Chapter 239 Cooperation Postponed
This time, it was Jimmy’s turn to be surprised. “You know him?”
The boss had clearly said that he wanted to keep his identity a secret from Lyra.
“Actually, I have seen this bracelet before. It was my mother’s relic and was later auctioned.” Lyra shook her head and put the photo on the table. Lyra said calmly. When her mother died, she was still young. These things used to be placed on the dressing table at home every day. The servants cleaned it day after day, and she would occasionally pick it up to take a look. At that time, she lived a carefree life every day. She never thought that the Jones family would be forced to a dead-end one day, nor did she think that these things would be auctioned and flowed into the market.
Jimmy suddenly did not react. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, “The buyer must have seen the photos and liked the style, so he let us make a similar style, right?” In the upper-class circle, this kind of thing was rare. “Maybe.” Lyra lowered her head and suppressed the sadness in her eyes. “Then, do you still want to take this order?” Jimmy asked softly. “Yes.”
Lyra looked up and answered firmly.
Right now, she had no right to hesitate. “But I have a request. If my design can satisfy the buyer, I want to see him.” Lyra clenched her fingers. She was a little nervous, but she had to know who this person was and whether he had anything to do with the Jones family’s bankruptcy.
“Let me help you communicate with the buyer first. You also know the rules. It is the most basic thing to keep secrets for the customer.” “I understand, thank you.” Lyra breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, everything was developing in a good direction.
The next step was to wait.
After Alma was taken away by the police, she stayed in the police station for an entire day.
In the end, it was Hank who took the lawyer to bring her out. “Hank, it’s so dark inside. I was scared to death.” Alma was still in shock and kept
Chapter 239 Cooperation Postponed pulling his arm. The man frowned and looked at her. “If you were taking care of your tummy at home, there wouldn’t have been such trouble.”
Sensing his impatience, Alma felt even more wronged. “It’s all Lyra’s fault. I just went to ask her about how she contradicted my father yesterday. She actually dared to call the police.” Alma’s words were full of annoyance. “Don’t you understand me?” Hank looked at her chattering and said in a low voice. “I, I didn’t mean that.”
“But I can’t let her contradict my dad like that. If she really does make the Jones Group up in the future, where will we, Kensley family, put our face?” Alma explained. “My dad is so old…” Alma squeezed out a few drops of tears.
Hank was getting more and more agitated as he stepped into the car.
“Lyra’s company shouldn’t be able to grow, right?” Alma also squeezed in.
She was trying to see if Hank still cared about that woman! “Drive to the company.” When Alma asked this question, it was like a stone being thrown into the sea, unable to make a single splash.
She could not bear to give up and continued to mutter, “Ever since she was released from prison, her life became a mess. I think people like her should be locked up for a lifetime.”
Hank’s eyes became cold and he turned his head to look at Alma. The coldness in his gaze became stronger and stronger. How could a woman, who was going to be a mother, say such ruthless words?
Hank frowned and turned to look out of the window.
Not long after, Alma grabbed his sleeve. “Hank, what do you think that is? I’m not blind, right? The Jones Group?”
Hank followed the direction of her finger. A few workers were hanging the sign on the building.
She called her father’s company and told him about the Jones Group.
Lachlan was receiving guests. When he heard this news, he was also shocked. “What? A rat shit has ruined a pot of porridge!” The person sitting opposite him was Zongxing Priestley’s assistant, Wu Zheng. Lachlan blurted out these words. He realized that Wu Zheng was present, so he quickly coughed a few times. “Alright, let’s talk about it when I get back.” He put down his phone and personally poured tea for Wu Zheng. “I’m sorry, Mr. Wu. It’s a call from my daughter. It’s a small matter.”
“I heard that your daughter is the future Mrs. Barnwell?” Wu Zheng slowly raised his eyes and said with a faint smile.
“That’s right!”
Lachlan’s smile deepened and he answered with certainty. “But it seems that Mr. Barnwell and his ex-wife… “That is a crazy woman. Sooner or later, she will be locked up again.” In order to brag about his relationship with Hank and facilitate cooperation with Zongxing, Lachlan said a lot of nonsense.
Half an hour later, Wu Zheng walked out of the Kensley Group.
“Mr. Priestley, Lachlan said that the daughter of Old Jones is a crazy woman.” With one sentence, the other side was furious.
Chapter 239 Cooperation Postponed “Does the person surnamed Kensley really think of himself as someone important?” “Then Mr. Priestley, what about the cooperation with the Kensley Group…” “Postpone it!”
Zongxing hung up the phone in a harsh voice. He had never seen such a thick-skinned person as Lachlan. Back then, Drake had brought him to this circle and introduced him to many people. It had been a matter from many years ago, and many juniors were not clear about it. He could stand by and do nothing about the Jones family, but how could he be so ungrateful? “Cooperating with this kind of person will dirty the company’s reputation.” Zongxing snorted angrily. Looking at the chessboard in front of him, he lost interest. Just as Jasper went up the stairs, he heard a voice coming from the study. “My uncle is here?” he asked the butler. “Yes, he’s playing chess with Old Master in the study,” The butler replied respectfully. “Oh no.” Jasper slapped his forehead, turned around, and was about to run.
Unfortunately, he was still too slow. A dignified voice came from behind him, “Are you going to leave without entering the room?”
