Chapter 186 Trampled
Those words gripped Hank’s ears tightly. She deliberately wanted to show off her love in public to make him the focus of everyone’s discussion, or did she change her mind and really want to marry Nore! Hank fiercely pinched his palm, unable to restrain his surging anger. When Keith came forward to report, he did not dare to look at Hank’s expression. “Mr. Barnwell, this is a document for later.” Hank slowly closed his eyes and calmed his emotions. When he opened his eyes again, there was a deep indifference. Who Lyra was with, what did it have to do with him! “Do the Lubi family and the Williams family both want the development rights of this land?” Hank asked casually. “Yes, we can basically confirm it.” Keith adjusted his frame glasses. “I won’t give it to either of them.” With one sentence, he could decide the direction of the entire situation. “Then…” Keith did not quite understand what his CEO meant. Hank raised his hand, and Keith immediately bent down. Although he was surprised – to hear Hank’s instructions in a low voice, he still nodded. “I will do it now.” Then, the Lolin Summit officially began.
All the processes were arranged in order, and Lyra worked hard to learn. This kind of opportunity was not always available. But some people seemed to be much more relaxed. For example, the man sitting in the first row. People would come forward to talk to him from time to time. Lyra could not see his face, but from his back and posture, and the side profile that occasionally showed, she could feel the unruly and relaxed manner in his gestures. He could develop the Barnwell group to the scale of today, and he was not comparable to ordinary people. The people present were already the newcomers of the business industry, but they still had to rely on him. The gap was not something that could be caught up in a day and a night.
Lyra’s heart was twisted. Only at this moment did she truly realize the distance between her and Hank.
“Lyra, it’s almost time for the auction.” Nore saw that she was absent-minded and reminded her. “Oh, okay.”
Lyra perked up and watched the president of the Chamber of Commerce walk straight to Hank. After asking a few questions, he said in a clear voice, “This time, the auction project is the joint development rights of the West City District project. In order to not hurt the harmony, the Barnwell group decided to choose a partner by drawing lots.” Not hurt the harmony? Lyra frowned. Would Hank care about the feelings of others? “There is such a good thing? Then do we also have a chance?” The person sitting in the back row said excitedly, “If I get selected, it will be the luck of my life.” “What if I get selected but not qualified to take this project? After all, not everyone has the ability to cooperate with the Barnwell group.” Everyone knew Hank’s strength. If the cooperation was not smooth, it was likely that the small company would be directly flattened. “In fact, the Barnwell group can finish the project alone. This is just to make people happy.”
Lyra listened to these words and looked at Nore beside him. “Is Lubi Enterprises also interested in this project?”
She had done her homework before coming here. Lubi Enterprises had shown many hints to the Barnwell group, but the Barnwell group’s attitude had been wavering. “There’s something fishy about this.” Nore nodded and his lips moved slightly. Why did the set process suddenly change? “Now, please go on stage, Mr. Barnwell!” With this shout, Hank slowly got up and buttoned up his suit. His tall and straight figure was simply a natural clothing rack. He went on stage and turned around. His gaze was sharp and intimidating, and it gave off a chill as it swept across the entire arena. For a moment, all the discussions stopped. Lyra looked up and saw that their gazes met in the air, She actually saw a hint of a smile on his face. It was an expression that looked down on everything and was filled with ridicule, causing one’s heart to panic.
In a flash, his eyes became cold. Under the guidance of the staff, his hand reached into the box.
“Mr. Barnwell, may I ask who your partner is?” The president of the Chamber of Commerce asked with a smile. This was a request that the Barnwell group had made at the last minute. Although they had some doubts, they could only comply.
The man looked at the note and moved his lips. “the Jones Group.” This sound shook Lyra’s heart! What was he saying? “Oh my god, isn’t that his ex-wife’s company?”
