Chapter 187 There Was No Need for That
“Director Jones, please think about it quickly. We still have to continue the process.” The staff member kindly reminded her that she could not make so many people wait here.
Opposite Lyra, Hank’s face was very serious.
“If you are afraid, go out. From now on, there will be no place for the Jones family.” Every word he said pierced into Lyra’s heart like a knife. She kept saying that she wanted to revive the Jones family, but did she really have the ability? Even if Hank gave her a chance, she seemed to be unable to grasp it.
Lyra’s hand that held the pen trembled slightly.
“Lyra…” Nore wanted to rush up, but he was stopped. “Mr. Lubi, there are some things that you can’t help with.” There were more and more chaotic discussions below the stage. Lyra clutched the pen and heard another sentence, “It was you who didn’t want this opportunity. In the future, don’t kneel down and beg me.” “I’ll sign!” Lyra gritted her teeth and signed her name as fast as she could. Hank raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “You can’t go back on your word if you sign it.”
He once again took the initiative in this revenge game. However, Lyra only panicked for a few seconds before she regained her senses. She handed the signed contract to the man and said, “I never regret what I do, unlike some people who would even treat marriage as a child’s play and turn it into a bargaining chip for revenge.”
The light in Hank’s eyes suddenly became sharp. “This time, I hope that Mr. Barnwell will not regret it.”
After signing the contract, Lyra got up and left the stage, leaving everyone with a determined back. Only when she entered the bathroom and closed the door did she slowly sigh. Her palms were already sweaty. Hank’s move made her unable to understand his intentions. Why did he give the Jones family a chance to make a comeback? In order to destroy her life again, or to make the Jones family a thorn in the eyes of other companies, so that he could make the Jones family disappear again without
any effort? Either way, it did not seem to have any benefits for Lyra. However, if she did not accept it, it was equivalent to giving up on the opportunity for nothing. It would also make everyone laugh at her for being a coward. It turned out that a single decision from that man could force her into a dilemma. Lyra turned on the tap and used ice water to splash her face. “There’s nothing to be afraid of.” “As long as you persevere,” she bit her lips.
Sooner or later, the situation would be overturned.
She returned to the venue once again. There was a temporary break. Everyone sat in their seats. When they saw Lyra walk in, they discussed animatedly. “How dare she sign it? Does the Jones family have the ability to take over the project? I heard that she is the only one in that company.” “Free pie for her. I don’t know what kind of luck she got!” “She thought about it for so long on the stage just now. Was she scared silly?” “Maybe she was thinking of how to use this opportunity to get close to Hank so that she can rekindle their relationship…” In their eyes, since Lyra got help from the Barnwell group, she could revive the company easily. Lyra just listened, and there was no hesitation on her fair and beautiful face. “Are you okay?” Nore immediately found Lyra, and his face was full of worry. “You don’t have to worry about me.” Lyra shook her head and smiled. “You should worry about yourself now. Lubi Enterprises didn’t get this cooperation case. Is it okay?”
“My dad didn’t expect the Barnwell group to suddenly change the rules,” Nore said with a frown.
Everyone present should have felt that Hank seemed to be doing this intentionally.
He wanted the Jones family to be chosen. Even if the crowd had some complaints in their hearts, they wouldn’t dare to rush at Hank. That would undoubtedly be courting death.
