Chapter 171 Want to Take Revenge?
A single sentence caused Hank’s heart to ache.
There was something that Lyra could not understand in his deep eyes.
However, she did not care at all. She directly leaned against the other side of the car door. She did not want to talk about forgiveness, unless Hank died in her hands.
Therefore, everything he did now was useless. She also didn’t care. “Okay, you are right.” There was a faint trace of exhaustion in his voice. He turned his head and just happened to see Alma chasing out from inside. He frowned and ordered the driver to drive. Then he got out of the car. Lyra did not move at all until the car was far away. Only then did she bury her head between her arms. Her originally good mood was stirred into a mess. “Miss Jones, can I send you to Mr. Barnwell’s villa?” Lyra did not say a word. Where could she go in her current state?
When Jasper received a call from Hank and came to Kensley family to pick him up, he could tell that Hank was in a bad mood at a glance. “You stayed so late at Kensley family?” ** As far as he knew, this had never happened before.
“Lachlan suspected that I was the one who set him up for the accident in the Wu family.” Hank rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “What? Your future father-in-law is really interesting. Why would you do such a thing.” Jasper could not help but laugh. Hank was speechless. Only a greedy person like Lachlan could be fooled so easily. Lyra took advantage of Lachlan’s greed and only used a few words to make Lachlan become her bullet. “Losing the Kensley group is nothing to the Barnwell group. It is just that if it is spread, it will inevitably hurt the Barnwell group’s image. Then how do you redeem it? Do you want to hold a wedding ceremony?” Jasper asked in a low voice.
“No.”
Hank refused without thinking.
Just now, at Kensley family, Wendy had also vaguely mentioned this matter, but Hank had changed the topic.
“Because of Lyra?” Jasper made a bold guess. Hank slowly closed his eyes and did not say much.
Jasper clicked his tongue, stepped on the accelerator, and went to the place where the evening entertainment was. Halfway through the dinner, Hank received a call from Sister Zhang. “Sir, Miss Jones is not back yet. Did something happen?” “Don’t worry about her.” Hank was a little upset. When did his thoughts start to be influenced by that woman? He was probably really crazy.
Just as Lyra had said, her life and death had nothing to do with him! “Mr. Barnwell, let me toast you again.” Someone stood up again. This was already more than a dozen glasses of wine that Hank had drunk tonight. The alcohol content was not high, but Hank would generally decline such a meaningless toast. But today, he did not refuse anyone. It was obvious that he was trying to drink away his sadness. “Alright, Hank. I’ll drink it for you,” Jasper said as he took the glass.
He was very clear about Hank’s alcohol tolerance
Hank was pressed back into the chair. He picked up the phone on the table and looked at it again and again. His eyes were fixed on the time and date on the phone screen. He suddenly thought of something and immediately got up and walked out. “Hey, Mr. Barnwell? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” “I’ll go take a look. You guys continue. Where are you going?” Jasper chased after him. “Look for her.” Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Heavy rain poured down.
