Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 415 He Would Never Be Manipulated Again

In the Barnwell group. Hank sat on the negotiation table for the whole afternoon. When the partner signed, he was already very tired. "Mr. Barnwell, I hope that we can continue to cooperate well with the Barnwell group. Don't hear any bad news." The partner said this in a very subtle way. After all, if the company's reputation was damaged, it would implicate the business partner "Director Liu, don't worry. I guarantee with my integrity that nothing will go wrong. Keith, take Director Liu downstairs." "Director Liu, please." Watching them leave, Hank walked towards the office. When he reached the door, he saw a thin woman standing there. She dressed in clothes looked somewhat similar to Lyra. He immediately quickened his pace, but when he walked over, he found that the person who came was Alma. His eyes suddenly changed, and his attitude was clearly written on his face. For a moment, the corners of Alma's lips twitched in embarrassment. He must have mistaken her for someone else. "Lyra is currently participating in the design competition. Of course, she won't appear here. I have something to talk to you about. Can we talk alone?" Hank glanced at the employees behind him and brought her into the office with a cold face.

The door closed. Alma took off her scarf and sat down carefully. "Hank, I have decided to go abroad. I won't stay here any longer and cause trouble for you. I have a letter here. I hope you can help me pass it to Lyra." Her trick of being good at disguise had completely lost its effect on him. He lifted his eyes and looked at her calmly. "I know that I have done a lot of wrong things in the past. It is my fault. I will not be manipulated again." After she finished speaking, she stood up directly. When her fingers touched the door handle, she suddenly stopped. "I heard that you are going on a blind date with Miss Hunter from Dingyi Group recently. You... should think about it more." After she finished speaking, she quickly walked out.

This sentence spread out in Hank's mind. The man's face was a bit cold. He raised his hand and pressed the button on his phone. "Keith, come over."

That afternoon, the news that the Barnwell group had a close relationship with Dingyi Group and that there was even the possibility of a commercial marriage spread. Ellie was still sitting in the office upstairs of the design competition when she heard the news from her assistant. "I haven't made a move yet. Who released the news?" "I can't find it yet." The assistant replied in a low voice, "It involves two large groups. The news is spread very quickly and needs time to check." Ellie pursed her lips and smiled. Her gaze was subtle. "However, this is also a good thing. Let Hank experience the influence of Dingyi Group." In this way, would that man still dare to look down on her?

"However, Miss, are you really going to invest in this competition? The master seems to disagree." The assistant was a little worried.

After all, the number of funds was not small.

If it failed to cause a sensation, it would be very difficult to explain.

"Of course. Since I've already said it, there's no reason for me to take it back. Besides, I'm doing this to pave the way for the future." Ellie glanced out of the window. "It's going to be sunset soon." Feeling that her words seemed to have a deeper meaning, the assistant hung her head and stood aside, not making a sound.

Ever since Ellie graduated, she had been slowly coming into contact with the work of the Dingyi Group. Although she had never taken over any big projects and her position as Vice President of Asia Pacific was a fake, she was confident that as long as she could take down Hank, no one in the family would dare to look down on her in the future!

Dong.

A staff member came and knocked on the door. "Miss Hunter, please go to the hall downstairs." "Okay, I'll be right there." Ellie glanced back and smiled, looking elegant and beautiful. The staff members blushed a little. She was so beautiful, without the arrogance of a rich young lady, and so gentle, and simply perfect. At the same time, the contestants gathered in the hall.

The last group that came was Lyra's group. The three people's faces were very ugly, especially Nina. She secretly glared at Lyra several times.

"Alright, everyone, please go backstage and make the final preparations. There are three models in each group. The show will officially start in half an hour. Before that, please invite our judges for tonight." "Fashion Star, Ainsley." "Director Armstrong of MON Design Company. "And our fashion godfather, Mr. Carson." "Finally, it's the special guest tonight. Dingyi Group's vice president, Ellie, Miss Hunter." Ellie appeared at the end of the show, but she was given enough face. However, this face was not for her, but for the Hunter family behind her.

Carson had worked hard in the fashion industry for so many years. He knew one thing very well. No matter how excellent the work was, it needed a supporter. Moreover, it was a supporter with strong capital support. Otherwise, it would be a piece of waste paper.

He used the mystery design to hold this competition just to gain capital support. Coincidentally, Ellie came to him and they hit it off.

The contestants were very excited and clapped their hands. No matter what, they had to give Mr. Carson face.

However, when Lyra saw Ellie standing on the stage covered in light, the doubts in her eyes became more and more intense. Before she could think about it, another uninvited guest came.

Because the program was still broadcasting, a staff member came forward and whispered something to Mr. Carson.

He immediately smiled and said, "Quick, invite him in." When the door opened, everyone looked over curiously, including Lyra.

However, when she saw the man hidden in the shadows of the door, she immediately turned her head.

She was too familiar with it.

She lowered her eyes and thought about the news feed just now. The Barnwell group and the Dingyi Group were about to join in marriage. Perhaps, Hank had come for Ellie.

She felt a little uncomfortable, not because she was jealous, but because she felt that a good design competition had become a tool for them to take advantage of. This was blasphemy to the design! Her beautiful little face was a little unhappy.

Nina, who was next to her, lowered her smile. "Why? Are you uncomfortable watching

your ex-husband love someone else? Then you should be smarter and stay away from

Javier."

Lyra opened her mouth but did not retort in the end. She did not want to argue about such a boring thing. "From now on, you better be a mute! Just stay with us and wait to win." Nina snorted softly. Javier heard a subtle sound and glanced at the two of them. His eyes were a little cold.

He wanted to win.

The company was going to renew the contract soon, and he would only be able to gain a firm foothold if he won this design competition beautifully. No matter who it was, as long as they ruined his plan, he would never let them off lightly. Lyra keenly sensed the aura emanating from him, and then she remembered Nina's attitude towards Javier in the design room just now. She could not help but frown. It might not be a good thing to be in a group with the two of them. "Mr. Barnwell, please come in." "I didn't expect to have you two here tonight as judges." Mr. Carson smiled and raised his hand.

Hank stood on the stage and was deliberately arranged to the right side of Ellie. The two stood together, looking like a perfect match. There were many small murmurs coming from the audience. "Have you seen the news? Are they together?" "Well..."

Many people started to look at Lyra.
