and Shane were still at the door, waiting for their respective female companions.

Shane was the first to break the silence, "Mr. Malcolm, you're so blessed now. You have a lovely wife and two adorable babies. And your career has not suffered any loss."
