Chapter 495 For Her, It Was Worth It
Charles was clearly surprised. “I didn’t know that Mr. Barnwell was such a person.” As he spoke, Hank’s eyebrows slowly furrowed, his gaze deep and profound. “I was indeed not like that before.” When he was doing business, he had always considered things thoroughly. Everything was for profit, just like when he wanted to marry Lyra. His heart was only filled with one thing, and he never cared about others’ feelings. He had never even thought that his actions would cause her life and marriage to fall into endless pain. He had never considered how sad she would be. Today, all the confusion in front of him was a punishment given to him by the heavens. “As long as the Lijin family refuses to cooperate with Dingyi group, the Barnwell group will immediately start a plan. At that time, the gold mine resources in the Lijin family will be the most popular. The right to enter the domestic market will be in your hands.” Using the thing that the other party needed the most as bait was the usual method of
a successful businessman. This pie was something that both Dingyi group and the Lijin family wanted. The Barnwell group was willing to let the Lijin family benefit and successfully win over Charles. Or, it could be said that they could stand on the united front. The price Hank offered was exactly what he wanted. “Fortunately, we are not enemies.” Charles curled his lips. “I heard that the Lijin family has arranged a blind date for you. I wish you a suitable partner as soon as possible.” Hank said indifferently. Men often understood men the best. “I understand, I understand.” Charles smiled. This was Hank hinting at him not to have any thoughts about Lyra, or else the consequences would be very serious.
In the police interrogation room. Ellie’s eyes were full of anger, “You are slandering! Our family is doing proper business. When…”
“These few people have visited your hotel many times. You should know very well what kind of business the Lijin family does.” The female police officer sat opposite the inquiry table and warned sternly, “Ellie, we are now asking routine questions. You must cooperate.”
The men in the photos all had fierce eyes and guns. Ellie was shocked. She thought that these people were just Charles’s assistants or drivers.
It turned out that they were all people with blood on their hands.
For a moment, all her panic was seen by the police officer. “Start over again. What is your relationship with Charles? How did you know each other? What did he do during the week he came to China?” Ellie’s head hung lower and lower. After more than three hours of questioning, she was still frightened by those questions. Although she did understand the business scope of the Lijin family, she never thought that they were not partners that she could control.
“Ellie, please don’t leave the country in the near future. If there is a need, we will summon you again.” The female police officer was already very polite. The corridor became empty again. “The Hunter family did not send a driver to pick you up.” When Ellie heard Lyra’s voice, her entire body became unhappy. “You still have the face to say such things to me? If not for you, I wouldn’t have to suffer like this!” Ever since Ellie returned to the Hunter family, she had enjoyed the treatment of a rich young lady. She never thought that she would be humiliated like this one day.
