Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 372 Unexpected Invitation

As soon as Lyra entered the room, she heard Hank's voice from behind her. "Wait a minute."

"I know you don't want to talk to me about personal matters, so let's talk about business." He caught up with her in a few steps and calmed his breathing. "Hank, if I knew that you were such a pestering person before I got married, I might not have agreed to your proposal." Lyra sighed.

"It has long been over, understand?"

In her opinion, only directly refusing was the wisest way to deal with his pestering. The door closed, and Hank turned around helplessly. She was talking and laughing with Xuanze, and she had such a cold look when with him. Perhaps, he should really let it go. The rest of the meeting went very smoothly. The Barnwell group had other urgent matters to deal with. Hank had been in the room all the time and did not see anyone. Lyra heard Su Yuan mention this and did not take it to heart. That night, the video of her being interviewed at the TV station was posted online, and at the same time, she received the news from the overseas design college that she had applied to. "Miss Jones, if you are still interested in jewelry design, you are very welcome to come to our college for a half-year exchange study." When Lyra saw this news, she almost shouted out in excitement. How much she had hoped for such an opportunity in the past! Even now, she was still very tempted. Perhaps, she could give it a try again. "Ms. Jones, are you really going to study abroad for design studies? Then the company..." On one hand, Su Yuan was happy for Lyra, but on the other hand, she felt very disappointed.

After all, now was the time when the company needed Lyra most.

If she were to leave for half a year, she might not be able to hold on to the current situation.

"Don't worry, I don't have this idea at the moment. Although this is indeed good news, it is too late for me." Lyra looked at Su Yuan and smiled. She was no longer the one who could be carefree and only think about herself.

"Ms. Jones..." Su Yuan had complicated emotions in her eyes. She looked at Lyra for a while, as if she had something to say. "Don't think too much. I just want to share it with you. Alright, go and rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow." Su Yuan nodded and left Lyra's room. Just as Su Yuan left, there was another knock on the door. Lyra frowned subconsciously. It was not Hank, but an employee of the Barnwell group. "Ms. Jones, there is something here. Vice President Barnwell asked me to give it to you." As soon as Lyra took it, the employee turned and left. She shook the box and closed the door. The box was not big. When the lid was opened, there was nothing inside. Other than a few old photos, there was a handwritten contract.

The words written on it were heart-piercing.

"Took the newborn baby girl away from the nurse Chen at Linjiang Town Hospital." The name of Lachlan was clearly on it! Lyra held the piece of paper, her fingers trembling, and she immediately dialed Huaien's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Huaien asked with deep meaning, "I am one of the people who knew what happened back then. I have long wanted to tell you about this matter." "Who, on the earth, sold Alma?"

Her biological parents would never have done such a thing. When she was a child, she had indeed heard her family say that when her mother gave birth to her, it was difficult for her to give birth. She had obviously two children, but in the end, only one went back to the Jones family with her mother. At that time, a lot of things happened in that small town. Her mother was bedridden for half a year ever since. It was unknown where the child had gone.

It turned out that it was not an accident, but someone sold her.

Would a nurse from a town hospital have had the guts to do that? Even in that era, once the matter was exposed, not to mention going to jail, there would be even more

serious consequences.

There must be someone behind this.

"It's Hank's father."

"What?"

"I know you don't want to believe this fact, but it is true. If you don't believe it, you can take these things to confront the Kensley family and see what Lachlan Kensley says." "You and Hank should not get married. No one would accept such deep hatred." Both of them had been ruined by each other's parents. Lyra put down her phone and stared blankly for a long time. Her heart could not calm down.

If all of this was true, she really didn't want to see Hank again. However, she still couldn't figure out another thing. Why was Huaien so kind as to tell her the truth? Did he want her to hate Hank or Lachlan? Lyra lowered her eyes, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

That night, the restaurant was particularly cold and cheerless.

Xuanze and his daughter stayed in the room. Hank went downstairs and went back to the room. Even Lyra did not appear. Everyone sat in the restaurant in twos and threes, discussing the gossip between the three of them. "Have Mr. Barnwell and Mr. Evans fought over a woman?" "Impossible. Otherwise, there would have definitely been a commotion." "How come the three of them disappeared together?" They were guessing over there. Su Yuan and Keith sat next to each other with worried expressions. "Keith, why isn't Mr. Barnwell coming downstairs to eat?" Su Yuan asked. Keith coughed lightly, and replied vaguely, "Mr. Barnwell wants to talk to Mr. Liu, whom Ms. Jones has met before. He is very elegant..." Before he finished speaking, Su Yuan gave a faint "oh". "What about Ms. Jones?"

"I guess she is hesitating whether to study abroad." "Study abroad?" Keith stood up. "For how long?" "For half a year or a year," Su Yuan recalled.

Keith thought to himself. 'Shit,' then he put down his chopsticks and ran in the direction of the elevator. "Ms. Jones is going to study abroad. Why is he so excited?" Su Yuan was confused. Keith ran all the way to Hank's door and kept knocking. "Mr. Barnwell, it's bad."

Hank had told him before that if Lyra went to the restaurant to eat, he would call him again. Hearing the knock, the man opened the door. "She is downstairs?" Keith shook his head. "Then why did you knock on the door?" Hank frowned. "Ms. Jones, Ms. Jones is going abroad to study."
