Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 409 Without Any Mercy

He Exposed Her Ellie raised her head to look. Sure enough, she met Hank's deep and cold eyes. However, she only smiled gently and did not say anything. "What are you doing?" Lyra frowned and struggled hard. However, in order to avoid too many people nearby noticing, she also tried to lower her voice.

Could it be that she didn't want his invitation, so he flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to chase her out? "What did she talk to you about?"

“Ellie?” Lyra was stunned for two seconds. She didn't expect them to know each other. "No matter what she said to you, forget it all." He seemed to have something in his words, and his eyes were particularly complicated as he stared at Lyra. At this time, Mr. Carson's assistant walked out. Lyra immediately wanted to shake Hank off and move forward. The man frowned and reached out to pull, but he grabbed nothing. Seeing that Lyra had squeezed to the front, his cold gaze deepened. Could he only watch her from afar? "I knew that you would come for her, right?" Ellie silently stood to his right, ignoring Hank's hostility towards her. She smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Lyra and I are good friends. I won't snatch you away from her." Hank's deep eyes turned cold, but he did not reply. His eyes were fixed on the woman not far away. "We've known each other since we were kids and we talk to each other all the time. It was just that I lived abroad for the past few years and we broke off contact." Ellie did not stop and continued talking. "I was planning to tell her about our blind date just now."

Blind date?

Hank sneered. "Miss Hunter, you misunderstood. It's just a normal business meeting." The smile on Ellie's lips could not be held back anymore. She knew that it was difficult to get close to Hank, and she knew that he had a bad temper, but she did not expect him to reject her so much. When he looked at Lyra, he did not have that kind of cold gaze.

"And..."

Hank suddenly approached her. Maintaining a safe distance, his words that were as cold as a blade made Ellie completely stunned. Her palm felt cold, and she could not recover for a long time. Lyra circled around in front, only to hear Mr. Carson's assistant's opening speech. He said that Carson was stuck in traffic and would take more than half an hour, and he hoped that all the guests could stay calm. Lyra could only turn around and walk back. There was no trace of Hank, only Ellie standing there alone, but her face was very pale as if she had been frightened. "Are you alright?" Ellie shook her head. The smile on her face was awkward and helpless. "I, I have something to do on the spur of the moment. I'll be leaving first. Have fun." Lyra did not react for a moment. "Miss Jones." A voice sounded from the side. Xuanze walked around the others and walked over. "I thought you were not interested in this kind of banquet, so you gave me the invitation letter." Lyra was a little surprised. Did she take advantage of him? "Have you ever thought that I planned to invite you to come with me from the beginning?" Xuanze smiled helplessly.

"What?"

Coincidentally, the music was playing, blocking Xuanze from speaking. While they were talking, Ellie, who was next to them, grabbed her handbag and quickly left the luxurious party.

Just as she stepped out of the door, Hank's car was already waiting there. Ellie stepped on her high heels and walked down the stairs step by step. She reached out her trembling hand, leaned against the car door, and opened it with gritted teeth.

"When did you know?" Ellie felt indignant in her heart. No one knew that she was an illegitimate daughter of the Hunter family!

Hank's family background could not compare to the Hunter family, but he supported the Barnwell group alone. What he needed the most was a woman with a background. And she just so happened to be able to make up for this point, allowing his career to

rise to another level. This was also the reason why Huaien would take the initiative to look for the Hunter family. However, Ellie never expected that Hank had already seen through all of this. "The Hunter family's business influence has always been overseas, but in the past three years, it has changed to the domestic market. I only sent someone to pay a little attention to it."

He glanced sideways at Ellie, but this beautiful face could not make him feel any pity. He hated being deceived. "With the Hunter family and Dingyi backing you up, no one will stop you from doing anything. But I only have one request, don't hurt Lyra." Ellie pulled the branded bag in her hand. The smile on her face had completely disappeared. Relying on her last bit of pride, she said fiercely, "Hank, aren't you going too far? Even if you know that there is a stain on my background, you can't suspect me out of thin air! Why should I deliberately get close to you and Lyra? Just because you are divorced and your uncle introduced us to each other, I have to marry you?"

"You are too narcissistic." Ellie said fiercely, pushed open the car door and walked out. Under the night sky, she looked pitiable standing alone under the steps, but Hank's car drove straight in front of her without any intention of stopping.

Inside the car, the man's cold gaze swept across the phone screen.

"Miss Jones' invitation was sent by President Han." He actually slowed down on this matter by a beat.

"Let's go to the company." The hatred hidden in his eyes slowly surfaced.

"Mr. Barnwell, are you sure you want to go to the office at this time?" The driver was stunned for a moment.

Although Hank had always been a workaholic, going to the Barnwell group now, even if there was no traffic jam, would be almost midnight. However, there was no order from the back seat. The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

Ellie was wearing an evening gown and was abandoned there. By the time the driver came to pick her up, she was already about to catch a cold.

The driver hurriedly came down to open the door and asked something he should not have asked.

"Miss, why are you alone?" Anyone could tell that Ellie was not only here to attend a private party tonight, but also to date. Otherwise, she would not have dressed up so meticulously. But now, there was actually a man who left such a beautiful female companion here! Ellie bit the corner of her lips.

"Drive."

"Miss, Madam just called. Do you want to contact her?" Ellie's eyes froze. She clenched her palm but still pressed the dial button obediently. In an instant, she hid the viciousness in her eyes and called sweetly, "Mommy, good evening."
