After Divorce I Am A Billionaire

Chapter 92

Leon was confused for a second.

A nearby staff member who knew Lyra explained, "This is the agency director of Angle Group."

"So it's just a director. I thought it was the owner of Angle Group who was here."

The Leon’s people roared with laughter.

Lyra, not shying away from the scene, walked over to Cody to make sure he wasn't hurt.

Fortunately, although this little brat lost the momentum today, he was not so passive to be beaten.

After confirming that Cody was intact, Lyra walked directly to a chair and sat down as if no one was there.

She was really tired and can sit and negotiate while never standing up.

But this act of hers was completely disrespectful in Leon's eyes.

"Your artist pissed me off, the contract is questionable, and this is the attitude you use to beg me?"

Lyra laughed, "Who says I'm here to beg you?"

Leon was flabbergasted.

Lyra changed to a comfortable position and sat down. Cody, seeing that she seemed tired, stood behind her obediently and rubbed her shoulders.

She enjoyed Cody's attentive service for a short while before continuing, "I'm here to ask for compensation."

"What! Compensation?"

Leon almost laughed out loud, "I didn't ask Angle Group for the set damage fee and lost work fee. Why do you have to ask me for compensation?"

Lyra cleared her throat, "You said there was a problem with the contract you signed with Angle Group and that's why you're holding Cody for extra hours, right?"

"That's right."

"But the contract was signed by the person in charge of you after repeatedly confirming it. You are not forced by Angle Group. Since it was confirmed before signing, it proves that there is no problem with this contract, and now you are actively picking trouble with the contract.Who is trying to exploit the legal loopholes?"

"You!"

Leon didn't expect her to be so articulate and her tone was sharp, and was about to retort when Lyra took over the conversation.

"The artist's filming hours were contracted. You deliberately didn't let him go and tried to make him free labor.He didn't agree, and you threatened to destroy him."

"Not only shameless, but also committed the crime of physical threat and illegal detention. Angle Group's legal department is not weak. Do you want to try?"

Leon tried to interject several times in the middle, but Lyra's impermeable words were blocked tightly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mr. Cunningham's fame in the film industry is indeed very considerable, but unfortunately, I don't see it in the Angle Group. We won't shoot your film!"

She got up and took Cody with her to leave.

Leon was angry, "You have to think carefully! You're the one who broke the contract, and you have to pay a huge amount of money for breach of contract!"

Lyra turned back and glared at him, "Then I'm sorry. I won't give you a penny, instead, just wait until you lose your money!"

What?

Not only did he break the contract, he had to pay for it!?

She had got a lot of nerve!

"Aren't you afraid that if I make a mess of things online? You'll still want the industry reputation of Angle Group’s artists?"

Lyra sneered, "Don't worry. I have already informed the legal department to sue you. You slandered and detained the artist. I proposed to break the contract. That is reasonable. If you don't believe me, you can try!"

After finishing, Lyra was too lazy to further nonsense, pulling Cody and left.

Leon’s people wanted to stop them, but was blocked by Kellie, "She is very busy. She doesn’t have time to continue. Please wait for the court summons. If you have any problem, you can communicate with the legal department!"

Lyra returned to the car and let the droopy Cody sit the passenger seat.

The young man lowered his head, like a puppy that made a mistake, without the usual spirited and unbeatable manner.

Lyra was puzzled. It was only been a while since she hadn’t seen him. What was wrong with him?

"Did your dad punish you again? Did he hit you too hard? Let me see."

She was going to tug on Cody's pants.

Cody blushed, and quickly pushed her hand back, "No! I'm at least an adult. I don't want to lose face."

Lyra observed his expression and remembered that all the way back to the car he was walking quite smoothly, and it was not like he had been beaten.

Besides, this little brat had been busy shooting recently. His attitude was quite serious, and she can not find any fault.

"You are known as a little devil but this time you can actually suffer losses in the hands of a scum director like Leon. What is wrong with you?"

Cody was distracted again, and muttered in a small voice, "I'm sorry, I just don't think you like that kind of me ... so I've been trying to change. Lyra, please give me more time. I can definitely become what you like."

Lyra listened carefully to his words, shocked, yet disagreeing.

"Why do you want to change? Is it worth it to you to do this just because I like it?"

Cody nodded, and there was determination in his eyes, "As long as you'll like it, it's worth it."

"But I don't like it."

She wrinkled her eyebrows and her tone was very serious, "Everyone is a unique being. There is no need to deliberately change yourself for anyone and also make yourself humble.You can only show your best personality if you are serious about being yourself."

When she fell in love with Melvin, she naively thought that changing herself and giving everything she had would make Melvin fall in love with her.

What did she get in the end?

It was humiliating and mocking. And it was heartbreaking and tormenting.

However, for the all painful memories, she will soon take revenge against that man!

Because of her own experience, she didn't want her friends around her to get hurt again for this kind of thing.

Cody didn't say anything, and his expression was still mournful.

Lyra secretly sighed that he was still too young. Even if she persuade, she was afraid he can not understand much.

So she had to offer to have dinner with him to relax him properly.

Cody was still a child at heart, and soon he was happy again, with the glow in his eyes restored.

After some elaborate disguises, the two went to Frayton's liveliest barbecue restaurant on Ninth Street.

After a busy day today, Lyra was exhausted and fell back to sleep after returning to the villa.

Keith's heart went out to his sister and instructed Connie to quietly turn off the alarm clock at her bedside.

Lyra slept until noon, and after some washing up, she went straight to work at Angle Group.

Not long after she sat down, Garrett came in.

After a few brief greetings, Garrett got straight to the point.

"I've been researching the Frayton marketplace for the past few days and found a small real estate firm.That would be a good chance for you."

He said it as he handed Lyra the company's information.

It was a company that was about to file for bankruptcy protection. Because of its small size, almost no one in the market knew about it, and the owner had a clear background.

It was indeed perfect for her to buy it and run it quietly.

"Thank you. It really helped me a lot."

Garrett blushed slightly, "I don't know exactly what you want to do, but as long as I can help."

...

Lyra went ahead and bought the company under her name the same day, becoming the largest shareholder and owner behind the scenes.

When it came time to sign the agreement, the former boss was dumbfounded.

"Although I don't know the reason why you insisted on buying the company, what is the reason why you didn't change the registered name and didn't let the public know that you are the owner of the company?"
