Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 381 The Most Battered and Exhausted Fate

As soon as Hank came out of the conference room, he was blocked by Jasper, who had rushed over.

"I saw the news. What happened? Did the two of you really get back together?" When he heard this news, his jaw almost dropped. The day before, he had been anxiously looking for him all over the world, but today, he actually came to congratulate him.

"Yes." Hank said.

Seeing his reaction, Jasper's heart skipped a beat. "Was it Lyra who took the initiative?"

"What are you trying to say?" Hank frowned.

He wanted to move forward, but Jasper blocked his way.

"Hank, aren't you going to consider her reason? She was so repulsed before, how could she suddenly change her mind? She is not that kind of person."

Indeed.

Once Lyra was determined to do something, she would stick to it to the end. If something unexpected had not happened, she would definitely not have changed her mind. Moreover, before, she...

Hank frowned even more tightly.

"Jasper, I thought you would be happy for me." How much he had wished for this day to come. The moment Lyra hugged him, his mind was completely blank, and he had no other thoughts. "Of course, I'm happy for you. I just think that you should talk to her first. How many things has the Barnwell group encountered during this period of time? We can't afford to lose anymore."

Hank's face darkened a bit.

Jasper sighed helplessly. "I know you don't want to hear this now. I know how much you care about her. However, Hank, you have already missed each other once. If you do it again, you have to be more careful. You have been imprisoned for a day and night at the pier warehouse. There must be a result." As soon as Jasper finished speaking, the door of Hank's office opened. Lyra stood there and looked at them from afar.

"Think about it yourself." Hank had always been a shrewd person, but when it came to the Jones family, he could not think rationally. When the Jones family went bankrupt, he had saved the Jones family's old house and the furniture by himself. At that time, Jasper had already seen that Hank could not let go of Lyra. Whether he admitted it himself or not. Jasper returned to the elevator and left this troublesome place. "Is there anything wrong with Young Master Armstrong? Why do I feel that he looks at me strangely?" Lyra pursed her lips and carefully probed.

"It's fine."

"Are you tired? Let's go eat." Hank's eyes flickered with a deep light.

"Okay." Lyra nodded. They walked into the elevator side by side, and there was a look of envy behind them.

"Mr. Barnwell treats Miss Jones too well."

"I have never seen such a gentle side of Mr. Barnwell before."

In order to be alone with Lyra, Keith and the driver were left in the company.

Almost at the same time, Alma announced her comeback and attended the news conference of the jewelry brand with a high profile. She got the only endorsement right of this luxury brand in the country. As soon as Alma appeared, reporters swarmed in.

However, what they asked the most was not about her at all, but about the current situation between Hank and Lyra.

"May I ask if Mr. Barnwell has reconciled with his ex-wife, Miss Jones?"

"Miss Kensley, did you choose to come back at this time because of this? If Mr. Barnwell breaks up with you, will the capital behind you decrease a lot?" "Miss Kensley, who was the strange man who was with you that night when the ship was out of business?"

Alma, who was wearing sunglasses, was surrounded by these reporters.

"Miss Kensley, please answer our questions directly!" The agent, Elisa, immediately rushed up from the audience and pushed the microphone away.

"Alma just came back, and let's talk next time."

After that, she pulled Alma away.

It was only when she reached backstage that Elisa said with satisfaction, "Alma, you chose to make a comeback today. You are really amazing. Look at those people just now, they were all defeated by you. I will work hard to help you take on a few more films."

"Didn't Director Forrest want to cooperate with me before? I am willing to see him."

"Really? But he is famous in the circle..."

He was a lecher, and he was even more passionate about the female actress who had a family. If Alma took the initiative to curry favor with him, something might happen.

"Men are all the same. As long as I satisfy them a little and keep them in suspense, what is there to be afraid of? Also, if those reporters come to bother me again, just call the police directly." Alma chuckled. After saying that, Alma walked out and got into the nanny van from the side door.

"Alma, I keep feeling that you seem to be different from the past." Elisa followed closely behind. However, she couldn't tell what exactly was different. It seemed that she was even more willing to go all out. Alma narrowed her eyes and leaned against the car, not making a sound.

When she returned to the Kensley family, she locked herself in her room and did not eat or drink.

When she took off her sunglasses, she could clearly see blue and purple marks on the corners of her eyes. The skin below her shoulder was also full of whip marks. "Hank, Lyra, what you owe me, I want you to repay it for a lifetime." Alma looked at the face full of hatred in the mirror and pursed her lips tightly. The maid knocked on the door again.

"Young miss, the old master is back. He wants to see you." Alma's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. What should come was still unavoidable.

As soon as she entered Lachlan's study, he pulled her hair and pulled her over. He gave her two tight slaps. "How dare you make a comeback? What do you think you can get out of this! Tonight, you better accompany Mr. Liu properly." "If he is not satisfied with you, see how I will deal with you."

Lachlan kicked Alma.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bought you back then. If it were Lyra, she would have been much smarter." Alma covered her face, the hatred in her eyes growing even stronger.

She couldn't even compare to Lyra in this kind of thing?

"Dad, don't worry. I will definitely satisfy Mr. Liu." Alma took a deep breath and immediately raised his head, acting like a spoiled child.

Lachlan looked at her flattering appearance and snorted disdainfully. He raised his hand and pinched her chin, "It's best if that's the case. Otherwise, I'll send you to..."

Alma's face became paler and paler. Until Lachlan shook her off and walked out, her body weakly fell to the floor, without any strength. Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were dazed. Originally, the person who was supposed to board the ship with her that night would be Hank, and she would also get the compensation she deserved.

In the end, the person who broke into her room was actually sent by Huaien.

He even forced her to do something that should not have happened, and the photos and information afterward were also sent under Huaien's instructions. Alma's body curled up, her hands constantly pinching her wrist.
