Chapter 72 You Push Keith out with Your Own Hands
“What did they say?”
Keith frowned and waited with interest for his answer.
“Mr. Frazier has confined Miss Frazier. She is not allowed to come out without his order.” The butler replied respectfully.
Keith grunted: “Good, so she can no longer come to Frayton to make trouble. My ears will finally be clear for a while.”
He waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave, while he himself continued to stare at the closed door of the room.
Suham, the Frazier’s residence.
Irene went into a frenzy in her room.
“This is too much for Dad! How can he lock me in my room and not even let me out this door!”
A maid timidly approached her and comforted her in a soft voice, “Miss, don’t be too sad. It’s just a grounding. You can stay at home in peace for a while and it will be over.”
“What do you know? Get the hell out of here!”
Irene pulled out all the flowers from a vase and threw them at the maid, “Get out! Don’t give me any trouble here!”
As if she didn’t feel relieved enough, she grabbed the vase again and slammed it on the ground hard.
“Miss, you can’t do that! This is a crystal vase. Madam brought back from Fospona. It’s worth a lot of money. You can’t drop it!”
The maid looked at the vase that had been broken off by a corner and was very distressed, but did not dare to easily go forward to stop it.
“All these things are my family’s. I can drop them as I want! How dare you, a maid, tell me what to do? If you dare to talk too much again, I’ll pull out your tongue!”
She pushed all the cosmetics off the table again, and there was a crackling and crunching sound on the floor that was very harsh.
The maid knew that any further persuasion would be self-defeating, so she simply shut her mouth, closed the door and left.
Mr. Frazier and Mrs. Frazier naturally heard Irene’s rant upstairs, and Mr. Frazier grimaced and threw his cigarette into an ashtray.
“Look at the good daughter you’ve taught!”
“What kind of words are you saying?”
Mrs. Frazier was displeased, “Is she not your daughter? You want to get rid of your responsibility?”
“If you hadn’t been spoiling her, would she have become like this? This time, Keith wants to withdraw from the engagement. No matter how grovelling I am, he won’t let go. If we let her continue to act arbitrarily, the Frazier family will have to fall into her hands!” Mr. Frazier’s face was full of anger.
“You!”
Mrs. Frazier was just about to sass back when Garrett Frazier, who had come down from upstairs, saw that the atmosphere was not good and came out to make a comeback.
“Dad, Mom, Irene was confined. It’s normal to be in a bad mood, so it’s good to let her vent!”
“That’s not the way! Listen, if she keeps doing it like this, all those world-class treasures at home will be gone in a moment!”
Mr. Frazier pointed upstairs and sighed repeatedly with a look of hatred.
The sound of smashing things was still faintly audible, and Garrett pondered for a moment before deciding to go upstairs and comfort her himself.
Upstairs, Irene was holding an antique decorative plate and was about to smash it on the floor.
“Who pissed off our Miss Irene so much?” Garrett took the plate from her hand and pulled her down on the couch, “Anger hurts your health. Just stop it and get over it.”
“Garrett!”
Irene pulled his arm aggrievedly, “Just for a divorced woman, Keith actually wants to back out of the marriage with me!”
Garrett pinched her face.
“I’m afraid it’s not as simple as that, right? I know you very well.”
“Since that woman’s divorce, Keith has been letting her live in the villa and treating her so tenderly and considerately. How do you expect me to endure this!?”
With an indignant look on her face, Irene continued.
“Brother, I know you love me the most since I was little. Help me get rid of Lyra, okay!?” She shook his arm and pouted, “Can you tolerate and watch your sister’s favorite man being snatched away by another woman?”
Garrett, however, paused and his hands pressed down on Irene’s shoulders, “Irene, say again, what is that woman’s name?”
Irene was a bit puzzled, but still said it again, “Lyra, an orphan from Frayton orphanage. What qualification does she have to steal from me? Garrett, do you know her?”
Lyra …
The name was too familiar.
Could it be her?
But how can she be an orphan …?
Garrett let go and turned to digest her words, with suspicion rising in his mind.
“Garrett, what’s wrong with you?”
Irene noticed his abnormality and asked suspiciously.
“This Lyra, do you have a picture of her?”
“She was in the hot news some time ago. I guess there are pictures of her face online. You don’t know?”
Garrett shook his head.
He didn’t like to pay attention to internet gossip, but what Irene said was not heard at all in Suham. It looked like the news was blocked by the order of several big families.
Could it be the Lloyd family?
But why would the Lloyd family want to block Suham’s information about this woman?
The doubts and speculations in his mind grew deeper and deeper.
Irene sat down on a couch, puffed up.
She took out her phone, found out a photo of Lyra that she had taken, and handed it to Garrett’s eyes.
“Garrett, you must help me. As long as this bitch is dead, no one will steal Keith from me …”
Irene was still chattering away, but Garrett was looking at the photos on her phone, and his peachy eyes were filled with excitement.
“Garrett? Did you hear me?!”
Irene’s roar interrupted his trance.
“So, you just want her to die?”
“Yes!” Irene was firm.
Garrett knocked her on the head with a look of hatred.
“What am I supposed to scold you? The more you target her, the more you are personally pushing Keith out!”
“Garrett, what do you mean?”
Irene avoided his hand and was very upset.
Garrett was exasperated by her, “You’re getting his only real sister killed. Do you think he’ll not alienate you and hate you?”
“What?! Sister!”
Irene was shocked beyond words.
Lyra was Keith’s sister? How was this possible!?
“Didn’t the Lloyd family announce the death of their youngest daughter six years ago? Although I’ve never met her, I’ve checked Lyra’s background and she’s clearly an orphan!”
Garrett sighed, “With the Lloyd family’s power, with the intention of not wanting people to investigate, how you can possibly find it out? As for why the Lloyd family did it, perhaps, to protect her.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
But in a few minutes, Garrett had it all probably straightened out.
Irene froze in place, and was already shocked to the point of losing her words.
Garrett swept a glance at the room she had cluttered, “If you still want to keep this engagement with Keith, don’t even think about killing her. In the meantime, you stay home and think about how to apologize to them.”
He patted Irene on the shoulder and left her bedroom.
When Lyra disappeared six years ago and the Lloyd family announced her death, he was devastated for a time.
Later on, although he was also arranged by his parents, explicitly or implicitly, with a number of high-class celebrities, he could never forget her.
Now that he knew that she was alive and well, and she was in Frayton, he can’t wait to get his wings and fly to her.
After Garrett left, Irene was still stunned to the spot and took a long time to come back to her senses.
Everything she didn’t understand, now had an explanation.
Why did Lyra have dinner with Keith in his office? Why did Keith take good care of her? Why did Lyra take the position of Director of Brokerage as soon as she arrived at Angle Group … ?
Then she, wouldn’t she have almost harmed her future sister-in-law?
