Chapter 336 I Will Not Touch Others
He sat on the sofa on the other side, his cold eyes looking at Lyra with a fake smile. “When did you know?” Lyra’s fingers were clasped in her palms, and she placed the phone on the table. “What?”
He asked despite knowing the answer. “My relationship with Alma,” Lyra said straightforwardly. “It doesn’t matter. The most important thing now is what you want to do.” Hank leaned back and said in a low voice.
She could not hide the truth forever. Sooner or later, she would tell Alma the truth.
However, with Alma’s personality, she might not accept it. ” If she was still the daughter of Kensley family, then Kensley family’s assets would all belong to her, but if her background was publicly known, Lachlan would not leave a
single cent for her. No matter how crafty Alma’s personality was, she was Lyra’s only relative in this world. Even if he did not ask, Hank could imagine how much torment Lyra had been through this period of time. He did not want to force her. However, these things would be revealed sooner or later. Rather than considering it at that time, it was better to think of a way to deal with it sooner. He didn’t want to see Lyra fall into confusion again because of this matter. “That’s my business. It has nothing to do with you.” The corners of Hank’s lips curled up. He had already thought that she would say this. “Then why don’t I call Keith now and tell him that we can send the news out.” Hank pretended to take out his phone. He had already grasped Lyra’s emotions.
“No.”
“What will it take for you to let me go?” Lyra gritted her teeth. “That’s our Jones family’s business. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, you already planned to kick her away, right?” When it came to the matter of heartlessness, Hank was really good at it.
“Yes.”
Hank’s eyes suddenly became deep and bottomless. “I never thought of letting her enter Barnwell family’s door. If not for the fact that the
child could be Barnwell family’s blood, I would have done it long ago. Unfortunately, she and Terry went too far.” The man said and dialed Keith’s number in front of Lyra. “Let’s start.”
Then he put his phone on the table. Three minutes later, his phone was full of calls from the Barnwell group’s directors. There were also a few calls from Huaien. Hank turned around and looked at the distant coastline. His voice was cold. “In your eyes, I may be a very heartless person, but there is nothing I can do. This world is a jungle. People are cannibals. If I don’t do what is necessary to survive, I would’ve been fed to the sharks already.”
Lyra suddenly did not know what to say. The truth was indeed so. If he wasn’t acting, but had really suffered brain damage, then right now… he would probably be buried in a fish’s stomach.
That person, Terry, was indeed more ruthless than him.
It was not wrong to protect himself. “Then what do you plan to do to Kensley family?” Lyra lowered her eyes and asked
slowly. “What do you want me to do? If you ask, I might let Alma go.” “Really?” Lyra’s eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed. She did not want Hank to get involved in her own affairs. What right did she have to manipulate his decisions and thoughts? Hank saw through her thoughts at a glance. He naturally took a glass of red wine from the wine cabinet. He turned around, his movements elegant and relaxed. The voice seemed to come from a distant place. All of a sudden, it hit Lyra’s heart. “We should have talked peacefully long ago.” Lyra frowned. She had never wanted to argue with him, but what was there to talk about?
“I am very sorry about your father’s death.”
Hank took the initiative to mention it.
