Chapter 252 To Get What She Wanted
Lawyer Liu gripped his black briefcase and shook his head vigorously. “Ms. Jones, I really want to help you, but my career has just begun. I have no right to fight the Barnwell group.” “This is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself. Are you sure you don’t want to go in?” Lawyer Liu laughed dryly. Looking up at the towering building in front of him, he still shook his head. “Ms. Jones, this deal…” Before he finished speaking, his phone rang. Seeing that he was hesitating, Lyra did not force him and walked alone to the Barnwell group.
Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, Lawyer Liu caught up with her and her attitude changed 180 degrees. “Have you figured it out?” “Yes, yes, yes. I think you are right. I have to seize the opportunity!” Lawyer Liu said with a mysterious smile. The lift door closed and Lawyer Liu took a deep breath. He did not expect rich people’s games to be so amazing. Hank’s assistant had asked him to accompany Lyra to sue the Barnwell group and promised to give him a reward. The most important thing was that he had to keep it a secret from Lyra. This was a cheap bargain, which only a fool would refuse! “I’m looking for Keith.” The staff at the front desk saw that it was Lyra and said with a smile, “Okay, Ms. Jones, I’ll take you in.” Lyra lowered her voice and told Lawyer Liu, “Don’t be nervous. Just do what I tell you to do.” “Don’t worry.” Lawyer Liu nodded repeatedly. When Keith received the news, he appeared at the door of Hank’s office and pretended to be surprised. “Ms. Jones? Why are you here? The company is still investigating the cause of the accident.”
“There’s no need to investigate. I’ve already found it out. I want to see Hank. I have something to say.” Lyra’s words were firm and decisive.
“This… no problem. I will arrange it for you. Who is this?” Keith frowned slightly. Lawyer Liu secretly laughed. Keith’s acting was really good. “He is my lawyer. Where is Hank?” Lyra didn’t want to waste time. This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, and she had to attack by surprise. “In the conference room, please follow me.” Keith turned around and led them inside. On the other side, the employee who had brought them upstairs dialed a number. “Tell Vice President Xiao that Lyra has come to the company with a lawyer.” The other side immediately said, “Keep an eye on them. Vice President Xiao will arrive at the company immediately! Don’t let Lyra leave.”
In the conference room. There were three contracts in front of Hank, all signed privately by Terry and Director Qin, which involved the cooperation with the Kensley and Xu Groups. “Mr. Barnwell, I can really explain this. At that time, Vice President Xiao came to me and said that you knew about this case. Otherwise, I would never have dared to do such a thing!” Director Qin’s old face drooped and he regretted it. Beside him, Director Bai braced himself and helped. “Mr. Barnwell, Vice President Xiao and Director Qin were also thinking about the future of the company. I believe that they had no ill intentions.” “No ill intentions?” Hank raised his eyebrows in contempt. He glanced outside the glass door and raised his hand.
Keith immediately brought Lyra and Lawyer Liu inside. “Mr. Barnwell, Ms. Jones said she has something to discuss with you,” Keith reported. Hank looked over with cold eyes. His eyes were calm and unfathomable. They swept through the crowd and finally fell on Lyra. “What is it?”
The displeasure in his tone was much less than before. He had always had a different attitude to Lyra. Keith frowned slightly. His boss’s acting was getting better and better. It was clearly him who had arranged for Lawyer Liu to help Lyra avoid the lawsuit. Now, he had already predicted Lyra’s intention and bribed Lawyer Liu with a commission higher than the market price. Everything was just a game of chess in his hands.
Now the person involved was right in front of him, but he could be so calm. He just did not know if he could hide it from Lyra, or what her reaction would be if Lyra knew the truth in the future. “I suspect that you are going to go back on your word.” Lyra met his gaze, neither servile nor overbearing.
“What?”
