Chapter 91
Had she ... known her identity?!
They looked at each other.
Lyra smiled delicately, "Have a guess?"
Abigail's expression was serious, "If I could have guessed that, I wouldn't have come all the way over here to find you."
Originally she suspected Lyra could be from the Lloyd family, but she checked the Lloyd family, except the patriarch of Lloyd family, Reginald Lloyd had a young daughter, the rest was almost all boys.
But Reginald's youngest daughter was announced dead six years ago.
So this conjecture was almost impossible.
And the Hughes family just announced the news about the illegitimate daughter in Suham some years ago, but did not reveal the appearance of that illegitimate daughter, would it be ...
"Are you the illegitimate daughter of the Hughes family?"
Relieved to hear Abigail ask, Lyra didn't answer, but asked instead, "We haven't known each other for very long, so why do you want to help me this time?" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Abigail said squarely: "I said, I did not exactly help you. The Matthews family should take responsible for your accident. I just want to protect you and the Matthews family."
This answer made Lyra feel much lighter, at least she didn't have to feel guilty about hiding her friend who was genuinely helping her.
"Miss Matthews is the successor of Mr. Matthews. You can calculate the profit and loss at the first time.
Lyra finished speaking and turned her head to leave.
Charlotte called out to her, "What about you? You didn't answer the question I just asked."
Lyra paused slightly in her steps, but did not turn around.
"I'm just me, just Lyra."
Her voice was soft, but was so powerful.
Abigail watched her back as she left. Her eyes gradually became obscured, but it was impossible to tell what she was actually thinking.
From the remote corridor, Lyra did not go back to the venue, but went back to the car to change into a set of casual clothes that she had brought. Then she called Keith by cell phone, and drove back to Angle Group by herself.
Once inside the office, Garrett was already waiting in the office for a long time.
Seeing Lyra pushing the door in, he smiled and came over, "I heard about the Matthews family, you really haven't changed at all, still the same as before, a little badass who won't take any losses."
This was the third time recently that someone had called her a 'little badass'.
Lyra shook her head with smile and changed the subject, "What is it that you made a special trip over here for?"
Garrett curbed his joking mind and handed her the information in his hand in a serious manner.
"This is the recent construction progress of the entire film and television base. Since your last major reform, the speed is really much faster. I believe that at this rate, it will be completed in half a month."
Lyra took the information, turned the pages, and looked it over carefully, "Very good."
Garrett saw her heartfelt smile, was very happy as well, continued to say, "With our cooperation with the head of the film and television base, he has the intention of a long-term contract with you. I hope you can give an early answer."
"Win-win cooperation. It's a good thing. I agree."
With her approval, Garrett handed over a document again, "They are interested in adapting the web bestselling novel that was a big hit some time ago into a web series. They would like to have a first time collaboration with the actors of Angle Group. Here is the script."
Lyra read the script carefully and nodded from the bottom of her heart.
"It's really a great big IP and it's good to have an Angle Group cast."
As she spoke, she considered the candidates based on a combination of actor hotness and character fit.
"I still prefer Cody. Although this boy is usually a little naughty, his acting is very good when filming. In addition, Elias Navarro and Veronica King's appearance is also quite suitable for these two roles ..."
After some discussion, Garrett concurred.
"I didn't expect you and the person in charge over there to think the same. Well, it's late. You must be tired after a martial arts competition at the ceremony, right?"
Lyra just pursed her lips and smiled, and although her expression was light and breezy, Garrett caught a glimpse of fatigue under her eyes.
He really felt for her, "Although you’re busy, pay attention to the body. In fact, you do not have to do all these things yourself. You have to try to let go, or ... try to rely on a man."
He seemed to mean what he said at the end, and was just about to reach out and pat her on the shoulder, but was misplaced by the movement of her just as she turned towards the sofa.
Relying on men?
Hadn't she had enough lessons she'd tried to rely on a man past three years?
No one in this world can really be expected and relied on but themselves to be strong.
But Lyra did not intend to tell Garrett what she was thinking, and just faintly said, "Do not worry. I know how far to go and when to stop."
Garrett withdrew his hand despondently, turned and left the office after a couple more concerned words.
As soon as he left, Lyra's whole body shrunk into the sofa. She was really tired today, and used all her strength in Master Dacey’s competition. Now she just wanted to rest quietly alone.
However, it had passed not even five minutes after lying down. Kellie knocked on the door again.
"Director, there's a problem with Mr. Carver!"
Lyra had to brace herself up to get up from the soft and listened to Kellie's report while she drove to the base.
Kellie described the director of the show as a very famous and temperamental person who was one of the best in the industry.
He felt that the contract he signed with Angle Group was not very reasonable, so he forced Cody to stay on the set and tried to extend his shooting hours. It was impossible that Cody would compromise, so the two of them quarreled on the set and had a fierce fight.
As they arrived at the set, Lyra heard from afar the sound of arguing inside.
"Are you trying to make me a free laborer? Aren't you afraid that I will disclose what you did on the Internet? Do you still want to be a director?"
The director Leon Cunningham was not weak, and responded to him with cold smile.
"Mr. Carver, I know you're not only famous, you have the Carver family to back you up, but I'm not afraid! Your contract is already problematic. What's wrong if I let you shoot for a few more hours? If you don't cooperate, I'll have someone cut your footage and ruin your popularity!"
Cody was exasperated by his shameless act, but it was rare that he didn't throw a fit and drop something.
Leon had the upper hand and was very pleased with himself.
"As a popular actor, you should know how important the fans are. I can accomplish you to go farther on this road, and I can easily ruin you."
"You shameless villain!"
Instead of being angered by him, Leon laughed even louder.
"Haha! I didn't expect the Carver family's famous bastard would fall into my hands one day, but I'm the one who's in charge this time, even if God come here, it won't work!"
Just as he finished his words, a clear voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the set.
"Is that so? Then I may have to disappoint you!"
All people on the set looked towards the door, and saw Lyra, with Kellie, walking towards this way with a cold aura as if she was about to beat someone up.
