Chapter 392: Where Did This Lunatic Come From
"Who are you? Lyra?"
"It's me, Thora, help me!"
Thora spoke with a lack of patience, asking, "In what way did you come to be inside that place? What actions did you take?"
Lyra didn't dare tell the truth!
She immediately used the excuse she had prepared.
"Thora, I went to a hotel with my boyfriend, and we ran into Catherine... You know she's always had it out for me and got me kicked out of school!"
Thora's eyes lit up.
"You mean Catherine is the one who got you locked up?"
"Yes! When she saw my boyfriend, she tried to hit on him, but my boyfriend only has eyes for me and completely ignored her. She got so angry that she had the police take me away... You know I can't afford to mess with rich people like her!"
Thora felt a surge of joy.
She didn't expect Catherine to be that kind of person!
With such a perfect fiancé like Alexander, she still had her eyes on someone else's boyfriend.
If Alexander knew about this, he would definitely see Catherine's true colors!
She couldn't bear to see Alexander being deceived. No matter who he chose as his girlfriend, at least it shouldn't be a woman with such poor morals.
"Alright, I'll have a lawyer come find you. Just keep your head down for the next few days."
"Okay, Thora!"
Thora stored her mobile device, smoothed the fabric of her gown, and proceeded in the direction of Catherine and Alexander.
She took a deep breath and spread her arms wide, blocking Catherine and Alexander's path!
Alexander said coldly, "Annie."
Annie quickly hurried to the spot. "I apologize, Mr. Howard, I was not aware that there was a person positioned before you. I will remove the obstacle without delay."
"Half a month's salary deducted."
Salary was a working person's lifeline!
She wouldn't be able to buy her bag this month!
Annie became angry immediately. Which ordinary individual would have the courage to come near upon observing that a group of security personnel were accompanying from the rear?
Was this woman out of her mind?
Annie gritted her teeth and grabbed Thora's arm, ready to leave!
"Work is annoying enough without running into crazy people."
Thora didn't want to leave!
"Mr. Howard, I'm Thora, daughter of the White family from Silverpeak City!"
Alexander frowned. "Don't know you."
Catherine asked curiously, "The White family?"
Seeing she seemed somewhat interested, Alexander explained gently.
"Those prominent households located in Silverpeak City do not engage in any commercial interactions with the Howard family."
Translation: Alexander didn't think much of them!
Thora got a bit anxious. "I'm your uncle's niece..."
"Your uncle's family?"
Alexander shook his head.
"Never mind my uncle's family, even if you were my aunt's niece..."
His initial intention was to state that not even the daughter of Yasmin's sibling would receive any preferential handling, yet while he was speaking, it occurred to him that Yasmin currently did in fact possess a female relative of that kind!
It was fine to say this when Juniper wasn't around, but now it really wasn't appropriate.
Meeting Catherine's somewhat teasing gaze, Alexander coughed twice.
"My aunt's niece would naturally be a distinct case, as she is my own relative. In what way could the White household be considered equal to my cousin?"
The implication was that Thora was completely unimportant.
Catherine laughed softly!
After being together for a while, she seemed to particularly enjoy seeing Alexander embarrassed. Even a slip of the tongue like this made her find him quite adorable!
As chairman of the Howard Group, Alexander certainly had nothing to do with being cute.
But in front of someone they like, even the most mature men are childish!
Seeing how close they were, Thora's heart ached a little.
She recognized that she was not a suitable match for Alexander. In terms of family standing, physical appearance, or talent, Alexander seemed to her like a peak that was impossible to climb.
But in her eyes, Catherine shouldn't be worthy of Alexander either!
At the very least, it should be someone like Quinn who could stand on her own in some field!
Thora pressed her teeth against her lower lip. "Mr. Howard, she is not a decent individual! Do not allow her to trick you! On one occasion, she even attempted to entice the romantic partner of a person I know while at a lodging establishment!"
The scene became somewhat awkward.
Annie covered her face.
"What a nutcase, scarily crazy."
Alexander remained expressionless.
Thora's eyes grew larger. "Mr. Howard, she behaves in such an indecent manner — does this not make you upset? A female with such low ethical standards is not worthy to be positioned next to you!"
Alexander's gaze fell on Catherine beside him.
He curved his lips slightly, his eyes seeming to hold countless stars, shining brightly. Just a faint smile was dazzling enough, leaving Thora across from him a bit mesmerized.
Unfortunately, this smile was for Catherine!
Alexander said softly, "It doesn't matter. As long as Catherine is willing to be with me, I don't care how many men are around her."
Thora was speechless.
Annie nearly choked on her own spit and quickly ducked off to the side, bracing herself against the wall to stifle her laughter.
Alexander really went all out.
Although they knew Catherine wasn't that kind of person - forget other people's boyfriends, Catherine had been indifferent even to Alexander before.
But to Thora, who was unaware of the truth, Alexander's loyal and self-sacrificing words were clearly quite difficult to listen to.
Thora was indeed very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Howard, how can you be so foolish? She's not a good person! She even insulted Quinn before! My friend was her classmate, and just because she was jealous of my friend, she got her expelled from school!"
In Thora's eyes, Catherine's misdeeds were too numerous to list.
Catherine chimed in.
"Yes, that's terrible. So what?"
"So... so you should leave Mr. Howard! Don't taint such a good person!"
Catherine said calmly, "I leave him, and you'll be with him?"
Thora's face flushed deep red on the spot, yet she waved her hands frantically. "No... I'm not good enough. Only someone like Quinn is fit to marry him! You're nowhere near worthy!"
Catherine raised an eyebrow and smiled.
This Thora was just too stupid.
Anyone who could be led around by Lyra's few words clearly didn't have much going on upstairs.
If Lyra weren't a Hong Kong or Taiwan resident, she would have had a hard time getting into Imperial University.
Catherine glanced at Alexander.
"So, I'm so bad - aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?"
"Whatever Catherine does to me, I'm looking forward to it."
Thora glanced at Alexander's stern face, stomped her feet in annoyance, then spun around with her face in her hands and ran away.
Alexander must have been deceived by Catherine. She had to go tell Yasmin the truth.
Only if the rest of the Howard family knew Catherine's true colors could they save Alexander from his predicament!
Watching her flee in panic, Catherine smiled mockingly. "You really are devoted. What if I really did find another man?"
Alexander chuckled softly.
"Then I'd lock you up, keep you confined, so you could only stay by my side for the rest of your life, unable to go anywhere! As for other men, just beat them to death."
Catherine smiled and took Alexander's hand, threading her fingers through his.
"What a coincidence - if you found someone else, I'd do the same thing!"
