Chapter 177 Too Late
Jasper hesitated for a moment. Lyra’s reaction was within Hank’s expectations.
Therefore, according to Hank’s instructions, he replied, “Within a year, Cosmos Corporation can not change its name and can not have a conflict with the Barnwell group in terms of business.” Lyra sneered.
“What about after a year?” “It’s up to Miss Jones to handle.” Lyra glanced at the transfer contract, “The market of the Jones family has already been robbed by the Barnwell group. He won’t let me change the name of the company, and he won’t let me take back what belongs to me. Then what’s the use of me having such an empty shell company?” Hank was clearly playing with her. Or, was it to distract her so that she wouldn’t find trouble with Alma for a year so that Alma could give birth to their child safely? This wishful thinking was really well-planned. Unfortunately, she was not as easy to deceive as before, and she would not trust Hank so much like her father. “Miss Jones, don’t think that way. In fact, this is also a good thing for you. Otherwise, this company might…” “Young Master Jasper, the grudge between me and Hank is not something that can be solved by giving this company to me. What I want is for him to lose his reputation and disappear from Cloud Town forever.” Lyra interrupted him. “Do we have to get to that point?” Jasper sighed helplessly. “Or, he could also turn back time and let my father come back to life.” She stood up and said indifferently. She did not accept such a compromise. People who did something wrong had to be punished.
“Why?” Jasper wanted to go up and stop Lyra.
However, because Lyra went around the aisle of the next table, he rushed over and saw Alma and Director Forrest sitting together. Director Forrest’s hand was very naturally on Alma’s shoulder. This action was extremely intimate. “Lyra? Young Master Jasper… Young Master, please don’t misunderstand. We are just discussing business.”
“You, sigh.” Jasper really didn’t know what to say. He looked again and saw that Lyra had already gone far away. He turned around and walked out. Alma immediately put on her coat and followed him.
“Young Master Jasper, don’t tell Hank, okay? I really just came to talk about the role.”

Alma was so anxious that she was about to cry. She kept promising Jasper that she would never agree to this kind of meeting in the future. Jasper glanced at Alma and looked away helplessly. “It’s useless for you to say this to me. Honestly, you have no chance against her.” Before Alma could react, he had already driven away. “Why did Jasper meet Lyra? Could it be…” As Alma was thinking, her phone rang. It was Terry.
Alma glanced at it and hung up the phone in frustration.
In the distance, when Lyra saw this scene, the corners of her mouth curled up. “Mr. Barnwell, your house is restless.” Lyra returned and swaggered back to the hotel. She sat at the opposite table of Alma and ordered a table of delicious food to reward herself. The price of this restaurant was not cheap. Alma had just explained to Director Forrest that she had only met a friend, and Lyra had returned! “Miss, is this your friend?” Director Forrest stared at Lyra’s beautiful face and was immediately attracted by it. He became interested. Alma looked at his eyes and a plan appeared in her mind. “Yes, she’s my friend, a particularly good friend. Does Director Forrest want to know her? Then I’ll go over and tell her.” Alma directly came to Lyra. Looking at her eating face, she sneered, “You can’t seduce Jasper, so you resigned yourself to eating?” Lyra looked up at her and then looked at Director Forrest over there. “What about you? Cheating on Hank, aren’t you afraid of being seen?” “What nonsense are you talking about!? I am talking about business. You don’t know who he is, do you? He is the most popular director in the entertainment industry this year. He thinks that you look decent and wants to meet you.” Alma’s proud look was as if she had already become popular all over the world. Her tone was also as if she was giving charity to Lyra. “Hurry up and greet him. I only introduced him to you because of Hank. Ordinary
people do not have this opportunity.” “What opportunity? To get screwed by a pig?” Lyra said it very clearly, and her voice was not soft. The surrounding tables could hear it. All of a sudden, the director’s face turned green. “You…”
Alma bit her teeth angrily and stared at ‘Lyra’s face. “Who do you think you are? It is your good fortune that the big director likes you. It is also good that you can pay back the debt of your father’s company. You don’t want the money sent to you. No wonder the Jones family is gone.” Lyra glanced over, and the coldness in her eyes made Alma’s face change. “What I said is the truth!” “Well, I will go and take a look.” Lyra put down her chopsticks, got up and walked over. The moment she brushed past her, she kindly reminded her, “Don’t regret it.” Alma panicked. Although she didn’t know what Lyra was going to do, she subconsciously wanted to pull Lyra back.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Lyra came in front of Director Forrest and greeted him with a smile.
