Chapter 481 Put on an Act
However, he was not the only one who knew how important Lyra was to him. His good uncle also knew it very well.
Hank looked at her face carefully under the light. “Why is it never the best time?” he murmured between his lips. After that, he took a few steps back. “After I leave, lock the door. No one should come again.” Lyra watched him go out and immediately ran to the window, watching him walk out of the Jones family’s door. She immediately closed the curtains and locked all the doors and windows. After she was done, she carefully went upstairs. After locking the door, she took the baseball bat and put it on the bed. What she did not know was that the man returned. He stayed in the car for the whole night.
The next morning. Lyra opened her eyes early in the morning and immediately changed her clothes. She went straight to the Barnwell group. As she expected, she had just arrived downstairs when she saw the reporters
“I heard that Hank is back. I guess those debts will be shouldered by him.” “The company must be responsible for such a thing. However, now the Barnwell group’s related business has been handed over to Huaien. Perhaps he had noticed beforehand and had been prepared for it.”
“He’s here, he’s here!”
When the reporters saw a car drive to the door, they all raised their cameras and went over.
However, they did not expect that the person who got out of the car was neither Hank nor Huaien, but Terry, who had already shed all pretense of cordiality with the Barnwell group.
He was dressed in a branded suit, and his gaze swept over the camera. “Get lost.” These words, coupled with his fierce expression, made the reporters retreat one after another.
“What is he doing here?” A group of whispers rose and fell. Lyra sighed and looked in that direction. She turned and walked to the exit of the underground garage. From there, she should be able to sneak in. Reality proved that she was not the only one who thought this way. As soon as she arrived nearby, she saw Keith sneakily hiding behind the trees. Lyra called out to him, startling him. “Miss Jones?” Keith looked at Lyra, then looked at the door of the underground garage. “You don’t want to enter the company from here, do you?” Lyra did not wait for an answer. He immediately dragged her out. “No, Mr. Barnwell said before that you must not appear in front of them.” This was also to protect her. Lyra was very touched when she saw Keith’s serious and responsible expression. If they were not still here, this company would have already changed owners. She smiled and patted Keith’s arm. “Don’t worry, he knows.” If Hank made up his mind and did not want her to come, he would not have told her yesterday.
Keith obviously did not expect it to be like this. He was stunned for two seconds and asked tentatively, “Mr. Barnwell really knows?” “Why don’t we go in and ask him? You will know. Let’s go, lest the reporters find out,” Lyra said with a smile. “Miss Jones, wait for me,” Keith ran after her.
Lyra was focused on how to sneak in, and also on the purpose of Terry’s visit. At this time, in the conference room on the top floor of the Barnwell group Building.
All the directors gathered together, each muttering to the people around them about the future of the company. “What should we do?” “I think Mr. Barnwell can’t do it this time. Should we…” Huaien pushed open the door and walked in with Qiao Lin. He looked up at the crowd and coughed heavily. “Everyone, I am very sorry. Because of our Barnwell family’s
family affairs, I have caused you so much trouble. I am here to apologize to everyone.” He moved his walking stick away and bowed in public.
