Chapter 324 He Would Not Give Up
He even hoped to see Lyra jealous.
However, she was so calm that no matter how much he tried to deceive her, she couldn’t tell him the truth. A few minutes later, Hank looked at the empty chair in front of him. There was only a faint bitter smile on his face and a hint of self-mockery. “Mr. Barnwell, don’t think too highly of yourself. I only pity Alma. As for whether you two can grow old together or not, it has nothing to do with me.” Lyra’s words were still lingering in his ears when she left. After she finished speaking, she called Nore and walked out. However, her footsteps were very unstable and she was getting faster and faster. Only when she got into Nore’s car did she grasp the door handle and take a few deep breaths.
“Lyra, are you alright?” Nore looked at her worriedly. “Let’s go. I’m afraid there will be reporters.” Lyra nodded in a muffled voice. Hank was deliberately lying to her. That day at the press conference, he deliberately let herself hear the conversation between Terry and Lachlan. Today, he calculated that she would come here. Everything was under his control. Lyra covered her forehead, unable to calm down for a long time. No wonder Alma was so agitated today. It turned out that Hank had forced her to sign that kind of contract. According to Alma’s personality, she would most likely pester Hank to no end, or use all her strength to approach him.
Lyra wrapped her windbreaker tightly, and her expression darkened a bit. “What did Hank show you just now?” Nore asked as he turned on the air-conditioning in the car.
He heard their conversation, but he did not see what Hank had taken out. “His contract with Alma. They agreed that marriage registration is invalid. Why can’t a man just be satisfied? What is he trying so hard for?” Lyra said slowly. “Lyra…”
“Alma has indeed done a lot of w good thing.”
The more Lyra spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice became louder.
Thump. Nore suddenly stopped in his tracks. Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Lucy shook her head helplessly. “Nore, quickly go back to your room.” “Dad, you don’t have to worry that I will give up the company’s business because of Lyra. Since I have already entered this circle, I will not leave.” Lucy’s eyes lit up with joy. Nore was willing to say this to give his father a way out. However, Nore’s next sentence made the couple speechless. “When I was about to be crippled, it was Lyra who was by my side. Now that she has encountered a very troublesome matter, I can’t just ignore it, right? Besides, I never intended to give up on her, never.” After he finished speaking, he went straight upstairs. “You…” Hanming pointed at him angrily. “Alright, alright. I think that Lyra is pretty good. The news are all clickbait. She is not that kind of person.” “That won’t do!” “The Lubi family will not want that kind of woman to be our daughter-in-law. My business will be left to Nore in the future,” Hanming said fiercely. “Yes, yes, yes,” Lucy agreed. When Hanming returned to his room to rest, she knocked on Nore’s door again. “Nore, have a chat with Mom.” Nore hesitated for a moment before opening the door. “Give this to Lyra.” Lucy handed him a necklace. “Mom, she is not like Xu Ya. She won’t change her mind just because you gave her a gift.” Nore frowned. If Lyra was so greedy and vain, he would be more confident. Unfortunately, money could not buy her.
Seeing his son so depressed, Lucy forced the necklace over. “I know that you really like her. Mom won’t harm you. Open it and take a look,” said Lucy. Nore frowned and opened the necklace box.
It was a very authentic emerald necklace. One look and one could tell that it was expensive. “Mom, this is too valuable.”
“Brat, now you know that I am on your side? This necklace originally belonged to the Jones family. When their family was in trouble, someone took a lot of jewelry to sell. I heard that it was a woman.” “It was also a coincidence that I took a fancy to this necklace. Take it and return it to Lyra. Maybe it will close the distance between you two. Even if she still refused in the end, it can be considered as me thanking her for taking care of you so sincerely.” “Mom, thank you for understanding me,” Nore said, clutching the necklace.
