Collin and Kathleen were stunned at the same time.


    But Lyra was now, after all, the head of the Lloyd family, and it was no problem at all to stuff a friend into his cottage for a couple of days.


    It depends on Anne’s attitude.


    All three men turned their attention to Anne.


    With their gaze, Anne smiled simply and looked expectant, “Yes, I like the arrangement very much. Thank you for Mr. Collin and madam’s hospitality.”


    Collin remained silent. Since he chanted the scriptures for many days, his nature was much more quiet than before. He no longer had the bad temper before.


    Kathleen smiled politely, “Since you’re Lyra’s friend, and you’re willing to stay here, we will definitely do our best. Which hotel are your luggage in? I’ll arrange for a bodyguard to help you get itter.”


    “Thank you, madam.”


    Anne intimately moved closer to her direction and happily held her hands, “I don’t have a sister or brother. Madam, you make me feel so close, like a real sister-inw.”


    Kathleen smiled ufortably as she held her hands, “You’re wee. If you need anything these days, just let me know.”


    “Yes, thank you ma’am.”


    Lyra quietly listened to their conversation and sipped her third cup of tea.


    Her eyes were always fixed on Anne and her thoughts followed her.


    She was having tea but did not know the taste of it.


    While Anne focused on chatting with Kathleen, Lyra coldly spoke to Collin, “These days, your punishment is moved forward to the afternoon, but the whipping will be exempted. Go to the hall to kneel and read the scriptures are considered to cultivate your mind.”


    Collin was stunned.


    His punishment was ordered to stop by Lyra a long time ago.


    What did it mean that Lyra volunteered to continue to punish him this time?


    He didn’t think about what she wanted for the moment, but felt hurtful by the cold attitude of her every word.


    “Okay, it’s all up to you.”


    Lyra coldly looked at the time, “it’s afternoon. Are you still not going to the hall to execute?”


    Collin immediately got up. His back was stiffened, and he left the vi without looking back.


    The Lloyd Manor’s hall was built in Reginald’s vi, and Collin had to go there.


    Seeing him go out, Anne followed to get up, “Where is he going?”


    Lyra coldly replied, “He is going to be punished. It’s the Lloyd family’s business. Miss Windsor, you don’t have to follow her. Let Kathleen stay with you more these two days. I will go over to see.”


    She finished her words, got up and left the vi.


    When she came out of the vi, Lyra asked Dous, the butler who stayed at Reginald’s vi, to a quiet corner to talk alone.


    “What do you have to say?”


    Lyra pointed to the hall and arranged calmly, “Please quietly keep an eye on the hall. As long as Collin read the scriptures, you keep watch outside. If there is someone other than Kathleening over, immediately call me and report clearly word by word.”


    “Yes Miss, don’t worry.”


    “Hmm.” Lyra cautioned, “Don’t do it too obviously. Try not to get caught by the others.”


    “Yes.”


    After the arrangement, Lyra turned to leave, and when she passed by the hall, she deliberately stopped for a moment.


    Inside, Collin’s hoarse chanting voice could clearly reach her ears.


    She couldn’t say what feelings she had. It was a bitplicated, and after listening quietly for a while, she turned to leave.


    When she brought Anne over today, she watched Anne’s expression all the way.


    Nothing seemed to be exposed, but when she thought about it, it was all weak point.


    Anne was particrly attentive to Collin, and although she was friendly and close to Kathleen, she was not at all as concerned as she was about Collin.


    And just now she said “sister-inw”. Why not sister and brother-inw?


    These, however, were only Lyra’s guesses.


    Since she lived in Anning Hill and if Anne was really Ethel, how can she be willing to do nothing about it?


    She hoped that these days, Anne would not disappoint her expectations.


    Being resentful, she drove away from Anning Hill. It was still early and she went back to the Lloyd’s Corp.


    During this time, the Lloyd’s Corp had sessfully opened up international market because of its project with Duowiehl Group, and the stock and revenue were both on the rise.N?velDrama.Org content.


    The reputation of the Lloyd’s Corp will also gradually be known abroad.


    In addition to this, for the domestic market, she intended to invest in the e-sports.


    In the afternoon, she wanted to go on a field trip to the bases of the famous teams. Thinking that Melissa had been tortured by the examinations recently, she was afraid that she had long wanted to sneak out to y outside.


    She called Melissa and asked her toe out and visit the game base together.


    Melissa learned the news and was so happy that she almost jumped up. She asked the bodyguard to send her to the location sent by Lyra.


    By the time she hurried to the base of a game club, Lyra was already standing at the door waiting for her.


    “You are finally here. Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the professional ying the game.”


    Melissa was looking forward to it. Her simple and good-looking eyes were staring around as if she was a curious baby.


    For the gaming industry, professional yers who were more than 20 years old were considered old so most of them were teenagers aged around 17 or 18 years old.


    When Lyra and Melissa went in to visit, the yers of this gaming club were ying a training match with members from another team.


    They were here just in time to watch the game.


    The yers were also in good shape today, having won eight out of ten in the training matches.


    Lyra and Melissa had a great time watching the training match, and after it was over, Lyra went to deal with the founder of the team alone.


    “Ms. Lloyd, as you can see, the current group of boys in our team are all neers. The team has just been built, but the yers are the top professional ones in China. The club reallycks investment at the moment, and the yers alsock of media exposure. If you’re willing to invest, we will not fail to meet your expectations. This year’s goal is the global champion.”


    Lyra was not short of money and only considered the club’s ethos.


    But today’s field trip was more than satisfactory for her overall.


    The yers will encourage and cheer each other when they lose. Even if they were ying training matches, they will be happy together when they won, which formed a great atmosphere.


    Lyra made somements about the food, amodation and daily training of the yers.


    There was one more thing she had to do before she was sure to sign the investment contract.


    She called Melissa in, who was outside learning techniques from the pros.


    “Melissa, you love this game. It’s your interest. If you are toe to this team as a manager, would that work?”


    Melissa was pleasantly surprised.


    “Did I hear you right? Lyra, you’re sort of introducing me to a job?”


    Lyra stroked her head, “Sort of.” Seeing her stay at the vi all day with nothing to do, she looked silly bored. Lyra thought she needed to find something to do.


    Melissa loved the club and decisively agreed, “I want to try it and I will definitely try to do it well.”


    Lyra added, “First, don’t rush to be happy. Your exam is your goal and you have to work hard toplete it. For e-sports, the working time is basically from afternoon to evening. You can prepare for the exam in daytime. After work in the evening, you cane back home and let Keith tutor you. It will be very busy but it can enrich your life. Can you do it?”
