Chapter 475 Withdrawing from the marriage; Shane gets angry
In the hall, Shane put the cane back into the long brocade box, and his eyes became more and more
gloomy as he remembered Lyra using his sister and taking Melissa away.
Next day.
Lyre Spiti.
Keith stayed up all night, sitting at the head of the bed and watching over Melissa.
The doctor had examined her. She was so weak that it took two sedatives to stop her madness, but at
the same time, the two sedatives put her to sleep for the whole night.
The wound on her wrist had been medicated and bandaged by Keith.
Keith looked at her haggard, pale, and sleeping face, and grasped her palm to sp it firmly in his
fingers.
Persuading her to take back her identity as the Cahan family''s daughter was the worst decision he
had ever made in his life, and no matter what he gave, it seemed that he could not make up for the
damage Melissa had suffered in the Cahan family.
When she came to her senses, he would ept whatever she wanted to punish him.
His eyes were red. His heart was aching, and he was silently grieving.
The whole room had an air of despair for a while.
That was, until a phone call interrupted his grief.
It was Ashton.
The moment the phone was connected, Ashton hurriedly said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Keith, I have thought it
over. I am willing to withdraw the marriage contract from Melissa, but I may have to take two days to
find a suitable reason to talk to Shane. Can you first help me to deal with the online news? "
Keith lowered his face, "Things aren''t even done and you want me to help with you family''s mess.
Ashton Barker, do you take me for a fool?"
"No! Mr. Keith, you misunderstood. I just ..."
Keith did not want to listen to his exnation,but directly gave an ultimatum, "By noon today, I want to
hear the Barker family and the Cahan family withdrawal news. If you are still dragging, I will let Lyra
cancel all the cooperation with the Barker Group in hand. Barker Group will dere bankruptcy in a few
days. Do you want to try it?"
Once the Lloyd Group took the lead in isting the Barker Group, other groups would certainly follow
the trend and humiliate the Barker Group. If with no cooperation, the hotel business was also in
decline, and the Barker Group simply could notst a few days.
Threatening Ashton in this way, Keith was not the least bit defeated.
He was a forty-something middle-aged old man. Being randy, he had been widowed for several times.
It was said that his wives died of disease, but the real cause of death was unknown. He had hidden it
extremely well.
Obviously there was some unknown quirk.
He was such a scum, but thought about his Melissa. When he was going to let the Barker Group lose
billions of dors, he had been very kind enough.
"Mr. Keith, Mr. Keith, you ..."
Ashton, who was on the other end of the phone, wanted to say something else, but Keith cut off the
phone and cked out his contact information, not wanting to talk a word with him.
In fact, his threats were effective.
Ashton could no longer get through and realized that Keith had pulled the plug on him, so it was clear
that Keith was really, really angry.
He immediately called Shane, and half an hourter, he was on his way to Cahan Residence in a
hurry.
For Ashton, no more wives for life was okay. After all, he could go to the club to find prostitutes.
But the Barker Group absolutely cannot copse!
The Barker Group was his life, and was as important as his penis!

When Ashton arrived at the Cahan Residence in a hurry, Shane was in his study dealing with
business and asked the housekeeper to take him to the parlor for a moment.
Then he sat here for an hour.
Ashton was on pins and needles, sweating furiously with nerves.
He kept looking at his watch. It was almost Eleven o''clock and Shane still wasn''ting to see him. If
he waited like this without any confirmation, he would be finished if the Lloyd Group really did
something to him.
"Please go and rush Mr. Shane again. I really have something very urgent that I need to discuss with
Mr. Shane!"
The housekeeper had already gone to remind him for five or six times. Since Shane came backst
night, his mood had been very bad. If he reminded him for a few more times, he was afraid he would
make Shane angry.
In response, the housekeeper was so abashed that he could only bow and say, "Please wait a moment.
Mr. Shane will be down soon after he finishes the business at hand."
Ashton had no choice but to keep waiting.
The he waited for another half hour.
Shane came downstairs at a leisurely pace at half past Eleven.
Because Malcolm suspended his work at the bureau, he did not wear a military uniform today, but a
simple shirt and pants, which was very rare to see. And he looked like he was more approachable than
before.
"Why do youe over today? Do you want to see Melissa?"
Ashton first looked at his watch again.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
As it was noon, he didn''t have time to exchange pleasantries with Shane and went straight to the point,
"Mr. Shane, I''m here today to cancel my engagement with your sister.
Shane''s face changed quickly and his eyes looked gloomy, "Cancel the engagement?"
"Right." Ashton nodded cautiously and wiped the thin sweat from his forehead.
"The problem with the withdrawal is on me. I will issue an announcement to tell everyone that it is my
fault. And the previous gift will not need to be refunded aspensation to the Cahan Group for the
loss. And you are about to suffer because of the withdrawal."
He kept looking at his watch and got up immediately after he finished, "I have already decided this
matter. Today I''m here to inform you. I still have some business, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he bowed towards Shane with an apologetic look and left the room with quickly.
The moment when he walked out, the door was not even closed, and Ashton heard a loud popping
sound from inside, the sound of something falling.
He shuddered in fear and cold sweat kept breaking out.
But he couldn''t care less now. He had to hold on to the Lloyd family, the big protector for him.
Thinking of this, he walked faster. Seeing that it was about to be twelve o''clock, he informed the group''s
public rtions department to release the news that the president of the Barker Group had withdrawn
the engagement with the Cahan Group''s fifth daughter in the car on the way back.

Shane was in the parlor, throwing a big tantrum.
A whole set of expensive tea sets was falling to pieces.
"Lyra Lloyd! Keith Lloyd! Malcolm White!" They always spoiled his fun!
He gritted his teeth and his gaze was sharp as a knife.
The housekeeper dared not go forward but whispered far away, "Mr. Shane, the Barker family gave a
lot of gift money, but he is also willing to take the initiative to assume all the responsibility of withdrawal.
Our group will not have a particrlyrge loss. We earn the gift money for nothing."
That was a valid point, and it was true by analyzing in terms of interest.
Shane''s anger subsided a lot. He sat on the sofa and was still thinking about this matter.
"The Barker family wants to withdraw, so just let it do it. Since there is nothing to lose, the priority now
is to solve Melissa."
Although she was not conscious now and cannot tell the secrets of the Cahan family for the time
being, with Malcolm and Lyra around, there would be a desperate attempt to find a way to cure
Melissa.
Melissa, who was staying over there, was always a variable and a ticking time bomb.
After a moment of deliberation, he instructed his housekeeper, "Get some men to stand guard at the
entrance to Lyre Spiti and the entrance to the National Investigation Bureau. Focus on where Malcolm
White ces Melissa."
"Yes, Mr. Shane."
Shane''s cold eyes narrowed slightly, "Once find signs that she''s awake, preemptively find a way to get
her killed at all costs."
The housekeeper was stunned, "Mr. Shane, Miss Melissa is your real sister."
Shane looked calm, with little emotion.
"All variables that would affect the interests of my family are not worthy of a soft heart, even if they are
rtives."
