Chapter 257 The Extra Compensation
Hank’s words stabbed into Lyra’s heart. She felt as if she had been seen through, unable to hide her thoughts at all. “Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. You have to consider your own life as well. Jing and the other students can only provide you with some suggestions, and I am the one who can satisfy all your dreams.” Hank’s words struck straight into Lyra’s heart. “This table of dishes, you can eat as you like. I will go out and not disturb you.” He knew that she would be unhappy to see him, so he simply gave up the space to give her some privacy. The guard in Lyra’s heart melted with the sound of the door closing. “How good it would be if you could have done this two years ago!” Outside the door. Jing circled the corridor twice but failed to find Lyra. Instead, he saw Hank standing at the door of the private room. “Mr. Barnwell?” Jing subconsciously pushed the door open and entered the private room behind him. “Lyra is inside, right?” The wrist wearing the branded watch stopped him at the right time. “There is my guest inside. You are not qualified to compete with me.” Hank’s position in the business world was enough to be on equal footing with Zongxing’s generation. Even Zongxing and the others had to worry about Hank’s thoughts and opinions. Jing had just left school not long ago. If they were to compare, even ten of him would not be a match for Hank. However, he was young and impetuous, so he insisted on barging in. “You have no right to interfere with her freedom.” “Really? You chased after her and used your father’s relationship with her family to be aggressive. How much respect do you have for her? What’s more, do you know that she gave up studying abroad for me?” Hank glanced over coldly. Jing was stunned on the spot, unable to speak at all. “If there must be someone to help her make up for this regret, that person can only be me, understand?”
He had enough strength to send Lyra to any high school she wanted to go to within a month, not like Jing, who had to go through all the so-called processes.
There was even less of a need for her to be judged. Hank’s way of doing things had always been the most direct. He would use all means to achieve his goal.
Endure? Tolerance?
These words would never exist in his dictionary. Since he had already made his mind clear, he would not give up the opportunity to take care of Lyra to anyone. Moreover, the other party was a fledgling who did not know anything. “Also, tell that female classmate of yours that if she dares to criticize Lyra behind her back, she should be ready to be expelled.” Jing’s face darkened, and his heart was filled with anger. Hank did not mind at all. He slowly rubbed the buttons on his sleeves. “You clearly heard everything outside the bathroom just now, but you did not come forward to stop it. Just based on this, you are not worthy.” Some choices were destined to end in the beginning. The anger in Jing’s eyes slowly dissipated. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain.
However, Hank only smiled contemptuously and turned to leave.
Jing stood in place, hesitating and struggling for a long time. In the end, he did not have the courage to push open the door.
He had indeed heard the unpleasant words that Han Jia had said, but he did not stop her. He took into account his friendship with his friends and chose to let Lyra face those criticisms alone. Now that he was exposed in front of Hank, he felt ashamed. Just based on this point, he could not compare to Hank’s courage. At this time, Lyra was sitting in the private room, looking at the table full of delicious food. Her mind was filled with the words that Hank had said. “Send me to study abroad?”
“Ha…”
She was not moved, only helpless.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, Lyra got up and walked out. The laughter coming from the private room made her feel as if she had been through a lifetime. In the past, she could also have such a bright and beautiful social circle.
But now, she could no longer go back. No matter how much he made up for it, she no longer felt touched and longed for it.
