The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 474

It was an uneventful night.

For Callahan Residence, it was even more sleepless.

Rebecca ran away to her mother Caitlin's relatives' house and her cell phone was turned off and disconnected.

After Lyra and the others left, Shane instructed his bodyguard to find Rebecca as soon as possible.

Five hours later in the early morning, Rebecca was carried back from a relative's house by the bodyguard and thrown straight into the hall.

"Ouch! Be gentle. You want to drop me to death?"

She rubbed her sore bottom and accused the bodyguard angrily.

The bodyguard bowed politely towards her, said nothing, turned around and left the hall.

There was a loud bang and the door to the hall was heavily shut, making Rebecca shudder.

In the darkness, the hall flickered with candlelight and occasionally a few gusts of gusty wind blew over. Rebecca gulped with a guilty conscience and stood up from the floor.

"Kneel down."

Behind her, she could a man's cold and piercing command.

At the sound of this voice, Rebecca's body shivered with fear, which was subconscious.

She turned around woodenly and saw Shane standing in front of the Callahan family's ancestral photos. His face looked grim and appalling, and he was holding an even more appalling cane.

The cane looked smooth but tough. Obviously it was taken out, soaked in water deliberately and specially prepared for her.

She was scared to death and walked up stiffly. Then she bent her knees, knelt on the futon and laughed dryly.

"Shane, this is too scary. What did I do wrong? You even have the cane ready."

Shane tightly pursed his lips. His gloomy face looked like a ghost, which was fierce and cold.

"Shane, calm down. My skin is delicate and can't afford the cane. You've never beaten me before, so take it easy."

She bit her lip in grievance and pretended to be pitiful.

Shane walked up to her and looked down at her. He opened his mouth and asked her coldly as if to interrogate a prisoner.

"I ask you a question and you answer me. If you dare to lie, I'll beat you."

Rebecca paled and shook his head, "I dare not. Shane, feel free to ask. I absolutely do not lie."

"Tonight, why did you go out and hide?"

She paused, remembered Lyra's words of advice during the day, and played dumb.

"I didn't go out to hide. Why would you think that? It was Rose, from my aunt's house, who called me over to visit her. I usually do that."

"I didn't plan to come back tonight. Who knew you'd send someone to arrest me. I've often stayed over at my aunt's house before. Why scare me with a cane?"

Shane's eyes narrowed slightly. He observed her expression and continued to ask, "Do you have Lyra's earrings?"

Rebecca's mind boggled at the question, reminding herself over and over again to answer as Lyra had taught her.

Otherwise, tonight, she was afraid it would be difficult to pass the test.

Thinking about it, she looked up with an innocent look. And she pretended to be confused, "Yes, they're here with me. What's wrong with that?"
