The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 96

For the thing happened in the Freeman Manor last time, Sheila was still haunted.

Originally, she didn't think she would lose, which was why she was so arrogant in the bet.

Now that she really lost, she was just starting to get scared.

Because last time, they were at the Freeman Manor after all, the disgrace was only known by the servants who had signed a gag agreement.

If she was unhappy, she can just take it out on the servants. Who dared to discuss her disgrace?

But this time, if she had to kneel and kowtow to the bitch in front of so many outsiders, how would she be able to present in upper circles in the future?

It was impossible to kneel!

She hid behind Fiona and argued reluctantly, "It's just a joke. Why are you so serious!?"

Cody had his arms crossed and said sarcastically, "When you lose a bet, you make a scene. I didn't think the Freeman family is a bunch of cheeky things."

Fiona was puzzled.

After asking Sheila about what happened, she learned about the bet with Lyra and tried to muddle through with kind words.

"Lyra, be merciful. She is still young. How can a child's joke be valid? Besides, in front of so many people, how will others see her in the future?"

Lyra smiled and asked, "If I lose, will you let go the opportunity to humiliate me?"

Of course they would not!

Since this bitch got divorced and didn't take her seriously as her former mother-in-law, Fiona was desperate of fixing her!

But Fiona couldn't say that frankly.

She smiled gently and just opened her mouth, but was stopped by Sheila.

"How can this be the same? I'm the daughter of the Freeman family! Of course my reputation is more important than yours!"

After these words, Lyra completely turned grim.

"If you dare to make a bet, you have to be willing to admit defeat. Mrs. Fiona, you always talk about her being a child. Are you forgetting that Ms. Sheila is an adult and she is responsible for what she says!?"

Jackie said so and came down from the stage.

She stepped forward and continued to help Lyra, "If Ms. Sheila doesn't keep her bet and tries to make a scene, I'm afraid her reputation in upper circles will not be any better in the future."

"It's none of your business!"

Sheila held Fiona's arm and glared at her indignantly.

Fiona looked at Jackie and Lyra back and forth, and was suspicious, "Miss Jackie, you come up and help her out, so you seem to have known her for a long time, huh?"

"It's just a matter of fact."

Jackie didn't look at Lyra, and both of them looked like strangers to each others.

Fiona looked the two back and forth again without further thought.

Sheila, however, blew up.

"I don't care! The bet just now is not valid! I won't bow down to you bitch!"

After she finished her words, she was going to push Cody away from the venue no matter what she was saying.

Coldness flashed in Lyra's eyes, "That's not up to you."

As soon as Lyra said so, Sheila had a bad feeling, when the back of her knees hurt suddenly and something hit her.

"Oops!"

She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up but lunged forward, throwing herself on the ground in front of Lyra's heels.

Cody and Jackie laughed out loud on the spot.

This posture was shamed enough!

If she had the sense to kneel and kowtow on her own, she may not be in such a mess.

Lyra looked down on Sheila who was at her feet from above, and smiled, "Good girl, so obedient. Next time you should remember, do not make a bet casually."

Sheila tried to get up from the ground, but her knees hurt so much that she couldn't put any effort into them, and when her hands slipped accidentally, she fell to her knees again.

Cody almost had a smile cramp on his face.

Unfortunately, at this moment all the participants were almost gone, and only a few people saw Sheila's ugly facial expression.

As they dared not offend the Freeman family, they only dared to cover their mouths and snicker.
