Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 387 As Long As You Are Happy

Lyra frowned. Her wrist was a little painful.

But she could understand why he was angry. She lowered her head and muttered to herself, "I have already made it clear to her. From now on, she and I are strangers. I just... don't want to make a fuss over it." She was not soft-hearted. It was Alma's own choice that she had become who she

was.

The man looked down at her for a while and suddenly sneered. "You haven't answered the last question." Lyra was stunned and quickly looked away, trying to escape from the imprisonment of his arm.

However, he did not give her a chance to escape.. After a dispute, she was pressed onto the bed. His breathing became heavier and heavier and the faint emotion in his eyes could not be suppressed. "Lyra, I want a chance to start over again, but I hate being deceived the most. Do you understand?" Lyra turned her head away, but her chin hurt, and he pulled it back. His kiss immediately fell, and he fiercely rubbed her lips until a trace of blood spread out in his mouth. Only then did he slowly stop.

"Before I find out, you can't go anywhere." He said with a cold expression. Lyra watched as the door was closed and her heart sank bit by bit. Hank had always kept his word. Lyra could not take half a step out of this house. When she reached the door, she would be stopped by Hank's subordinates.

"Miss Jones, please cooperate." "Without Mr. Barnwell's order, you can not leave." "This is illegal house arrest. I can sue him." Lyra gritted her teeth and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

However, it was useless for her to say these words to them. Moreover, she did not know if it were to prevent her from secretly running away, but Sister Zhang had not appeared. The servants who came to take care of Lyra were all unfamiliar faces.

No matter what she said, they all looked indifferent.

"Miss Jones, do you want to eat fruit?"

"I don't want to. I want to see Hank." Lyra looked away. "Miss Jones, dinner will be ready soon. Please wait a little longer." The maid did not

answer her directly Lyra took out her phone. No matter how she called Hank, no one answered. She was so angry that she threw her phone. On the other side, Hank counterattacked very quickly. In just one day, he found the people who had tampered with the whole thing. They confessed to what they had done, but there was not enough evidence. At most, it would be illegal car theft. Any pointed evidence had been removed. "Mr. Barnwell, this is the only way." Keith frowned and reported. He clearly saw that his boss'expression had changed. But he had no choice. He had already investigated everything that could be investigated. It could only mean that the mastermind behind the scenes was meticulous and quick, having destroyed all the evidence in such a short period of time. "With just Terry's connections, he couldn't have done it to this extent." Hank's eyes flashed slightly, his fingers tapping the table. "Mr. Barnwell, Miss Jones has already called forty-three times, are you still not picking up?" Keith took out his phone. A message flashed on the screen again. Lyra's words were very impolite. "Hank, if you are not dead, answer the phone! What are you hiding from me? If you don't show up, I will go to the Barnwell group to make trouble." Then, her phone rang again. Hank looked over and his eyes paused. His slender fingers swiped across and he hung it up.

Even Keith couldn't help but be a little surprised. His boss's tolerance for Lyra had always been limitless, but this time, he seemed to be really angry. "I just hope that she can tell me the truth. Am I wrong?" Hank pinched the pen in his hand and said softly. "You are right. Miss Jones should also have difficulties." Keith lowered his eyes and whispered. "Would you think that Alma had ulterior motives?" Hank suddenly turned his head. Had he always treated Alma differently with a biased attitude? Keith did not answer, but his expression already explained everything. "Mr. Barnwell, you have a video conference in ten minutes. Mr. Opple wishes to

promote the second cooperation between the two companies." Keith said. Hank nodded slowly. "Got it."

As soon as he started working, he had no concept of time. Moreover, he had run into this kind of multinational project. In order to show his respect for the other party, he naturally had to cooperate with the time over there. When the meeting was close to the end, it was already early in the morning.

During this time, Hank would look at his watch from time to time.

Even Mr. Opple noticed that his working attitude was different from usual. "Mr. Barnwell, do you have something to do? Our meeting can be postponed." After working with the Barnwell group, Mr. Opple trusted the Barnwell group's ability very much. After seeing so many domestic companies, the Barnwell group's cooperation and completion rate were second to none. Anyone would want to capture such a partner.' "No, let's continue," Hank said with a smile. When he finished his work and returned to the Barnwell family, it was almost dawn. He thought that Lyra would have already fallen asleep. He had just taken off his shoes when a figure rushed over from behind and knocked him against the wall. He had smelled her scent in advance, so he did not fight back. He allowed her strength to push him away.

"Hank, you..." He raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace. Their eyes met. Both of their tempers were tainted with anger, but in the end, Hank suppressed his anger. He grabbed her wrist and said word by word, "It's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he left Lyra alone there and went into his room to take a shower. The huge villa was extremely quiet. Lyra bit the corner of her lips. She had waited for him all day, and this was the result? She was unconvinced and walked upstairs. She smashed the door and went in, but he was too fast and had already taken off his clothes. "You want to shower together?"

Lyra immediately turned around and slammed the door.

How could he become so... glib! Lyra felt that the Hank she had known in the past was not like this at all.

She returned to her room and covered herself with the quilt. She could not avoid what should come. Tomorrow, she must make it clear to him that if he dared to put her under house arrest, she would not mind doing something to the Barnwell group. However, as soon as the sky brightened, she knew that she had made a big mistake. Because Hank did not spend the night at home, but had already taken a plane abroad. "Tell Hank that if he doesn't come back immediately, I will tear down Barnwell family." Lyra suppressed the urge to curse and told Keith on the phone.

"... Miss Jones, Mr. Barnwell said, as long as you are happy."
