Chapter 976 What did I do wrong?
"Mavis, don't care about us. You have to take care of yourself. If Anthony makes you angry again, just
tell me. It's not like before. You're pregnant."
There was a sudden silence on the other end.
Immediately afterwards, Mavis agreed, sounding very happy.
On the other end of the phone, Malcolm heard everything but remained silent.
Lyra winked to Malcolm and asked him to go to the study to get the documents.
But Malcolm went directly to her, leaned lazily on the sofa, and said childishly, "Lyra, get it yourself. You
just chat when I walk in, and ignore me. And now you're asking me to help you with your work."
Lyra glared at him. Why was he acting petty?
It was really difficult to deal with him.
She was in a good mood now and didn't want to argue with Malcolm, so she went to the study to find
the documents by herself.
Taking advantage of Lyra's departure, Malcolm suddenly spoke to the phone.
"Mavis, I went to the Callahan family the other day."
Mavis on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and asked a little nervously, "Is
something wrong with Anthony?"
"There's nothing wrong with him. It's just a little injury, an attack."
"He... how could..."
"You're not with him now?"
Before Mavis could finish speaking, Malcolm interrupted her directly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Mavis reacted instantly. "I... I'm not in the Callahan family. I want to go out for a walk... just me..."
"Mavis, you can fool Lyra, but you can't fool me. What's going on with Anthony?"
Just when she was about to speak, Lyra came in and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking
about?"
Malcolm chuckled. "Talk a little about your recent routine."
"My routine?"
"Yes, Lyra has been working too hard recently, and she has lost a little weight. It makes me feel
distressed to see it."
Lyra touched her cheek. Did she lose weight?
Why didn't she feel it?
Turning her head, she wanted to make a video call with Mavis, "Mavis, I haven't seen you for a long
time. Would you like to see if I've lost weight?"
Upon hearing this, Mavis hurriedly said, "Well, Lyra, I still have something to do here. Bye bye."
With that said, the phone was hung up.
Lyra felt strange and didn't ask any more questions, but just glanced at the man next to her with a little
curiosity.
Obviously Mavis was still chatting with him just now, so why did she hang up?
Women's intuition was the most accurate.
She always felt that these two people seemed to be hiding something from her.
In the evening, when Lyra finished her work, Malcolm put his arms around her slender waist from
behind and rubbed her neck before asking, "Guess where did I go on a mission yesterday?"
Lyra glanced at him strangely, "You are on a mission, so how do I know where you are going?"
Malcolm pinched her ears, "Lyra, you're not cute at all."
Lyra felt still a little strange about what happened during the day today, and when she heard this, she
replied, "There are times when I'm cute, but you have no chance."
Malcolm's face turned pale, and his tone softened, "Babe, what's wrong? Do you want to punish me?"
"You are fine."
With the serious expression and voice, "fine" obviously means bad.
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Malcolm probably guessed what she was thinking, and said
directly to her, "Do you think Mavis is weird recently? In fact, I went to the Callahan family a few days
ago."
Lyra immediately raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
"How is Mavis doing now?"
"I didn't see her. I went to find Jaqueline, and Anthony wasn't there. I finally found him at the South Sea
port. Moreover, Jaqueline was dead."
Lyra was slightly shocked.
This happened so suddenly. How could she die suddenly?
"Is Mavis all right?"
"Not sure."
"What about Anthony?"
"I can't tell."
Lyra was speechless.
Malcolm was obviously playing tricks, and Lyra couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this, and turned
around and pinched the soft flesh of his cheek.
"Can you speak well? Finish it! If you beat around the bush, I will tear you up directly."
Malcolm was professionally trained and could resist easily, but resisting his wife's "caress" was
impossible.
He deliberately gave way to Lyra who knew that he would not fight back. The hand that pinched his
cheek turned into rubbing, and her eyes softened.
When he was holding his wife's slender waist, and being pinched by his wife, Malcolm's Adam's apple
slipped up and down, and his eyes gradually became deep.
Lyra keenly sensed something was wrong, turned around and wanted to run away, but was carried up
by Malcolm and pinned to the bed.
Lyra folded her hands, and made a serious 'X' with her forearms, "No, hurry up and make it clear.
Otherwise you are not allowed to do it."
Malcolm was instantly discouraged, straightened his clothes, and repeated everything about meeting
Anthony yesterday, but did not mention Mavis.
Lyra said, "It seems that Mavis's situation is not good now. I have to find time to go back and see her."
Hearing this, Malcolm knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only tell her the truth. "You better not
go. Even Anthony doesn't know where Mavis is."
"What do you mean?"
"Mavis probably ran away from home, and no one knows where she is. You must not ask. Only they
can solve their problem."
Malcolm told her again about the in and out.
This time, Lyra understood and was a little annoyed, "Anthony is doing too far."
"So, the problem was caused by him, so he has to solve it by himself. Lyra, try not to bring it up in front
of Mavis. She probably isn't in a good mood. Leave her alone."
Lyra nodded.

On the beach, the fishermen were working hard.
The sea area had been full of fish recently. Taking advantage of the time, the fishermen were busy from
morning till night.
At this time, the leading fisherman suddenly couldn't pull the net, and he was overjoyed, thinking that
he had caught something good.
He called his friends together, and it took a lot of effort to pull the thing up.
Seeing what was under the fishing net, all the people present were dumbfounded.
It was a woman's corpse ...
Some of the fishermen had studied medicine and tried to use first aid methods, but they didn't expect
the woman could still breathe.
...
Lyra had been absent-minded about Mavis these days. After all, Anthony treated Mavis badly because
of Jaqueline who looked like her.
Mavis was pregnant now, so she always felt a little guilty.
During working hours, Lyra often thought about Mavis.
She didn't know where Mavis had gone now. She didn't have much energy and ability to fight. What
should she do if something went wrong?
Her assistant entered the door, looked at Lyra in a daze, and put the document on the table softly. "Ms.
Lloyd, this is a new cooperation plan written by the planning department. Our next step is mainly to
develop the plain area."
"Development of plain area? Tell me more about it."
The assistant nodded. "Yes, we have done a lot of projects in urban area. The urban population is
limited, so there are only limited consumer groups. There are many rural areas. Although they are
called rural areas, their population is huge. They can also become our consumer group."
Lyra frowned, flipping through the plan, "It's not a problem to expand the consumer group, but the main
point is how is the rural consumption capacity?"
"Very good."
The assistant was a foreigner, and she didn't understand the language they used, so she gave a
thumbs up.
Lyra chuckled. She looked at the contents of the plan and felt that she could take this step.
However, the conclusion can only be drawn after on-the-spot investigations.
The assistant understood what Lyra meant, and immediately said, "I'll arrange it right away. Ms. Lloyd,
when do you have time?"
Lyra thought for a while. "There are no important meetings recently, so I can do it anytime."
