Chapter 384 Unable to Explain
She reluctantly closed the door. When she arrived at the Barnwell family, the person who opened the door was Alma. “You came really quickly. He has already fallen asleep. Should I help you wake him up?” Alma tilted her head and smiled. She looked like a hostess and her cheeks were slightly tipsy. Obviously, she had drunk some wine.
The room was filled with a faint smell of wine. It inevitably made Lyra feel that she was the one who should not have appeared. “Don’t misunderstand him. I came here by myself. I only drank a few mouthfuls of his wine. He didn’t know at all.”
“What are you trying to do?” Lyra frowned. She had spent a lot of effort trying to deal with Huaien, but Alma was willing to be the chess piece in that person’s hands. If this continued, how could the matter end?
Alma smiled indifferently, and the smile on her lips grew deeper and deeper.
“Even at this time, you still refuse to tell me the truth. What can I do? Of course, I need to snatch Hank back.”
She wanted to win against Lyra, and this was the fastest way. Moreover, she didn’t want to have Hank. Once she succeeded, she would kick him away. Lyra frowned and didn’t say a word. “What? Only you can get back together with him, and I can’t? Besides, you haven’t got remarried yet. You are not qualified to lecture me.” Alma sneered. She loosened her grip and turned to walk into the living room. “It’s up to you whether you want to come in or not.” She walked lightly between the sofa and the coffee table. She swayed her feet and lay down on the sofa.
“Alma, you…” “Huh?”
“Actually, it’s not impossible for us to serve a man together,” she said with a charming smile.
Lyra rushed over and gave her a slap. When she retracted her hand, she was also shocked.
Alma appeared very calm. She slowly lifted her eyes and her smile gradually deepened. “Who are you to hit me? Sister?” Lyra could not believe what she had heard.
She knew!
Did Huaien tell her, or Lachlan?
She looked at Alma, her eyes shaking with chaotic emotions, and her heartbeat that could not be suppressed was deafening. “Don’t look at me with a gaze full of pity and sympathy. How am I worthy for you to worry about me? You can become your Mrs. Barnwell again, and you don’t have to care about my life at all, because you never thought of recognizing me! No matter what kind of life I live in the Kensley family, you don’t have to care!” Alma growled, a look of contempt on her face. “Oh, I almost forgot. You hated me a long time ago. You hated me for snatching Hank away. It’s your shame to have a sister like me.” Her words seemed to turn into knives that pierced through Lyra’s heart. “Who told you that?”
The smile on Alma’s lips grew even wider. “Is this question important?” She immediately turned around and circled around the Barnwell family’s living room. “Since I was a child, I have always been the apple in their eye. I grew up in Lachlan’s hands. But ever since I met you, my life has been like a broken mirror that can never be restored to its original state.”
“From the beginning, Lachlan was lying to you.” Lyra endured it but still did not tell her the truth about her father’s death.
The culprit who caused the Jones family to become like this today and made them separate for several years was Lachlan.
