Chapter 24 Who Is the Unlucky One?

Stacy was even more shocked beyond words.

Who the hell was this Lyra Carroll?

Well done Stacy! Just as she had finished saying that Lyra was doomed...

Lyra knew Cody Carver? But Stacy had read her profile. How could someone who grew up in an orphanage know Cody Carver?

Thinking it might not be that simple, Stacy quietly backed away from the scene and dialed a phone number.

And as the crowd looked at Lyra, their eyes filled with admiration.

Cody, the center of attention, was oblivious to the stares of the crowd.

Squatting next to Lyra and kneading her legs, Cody looked up at Lyra, his eyes sparkling, smiling like a puppy dog.

"It's been a long time. Lyra, you're getting more and more beautiful. A beautiful woman can't be angry with a kid like me, or you'll become ugly!"

Lyra's long finger poked him at his forehead, red lips approaching his ear. She whispered, "Knock it off. From now on, be a good boy and stay in the crew for the filming. If you made troubles again I'll tell your grandpa about your great achievements."

"Don't! He's going to beat the shit out of me!"

Cody felt an ache all over his body, and hurriedly pleaded with Lyra in a pitiful manner, "Lyra, don't worry. I'll listen to whatever you say."

Lyra's red lips curled up into a smile, "Now then, go apologize to the cleaning lady."

"Huh?"

Cody's face changed, "I'm the young master of the Carver family. You want me to bow down to the cleaning lady? My dignity... How could I, Lyra..."

Lyra put away her smile and looked serious again.

"It's the 21st century. You think you're the aristocrat or something? You lost your temper and smashed all these things. She did nothing wrong, and still have to clean up your mess, not to mention that she was trying to persuade you but got yelled at. Don't you think this is your fault?"

Cody was totally deflated.
