After divorce I am a billionaire

The Lloyd Group was currently the second only to White Corp in Crana. 5% of the shares alone had large market value.

Shane wanted 15% at a time.

Moreover, this was only the engagement gift. For the marriage, there was another requirement.

However, although the 15% share was a lot, if it was all to Melissa, that was fine. But if it was for the Callahan family, it made Lyra and Keith very upset.

The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment, and no one took the lead in speaking for a long time.

Shane observed the two of their faces and smiled, "Melissa is a big star. Since the announcement of her status as the daughter of the Callahan family, many of the gentry have come to me to ask about engagement. Basically, they're willing to give 15% shares of their group, so | just ask your opinion. " Keith was silent.

He was not the head of Lloyd Group, and he couldn't make decisions about it.

Moreover, as a member of Lloyd family, he held only 15% of the shares in the Lloyd Group, which could not be moved but with the permission of the family's master.

Shane's requirement for 15% of the shares was unbelievable.

Lyra smiled slightly and answered, "Won't you ask too much? For the same amount of shares, the Lloyd Group and other groups can't be compared in terms of market values." Shane: "They will include other gifts in addition to the 15% of the group's shares. | know the Lloyd Group's share price is higher so | only make that one request.” Lyra was a little annoyed by his double-dealing smile and retorted him bluntly.

"Mr. Shane, this request can simply be considered a overpricing. Melissa grew up in the orphanage. With her own efforts, she started her career from the talent show held by the group. Her resources for acting are provided by the group and Keith." "She got the honor of Best Actress step by step. In addition to her own talent and hard work, her success can not be separated from Keith and me." "The Callahan family hasn't helped her one day in twenty years. And the family has contributed nothing to her except the identity as the daughter of a powerful family." "In this case, why do you ask my family for 15% of the group's shares? I'm afraid Melissa can not enjoy the money but for your family." "Your family has only been kind to her, not nurturing. You bargain for her like a commodity when you know she and Keith are already in a relationship. Mr. Shane, you really are cool and realistic.” He was fixed by her but he was unperturbed. There was no trace of embarrassment at all.

He leisurely sipped his tea, and his tone was calm, "Lyra, why so angry? This is just a discussion. There is still room for discussion. No hurry. Wait until you think clearly. It's not too late." Lyra didn't bother to listen to his words, got up and smoothed her skirt, "Which room is Melissa in? I'll go up and see her." "She is doing her makeup and changing her dress, so it may not be convenient. Anyway, the party will start soon. You will see her then." He didn't even let them meet her in advance? Lyra was so upset that she turned her head and walked away.

With two steps away, she turned back, "You can me Lyra. That sounds weird. Mr. Shane, you should call me Mrs. White in the future.” Shane's expression froze slightly, and soon he smiled, "Okay." When she came out of the hall, Malcolm was waiting outside and immediately came up and asked, "Rara, how is it going? Does the engagement go well?" Lyra's face was stony and she shook her head.

Malcolm frowned, "Shane did not agree? But Keith and Melissa are already in a relationship. Although it's not public, they are actually together. Shane has no reason to refuse.” "| was the one who refused." Lyra lowered her eyes and calmly explained, "He asked for 15% of the Lloyd Group's shares as an engagement gift." "15%?" Malcolm was slightly startled. Obviously he didn't expect it.

"He wants too much. It seems that he doesn't have too many tasks to carry. | will go talk to him." "Forget it." Lyra took his arm, "The engagement has nothing to do with bureau. It's not good for you to pressure him as his boss." She continued, "I guess the engagement won't be announced tonight, so I'll try again in a few days." Malcolm stroked her cheek heartily, "Does it feel bad to be the head of the family now?" "Yes, the whole family needs me to manage. The Lloyd Group also has a group of disobedient old men. Every day, they're waiting for me to make mistakes to recover their patriarchal prestige.” Malcolm hurriedly rubbed her shoulders and massaged them. He approached her ear and said, "Then tonight when we go back, 1 will treat you well. Are you still satisfactory with that lustful dance two days ago?" Lyra's cheeks instantly flushed slightly, and his tantalizing dance that day in bed flashed back in her mind.

It was too lustful to hold back.

Unfortunately, she couldn't have sex with him.

She sighed, "Forget it tonight. My period is not finished yet. You can see but can't do. It's rather torturing." Malcolm nodded, took off his suit jacket and wrapped her slim shoulders, "It's cold at night. You'll get cramps again if you catch a cold." As the two chatted, Keith slowly walked out of the hall. His face looked cold and sullen.

Lyra caught a glimpse of his face and asked, "Keith, what did you talk to Shane about?" "lI want to see Melissa. He won't allow it." Lyra reassured him, "Forget it. After all, we are in the Callahan family. Shane is Melissa's real brother. If it comes to trouble, Melissa will be in dilemma." His expression was still solemn, "Rara, | always feel something is not quite right, but | can't tell.” Not being able to see Melissa made him feel out of sorts.

Lyra and Malcolm looked at each other, both with serious expressions, but they didn't say anything.

The garden of Callahan Residence was elegantly decorated with twinkling lights.

Guests were coming in one by one.

Half an hour later, the garden was bustling. There were many dressed-up people from powerful families and honourable nobility.

Lyra, Malcolm and Keith sat by a same table. They drank aromatic red wine, and Lyra had a glass of warm milk because her period had not finished and she needed breastfeeding.

Because of Melissa's star status, Shane invited several of the biggest international reporters, as well as a popular female idol group to dance and perform on stage.

After a hot dance, the atmosphere was getting more and more active.

Shane took the stage and gave the official speech thanking the guests for coming based on a pre-written script.

Keith waited but did not see Melissa. And he was getting more and more anxious.

On the stage, Shane was still speaking, giving a brief overview of Melissa's difficult life in the orphanage, and putting all the blame on the kidnappers. There was no word about the Callahan family's faults.

"Tonight, in addition to celebrating my Melissa's homecoming, there is another happy new to announce together so that we can all have a good time." Shane spoke with a slight pause. His facial expression was mysterious, "Just now, | have agreed to the Barker family's engagement request. Half a month later, Melissa and Mr. Ashton will hold an engagement ceremony at CloudTop Hotel ..." With these words, the atmosphere at Lyra's table froze on the spot.

Shane said something formal later but Keith did not listen. Only the words that Melissa would be engaged with Ashton were in his mind.
