Chapter 372 Unexpected Invitation
As soon as Lyra entered the room, she heard Hank’s voice from behind her. “Wait a minute.”
“I know you don’t want to talk to me about personal matters, so let’s talk about business.” He caught up with her in a few steps and calmed his breathing. “Hank, if I knew that you were such a pestering person before I got married, I might not have agreed to your proposal.” Lyra sighed.
“It has long been over, understand?”
In her opinion, only directly refusing was the wisest way to deal with his pestering. The door closed, and Hank turned around helplessly. She was talking and laughing with Xuanze, and she had such a cold look when with him. Perhaps, he should really let it go. The rest of the meeting went very smoothly. The Barnwell group had other urgent matters to deal with. Hank had been in the room all the time and did not see anyone. Lyra heard Su Yuan mention this and did not take it to heart. That night, the video of her being interviewed at the TV station was posted online, and at the same time, she received the news from the overseas design college that she had applied to. “Miss Jones, if you are still interested in jewelry design, you are very welcome to come to our college for a half-year exchange study.” When Lyra saw this news, she almost shouted out in excitement. How much she had hoped for such an opportunity in the past! Even now, she was still very tempted. Perhaps, she could give it a try again. “Ms. Jones, are you really going to study abroad for design studies? Then the company…” On one hand, Su Yuan was happy for Lyra, but on the other hand, she felt very disappointed.
After all, now was the time when the company needed Lyra most.
If she were to leave for half a year, she might not be able to hold on to the current situation.
“Don’t worry, I don’t have this idea at the moment. Although this is indeed good news, it is too late for me.” Lyra looked at Su Yuan and smiled. She was no longer the one who could be carefree and only think about herself.
“Ms. Jones…” Su Yuan had complicated emotions in her eyes. She looked at Lyra for a while, as if she had something to say. “Don’t think too much. I just want to share it with you. Alright, go and rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow.” Su Yuan nodded and left Lyra’s room. Just as Su Yuan left, there was another knock on the door. Lyra frowned subconsciously. It was not Hank, but an employee of the Barnwell group. “Ms. Jones, there is something here. Vice President Barnwell asked me to give it to you.” As soon as Lyra took it, the employee turned and left. She shook the box and closed the door. The box was not big. When the lid was opened, there was nothing inside. Other than a few old photos, there was a handwritten contract.
The words written on it were heart-piercing.
“Took the newborn baby girl away from the nurse Chen at Linjiang Town Hospital.” The name of Lachlan was clearly on it! Lyra held the piece of paper, her fingers trembling, and she immediately dialed Huaien’s number.
The call was quickly connected, and Huaien asked with deep meaning, “I am one of the people who knew what happened back then. I have long wanted to tell you about this matter.”
“Who, on the earth, sold Alma?”
Her biological parents would never have done such a thing. When she was a child, she had indeed heard her family say that when her mother gave birth to her, it was difficult for her to give birth. She had obviously two children, but in the end, only one went back to the Jones family with her mother. At that time, a lot of things happened in that small town. Her mother was bedridden for half a year ever since.
