After divorce I am a billionaire

Lyra smiled and explained, "Just now Anne took the initiative to empty the fuel tank and tried to light the lighter to die with me. | stopped her when she did it." She pointed the lighter outside the cage, "That's the thing." Chad was angry, "She wants to kill you and still tries to struggle to play tricks. She's hopeless." Collin's eyes looked vicious, and he looked seriously at Paul and commanded in his hoarse but dignified voice, "Paul Hoare, open the cage." Paul gestured toward the bodyguard behind him, who immediately went to the opposite wall and pressed a switch. And the large cage slowly retracted to the ceiling.

Chad and the others walked over towards Lyra and Collin asked, "About mom's death, did Anne explain?" Lyra nodded, "It's all explained. It's all over. Chad, take her away. | want to investigate her crimes over the years." REST Lyra didn't want to linger any longer. She turned her head and left.

Anne, who was on the ground, gradually recovered from the lack of oxygen.

She looked at Lyra's back with hatred and venom in her eyes and sneered with strain, "Lyra Lloyd, just now you didn't dare to strangle me, but | dare to get you killed." Before the men Chad brought in came near, she pulled out a pistol that was hidden in advance from her body and quickly aimed it to Lyra, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

"Rara!" Collin was the quickest one to notice Anne's movement and the closest to Lyra. He almost subconsciously wrapped his arms around her and shielded her into his embrace.

Boom! With a gunshot, the bullet hit Collin in the back. Collin wrinkled his brows in pain, but firmly blocked the gun aimed at Lyra, shielding her from the gun and not letting go.

Anne was too late to fire a second shot before the soldiers Chad brought in quickly took control.

She looked at the blood on Collins back and curled her lips in relief, smiling in an enchanting but extraordinarily creepy way.

Collin was shot, and Lyra immediately checked on him, ordering Chad angrily, "Take Anne straight back to NIB." Even if Lyra did not command so, Chad will do so. Anne had shot Collin and nearly killed him. This was not a trivial matter.

But Lyra, in her rage, was still thinking clearly, "Bring Paul Hoare back to NIB with you." Paul was wronged, "Ms. Lloyd, | didn't fire. Anne did it. | didn't know the reason. It had nothing to do with me." Lyra sneered, "How did she get a gun for no reason? And how come | didn't know she could shoot and be so decisive? Paul Hoare, don't think you're going to get a clean break from this." Paul lowered his head to stare at her and stopped talking.

The soldiers immediately took out handcuffs for Anne and Paul.

Collin was shot and Kathleen was so distraught that she was crying, "Honey, are you okay? Should | call an ambulance?" Collin shook his head in pain, "No, the small injury is not fatal." Besides, they were on a small island off the coast with no ambulance.

Lyra examined the gunshot wound in his back, "Let's leave the island immediately. There is a medical kit in the car parked along the coast. Give him a simple first aid and then drive to the hospital.” Too much blood loss can be deadly. Lyra decisively tore her long dress and quickly helped Collin bandage the wound to barely stop the bleeding.

She and Kathleen assisted Collin to leave here and quickly left the island in a dinghy.

When they arrived at the coast, Chad was responsible for taking Anne and Paul back to NIB to be investigated, while Lyra and Kathleen took Collin and went to the hospital to get the bullet out.

Collin insisted on not being anesthetized, and was deaf to any persuasion from doctor and Kathleen.

Lyra, who was puzzled, asked seriously, "Are you really self-abusive?" Collin felt it bitter and forced to hold back the dryness in the throat. It was the first time he explained sincerely, "I hurt you before, caused you to almost get killed by Ethel several times. | am very guilty. | try many times to compensate. This time, I'm lucky to be able to block a gunshot for you. | feel much better, so | don't need anesthesia. Let me feel more pain to compensate. " Lyra was very speechless, "Are you out of your mind? Kathleen is here and sees you in pain. How heartbroken she should feel.

Why are you so selfish? Why don't you think about her?" Collin was instantly mute.

After being scolded by his sister, Collin obediently took the anesthetic.

After having his wound treated, he was assigned to an observation ward.

Kathleen found an excuse to go out and buy dinner herself, creating an opportunity for the two to be alone and talk.

In the ward, once Kathleen left, neither Lyra nor Collin spoke first.

The room was quiet for a long time, and even a hint of embarrassing feeling was hidden.

It took a long time for Collin to have the courage to take the lead in finding a topic to break the peace.

"Lyra, when you entered the villa alone with Anne, what exactly did she say? | saw strangling marks on her neck. You should have experienced a heated argument over the truth of mom's death?" Lyra was silent and thought for a while before saying, "Those are only Anne's one-sided words. There's no evidence to prove that what she said is true. We have to check it later on." But if what Anne said was true, it meant that Collin was also in the dark and was being played as a pawn by her.

Thinking that Anne's mother died because of him, Collin felt guilty for years and indulged Anne in everything in order to repay her kindness.

But he didn't realize that all these things started because Anne unplugged their mother's ventilator and killed her.

Anne clearly knew it all along, but deliberately used Collin’s guilt to try to achieve her various goals.

This woman was really malicious like a cold-blood animal.

Lyra mused, letting out a long sigh.

What would Collin's reaction be if he knew about this? But she hoped that what Anne said was false, that Anne was deliberately taking all the blame for whatever reason.

Otherwise, a little girl was as bad as a devil, which really shocked her tically.

Collin saw that she was too absorbed in her thoughts to tell him the truth, and did not ask more.

"Lyra, when we go back this time, should | continue with the previously twenty lashes and kneeling in the hall to read the scriptures?" Lyra stopped her complicated thoughts, "No need. At that time it was just to take the opportunity to fish out Anne's identity. Now things are almost settled.” Collin sat on the bed. With a gunshot wound in the back, he did not dare to lie down. He looked at his sister's face, tentatively trying to continue to ask, "Lyra, this time, my subconscious reaction at the moment of crisis is sincere. Can you ..." Can she forgive him? Lyra seemed to know what he wanted to ask and her tone was gentle, "Get well first. Don't think so much about anything else until you're better." Collin suppressed the bitterness inside his heart and nodded.

The two-hour observation period was up. Nothing was serious, and Lyra, along with Kathleen, helped Collin back to Anning Hill.

When things were pretty much taken care of, Lyra went to NIB.

About the serial killing case, Malcolm visited several crime sites to detect the scene situation, and found out the whole thing was illogical.

It turned out that the big news that brought Suham into the limelight in the end was a deliberate fake.

Malcolm was furious and asked for a thorough investigation to find out who was behind the fake.

Learning that Lyra had come to NIB, Malcolm greeted her personally at the door in a clean military uniform.

"Honey, | heard Collin took a bullet for you and was wounded. How is he doing?" "Fortunately, no vital injuries. | have sent him back to Anning Hill to recuperate.” Malcolm quietly listened to her. With his intuition, he helped Lyra analyze, "I think there's something wrong with this. The method Anne Windsor set you up is not cautious than any time before, especially she shot. | heard the shooting was very decisive.

Before this, it should not be the first time for her to use the gun. If she intentionally wants to shoot to kill you, how could internal organs are not even injured?"
