The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 565

Collin's expression was miserable and his eyes looked dark with sarcasm.

But he was satirizing himself.

"Answer me. You always know the rules so well. Don't you know that when the head of the family asks a question, you have to answer honestly?"

Lyra pinched his jaw and looked at him. Her beautiful eyes looked domineering.

Collin did not speak, but recalled Anne's words before she left.

He said, "She said she's afraid you won't let me off the hook if she speaks up for me today. So she was asking me if I consider standing with her on a united front?"

Before Anne came here, she should have expected Lyra would come as well, so she deliberately said those words to intensify their already fragile kinship.

Thinking resentfully, he frowned and hid the pain, never saying a word.

"It's good for you. There is not a word of truth. It seems you choose to help her?"

Lyra's chest rose with anger. She was breathing deeply, straightening her slender waist and loosening the shackle on his jaw.

She had a contemptuous smile, "You are really her good brother. Whenever it comes to her, you protect her to the end."

"Collin, if one day Ethel and I are both being held at gunpoint and you have a gun in your hand but only one bullet. And you could only save one person. Would you save her or me?"

Collin reddened his eyes, noticed her chilling expression on her face and reached out to grab her hand, "Rara ..."

When he reached his hand out, Lyra took a step back.

The small coffee table between the two was like the wall that spanned between them, which was difficult to cross.

"For Anne's identity, I am bound to seek proof to the end. If you stop me, don't blame me for disregarding the last kinship, and fixing her together with you."

After her harsh words, Lyra turned around and left.

"Rara ...Lyra, listen to me."

Collin held his knees and tried to get up to stop her, but his legs hurt so badly that he took a long time to bear the pain.

With his hoarse voice and pitiful expression, he looked like he was helpless after being abused and distrusted.

He was no longer the unbeatable and spirited first captain Collin.

Lyra was touched slightly, stopped and turned back to stare at him coldly, "I'll only listen to your explanation this once."

The opportunity was given so it was up to him whether he could grasp it.

Collin stared at her stunning but indifferent face from a distance, carefully helping her analyze the pros and cons.

"Ethel's supporters were me and dad once upon a time. Now that dad was dead and I'm suspended and idle at home, she has no backers and can be at your mercy."

"But Anne is different, Paul Hoare is at least the Earl of Owhil. Behind him is entire nobility. If you are too serious about Anne's identity, Paul Hoare will feel offended and Lloyd's Corp can be at crisis. I don't want to see you offend him in order to get no evidence of the investigation."

He was just afraid that Lyra would get into trouble and be in danger, and he was worried about her.

Lyra raised her chin proudly and her gaze was disdainful.

"What I am not afraid of is offending people. Some years ago, I did my own thing in a disciplined manner, but there were still people who wanted to put me to death three or four times. Even my own brother helped to conceal the truth. What else do I have to fear?"

The only way to really fix the villain who was secretly making trouble was to be strong. No one else can be relied on, not even the closest relatives.

When they were looking at each other, Lyra sneered.

Collin paled little by little. Even his backbone was stiff.

He had a bitter taste in his throat, but could not explain, and could only lower his head in defeat and listen to Lyra's mentioning of the past things.

"If you are sincerely repentant and apologize, you should be more peaceful, help me answer the confusion and confirm early Anne's true identity. Don't persuade me to let her go. You know my temper. For what I want to do, I will not rest until I get the answer."

With the last words to express her position, she turned to leave the hall without looking back.
