Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 525 The Timing of Negotiations

This was also an opportunity for manoeuvre. He had to see Lyra with his own eyes to understand her thoughts. Moreover, this kind of reaction was also reasonable, so when Keith nervously told Su Yuan, the other side immediately agreed.

"Our Ms. Jones also said that she wanted to meet with Vice President Barnwell. It's better to sit down and make things clear."

Keith went speechless.

"What? Is there a problem?" Su Yuan asked. "No problem, but I'm afraid this is a little troublesome. Why don't we let the two of them talk alone first?" Su Yuan refuted directly, "This is a big matter for the two companies. Of course, all those involved have to be present. It's not a one-on-one blind date. Our Ms. Jones is already full of sincerity. If you don't agree, then forget it. See you in court." The call was directly hung up. Keith was extremely annoyed, so he had to bite the bullet and go over to knock on the door to apologize. In the end, he successfully took Lyra to the car and went directly to Huaien's home. On the way, Keith explained again and again, "Our Mr. Barnwell has something to do at the last minute, but he will be there soon after he is done." "Don't worry," said Lyra, looking out of the window. The sunlight cast a faint halo over her body, as if she didn't care about this at all. Her entire body carried a calm attitude. Keith had already tried his best to drive very slowly. After dawdling outside Huaien's house for a while, Hank finally arrived with Lawyer Liu. "Ms. Jones, nice seeing you again!" Lawyer Liu smiled and went forward to greet her. Because of the suggestion that Lyra gave him last time, he was now a little famous in the industry and his career had advanced by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, when Hank went to find him today, he would not have been so busy that he could not leave.

This caused Hank to almost smash his law office on the spot.

At this time, Hank's whole attention was on Lyra.

Every subtle expression on her face was seen by the man who seemed to be confirming something.

Before they could enter... A group of people came out from inside.

A few of them were reporters and cameramen of the television station. The people who sent them out were Qin Xiaoxiao and Huaien. Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes were red. She urged Huaien to thank the reporters. "Thank you for coming over to clarify the truth. We also don't want the rumors to go on and affect our peaceful lives." "Don't worry. We will immediately release the news," The reporter said. But at this time, someone noticed Hank and the others. "Mr. Barnwell!" The eagle-eyed cameraman had already begun to capture the wonderful picture.

This kind of shura-like plot was too attractive. Not long ago, there was an accident during Huaien's operation. Lyra was the first person to be suspected. Although Huaien later expressed that he would not investigate this matter, his attitude made people feel that there was something going on.

After that, the Barnwell Group's power was returned to Hank.

Now that Huaien's daughter, Qin Xiaoxiao, entered the Barnwell Group and became Vice President Barnwell, did this mean that there would be a lot of uncertainty about the Barnwell Group's ownership in the future? The reporters immediately surrounded Hank and the others. "Mr. Barnwell, the financial circle has been paying attention to the development direction of the Barnwell Group in the future. Can you talk about it?" Hank frowned, his eyes cold. On the other side, Qin Xiaoxiao walked down the steps under Huaien's signal and said with a smile, "You are here. The food is ready. Let's talk while eating." Looking at the surprised expressions of the reporters, Qin Xiaoxiao said generously, "This afternoon is just an ordinary family dinner. Please stop asking about business." The reporters looked at each other. But who would invite their ex-wife and lawyer for a family gathering? However, the reporters still expressed their agreement on Qin Xiaoxiao's words and left Barnwell family one after another.

The moment the door closed, the few of them had different expressions.

"Brother Hank, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming over? If the reporters saw you, they would start writing nonsense again."

Hank glanced at her.

"You didn't tell me in advance when you handed in the acquisition procedures," he said, ignoring the look on her face.

Qin Xiaoxiao bit the corner of her lips, and her eyes became more and more aggrieved.

But Hank ignored her and took Lyra inside. Huaien sat in a wheelchair, his eyes gloomy. But when he saw Hank and Lyra approaching, his face gradually showed a smile. "Even if you don't come, I will invite you to come." When he said this, he seemed to be generous and kind. However, after so many things had happened, this fake smile of his was completely disgusting in Lyra's eyes. "There's no need to act like this. Everyone is quite busy." Lyra chuckled and walked in. The layout of the entire house was very spacious. All the furniture exuded a sense of age, and the fragrance of pinewood permeated the air, giving people a feeling of class and ease. However, Lyra's first reaction was that Huaien was not worthy of living here.

"The procedures for the Barnwell Group to purchase the Jones Group is almost over. It is impossible to collect spilled water. Even if you are angry, don't blame Xiaoxiao. She is young and has many things to learn in this area..." Huaien planned to let Qin Xiaoxiao shoulder all the responsibility. If something really happened, he would give up on Qin Xiaoxiao without mercy. Sadly, Qin Xiaoxiao stood by the side and only said, "I misunderstood my dad and submitted the application materials. Lyra, I'm sorry." "No need. I am not worthy of your apologies." Lyra said disdainfully, producing a copy of agreement. "The matter is already set in stone. I have nothing to say, but asking for a little compensation is not too much, right?" A hint of surprise flashed across Huaien's eyes. After a while, he smiled and said, "Not too much." "Sign it then." Lyra had already prepared the pen. "Now, just sign it, Ms. Qin," he said to Qin Xiaoxiao. Because on that agreement, there was already the official signature of Hank and the lawyer. Qin Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked in Huaien's direction.

Lyra pretended to be surprised and raised her voice. "What? Ms. Qin doesn't keep your word? It seems that Ms. Qin can't call the shots here? Then, did you make the decision by yourself to buy the Jones Group, or did you mishear his instructions?" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't answer for a moment. But the agreement had already been delivered to her hand. "It doesn't matter. I have one day to wait for you to look through it slowly and make sure to sign it. This matter is over. If you don't sign it, call those reporters back and follow the legal procedures." Lyra blinked, "Could it be that no one told you about the consequences? If I sue you, you may be imprisoned." She turned her head and asked Lawyer Liu, "If someone steals other people's information to commit commercial crimes, how many years will they be sentenced?" "At least five years," Lawyer Liu answered straightforwardly.
