After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 203 Play dead?!

Lyra furrowed her brows, "What's wrong with him?"

"Mr. Melvin he...passed away..."

Lyra was stunned on the spot.

Passed away?

The person who chatted with her and told stories the whole night on phone passed away after she got up?

Lyra didn't believe it at all, "What do you mean? What kind of trick is he playing again?"

Eleven's voice was getting choked up with sobs.

"Nineteen said that it was the man in black's plan to kill you last night. Mr. Melvin learned of it in advance. He told Nineteen not to let you know. Then he went alone for you and helped you get the group killed, but he didn't... didn't come back... ..."

Lyra took a step backwards. Her expression was gradually shifted from shock to a sneer.

"Impossible! I don't believe it. How can he die so easily!?"

Eleven did not talk. Seeing that the lady was still suspicious, he did not hold back his tears for a moment and cried.

Lyra shouted angrily, "What are you crying about? You're a man! Your salary will be deducted for six months if you keep crying!"

When Eleven heard this, he cried even more loudly.

"Oooh Miss, Mr. Melvin he... he is a good man. He's so young. And you want to deduct my salary! It's so miserable! I just can't stop these tears!"

Lyra looked at him who was a tall man and trembling in crying miserably, and her eyes turned red as well.

She took a deep breath and her tone was light, "Since he didn't come back, that's not necessarily true that he has passed away. Send someone to replace him! I want to see him, dead or alive!"

"Miss! Miss!"

Fifteen rushed towards her room, "Chad called and said he wants you to come back as soon as you're done your business. He said Mr. Melvin is waiting for you at Seaside Villa!"

"Mr. Melvin is not dead? He went back? He wasn't hurt last night, was he?" Eleven sniffled, being surprised.

Lyra didn't say anything, but looked at Fifteen for an answer.

Fifteen shook his head, "I don't know. Chad said that, but since Mr. Melvin is waiting for Miss at Seaside Villa, he should be back safely."

Both Lyra and Eleven were relieved to hear this.

"Pack your things. Book the earliest flight back to Frayton as soon as possible."

She wanted to see what Melvin and Nineteen were up to!

"Yes, Miss."

They moved quickly and took the earliest flight back to Frayton that day.

But by the time they got back to Seaside Villa, it was nearing evening.

Winter had begun. The sky was always overcast, as if there would be a downpour at any time.

The cold wind could not stop Lyra's footsteps.

When they entered the villa, Nineteen was not there and the whole villa was quiet and peaceful.

Lyra, who was puzzling, quickly opened the door to the villa.

The cold air from the cavernous windows was overwhelming. The lights were off, and there was no one who would come out from the kitchen to greet her and hand her slippers every day.

"Melvin?"

Lyra shouted, and no one answered.

She looked the living room around and finally she found a small sticky note on the coat rack.

It said: the weather has turned cold. Even you're in the house, you'd better pay attention to wear extra clothes. You're in a good shape, even if you wear a heavy and cumbersome coat, you still look pretty. Lyra, with a stony expression, shouted to upstairs, "Melvin! What the hell are you doing?"

What responded she was the silence in the air for a long time.

Lyra went to his room again. The quilts were neatly folded and the bed was cold.

In addition to the cold wind that made the thin curtains rustling, the whole room was exceptionally cold and cheerless.

Lyra became more and more suspicious and had a bad feeling in her heart. She went to the third floor again and still no one was there.

After looking around, she reentered the living room, and she noticed another sticky note in a fruit basket.

[Fruits have various in vitamins. You need to eat more.]

The fridge also had a sticky note on it, so Lyra walked over and took it off.

[Eat more vegetables. Don't be picky in the future. Mushrooms are not tasty but nutritious. You're very thin. If you gain 5kg, I still like you.]

Lyra went into the kitchen and removed the sticker from the coffee machine.

[In the future, drink less coffee and tea in the evening, and have more rest even if you're busy. It will hurt me to see you stay up late.]

Lyra's heart was touched slightly and the more she thought about it, the stranger it became, "Melvin, come out! What the hell are you up to?"

Waiting for a few minutes, there was never the slightest response, until a knock sounded at the door.

She turned around to open the door happily.

"Why don't you have your key ..."

Her words abruptly stopped, because it was Chad.

He was holding a box. The tears stains were not dry on his face and his eyes were red.

And behind him, there were Ted, Brad and his other brothers who were crying too. Eleven, Twelve and other bodyguards were just standing by their side and their faces also looked sad. Lyra's heart suddenly missed a beat, and a premonition came over her.

She asked icily, "Where is Melvin?"

Chad looked to the box in his hand. His voice was mournful, "Master is here."

Lyra's gaze slowly moved down with him. She guessed but did not believe it.

Chad was crying while explaining, "Last night our boss sneaked behind our back to the abandoned warehouse in eastern suburbs of the forest. He was to help you fix the man in black, but didn't expect them to have another tricks. The entire warehouse was drenched with the gasoline in advance. When we arrived, he had been in the fire ... "

Chad really can't continue and his tears kept falling down.

Everyone was immersed in sadness.

Lyra was also infected by this emotion. She was red-eyed but always snickered in a cold tone, "So you want to say that this is his urn? You think I'll believe such a little trick?"

Ted and Brad cried even harder. Chad held on to it and sobbed.

"Whether you believe it or not, he was burned by the fire. We really can't bear it so we cremated his body. And we think he loved you the most, so we brought him here first, and then sent back to the Freeman Manor."

Lyra stared blankly at the box containing Melvin's ashes, and the nightmare she had that night when she was in Suham suddenly flashed before her eyes ...

The look in his eyes as he grieved to despair in the fire was still fresh in her mind.

She never thought it would be true?

With trembling hands, she took the box from Chad's hands.

Her tears suddenly fell down uncontrollably.

She wiped her tears, looked at Chad and said in a deep tone.

"Did you lie to me together with him? You think I'll believe you when you replace a random box of ash to put me off? He is dead, and I want to see the corpse!"

"He thinks by forcing me to cry in this way, I'll give him a chance? He's dreaming!"

"Ashes, right? Then I'll smash it up and scatter the ashes! I'll see if he can still pretend!"

Her eyes were red, but her expression was cold, and she lifted the box of ashes high in the air and made a move to drop it.

"No!"

Chad, Ted and other five or six brothers all knelt down.

"He! He's really dead! Believe it or not, he'll never come back! He was already wounded, and he went with the intention of death last night. He died for you!" Lyra looked at them in shock.

They were with Melvin from the pile of corpses out of fights. They were all fearless fighters.

For the sake of this box of ashes, they actually knelt down to her?
