The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 964 The Stupidest Way

Mavis changed the mobile phone number and threw away the previous address book.

She held that little card in her hand for a long time, and struggled in her heart for a long time.

In the end, Mavis broke the card and threw it into a stream, letting the memory carrying the card wash away together.

She only left a few phone numbers of people close to her, especially Lyra's contact information. If Mavis didn't contact her, she would be worried.

And Spencer and Molly.

After Mavis cleaned up here, she went to call Lyra.

"Lyra."

Lyra thought she had heard it wrong, and looked at the caller ID again to confirm that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Why did you change your number? I thought it was a partner."

Mavis giggled.

"The previous number was not coherent at all. I decided to change it. Look at this... 56789. It sounds so smooth."

Lyra faintly felt that something was wrong, but when she heard that she was in good condition, she didn't think too much about it.

"Why do you call me when you are free? But you don't seem to be very busy recently? Is there a problem with the operation of Callahan Group?"

Mavis froze for a moment. She really hadn't thought about how to solve this problem, so she could only prevaricate vaguely.

"No, Zack is doing a lot of work recently. I'm pregnant and I want to have more time to rest. What about you? Every call is in a hurry, and I haven't asked how you are."

"It's still the same."

Lyra smiled helplessly, "It's just that the focus is more on the family. I used to ignore Spencer and Molly, but now I care about children's education."

Mavis smirked. "You know that's not what I want to ask."

"You are pregnant, so be careful not to let the child in your stomach hear it. Okay, I won't talk about it. I will see a partner in a while. Remember to take good care of yourself. I will go back to see you in a while."

What?

Mavis's eyes widened in shock when she heard the words. She can't go to see her in the Callahan family now.

She wanted to stop her in a hurry, but Lyra hung up the phone and didn't say anything. Mavis was nervous for a while.

Mavis gradually calmed down.

It will take a while for Lyra to go back, so she could go to see her in advance.

Jaqueline had just explained the current situation of Callahan Group to her adoptive father, but she was tempted by a significant cooperation that Callahan Group was about to take over recently. Most of the documents she stole involved small amounts, and it was the important projects that really made people jealous.

When Jaqueline received the news of stealing documents again, she was about to collapse.

Without further ado, she called back.

The other end answered quickly, but at the same time asked her, "Are you dissatisfied with this action? You can only listen. When will it be your turn to be dissatisfied?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. It's that my actions are easy to be discovered now. We've earned a lot from the Callahan Group. No matter how big the fish is, it will always be discovered if keep doing it." The subordinate couldn't explain it to her, so the man in the dark took the initiative to take the phone and said sullenly, "Jaqueline, I raised you. When it's time for you to repay, how dare you refuse?"

"But I..."

"Aren't you unwilling to take the documents? Okay, this time, there is a batch of things in Harttown Bay, and you are responsible for escorting them. I want to see, besides being able to take documents, what other skills do you have? Within three days, come back and escort."

The attitude on the other side was firm. Jaqueline refused to steal the documents, and if she refused to escort the goods, relying on her adoptive father's stubborn character, he would definitely do something extreme to hurt the Callahan family and her.

Jaqueline was selfish and didn't want to see Anthony get hurt.

But with such an excessive request, Jaqueline cannot guarantee whether she can escape unscathed.

She looked at the surrounding environment with complicated emotions.

This was the residence that Anthony specially arranged for herself. Jaqueline had never been so cherished by others. She felt that Anthony was the only person in the world who treated her well.

So, she didn't want Anthony to see the dark and embarrassing scenes.

"What if I don't agree?"

Her adoptive father did not speak for a long time.

"Jaqueline, I think you are getting bolder now."

Jaqueline didn't answer, but hung up the phone angrily, lying on the pillow and crying uncontrollably.

She really regretted why she was not an innocent girl.

She didn't want to be rich, but just wanted to be an ordinary person who didn't have so much darkness, so that she can be with Anthony.

Refusing her adoptive father's excessive request, Jaqueline was ready to be punished, and couldn't imagine what she was about to face.

But she never expected that his revenge would come so quickly.

It was a bit remote for Jaqueline to talk about a project.

From the start to halfway, she always felt that there was a car following her behind her, and she always looked back from time to time due to her special status.

Just when the car was about to reach the mountain area, the black car suddenly rushed forward and stopped her car directly.

The driver was terrified, and a familiar man got out of the black car.

It was one of her adoptive father's men that Jaqueline had seen before.

She stared at the man firmly, without squinting.

The man shook his wrist and knocked on the car window. Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Jaqueline had to roll it down.

"Guess what I come to see you for?"

Jaqueline hated him, so she could only stare at him, but it was too late, and before she could see what was going on, he took out a handkerchief and covered Jaqueline's mouth directly.

The driver in the front row was frightened. He wanted to run, but his legs were shaking all the time. This group of people did not seem to be good at first sight.

Soon, the man found him and ordered, "Take him away too, so as not to spoil my good deed."

After speaking, the driver was also stunned and dragged into the car together.

By the time Jaqueline opened her eyes again, she had returned to a familiar place.

She was tied to a bed. Her clothes were disheveled and her legs could not move.

Her adoptive father put on his clothes slowly.

Jaqueline had experienced it many times, and understood what happened before she woke up. "Let me go!"

She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the rope.

But the old man on the opposite side looked down on her, and rubbed her chin with his big palm.

"Why are you disobedient? You have many ways to get rid of me, but you choose the stupidest one." Jaqueline glared at him.

"If you have something to say, just say it. After all, I work for you. What's the matter when you tie me up like this?" The man laughed when he heard this.

"Heh, you are really good at it, and now you dare talk back to me directly."

When this man just finished speaking, there was a snap sound.

With the crisp sound, half of Jaqueline's face gradually swelled up. She turned her head to the side and said nothing.
