Chapter 218 You have no evidence, but I do
Hanging up the phone, she ordered about the decoration stuff and went back to Lloyd’s Parlor.
But she parked her car halfway up the hill, where Keith had previously given her the spare key to his villa.
She went inside to get some things before heading to the hall at a leisurely pace.
Just after arriving at the hall, she was even a few meters away from the entrance and heard the cries of Vincent’s daughter-in-law Joanna Palmer.
“Reginald! As you can see, Vincent’s face has been ruined by Lyra. You can’t be partial to her this time!”
Their son, Caden, was also indignant: “Reginald, Lyra has gone too far this time.
Reginald sat in his wheelchair and was silent amid the accusations of the Vincent family.
Douglas sighed, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn’t.
Reginald noticed and asked, “What do you think?”
“I don’t dare.”
“It’s okay. I’m here. Don’t worry.”
Douglas thought about it, “I think we can’t just listen to their words on this matter. Since Vincent accused Miss, he should have an evidence.”
Claudia, sitting on the side, was not convinced, “Reginald, you know Lyra’s temper. She’s usually arrogant and doesn’t respect anyone. It’s not strange that she will do this kind of thing. There’s no need for the evidence.”
Reginald never said a word. No one can’t guess what he was thinking.
Vincent suddenly got up from his chair and said in a firm tone, “I, Vincent, swear by the name of my ancestors that Lyra hurt me with acid. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!”
He had just finished speaking when there was a sudden rumble outside.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
He was so frightened that he was abashed on the spot and his legs were trembling.
Joanna and Caden both turned pale with fear as well.
The atmosphere in the room became extra gloomy because of the boom sound outside.
In the midst of this eerie atmosphere, Lyra’s light and cheerful laughter came through the door, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
Lyra snickered in a delicate tone as she pushed the door open and there was an orange-flavored lollipop in her mouth, “It seems Vincent’s vow is so untrue that even God don’t believe it.”
Vincent raged, “Lyra, you made thunder just now, didn’t you?”
Lyra laughed it off.
She only asked Twelve to play the thunder drum that was connected to a loud speaker stereo, and didn’t expect Vincent’s family would be so scared.
“Vincent, obviously you did something wrong yourself, otherwise you won’t be afraid of being struck by lightning?”
“You!”
Vincent turned sharply to glare at her.
Lyra pretended to be surprised, “How did your face get hurt like this? It seems to be words, right? Lazy and idle, well, these words really fit your temperament, Vincent.”
Being humiliated, the Vincent family was furious.
Vincent stood up, glaring at her with anger.
“Lyra, at least I dare to swear on my ancestors, but don’t you dare!? Don’t you dare say you didn’t hurt my face with acid?”
Lyra was dismissive, “Who am I to swear? You did this, so why should I be forced to do the same?”
“You don’t swear because you don’t dare!” Caden interjected viciously.
“Provocation? I’m not falling for that.” Her red lips pursed her lollipop and she smiled recklessly.
Reginald, who was in charge of the family, looked at Lyra tenderly but never said a word.
The crowd could not understand his mind and did not dare to speak casually.
But Lyra dared, “Vincent, you say I hurt you. They are only empty words. You have to show evidences. I can’t let your family and Claudia bully me.”
Vincent didn’t say anything but Claudia was annoyed first and pouted to Reginald with a crying voice, “Honey, look at her. She called me by my name. She doesn’t respect me at all. I didn’t bully her!”
Reginald got a headache from the noise and reprimanded her lightly, “Does it have something to do with you? Cut the crap.”
Claudia was deflated with great displeasure and stood behind him.
Reginald then looked at Vincent, “Vincent, Lyra is right. Empty words are not evidence.”
Vincent: “Reginald, she knocked me out and kidnapped me. Took me to a basement somewhere and committed atrocities against me. Surely she disposed of it cleanly afterwards. Where can I get the evidence?”
He said with old tears, “Reginald, you know me. I have always been very loving to my niece. I am good-natured, always have no ambition. If she didn’t do it, how can I just wrong her?”
“Of course you can.”
Reginald didn’t answer. It was Lyra who said this.
“Because you want to kill me for a long time. When I was still in Frayton, you let Caden threaten Anthony and poison me. You should still remember this incident, right?”
Vincent snorted coldly, “Empty words without evidence. Same for you!”
“You forgot. Of course I have evidence.” She smiled, opened her bag, took out a stapled document, walked over and handed it to Reginald.
Vincent’s eyes moved, but he didn’t say anything.
Caden sulked first, “The only evidence you have is Anthony’s confession. That’s not enough!”
Lyra took the lollipop from her mouth away and raised her eyebrows in surprise: “I didn’t think Caden had already seen the evidence in my hand.”
Except for a few people who was innocent, others gradually perceived that something was wrong.
Caden froze and quickly regained his composure, “I serve in the Bureau of National Affairs. Anthony was imprisoned for stealing laboratory drugs six months ago. I certainly remember this.”
Lyra made a meaningful “oh” sound and laughed even louder.
“It may be a disappointment to Caden, because there’s more than Anthony’s confession in this document.”
As she just finished speaking, Reginald has finished reading the entire evidence that was collated. He was so angry that he threw the tea cup on the table fiercely at Vincent’s feet.
The cup was smashed instantly with a sharp and loud sound.
Claudia and Joanna both failed to react and screamed at the same time.
What was more, Reginald was outraged that his hands shook, “Vincent! Caden!”
“Reginald?”
“Read it yourself!” Reginald slammed the document down at Vincent’s feet with one hand.
Caden stepped forward, bent down and helped Vincent pick it up.
The two men looked at the evidence document together and simultaneously blushed and looked at Lyra in shock.
Lyra looked careless.
In the past six months, Collin helped her to organize the evidence of Vincent’s family clearly and put it in Keith’s villa.
Vincent did not expect her to gather all the evidence so quickly, and that was why he dared to jump out and scream.
And this was the reason why she intended to come back to Suham and confront with them.
She looked to Reginald and said in a confused and delicate tone, “Dad, according to the Lloyd family instructions, what should be the punishment for Vincent and Caden’s brutalization of their relatives for the sake of the their fortune?”
Reginald’s gaze was sorrowful, and he deliberately raised his voice, “He should be expelled from the Lloyd family and sent to prison for severe punishment!”
