Lyra raised an eyebrow and sounded playful, "You can really help me vent my anger?"
Malcolm nuzzled her soft cheek and said righteously, "I have a miracle effect that works better than any expensive drug in the world. Rara, if you don't believe me, check it out for yourself."
He leaned in, kissed her red lips and rubbed them together.
The two kissed as they walked up the stairs.
Sophia came downstairs and saw that sweet scene in time. Hurriedly, she turned around and quietly went back.
Never disturb Mr. and Mrs. White!
With the bedroom door closed, the pleasant sounds were covered up.
In the evening, Lyra finally received an phone call from Keith.
When the call was answered, Lyra did not initiate the conversation.
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before she could hear his sound, "Rara, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Keith's voice sounded slightly weak because he hadn't eaten all day and night.
Lyra's tone rose, "You really have figured it out?"
Keith sounded very sincere, "I was impulsive. When the engagement was announced in public, it was a done deal. Even if I give 20% shares of the group to him, I'm afraid it's still difficult to let Shane agree."
Lyra breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to figure it out, so do you have any ideas after reflecting on it all day and night?"
"First find a way to meet Melissa and find out why she admitted her engagement in public. If she really has changed her heart, I won't bother anymore. And if it's true that Shane did something to her, I'll risk everything to take her away."
Lyra sighed. His ideas were not completely right, and the latter one was too impulsive.
"She is now the Callahan family's daughter. If you rashly take her away, are you going to elope? Shane will call police."
What was more, Shane himself was a sort of police officer and it wouldn't take too much time to catch him.
Keith stopped talking.
It was really hard for him to not to lose his sanity when it came to Melissa.
If Shane really did something to Melissa and hurt her, he would go crazy and try to shoot Shane in the head.
Both went quiet at the same time, and both seemed to be in deep thought.
After a minute, Lyra took the lead and said, "It's not good to discuss it on the phone. I'll get the soldiers withdraw. You can come here and we'll discuss it later."
"Great."
Half an hour later, Keith quickly arrived and knocked on the door.
Chad and Keira came along, and all five sat on the couch and helped discuss solutions.
But the living room fell into a long silence after they sat down. Everyone's expression was grim, and no one spoke first.
No one knew how long it took before Keira broke the peace.
"Lyra, it is really not easy to solve. Anyway, Melissa is now the Callahan family's daughter. Even if she is imprisoned and coerced by Shane, as long as he explains properly, we can hardly have a proper reason to get involved in the Callahan family's affairs and take away Melissa. And even let Melissa back out of the marriage contract with the Barker family."
Chad also said, "Now Shane uses the excuse that Melissa is sick. She doesn't even out of the door. All her jobs are stopped. I guess it is very difficult to see her."
After these words, the living room fell into a deathly silence again.
Malcolm said, "Shane is my subordinate. For his family business, it's not convenient to get involved. But if I can find a suitable excuse, I can let Chad lead a team of men to search the Callahan Residence and take an opportunity to meet Melissa."
With the identity of director of the National Investigation Bureau, things did work out much better.
