After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 46 At the Expense of Lyra

Just...

Lyra wondered if Melvin was involved in this and how much he was involved in this.

Seeing her face getting more and more sullen, Kellie asked weakly, "So, Director, what are you going to do?"

Lyra handed the phone back to her, looking indifferent, and she just continued working, "No plans for the time being. You can leave now. We still have a proposal for the TV talent competition franchise to submit. I need to finish my work first."

"Huh?"

Kellie was stunned, "Director, if you let it be, the opponent will only get more arrogant, and things may get worse."

Lyra didn't answer, already focused on getting to work.

Fine, she had tried. Kellie thought to herself.

She couldn't figure out what was going on in Lyra's head, so she sighed helplessly and left the office.

In just a few hours in the morning, it quickly fermented online and soon shot up to the What's Trending list.

Because Lyra's side had not given any response, and it seemed like someone was manipulating the public opinions online, thus the majority was rooting for Charlotte at this point.

Even Lyra's experience of having lived in an orphanage before was exposed, as well as her employment with Angle Group.

Numerous reporters flocked to the Angle Group building, waiting for a chance to catch an interview.

At the same time in the stock market, Angle Group's price plunged two percent in just one hour, and it seemed to be on the fall.

Nearly all the comments were supporting Charlotte.

"Poor Miss Matthews, she was so in love with Mr. Freeman. But that side chick came between them!

"This woman should've gone to hell. Arrest her for intentional assault, hello?"

"Yes, such a homewrecking slut deserves to die. No wonder why her papa and mama don't want her."

"As a fan of Cody, I petition the company to fire this unscrupulous person immediately! An employee like this will seriously afflict my idol's reputation!"

"Ditto."

"+1, the people have spoken!"

On the recliner in the room, Charlotte was looking at her phone, smiling from ear to ear.

She would like to see how haughty Lyra could still be.

With things going on like this, Angle Group would probably fire Lyra in order not to get into trouble, right?

When Keith saw her for what she really was, he was likely to kick her out of the way!

At the thought of this, Charlotte could no longer control her laughter, because of which, her originally beautiful features became a bit distorted. She hadn't been able to laugh like this for a very long time.

She couldn't remember when was the last time that she got to be so satisfied.

Without her job, without Keith as the backer, how should that bitch continue to swagger in front of her?

She had to say that Irene's plan was really well-thought-out; Collaborating with Irene had saved herself lots of time and energy.

In an excellent mood Charlotte sipped her tea in an leisurely and elegantly manner.

Also holding her phone and keeping up with the situation was Kellie from Angle Group. Things seemed to be getting worse!

If this continued, the director would lose her job, right?

Then she, the director's assistant who had just passed her probation a few days ago, would have to be fired as well?

She was getting fidgety, but she could do nothing.

But what was the point of her being anxious?

The woman in the center of chaos didn't seem to be concerned at all.

Lyra, in the office, was still looking at the computer and mulling over various scenarios for the TV talent competition franchise.

As for the fuss online, she hadn't even looked at it.

The phone rang suddenly and very untimely.

She turned her head and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Originally, she did not want to answer, but the number called three times in a row, as if it was not gonna stop until she answered.

Lyra was annoyed by the noise.

She would like to see who it was.

The call was answered and a familiar low voice came through.

To listen carefully, the voice sounded rather anxious, also mixed with... a bit of other emotions.

"Why are you still in the mood to work when things are already like that on the internet? Should I say you have a big heart, or you're just stupid?" Melvin?

Lyra first froze, not expecting he was the one who called.

After the divorce, she had her phone number changed, so how did this man replace her contact information?

Hearing his tone, she guessed that he probably did not know about this matter. But even if he didn't, that childhood lover of his must have something to do with it. Lyra was quiet for a few seconds.

The caller asked again, "Hey? Got so scared that you've become dumb?"

Lyra was amused.

Scared by such a small thing? No way.

"Mr. Freeman, you're surely imaginative. You could become a novel writer, you know? Maybe you can earn more than you did in real estate."

"I'm talking to you about the real deal here. Stop changing the subject."

Melvin's voice became even lower. He suddenly realized that since some time ago, the two of them would start quarreling as soon as they talked to each other?

"I'm talking about the real deal. Instead of poking your nose into my business, you should keep your fiancée well in check. If she pisses me off, the consequences could be overwhelming for her." The more she said, the colder her voice became, "By the way, please also stay away from me in the future. I'll say this again—it's none of your business."

Melvin was stunned. It was already beeping on the phone before he could retort.

This woman had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today?

So grumpy.

Lyra had just hung up the phone when it rang again.

This time it was Cody.

"Lyra, have you thought of how to respond? If needed, I can help you clarify. I believe in Angle Group's PR ability. They would have everything under control soon." Cody was really worried, the anxiety in his tone being apparent.

This kid had rectitude.

Lyra was moved, but she refused, "No, you are a popular star now. If you take the initiative to stand up for me, it will only backfire. Your crazy fans will rush to the company, waiting to cut me with a knife. "What's more, I want more than simply putting a lid on it."

Cody wondered, "Looks like you've got a countermeasure? If you need help, feel free to command me!"

Lyra replied with an "OK" and hung up the phone to get back to work.

Kellie came to visit her twice in the middle of the day. For several times she tried to say something but held it back in the end, shook her head and left.

The topic was still in heated discussion when it was already noon.

A photo previously posted online of Sheila and Charlotte in the dressing room before the party was noticed by the public again. Many paid accounts started to promote Charlotte's persona as a kind and beautiful angel.

After Charlotte learned about it, she purposely created a new account on Twitter and followed only Melvin.

Then she posted things about her and Melvin's relationship and instantly gained about 50,000 to 60,000 followers.

She incidentally posted another tweet to thank her followers, again earning loads of thumbs-up.

Charlotte, scrolling on her phone, was thrilled.

She hadn't expected this would work out so well, to make a name for herself at the expense of Lyra. How good did that feel!

While she was cheering for her success, the message prompt rang again.

She couldn't wait to click on it to check it out; she enjoyed the feeling of being praised.

But.

The message actually said, "So you are the real side chick. Didn't see that coming? Bitch, your POI has posted a clarification!"

What the hell?

Why did this person curse her? And who posted a clarification ?

She was wondering, when suddenly a second and third message followed, all cursing her.

How could this happen?

Could it be... Lyra?
