Chapter 782 Teaching Lyra a Lesson
Once again, they were stuck in a stalemate.
Alaric didn't argue for himself anymore.
In fact.
It seemed he had never argued for himself.
After all, there was no reason to argue.
Cecilia's words were hurtful, but they were true.
So at that moment, Alaric just changed the subject, "Take good care of yourself."
Cecilia didn't respond.
She just kept a mocking smile on her lips.
Alaric stood up.
He said to George, "Make sure she eats well."
"Yes, Mr. Whitaker," George replied respectfully.
He always felt that Alaric had a lot of helplessness.
Definitely not the shameless person he appeared to be now.
Alaric left.
He finally fulfilled Cecilia's wish and left.
Cecilia wouldn't even give him the chance to have a meal together.
He walked out of the hospital room.
The suppressed emotions could no longer be disguised.
His eyes flickered slightly as he saw Lyra, who hadn't really left.
Lyra was unwilling to leave just like that. Whether she was wronged by Cecilia or driven away by Alaric, her pride wouldn't allow it.
So she came back after leaving.
She had to explain things clearly.
She had to expose Cecilia's conspiracy!
Seeing Alaric come out, she didn't think twice and grabbed his arm, trying to tell him what had happened again.
But just as she touched his sleeve.
Alaric slapped Lyra hard across the face.
Lyra was stunned.
Alaric actually hit her?
How dare he hit her?
How dare he treat her like this?
Her eyes turned red, and she glared at Alaric, shouting, "Alaric, you actually hit me! Aren't you afraid I'll tell my father? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Juniper? Alaric, how could you treat me like this..."
Lyra's tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Alaric just looked at Lyra coldly, seeing her on the verge of collapse, he said coldly, "If you dare to hurt Cecilia again, I'll kill you!"
"I didn't, Cecilia fell on her own, she framed me on purpose!" Lyra retorted, frantically.
"If Cecilia says so, then it is."
"Alaric!" Lyra screamed.
She was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
Why was Alaric targeting her?
Why did whatever Cecilia say become the truth!
"Don't appear in front of Cecilia again, she doesn't want to see you," Alaric continued coldly.
Lyra cried and laughed, truly furious to the point of wanting to kill, "Cecilia says she doesn't want to see me, so I should disappear from her sight, disappear from everywhere she can see, right? Why! Why should I avoid Cecilia, who is she to make me do this!"
Lyra's eyes tightened.
Her neck was suddenly grabbed hard.
Lyra stared wide-eyed at Alaric.
She couldn't believe he would really want to kill her.
She couldn't believe he would really go this far.
Her eyes were filled with anger, but at this moment, more with fear.
For the first time, she deeply felt that she couldn't afford to offend this Alaric, or more accurately, she couldn't afford to offend Cecilia!
She just felt it getting harder and harder to breathe.
Just when she thought Alaric would really strangle her to death, Alaric suddenly let go.
As he let go, Alaric pushed Lyra hard, directly knocking her to the ground!
Lyra fell heavily to the ground, even harder than Cecilia had fallen today.
She kept gasping for air, her whole body seemed to lose all energy, lying limp on the ground.
Her heart filled with fear and immense hatred.
But she didn't dare to vent it!
Alaric looked coldly at Lyra on the ground, his eyes glanced at the hospital room door that had been closed.
Cecilia had heard the noise and had George open the door.
When the door opened, she saw Alaric's violent scene.
Even George couldn't bear to watch, knowing Lyra's status, if Alaric really strangled Lyra, he wouldn't be able to explain to the Monroe family.
However, Cecilia just watched coldly from the side.
He believed that what he could understand, Cecilia could also understand.
Cecilia knew very well that Alaric was venting her anger, yet she remained indifferent.
She didn't even make a sound.
After it was over, she had him close the hospital room door.
As if she was just watching a play.
Once it was over, it was done.
Alaric looked in the direction of the door, remained silent for a moment, and left.
Lyra stayed on the ground, her body trembling, constantly trembling.
She clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her extreme anger at what she had experienced.
She had to get revenge, she had to get revenge!
At that moment.
The hospital room door opened again.
After Alaric left, Cecilia came out again.
She looked down at Lyra from above.
Lyra looked disheveled, she shouted angrily at Cecilia, "Are you satisfied?"
Cecilia nodded, "Yes, quite satisfied."
"Cecilia, you bitch!" Lyra cursed fiercely, "Don't be too happy! I will make you pay for framing me today!"
"Whether I framed you or not, as long as I say it, Alaric will do anything for me!"
"You!"
"You think Alaric doesn't know I'm pretending?" Cecilia interrupted Lyra, not giving her a chance to speak.
Lyra glared at Cecilia fiercely.
"He knows, but he still wants to teach you a lesson for me, don't you understand why?"
"Enough, Cecilia! Do you think Alaric will gain anything from this? Do you think my dad will let him go! Cecilia, do you really think Alaric can cover the sky with one hand now?"
"Let me tell you, at least half of the power is in my dad's hands, if it really comes to a break, the country will fall into war, and you will be the culprit!" Lyra shouted madly.
Cecilia gave a cold smile, "Do you really think you're important enough that Tomas would start a war for you?"
Lyra was stunned.
One sentence left her speechless.
Being in a noble family, she knew very well how weak an individual's power was.
No matter how bad it got, she wouldn't dare to really affect Tomas's plans!
Cecilia looked at Lyra's expression, thinking that Lyra wasn't stupid, just too self-important to accept many blows.
She said, "Actually, we're on the same side."
"Don't give me that, I won't believe anything you say now! I won't be framed by you again!" Lyra said through gritted teeth.
Anger, immense anger, truly unrestrained.
Cecilia ignored Lyra's emotions and said, "Don't you want me to leave Alaric? Well, I want to too."
