Chapter 315 Plan
“Then are you going to let her continue like this? Lyra, you know better than me that Hank won’t like her.” This was a fact that Nore had been unwilling to admit. But he was also a man. He knew if Hank liked Alma, he would not delay for so long. Lyra lowered her eyes and did not speak. She did not want to think about it, nor did she dare to think about it. The atmosphere in the living room became a little depressing. “Forget it, let’s not talk about that anymore. I bought all the things you need. Take a look.” Nore sighed. “Then please help me send them to this address.”
This should be the last time she would trouble Nore.
Lyra handed him a note with the address of Uncle Zhang.
Nore put it away and felt that Lyra’s expression was not quite right, as if she was going to say goodbye to him forever.
But when Lyra said that she wanted to rest, he did not ask any more questions.
After Hank listened to the lawyer’s report on the latest progress, his face darkened. “In other words, the police will be sure that Lachlan is colluding with Terry. Is there nothing related to Alma?” Director Bai asked. Lawyer Liu nodded. “Yes, and according to the current evidence, Lachlan is indeed related to this matter. When there was a problem with the Barnwell group’s project, Alma was in the hospital waiting for delivery. In terms of time, she did not have the chance to act.”
Hank remained silent.
The door was pushed open, and Huaien was supported by his assistant as he walked
in.
“I heard that there is progress in the case? Hank, how is it?” he asked with concern.
“Second Uncle!” Hank invited him to sit down and then asked Lawyer Liu to go through the case again. Huaien suddenly realized, “No wonder. I heard that Terry had treated Lachlan to a meal before. It turns out that the two of them are already on the same boat.” After he finished speaking, he saw that Hank was still thinking about something. “Hank, do you think this evidence is worthless?” he asked with a smile.
“Terry exposed it himself. He instructed Alma to do this. Now that Kensley family has been found with such evidence, I can only think that it was Lachlan who was protecting his daughter. The real person who did this is Alma.” Or perhaps, Lachlan was also involved, and both father and daughter could not escape responsibility. Director Bai and Lawyer Liu looked at each other and did not speak. “This is also Barnwell family’s family business. Can I invite you two to go out and have a cup of tea? I want to talk to Hank alone.” Huaien smiled, his attitude gentle and polite. “Okay, Vice President.” Director Bai immediately stood up. Hank was ruthless, and only Huaien’s words could persuade him. In the conference room, only the uncle and nephew were left. Huaien slowly sighed, “Hank, I have known Lachlan for many years. He is not a capable person, but he has high standards and is greedy for vanity. I believe that he has benefited from Terry and colluded with him.” “But Alma is still young. She still has a future. You have registered your marriage with her. If she is implicated, the outside world will definitely guess that she has a secret relationship with Terry. At that time, it will hurt you and her very badly.” “Second Uncle, what do you mean?” Hank slowly turned his head. “Since Lachlan can bear everything, let him bear it. Even if you don’t consider Alma, you have to consider your child.”
After Huaien finished speaking, he raised his wrist and patted Hank on the shoulder. “You also know how important a warm family is to a child’s growth.”
Thump.
The taut string in Hank’s heart broke.
The pain he experienced when he was a child now often turned into nightmares, making him unable to sleep all night.
