Chapter 496 Love Master
When Lyra walked into the meeting room, Alma was already sitting inside. She seemed to have lost weight, but her eyes were even more clear and bright. Seeing Lyra come to see her, Alma immediately smiled and waved at her. But then, she saw Hank behind Lyra. Alma’s expression was absent-minded. She lowered her head and did not speak. Lyra picked up the microphone and knocked on the glass. Alma still did not respond.
“I should go out first.” Hank’s eyes darkened.
As soon as he went out, Alma slowly looked up, but when she looked at Lyra, she did not have the feeling of expectation and excitement like before. On the contrary, there was a sense of disappointment. “I brought you some things. After the examination, they will be delivered to you,” Lyra said, looking at her seriously.
“I know why you came to see me. Because the court is about to start soon. You and the lawyer are worried that I will change the confession, right?” Alma lowered his eyes. After saying that, Alma slammed the microphone and turned to leave. She did not give Lyra a chance to speak. “I thought you believed me, but you were the same as them!” she shouted through the glass.
“No…”
Bang.
After the door was closed, Alma refused to see anyone, even the lawyer.
Lyra took a deep breath, slowly moved her feet, and walked out. Hank stood in the corridor. Seeing her face, he guessed what happened. “She just didn’t think it through. Give her some time,” Hank said in a low voice. But Lyra just shook her head, “There’s no time. The court will start the day after tomorrow. If… Lachlan’s case has no conclusion, it will be more difficult to solve the case in the future.”
No lawyer would be willing to accept this kind of case from years ago. If not for the fact that Alma was once a celebrity, the media wouldn’t have paid so much attention to her.
Lyra felt depressed and even somewhat regretful. If she hadn’t come, perhaps things wouldn’t have been so bad.
“It’s not your fault.” Hank reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “You’ve already done enough. Leave the rest to God.” His indifferent tone was like that of a person who stayed out of it.
Lyra gritted her teeth.
“If the case can’t be settled this time, my dad will always be the scapegoat for Lachlan. I have to clarify the whole thing. Only then will the matter be considered over for us.”
She didn’t want to owe him all the time. She wanted them to not owe each other anything.
But… Hank’s eyes were cold, and he said in a muffled voice, “You worked so hard to facilitate this matter because you are in a hurry to draw a clear line with me.” Lyra did not make a sound. The man’s chest could not help but surge with anger. However, he suppressed his emotions for the sake of Lyra’s pregnancy. “Let’s go home first.” “I’m not being unreasonable and I don’t want to quarrel with you. I just think we can’t go on like this.” Lyra’s voice was very soft, and she was rational at this time.
She was more clear-headed than ever, and she was discussing their relationship without any extreme emotions.
