Chapter 3 Suddenly Get Rich?
“Your father said you can choose not to go back now, but you must accept the Angle Group in Frayton. It’s a subsidiary of Lloyd Group. You need to make sure the group’s profit for the current year is five points higher than previous.”
“He said that you could refuse, but the Freeman Group could end up very badly as a result.”
Lyra gritted her teeth in hatred.
Before the old Mr. Freeman died, she had promised that she would help the Freeman Group, so she couldn’t let anything happen to them.
Her dad clearly had known her soft spot this time, but instead of using it to threaten her to go home, he wanted her to take over the Angle Group.

“Okay, as he wishes!”
Lyra took a pen, signed her name, and took the thirty-billion-dollar black card.
She looked at the card and shook her head in amusement.
A few minutes ago, she was so poor and she only had ten dollars in her pocket, which was not even enough to pay for a taxi back home.
So, a sudden fortune it was?
Because of the previous agreement with her dad, her bank account was frozen. What was more, according to the agreement, she had to hide her true identity.
In the past years, her snobbish mother and sister-in-law had not even looked at her properly just because she was poor.
What would they be like when they found that she was actually the youngest daughter of the Lloyd family, Lyra Lloyd, one of the richest women in the country?
She remembered, before she recovered her memory, her best friend from the orphanage was dying, and she went to Fiona Lee, her mother-in-law, on her knees, begging her to lend her some money.
Fiona proudly took out a platinum bank card, but instead of handing it to her, she simply wanted to show off to her, “Guess how much money is in here? A million! You’ve never seen so much money in your life, right?”
“But I won’t lend you a dime! Instead, I’ll use it to buy dog food! Because your poor friend is not as good as a pet dog in my eyes.”
Lyra clenched her fists and was furious when recalling the past.
If she had a chance, she would love to teach these two snobs a lesson! An eye for an eye!
As she was pondering, Lyra was suddenly grabbed by her wrist.
When she turned around, she found it was Fiona.
Fiona was holding her chin high and she looked very disgusted and discontented when she looked at her. A few rich women were right behind her, and in her hands were many shopping bags. It looked like they should have just finished shopping.
Lyra tucked her card into her bag while keeping her countenance, “What’s up?”.
At first, Fiona was stunned, because she didn’t expect Lyra’s attitude to be so cold. Lyra used to be so timid whenever she saw Fiona.
“Who gave you the permission to come out and make a fool of yourself!? Have you finished all your chores? Is lunch ready? If you starve my baby son, I’ll kill you!”
“Look at what you’re wearing! You’ve been married for several years, but you still look so poor. It’s a bloody disgrace!”
“Me? Disgrace?”
What Fiona said seemed to be a big joke to her, “After I married your son, you deliberately dismissed all the servants and forced me to quit my job. I had to do all the laundry work and cook for your son. I did all you wanted me to, but are you ever satisfied?”
“And you never had enough. You accused me of stealing your jewels but you simply wanted to withhold the shares the old Mr. Freeman left me. And you forced me to get on my knees in the pouring rain. Have you forgotten all of that?”
The rich women behind Fiona were surprised when they heard what she said. Although they all knew Fiona was mean to her daughter-in-law, they didn’t expect her to be so mad.
When they saw that there was something going on between the two, the rich women all made some excuses and left.
“What … What are you talking about?!”
Fiona had tried to interrupt Lyra for several times, but Lyra spoke so fast that she was baffled by her words and had never got a chance.
“You know it well.”
Lyra proudly lifted up her chin, and her eyes looked stern, “I put up with you in the past, but if you dare mess with me again in the future, I will make sure you will regret it!”
