After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 472 Malcolm is short of money?

All soldiers of the fourth team were evacuated back to the bureau.

Lyra, Malcolm, and Chad who was carrying Melissa, rushed back to Lyre Spiti when Keith and Keira were already waiting at the door for a long time. Knowing what they had planned for the day, Keith's entire body was agitated, standing in the doorway and pacing back and forth.

Keira found a stool and sat for as long as Keith stood.

It was already dark, and the streetlights in front of the villa drew Keith's shadow long and narrow.

Keira finally said, "Mr. Keith, would you please settle down for a moment? I'm getting dizzy from all the shaking! Why don't you sit down for a while?"

Keith ignored it and continued to pace from side to side.

It was already rather late.

There was still no news from Rara and he didn't know if the plan was going well.

At this juncture, how could he sit still?

Being unable to persuade, Keira shook her head helplessly and felt bored with waiting for Chad.

Another moment passed.

Not far away came the sound of hurried footsteps. Keith turned his head to check. Even though the light outside was a bit dim, he could instantly watch Melissa who was on Chad's back.

"Melissa?"

He ran over and decisively picked up the unconscious Melissa from Chad's back and held her tightly in his arms.

Noticing that her face was as pale as paper and her wrists and neck had very visible deep red swollen marks, Keith's eyes were red with pain and he looked to Lyra, "Rara, what's going on? Is she hurt?" Lyra sighed, "Go inside. It's not convenient here."

Keith understood, nodded immediately, and ran towards Lyre Spiti with Melissa in his arms.

The other three followed at a fast pace.

Two minutes later, Keith found out what happened from Lyra.

Boom--

In the villa, the loud sound of hammering the table came through, startling the birds in the trees.

Keith's eyes were red with anger and he wanted to skin Shane immediately, "He can imprison and torture his own sister. He is a beast!"

The atmosphere in the living room was unusually gloomy.

Melissa was settled in a guest room and Keira was taking close care of her, helping her change into a clean set of clothes and cleaning her body in the process.

Chad and Lyra's eyes looked downcast and serious.

Only Malcolm, he compressed the corners of his mouth slightly, coldly spoiling the atmosphere, "I have this crystal table flown from Yeclax. If it breaks, it has to be paid for at the price, and he can't take credit even if he's family."

Keith, Chad and Lyra were speechless.

Keith's eyes were still red and he looked at Malcolm with shock and hurt, "Me and Melissa are encountering such a tricky thing, and you have to calculate the value of the table with me?"

Chad touched his nose and also said, "Have you been short of money lately? Did you do something bad and Lyra deducted your spending money?"

This time it was Lyra's turn to be speechless, but she calmly looked at Malcolm with question.

In the face of the trio's stares, Malcolm explained while remaining collected, "Because Rara loves this new coffee table. Not a single crack will do."

The atmosphere in the living room was suddenly subtle.

Lyra looked askance at Malcolm and laughed. Then she quickly understood what Malcolm meant.

Seeing that Keith was so angry, Malcolm was afraid that he would be irrational again like last time, so he deliberately changed the topic to ease the atmosphere and also to relieve Keith's heart of anger towards Shane.

Malcolm was getting more and more careful.

She was quite satisfied with a slight smile, and turned her head to see Keith's face, which was really much better, before she could mention the topic again.

"Keith, for Melissa's mental, maybe there's really a little problem that needs to be treated by a doctor. Shane will definitely be watching and asking, so replace a way to get her back to normal as soon as possible." "When she is almost healed, she's going to be sent to the National Investigation Bureau for a formal psychiatric examination. This is the only way to replace out exactly what Shane did to her and confirm Shane's crime."

Keith nodded his head, with no comment.

Lyra continued, "Also, I suggest Melissa should be allowed to stay at Lyre Spiti during this time."

At this point, Keith didn't immediately agree, "Rara, can I take her back to my home? She doesn't seem to know me anymore......"

His whole heart was filled with guilt, especially when he saw Melissa being tortured by Shane to the point of being inhuman, his heart was bleeding.

He was already strangled to the point of suffocation by guilt if he couldn't do something for Melissa himself.

Lyra knew him well enough to know that he now wanted desperately to do everything he could to make up for the damage Melissa had suffered, but conditions would not allow it.

She explained clearly, "No, Keith. Shane must do something to escape conviction. Malcolm is a superior, ans he should not say anything. We must make a few more days to Melissa's treatment. Once he knows that Melissa was brought back by you, I guess there will be trouble again."

Theoretically, the Barker family had not withdrawn from the marriage yet. Melissa was still Ashton's fiancée, and Keith had no reason whatsoever to leave her at his villa alone with him.

It was not easy to give an account to Shane if he found out.

Moreover, even if the Barker family withdrew from the marriage, Keith's relationship with Melissa was not perfectly justifiable.

But staying with Lyre Spiti was different. Lyra and Melissa were good friends after all.

Keith was relatively sensible at this moment. He understood Lyra's intentions and compromised, "Okay, so ... can I apply to bother you guys for a few days as well?"

Lyra turned her head to look at Malcolm, who was also looking at her. They were looking at each other and did not answer for the first time.

Keith felt it a little abrupt, "I will not stay here for nothing. I can help Malcolm do housework but also can pay for accommodation and food at ten times the market price."

Lyra laughed, "Keith, are you kidding? It's normal for you to be a guest at your sister's place for a few days. Why do you still need to pay for it?"

"Yes, yes, Malcolm usually cooks and does housework. He just needs to cook for two more people!"

Malcolm was wordless

The atmosphere in the living room gradually became harmonious, and the matter about Melissa was basically settled down.

Lyra asked one more question, "How's the Barker family?"

Keith replied seriously, "I've given Ashton one day to think about it. He should have an answer by tomorrow morning. It will be a good news." "That's good."

Lyra nodded and let out a long breath.

Everything was getting clearer and seemed to be moving in a good direction ...

She was thinking resentfully when a scream from the guest room upstairs interrupted her thoughts.

It was Keira's voice!

Immediately afterwards, Keira's cry for help came from upstairs, "Chad! She's so scary! I can't control her!" Keith got up and rushed to upstairs, followed quickly by Lyra, Malcolm and Chad.

As soon as he entered the guest room, Keith smelled the strong smell of blood.

Keira collapsed off her feet onto the carpet under the bed. The white sheets soaked in bright red blood. Keith looked up to see Melissa's movements, and his heart fluttered and his breathing seemed to stop.
