The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 965 She is related to a case

The slap was nothing to Jaqueline.

She was still staring at him fiercely.

Seeing this, the man immediately took down the whip from the wall, and Jaqueline's eyes instantly became terrified.

This whip was not an ordinary one. It was full of barbs, which were densely packed. It can directly tear the skin of a person when whipped.

And there were mottled blood on it. This whip was his means of doing evil. Countless women had died under this whip before.

Before Jaqueline started to get scared, she was whipped hard, and it hurt like hell.

She screamed in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"If you have the ability, beat me to death!"

The man was very skillful. Except for the exposed skin, there was no place where the whip was dropped.

The entire courtyard was filled with Jaqueline's screams, and the bodyguards guarding the door were already familiar with it, expressionless.

In the end, Jaqueline was really exhausted and covered in blood, but she still wanted to see Anthony.

The man was about to continue dropping the whip, but Jaqueline said,

"Escort that batch of goods. I promise you. Don't... don't beat me."

After speaking, she lost consciousness in pain and passed out directly.

After Lyra received the call from Mavis, she always felt that something was weird.

This feeling lasted all day.

Back at the villa where she lived temporarily abroad at night, Malcolm saw that she was absent-minded and asked why.

Lyra hesitated for a while, but finally said it outright.

"Honey, tell me, could it be that Anthony contacted Jaqueline again? I think Mavis is really weird. I can't tell."

Malcolm analyzed it for her.

Lyra's intuition had always been very accurate, but if it was only based on intuition, it was unfounded.

His focus was on Mavis not saying anything about Anthony and the kid.

Mavis wanted to go back to solve the child's problem, but until now there was not even news.

Especially the sudden change of the phone number. It can only fool ordinary people, but Lyra didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it either.

After thinking about it for a while, Malcolm asked her, "What's the situation with that Jaqueline? Didn't he agree to cut off contact last time?"

While busy with skin care, Lyra replied casually, "Who knows? Mavis won't say anything, neither will Zack. And Anthony doesn't answer the phone at all, but according to Mavis, she looks a bit like me." A bit like her?

Malcolm frowned handsomely, a little annoyed.

He seemed to guess what was going on in Anthony's head.

But he quickly thought about the previous case, and there was indeed a woman who looked a bit like Lyra.

However, they were not completely similar. Their temperament and face shape were different, but their eyes were relatively similar, with charm.

He associated something and asked Lyra, "Is there a picture of that Jaqueline?"

"Yes, Mavis took a picture of her once before. I'll look for it."

With that said, she went to get her cell phone.

"This."

The woman in the photo was only about 1. 6 meters tall, petite and lovely, with a sweet and lovely look in her eyes, while Lyra's current temperament was cold and capable. Malcolm's eyes were fixed on the photo, very serious.

Lyra noticed something when he stared at the photo without speaking for a long time.

"You don't know her, do you?"

Malcolm sighed, "I don't want to know her, but she's indeed a member of the gang in a case I didn't solve before. It can't be the mistake."

Lyra was startled, and wanted to call Mavis to tell her about it, but she calmed down, and the hand that was about to dial stopped.

She couldn't call Mavis.

If Jaqueline found it out, wouldn't she be alerted?

First, it will affect the case of the National Investigation Bureau. Second, if Anthony was really involved with her, with Mavis's character, she will probably favor Anthony and take the initiative to keep him away from danger.

At that time, she was afraid that they will be in danger.

Malcolm put on his coat. "It's too late now. Rara, don't reveal any information to Mavis. I'll leave and be back soon."

"Be careful."

"Yes."

Lyra knew that he was busy with the case again.

This discovery was a major breakthrough.

With Malcolm's temperament, he would definitely seize this opportunity.

Lyra felt a little uneasy. After knowing it, she was very worried about Mavis.

...

Jaqueline went out to talk about cooperation and never came back.

Anthony couldn't help feeling suspicious.

He told Zack to go out quickly to find Jaqueline's whereabouts, but after searching around, there was no news.

Those who were kidnapped on the mountain where it was not monitored.

A group of people were at a loss.

Just when Anthony was anxious, Jaqueline's phone call suddenly got through.

Jaqueline reported to him directly that she was safe.

"Anthony, I was just in the mountains and you called me so many times?"

Anthony always felt that her voice was weird.

"What are you doing in the mountain? I thought something happened to you. You didn't answer after I made so many calls. Come back quickly."

Jaqueline was on the verge of tears when she heard his voice.

She had never been exposed to such warm treatment since she was a child.

Once upon a time, there was a trustworthy person beside her.

The wound on her body was still bleeding, but she felt less pain.

"It's okay. There is no signal in the mountains. I just suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. Since my grandma died, I haven't been alone. Don't worry. I can guarantee my safety." Anthony's tone was serious. "Is there anything to see on the mountain? Where are you? I'll find you."

"No, I just found out that there is a person here who seems to be a distant relative of my family. You really don't have to worry about me. I will go back soon."

Afraid of crying, Jaqueline quickly hung up the phone.

Just a few minutes ago, she woke up from a coma, and had a long dream.

She dreamed that Anthony was walking towards her gently, and she was no longer the current self, standing with him with a clean identity background.

She wished that it was not a dream. Even if it was, she would never wake up.

Jaqueline put down her phone, and when she turned her head, she saw her adoptive father standing behind her, staring at her coldly.

She was terrified, pretending nothing happened, and wanted to pass him by.

Who knew that halfway through, the man suddenly spoke.

"You don't really fall in love with that bastard, do you?"

Jaqueline looked back and laughed at herself. "Love? What is love? Am I worthy?"

The man sneered. "You do have self-knowledge."

"Standing with you, of course I have to know my identity."

Jaqueline said and left.

Hearing Jaqueline's attitude, his subordinates wanted to catch up with her and teach her a lesson, but the man stopped them.

"What are you chasing her for?"

"Boss, Jaqueline is getting more and more presumptuous. She didn't dare talk to you like this before. It seems that she still needs to be taught a lesson."

The man snorted coldly.

"Let her go. In the end, she will find out that she is just my plaything. She knows exactly what will happen if my plaything changes her mind."

The delivery of the goods was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Jaqueline started preparing two days ago, and didn't know if it might be a trap for herself this time.

That man was extremely cold-blooded, and didn't care if he raised her himself. As long as she was disobedient, she would end badly.

But from the moment she decided to resist, she already knew the final outcome.
