Chapter 271 Deal
Huaien Barnwell’s words were reasonable. “Don’t worry, Second Uncle. I’ll think about it carefully and talk to Terry personally. I won’t let things get worse.”
“That’s good. No matter what, you are partners. Don’t make things too awkward. Besides, there are still several projects in the company that are under his control. You have to think carefully about the stakes.”
“Okay, I understand.” “Also, I saw the news. Is Lyra really with that kid from the Priestley family?” Huaien asked nosily. “I don’t know either,” Hank’s face darkened. Huaien pulled him and muttered a few more words before getting up and leaving. After sending him out, Hank thought for a while and pressed the internal phone. “Make an appointment with Vice President Xiao in the afternoon.” “Okay, Mr. Barnwell.” When the secretary called Terry, he was already sitting in the president’s office of the
Jones Group. Lyra was sitting opposite him. Jing and Su Yuan stood at the door, and both of them perked up their ears to listen to the movements inside. “Manager Priestley, do you think Ms. Jones will be in danger? Should I call the security guards downstairs, just in case?” “No need, just listen quietly.” Jing frowned with a vigilant look. In the office, Lyra sat calmly. “Vice President Xiao is so free to come here to drink tea?” “The Jones Group’s development prospects are so good now. Of course, I am here to talk business with you.” Terry put down his phone and smiled. “This is the evidence of corruption and bribery of the Barnwell group’s higher-ups. I need you to give these things to Hank.” He blatantly threw out a stack of money and a list.
“What do you mean?” “This way, you can threaten him and achieve the goal of making a comeback, and I can also benefit from it and achieve the best of both worlds.”
The atmosphere in the office became somewhat indescribable.
“I won’t do it.” Lyra’s eyebrows tightened. This answer was obviously something that Terry did not expect. “Ms. Jones is really… different from the others.” The hatred in Terry’s eyes suddenly became clear. He leaned forward a little, “This is not the first time you have rejected me. There is a limit to my patience.” “Not everyone is willing to be in cahoots with you. The Jones Group does not welcome you. Please leave.” Lyra answered very firmly. “Heh… Do you want to take revenge on Hank just like this? You won’t be able to do it in a few lifetimes!” Lyra’s expression became a little gloomy. After a long time, she turned around. There was no need to waste breath with someone like Terry. “Whether I can succeed or not is my business. It has nothing to do with you. Su Yuan, see the guest out.” Lyra clenched her fingers. Terry sneered and walked out.
Su Yuan was about to catch up when Jing stopped her. “I’ll go. You stay behind to accompany Ms. Jones.” Su Yuan felt very scared when she saw Terry just now. She naturally nodded. “Vice President Xiao, why did you come for Ms. Jones?” Jing quickly followed. “It has nothing to do with you.” Terry put a piece of gum into his mouth and looked at Jing with a calculating look, “I heard that you are going after Lyra. How is it going?” Jing’s eyes turned cold, and the lift door opened. He said coldly, “Please be careful with your words.”
“Tsk.”
“What are you pretending for?” Terry sneered. The lift door slowly closed. At the last minute, Jing pressed the button and also walked in.
“I have already heard the purpose of you looking for Lyra. I can do this for you.” “You?” Terry had always been wary of those who took the initiative to deliver themselves to his doorstep. Jing scratched his forehead, “As long as you can achieve your goal, why bother about the process?” “I didn’t expect that Zongxing’s son would be so bold.”
Upstairs in the office. Seeing that Lyra had not spoken, Su Yuan quietly stood to the side to accompany her. “Ms. Jones, do you want to make a cup of coffee for you?”
“No need.”
The expression on Terry’s face just now kept circling in Lyra’s mind. It was very strange, but she could not tell what was wrong. At this moment, her phone vibrated.
