The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 793

She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'm annoying?"

Lucie was taken aback, then patted her hand again, signaling her not to think too much, "How could I? my life is much more interesting when you're around. It's just..."

It seemed a little hard to say. Lucie thought for a while before saying, "I just think my place is too shabby and simple, and a rich lady like you should not live here. You'll feel uncomfortable."

Lyra smiled, "I don't feel uncomfortable. Last time you said that your husband and son have gone to the city to earn money, and they only come back once a year for the holidays. I want to spend more time with you."

After chatting with her, Lucie was obviously less nervous, "Lyra, you are so kind."

With a smile on her face, Lyra continued to ask tentatively, "Before saving me, you live here by yourself most of the time. Wouldn't you really feel lonely? If you want, you can come with me, and I will take you into the city and find your husband and son."

Lucie barely considered her proposal and shook her head decisively.

"This is where my origin is. They leave and I will guard this mountain for them."

"But... there were gunshots in the mountains today, and it's not safe here anymore." Lyra asked worriedly.

Lucie still shook her head persistently, and said nothing more this time, "Just leave me alone. Even if I die, I will die here."

Lyra didn't ask any more questions.

Thinking of the gold she saw under the mud floor in the back room, her eyes darkened.

Outside the yard of the house, Malcolm actually didn't leave.

The broken house was not very soundproof, and he can clearly hear the communication between Lyra and Lucie outside.

A woman, or a village woman with little skill, will really have no problem living alone in such a remote place all year round?

He frowned deeply, planning to take the opportunity to go into the back room to see if there were any photos of Lucie's husband and son.

He was guarding the yard, and soon heard another gunshot.

It was farther away, coming from down the mountain, but the sound was still very clear.

Immediately afterwards, Malcolm received a call from Chad, "Bro, I found a man who hid in the woods and shot. When Anthony and I rushed over, he just took off his sniper rifle and was about to run away. We chased him all the way down the mountain. I made the gunshot just now, and it hit the man in the leg. He slowed down just as he was surrounded by the men Brad had brought to seal the mountain."

Chad was always at ease in handling affairs, and Malcolm didn't show any special expression, "Okay, take him to the helicopter and send him back to the bureau for interrogation as soon as possible to avoid accidents."

"Clear."

After hanging up the phone, Malcolm called Brad and asked about the situation of investigation.

"Boss, we took the helicopter to the next mountain to land early in the morning. After sealing the mountain, we have not seen anyone going up the mountain during this time. That person should have been hiding in the mountain for a long time. For how long, I'm afraid we won't know until after the interrogation."

"Continue to search the mountain, even if it is a mouse, you can't let it go."

"Boss, don't worry."

"Tell me where the helicopter is. I'm going to take Rara out of here."

After listening to Brad's accurate report, Malcolm hung up the phone.

Squeak—

The door of the house slowly opened from the outside, and the iron buckle of the door panel that had been in disrepair made a harsh sound.

Lucie, who was inside, ran to the door almost immediately.

"Mr. White, what's going on? Anyone caught?"

Malcolm nodded.

It meant they had caught the sniper.

Lucie lowered her head and took a long breath, "That's good, that's good. Since this is the case, then we can live normally without fear? It's almost noon, everyone has to eat lunch."

Malcolm looked at her calmly, "Lucie, you don't want to ask me what confession was made by the man who hid in the dark and shot?"

Lucie was taken aback, squeezed her hands under the coarse clothes, and then let go, "What did he say?"

The corners of Malcolm's lips twitched slightly, "I don't know yet. The result will come out only after he's sent to NIB for interrogation, but it should be soon."
