Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 564

Chapter 564 The Complicated Game

An hour later. When they came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, their fingers were clasped together, and

the air between them seemed to have changed. At the same time, Lyra’s state of mind became

different. The man she had been looking forward to marrying so much had returned to her after a series

of twists and turns.

“Should we tell your aunt about this first?” Hank pretended to be relaxed, but in fact, his fingers that

were holding the marriage certificate kept tightening. His palms were full of sweat. Lyra looked away

cooperatively, pretending that she did not see him like this. “Well, I will tell her when I go back tonight.”

“Then I…” Before Hank could finish speaking, his phone rang. It was from Keith. “I’ll wait for you in the

car.” Lyra held back her laughter. Just as she was about to step forward, Hank caught up with her and

held her hand tightly again. “What’s the matter?” he asked, pressing the answer button as he

accompanied her to the car.

“Mr. Barnwell, I think Director Chen and the others have really been forced into a corner this time.

Terry’s whereabouts are still unknown. What do you think we should do?” Keith asked.

“What’s the use of them blocking the company? I won’t go there. Tell them that Second Uncle and I will

treat Mr. Zeng to dinner at XD Restaurant tonight. Don’t say anything else.” Everything was as they had

expected. When Terry went missing, the directors went bankrupt. After being rejected by Huaien, they

began to think of ways to take revenge on them.

And these people had blocked the Barnwell Group because they wanted Hank to help ask Huaien for

money.

He did not want to get involved in this muddy water. He could turn their tricks against them. Lyra was

helped into the car by him and yawned. Recently, she seemed to be more and more addicted to

sleeping.

“If you’re tired, you should rest first. I’ll send you home.” He looked down at the time on his watch and

handed the thin blanket that had always been prepared in the car to Lyra. “En, send me home. I’ll meet

you at XD Restaurant later with Aunt.” “Okay.”

Hank let go of her hand reluctantly.

She was right beside him, but he always had a sense of uncertainty about his gains and losses,

wishing that he could always keep Lyra in front of him at all times. After sending Lyra back, Hank

turned the car around and rushed to XD Restaurant. He had indeed invited Huaien and Jackie Zeng,

but not at the same time. There was a gap of two hours between the two meetings.

He wanted to let those directors misunderstand.

After Lyra went back, she took a nap at home and went to a newly opened luxury shopping mall with

Rae. She spent a lot of money and then went straight to the Barnwell Group with those branded bags.

Keith had been waiting at the company early in the morning. When he received a call from Lyra, he

directly took his assistant to greet her. “Ms. Jones, this is a document that needs your signature.” “The

cooperation with the Opple Group has been very smooth.” Lyra glanced at the document and said

indifferently.

The directors immediately surrounded her. “Ms. Jones, where’s Mr. Barnwell? Hasn’t he come with

you?” They asked, still looking behind Lyra. “He went to eat with Second Uncle and Mr. Zeng,” Lyra

looked at them. She was actually calling Huaien Second Uncle! “Haven’t Mr. Barnwell and Huaien

already fallen out?” Director Chen asked on the spot, “Qin Xiaoxiao’s disappearance has alarmed the

police!” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Director Chen, they are a family after all. Moreover, Second Uncle is also our elder. Blood ties are not

something that can be broken easily. As for the details, I’d better not talk about our family affairs in

public.”

“Aunt, remember to put the Bird’s nest soup that Second Uncle bought for me in the fridge. It’s quite

expensive.” Lyra smiled as if she had just remembered something.

“Don’t worry,” Rae said hurriedly.

The directors were all dumbfounded. Who could tell them what was going on?

Could it be that Huaien was a two-faced guy who had lowered his head to Hank and sold them out? He

had even said that he had invested all the money into Terry, and now he still had the money to buy Lyra

gifts?

Director Chen called Bai Yongping on the spot. “Don’t talk nonsense to me. Jackie’s investment must

still be in the Barnwell Group…”

“People really don’t have any intelligence at this time,” Lyra chuckled as she listened to the abuse in

the corridor. As long as they used their brains, they would not have fallen for such a small trick. “Lyra,

why don’t you keep Jackie’s money? It will help the company.” Rae poured her a glass of water.

“Aunt, why are you suddenly interested in the company?”

Lyra drank the water and said casually.

Rae’s eyes suddenly became evasive. “I am afraid that the boy will disappoint you again. When you do

business, you have to be more careful. Even if you two get back together now, as far as property is

concerned…” “Okay, okay, okay, I will remember.” Lyra smiled. “Loathsome girl, you only know how to

brush me off.” Rae looked at her with anger. After making sure that the directors had left, Keith knocked

on the office door. “Ms. Jones, everything is ready. The reporters and creditors who have been

arranged have already gone to XD Restaurant. Mr. Barnwell has been informed. Mr. Barnwell should

have just been done with Mr. Zeng’s meeting.” “Okay, thank you for your hard work.” Lyra nodded.

“However, Ms. Jones, I am worried that if Vice President Barnwell does not go, there will be a problem.”

“Once someone tells him the news, he will definitely not appear.” Keith frowned.

“He will.”

Lyra was very sure.

“The more conceited a person is, the more they don’t want to see themselves suffer a crushing defeat.

He will definitely want to turn the tide.”

The only worry she had had before was Alma Jones. Now that Alma Jones had gone abroad for

treatment, she had nothing to worry about. “I understand. I will always pay attention to the movements

there.” Keith was full of confidence at this time. Previously, everyone in the company had been

tormented so badly. Now, he could vent his anger. And at this time.

In a private room in the XD Restaurant. “Mr. Barnwell, allow me to consider this matter again. I will deal

with my ex-wife properly. The contract between us has already been reached. If we break the contract

now, it will be very difficult for me to handle it.” “Mr. Zeng, the Barnwell Group’s reputation can not be

slandered by anyone. I also do not want anyone to harass my family.” He was resolute and decisive,

without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Jackie became even more anxious, “I really did not expect that they would listen to Bai

Yongping and cause trouble to you. I am very sorry, but…” “Let me tell you the truth. I am not the only

one who has invested in it. There is also Rae’s money.”
