Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 413 Different Matches

Her small face was filled with resignation and anger, and that emotion was clearly reflected in her eyes.

Hank was startled and wanted to let go, but he was very reluctant to do so in his heart. His gaze shifted down with an icy cold chill. "When will you be able to face your true thoughts?"

Hank suddenly let go of his hand and took a few steps to the side. He took a bag from the car and handed it to Lyra. Then he left without saying anything. Lyra picked it up reluctantly and glanced at it. She was a little stunned. It was the children's clothing that she and Xuanze had seen in the mall that day. Was this his apology? Lyra snorted, muttering bad things about Hank as she pushed the door open and went home. Below the neighbor's wall, there was a sneaky person who had just turned the camera off and darted into the car in a few steps. "Miss Hunter, it's all taken. Alright, alright, I'll send it over now." In the Star Hotel VIP Suite. Huaien leaned on the sofa and looked at the two people on the computer screen. "I didn't expect my nephew to be so devoted. They have been divorced for a long time." Yet he was still in love with his ex-wife. Ellie's face did not look so good. She had thought of many ways in the past few days, or deliberately or naturally, to get close to Hank, but she had failed. He worked overtime for a few days to deal with the Barnwell Group's affairs, but ended up willing to spend hours waiting for Lyra at the door of the Jones family! His bias and care made people jealous. "Uncle Huaien, I think it's all because you've been too gentle with him, letting him set up the stalemate within the Barnwell group so easily that he won't need my help." The original plan was that Hank had no way out, then she brought Dingyi's funds to join the alliance, and everything would be natural.

He would also gladly accept and become Dingyi's son-in-law. But now, before it even started, she was at her wit's end.

Huaien clenched the plate in his hand and sneered, "If he was such a simple person, I wouldn't have asked the Hunter Family for help. Since you are already here, just do something about it. No matter what, he is still a man.” “Half a month at the latest, the Barnwell group will be in great turmoil. Just seize the opportunity." He said and got up.

Ellie angrily turned off the computer.

Hank was as cold as an iron wall. What could she do? He would only take things that had something to do with Lyra to heart. Her beautiful eyes rolled, and a thought appeared in her mind. She immediately dialed her big brother's number. Although their relationship was not good, this was a big matter that concerned the entire family.

Early in the morning on Monday. Lyra carried a small 20-inch leather suitcase and headed to the competition venue. In front of several villas in the southern district of the city, there were already cameras set up. When Lyra arrived, there were already a few people standing there. Two of them were also designers who had once made a name for themselves in the international design circles, Nina and Javier. Lyra did not recognize the other three. She walked over and quietly stood at a place not far from them. The camera turned towards her, and a staff member raised a sign behind her to remind her. Lyra frowned.

She was not used to filming like this. She only nodded and continued to stand there, not moving at all. The camera quickly turned away. Although she was beautiful and suitable for photography, she was not expressive and her status in the circle was not high. More and more people came from behind, until the fifteen were assembled. "Everyone, welcome to this competition. Next, I will give each of you a number plate and then randomly form three teams to participate in this afternoon's competition." All of a sudden, the contestants were in an uproar. They had just arrived and it started? After all, the competition was only a week away, so it was normal for it to have a tight schedule.

Lyra adjusted her breathing and waited for the results of the grouping.

"It's definitely best to be in a group with Javier. Wouldn't it be a sure win?"

"Of course, Javier's team has cooperated with Mr. Carson five times!"

As the results of the grouping were revealed, everyone repositioned themselves and divided the rooms as well.

Lyra held the blue sign and looked to the side. She found that everyone was also looking at her. She walked step by step towards Nina and Javier. The two were the most established among the contestants. "What kind of luck did she get?" "Isn't she... the one who plagiarized? She..." The sounds of discussion entered her ears without any concealment. "Hello, Miss Clark, Mr. Armstrong." Lyra restrained the emotions in her eyes and took the initiative to greet them.

Nina snorted softly, "Just don't drag us down."

On the other side, Javier's attitude was not as sarcastic as hers, but he did not speak and only nodded.

Lyra knew in her heart that their cold attitude towards her was also because of those rumors. In the design circle, that was the most taboo. She was open-minded and clutched the handle of her suitcase. She would prove herself.

"Alright, everyone, please go to your rooms to rest first, then have lunch. Gather in the meeting room at two in the afternoon."

It sounded quite simple.

Everyone relaxed and temporarily put aside the afternoon competition and walked in twos and threes. However, when they arrived at the room, they found that everything was not so simple. Because there were only two beds in the room. Then where was the third person sleeping?

"There is a design room in each group, and there is a single bed in the design room."

"What are they doing? Dividing us on the first day? Then what's the point of grouping?" "You can also stay in the room and sleep on the floor."

This was telling the contestants that everyone was not equal and that they needed to compete. Nina furrowed her eyebrows and complained to Javier, "I told you that you were asking for trouble. You can already start a show on your own. Why are you still participating in such a low-level competition? Is it worth it for that design draft?" Design draft? Lyra looked over in surprise. She did not expect Javier to approve of her design. "I really want to know that designer. It just so happens that I have time. Besides, you are the one who is willing to come." Javier's attitude was a little cold. Lyra frowned slightly. Everyone in the circle said that they were a couple. Because of his attitude, Nina became even angrier. "Then what do you think we should do now?" "Both of you are girls, you..."

"I'll go." Lyra interrupted them. Nina looked at her in surprise and reminded her indifferently, "You may not know that you came late just now. The design room is in the basement." Living there meant that there was no heating. For girls, it was very bad. "It's okay. I can accept it. I'll go first." Lyra smiled. When she walked out of the door, she was not surprised to hear Nina say, "Why did

she do this? Isn't it because she's grouped with the two of us and is already bound to win? It's natural for her to suffer a little." "Just shut up. She can hear you." Javier stopped her. "What are you afraid of? She relies on plagiarism..." Lyra dragged the box and quickened his pace.
