Chapter 40 The Debt
"My dad's debt has already been taken over by Prosperity Financial Group. Where did you guys come from?" Just now in the bank, she had already seen the information that Nore had sent her. Prosperity Financial Group was a money-inducing company that had risen a few years ago. This company had been engaged in some illegal business in the early years, but now it had already been washed clean. They would not use violence to urge debts. These people in front of her clearly had other motives. While they were not paying attention, Lyra searched her bag with her right hand, took out the modified pliers that she had put in before the race that day, and waved them hard! She raised the modified pliers and pointed at them, "Don't come over!" "She is quite fierce. Brothers, we didn't come here for nothing." "Bro, I heard that she used to work with Brook Villa. She must be very spicy." "That Hank is really a lucky dog. His ex-wife has such a character, and his current wife Alma is also hot." They laughed and said, and their eyes kept glancing at Lyra. Lyra held the modified pliers tightly, trying to restrain her hands from trembling. Her heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst. The yellow-haired leader raised his hand, "Brothers, be gentle later. Remember, you have to be tender to the fairer sex." "Don't come over! Get lost!" Lyra didn't care about anything else. She looked at the weakest one among them and gritted her teeth. She waved her modified pliers and rushed over. She wasn't strong, but she caught him off guard. In addition, she seemed to be risking her life. The gangster was shocked. He did not dodge for a momen and was hit in the stomach by Lyra. He screamed and bent down. Taking advantage of the gap, Lyra ran out desperately. She did not dare to look back and did not dare to stop. Until she saw many shops in front of her, her tears suddenly flowed down. Those people saw Lyra run into the crowd and did not chase after her. Lyra's hands trembled and she squatted in the middle of the commercial street. She sobbed in a low voice and her fingers curled up tightly. Because of the shock, her muscles spasmed.
On the second floor in the distance. Hank stood in front of the French window and his gaze fell on the figure. The phone rang, and he pressed the answer button. There was a slightly low voice of a man on the other side, "The matter has been settled. Those brats don't know the rules. I have already sent someone to teach them a lesson, but they were obviously bribed. Do you want to continue to investigate?" The person who called Hank was Brother Logan. Because he did not like to socialize, he rarely made an appearance in public. All people in this area would give Brother Logan some face. However, the status of the hooligans that had surrounded Lyra was too low. They did not know the rules of that area.
Hank had helped Brother Logan once, so they had some dealings. Keith had entrusted the matter of Lyra to Brother Logan's company. "No need. Thanks for the trouble," said Hank coldly. "Alright, I understand I'll report to you about the debt collecting from time to time. There will definitely be no problem with what you have instructed me to do," said Brother Logan. Although Brother Logan did not know why, with Hank's status, he would actually care so much about his ex-wife who had been divorced? "Mr. Barnwell, Sean has already arrived at the coffee shop downstairs," said Keith after he had negotiated with their partner in business. In other words, Hank had to go over to negotiate the cooperation now. The man's eyes were still fixed on the slender figure. After a long time, he slowly ordered, "Find someone to protect her and ensure her safety. In addition..." Keith lowered his head and listened quietly. "Check if there are any special movements from the Kensley family." "Are you suspecting that the matter of Lyra being entangled by the little punks has something to do with Miss Kensley?" Keith asked in surprise. "I'm sorry, Mr. Barnwell. I was too nosy. I'll give the order immediately." Hank turned around and walked to the lift. He also hoped that it had nothing to do with Alma. However, if the Kensley family had really done something to Lyra behind his back... He had not regarded the Kensley family and their daughter as his family yet. If they interfered in his affairs without telling him, it would break his rules. In addition, Alma had lied to him, so there would really be no need for this marriage to exist.
Keith followed him into the lift. He felt that the atmosphere around him was even more depressing. In his heart, he silently thought, 'Miss Kensley, you must not do anything stupid: On the pedestrian street, Lyra slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and silently told herself in her heart, 'Lyra, don't be afraid.' The most painful period of time in her life had already passed, and now no one could stop her. After Lyra returned home, she was still in shock. She took a hot bath and drank a lot of water, and only then did she feel more comfortable in her chest. The phone rang. She looked at the unknown number and her heart skipped a beat. The call was hung up. A few seconds later, it rang again. Lyra bit the joint of her index finger and slowly pressed the answer button. "Hello, Miss Jones. I am the manager of Prosperity Finance Group. From now on, I will directly be responsible for your debt problems. If anyone tries to chase after your debt in other ways, you can immediately contact me. We will directly deal with those unscrupulous competitors."
Lyra did not speak. "Miss Jones?" "What did you just say? The signal is bad, I didn't hear it clearly." Lyra pressed the recording button quietly. "You mean, if I were to be harassed by those people again, you wil help me deal with them?" "Yes, this is one of our businesses, to ensure the personal safety of the debtors."; Lyra thought for a moment and felt that it was not unreasonable. If something happened to her, no one would pay the debt that the Jones family owed. Perhaps there was also a vicious competition in their line of work. She pursed her lips. "Then have you received the money I sent you today?" "I have already received it. Miss Jones, I hope that you can continue to work hard and repay the debt as soon as possible." Lyra always felt that something was strange. "How much money do I owe you now?" "It's 3,280,000 before interest."
Lyra put dowrt her phone and felt that her life was bleak. Just as she was browsing through the recruitment information online and looking for a job. Nore called, "There is a free dinner party tonight. It's a buffet form. Do you want to come?" Food? Free. Lyra glanced at the empty kitchen. "Give me the address!" At eight that night, Lyra met the secretary at the door of the Lubi family. The other party was dressed in a suit, carrying a branded clothing bag. "Please change into it, Miss Jones." "What is this?" "This is the entrance ticket for this ball" Sean said in a deep voice. If Mrs. Lubi knew that Nore had brought Lyra along, she would probably be furious again.
