Chapter 296 It's OK to break off the engagement, as long as not to marry her
However, Reginald remembered something else and his anger subsided quite a bit.
"Lyra, you don't know. Oscar had saved me when we were was young, so I promised him a few
conditions. He took out the favor thing to beg me this time. I ..."
Lyra wrinkled her eyebrows, "Dad, how much have you secretly helped the Frazier family over the
years? Irene has tried to harm me not once or twice. Your grudge and their favor are offset. You don't
owe the Frazier family anymore."
"In my opinion, if Keith wants to break off the engagement, let him do it. Do you still want him to marry
a malicious woman like Irene so that she can bully me?"
"As for the Frazier family's calamity, you don't have to care about it. This is the Frazier family's own
destiny. If they can not survive, go bankruptcy, liquidation, or they're removed from the rich list, they ask
for it. You have nothing to do with it. "
Reginald listened calmly, thought seriously, and nodded his head in agreement.
"Okay, just do what you say. Irene even tried to harm you. I'm already being kind by not adding fire to
the Frazier family this time."
Lyra smiled with her eyes arched. She agreed to it superficially, but she did not think so in her heart.
Dad and the Frazier family did not owe each other now, but her grudge against Irene, she was afraid,
cannot be resolved. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The Frazier family just waited to face the fierce wind and rain from all directions this time!
She complimented Reginald a few more times, with a sweet voice that managed to ease Reginald's
anger.
Keith stood quietly, looking at the picture of father-daughter happiness in front of him with a cold
expression.
Reginald noticed him who was standing still like a tree, eased his tone and said, "Keith, it's fine if you
want to withdraw, but I don't agree with you marrying that Melissa woman!"
Keith was all shady and defiant when he heard that.
"Are you trying to find me a new fiancée in which rich family? Marriage is for life. I will choose the one I
like. If you still want to dictate my life this time, no way!"
"You! You want to piss me off?"
Reginald's anger, which had only subsided, rose again.
"She is just a little and unknown actress. She grew up in orphanage and is not well educated. Where is
her advantage? Do you want others to laugh me in the back?"
"Advantage?"
Keith was also angry, sneering: "Am I marrying a woman, or buying a commodity? You have calculated
so well, but you insisted on marrying Claudia, a useless woman, despite our objections."
"You are justified to marry your mistress, but I am wrong to marry a woman I like? What is well -match
in your eyes?!"
Reginald pointed at him with a trembling hand, with his chest heaving violently. And he almost can't
breathe.
"Bastard, you!"
If it wasn't for his legs and his wheelchair, Keith would probably have gotten two slaps from him by now.
When he couldn't hit him anyone, Reginald got even angrier and shouted out the door, "Douglas! Go
get a whip to this bastard! Smack him until he admits he's wrong!"
Keith's face was full of defiance, and he began to take the initiative to unbutton and remove his suit.
"It's impossible to admit mistake. You'd better beat me to death today. I'll give you my life! I'll never be
your son again in the next life!"
Since Reginald insisted on the engagement between Keith and Irene more than two years ago, his
relationship with Reginald had been fractious and had not eased up to date.
"You're so unfilial!"
Reginald's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole face was livid with anger.
Douglas hesitated and didn't dare to go, "Take it easy. Mr. Keith he ..."
Reginald glared at him, "Get it! Tie him up and beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
"Don't go!"
Lyra made a sound to stop it and let Douglas leave first.
"Even you are disobeying me?"
Reginald, angry and hurt, looked down at his most beloved daughter at his feet.
"No, dad."
Lyra soothed his violently heaving chest with her hand. Her gentle little hand was like a soft kitten's
paw, smoothing his emotion.
She interceded, "Dad, Keith did speak out of turn just now. He was upset by Irene and didn't mean to
talk back to you, so I apologize for him."
She smiled, and she was glad in her heart.
Fortunately, the elders of the family were still open-minded. They did not establish a similar rule as the
White family, even a whip can't be found out now.
Otherwise, Keith would have been beaten hard today.
Reginald's breathing gradually returned to normal as she soothed him.
But as soon as he looked up, he saw Keith continuing to take off his shirt. He was bare-chested as if he
was provoking his majesty in a naked way.
"Look at him! What's the use of your apologizing for him! He doesn't admit the wrong at all! Ahem ..."
Lyra immediately turned around and glared at Keith, "Keith, stop it. It's so cold. Why don't you put your
clothes on. If you get sick with a cold, the first one to be hurt will definitely be dad!"
She raised her eyebrows frantically at Keith in a gesture.
Keith was stunned, grimaced, and silently began to get dressed.
Reginald grunted arrogantly, "I'm not going to feel sorry for him. He can be sick to death. I don't have
such a son!"
Lyra couldn't hold back a snicker and tried to lighten his mood, "Dad, what are you thinking? If there
was no Keith, wouldn't the order be messed up and you wouldn't have me as a sweet little baby girl!"
"And yes ..." Reginald's tone weakened, "then for your sake, let him go."
Lyra was happy and knew that he was giving Keith a way out, "Keith, Dad is no longer angry with you,
so why don't you thank dad!"
Keith didn't say anything.
Seeing that Reginald was about to get angry again, Lyra rushed ahead and said, "Dad is a loving
father, never scolded u. You should not get angry with Keith this time. Maybe in a few days, Keith will
figure it out."
Reginald was soothed by her compliments. His face gradually softened and he spoke in a serious
manner.
"Keith, you must remember I will not harm you as your father. I'm older than you and I have more
experiences than you. It is for your own good that I let you marry a woman who has similar family
background."
Keith grunted contemptuously and was about to continue his dislike when Lyra was quick to cover his
mouth.
"Dad, just leave Keith to me. I'll help you convince him!"
She tugged Keith's arm and headed out the door, smiling sweetly at Reginald, "Then, daddy, we'll leave
first!"
...
Keith was dragged hard and out of the hall.
His breath was cold and he made his position clear before Lyra could say anything, "You insisted on
marrying into the Melvin family in the first place, because you didn't want your life to be arranged, and
neither do I. This is not negotiable. I will never be at his mercy."
Lyra blinked her starry eyes, "Who said I had to talk you into it?"
Keith: "Then you just said you were going to be his lobbyist."
Lyra tutted and spoke in a serious voice, "My silly Keith, dad is in a fit of anger. Anything you say to him
is just asking for trouble. You want him to promise you to marry Melissa. Be methodical. Take your
time,"
"You have to let him know Melissa is a good girl with a beautiful heart. Not the kind of scheming girl
who tries to marry into a rich family. Think about how to use a circuitous way to successfully make him
nod. That's what you can do!"
