Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 94 Fight Head-On!

Hank also wanted to use this banquet to talk to the bosses of several companies, but if everyone's attention was always on his private life, it would be difficult to start.

He watched Lyra's back and considered how to break the current deadlock. But he was suddenly glared at by her. The man pressed his eyebrows down and a touch of heaviness flashed through his eyes.

"Hank, what are you looking at?" Alma noticed that he had been absent-minded the entire time. She followed his line of sight and looked in the direction where Lyra was standing, which made her very uncomfortable. "Nothing," Hank said lightly. "I want to eat something. Let's go over there." Alma deliberately pointed at the dining table on the other side.

Hank nodded. Just as the two of them turned around, a business partner, Mr. Chen, walked over. "Mr. Barnwell, about the case we talked about last time at the summit, do you want to deepen it in detail?" The other party came with sincerity. Hank also had this intention, and immediately let go of Alma's hand. "I'll go to work first." As he spoke, he was about to leave. However, the direction they were heading to was exactly where Lyra was. Alma's heart tightened, and she immediately wrapped her arms around his. "Hank, can you let me accompany you?"

Although they had a close relationship, it was still a business secret. More importantly, Alma knew nothing about business sales. Hank's eyes were cold. Due to the occasion, he leaned over to her ear and said "It's not suitable. I'll go find you later." Alma could only smile and let go. "The relationship between the two of you is really good." Mr. Chen laughed and joked. Hank did not respond and made a gesture of invitation.

Alma stood where she was and bit her lips hard. She was only Hank's female companion! No one called her Mrs. Barnwell at all. This feeling of being ignored made her feel terrible. The mobile phone in her handbag vibrated. She looked at the annotation name, Terry.

With a frown, she walked into the bathroom behind. Alma told him that she could not join Hank's circle, and Terry quickly gave her a trick. Moreover, it could also invisibly alienate the relationship between Lyra and Hank.

Ten minutes later.

Nore was called away and Lyra was eating happily alone when she heard someone talking about business on the sofa not far behind. It was not strange at all on this kind of occasion.

But this person's voice was particularly harsh as if she had deliberately said it for her to hear. It made her very uncomfortable and the steak in her mouth instantly lost its taste.

"Hank, I know about this product. The Jones Group had done a patent case before, but their company's technology was too poor. In less than a month, they were sued by their partners. It seems that they lost several million yuan." Lyra's eyes darkened, her fingers tightly clasped her palms. That was not the case at all!

It was that cooperation party who had gone too far. Not only did they take away the funds, but they also deceived her father. Later, the court had already re-judged and returned the remaining money to the Jones family. At that time, not many people knew about this matter.

Hank was one of them who did know. Was he the one who had told Alma? Lyra's eyes were as cold as ice. Was it not enough for him to have destroyed her family? Had he told Alma the story of her family too? No matter how calm Lyra was, she could not suppress the anger in her heart and turned to walk over. Alma continued to say."I think the Jones Group should have closed down long ago and given up the marke share to a more capable company." She completely repeated what Terry told her. She was happy that she had remembered so many 'lines' for the first time. She did not notice the expression of Hank and Mr. Chen at all. Originally, the cooperation between the two of them had been very smooth, but after being stirred up by Alma and mentioning the bankrupt Jones Group, Mr. Chen's expression changed again and again. Now, the scale of his company was not as big as the previous Jones Group. Was Alma implying that Hank did not like a cooperative partner like him at all? Moreover, Mr. Chen had a good relationship with Drake before, so he could not laugh

at this time.

"It seems that Mrs. Barnwell has some understanding about the business world."

This sentence directly made Alma's cheekbone rise to the sky.

She was stunned and held Hank's arm with a smile. "This is because Hank..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.

"The business world is always changing. There are countless successful companies which went bankrupt overnight."

Lyra's light words attracted everyone's attention.

On such an occasion, no one dared to confront Hank face to face.

She just had to be the first.

When Nore heard the news, he immediately ran over, but halfway, he was stopped by Xu Ya.

"Brother Nore, if you go now, not only will you not be able to help Sister Lyra, but you will also damage her reputation. I think you should go later."

"Get out of the way," Nore said.

"Today is Aunt's birthday. If you get into a conflict with Hank because of a woman, where will the Lubi family put its face?" Xu Ya pursed her lips and whispered. Nore had no choice but to stop.

He knew that the company was cooperating with the Barnwell group recently. If he rushed over like this, it would indeed be difficult for his father. If they misunderstood Lyra because of this, it would be terrible. Seeing that Nore's movements had slowed down, Xu Ya smiled. "Let's go over there and wait."

Lyra's words successfully made the atmosphere even more awkward. "Hank, she curses you," Alma gritted her teeth. "You didn't marry a female star, but a brainless repeater. She was afraid that you wouldn't understand what I said, so she had to translate it for you," Lyra said with a laugh.

Hank's expression turned ugly as soon as she finished speaking.

"Hank, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't mean that," Alma explained.

Hank glanced at her and wished he could seal Alma's mouth. Alma quickly lowered her head and stopped talking. Unlike her, Lyra was not afraid of Hank at all. She just stood there and stared at Hank's face with her cold eyes. "The Jones family was falsely accused at that time not because of the quality of the product, but because it was framed. If Mr. Barnwell didn't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, I think the Barnwell group will repeat the Jones Group's failure in the future."

Her words had two meanings.

On the surface, she was cursing that Hank would go bankrupt sooner or later.

Everyone around sucked in a breath of cold air. It seemed that this Lyra was really going to go all out and fight Hank to the end. However, their identities were too different. Everyone felt that it was easier for Hank to get rid of Lyra than to pinch an ant to death.
