Chapter 503 You Are Not Worthy
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot. She watched as the elevator door closed and felt a chill down her spine. She never expected that Hank would be so cold to her. “Brother Hank…” Where did the young man in her memory go? When Qiao Lin appeared, Qin Xiaoxiao was still in a daze at the elevator door. “Vice President Barnwell is calling you.” He suddenly said, and Qin Xiaoxiao was so scared that her eyes shook.
“What?”
Qiao Lin grabbed her wrist and reminded her coldly, “You’ve already boarded this ship. There’s no way you can go back on your word. Besides, you know so much. Vice President Barnwell will never let you go.” Qin Xiaoxiao bit her lips hard. “No… I still have a choice. If I tell Hank now, he will definitely help me.” Her hands trembled as she took out her phone from her bag. “I have a recording and evidence. I want to expose everything.” “You are a smart girl. Why do you have to do such a stupid thing?” Qiao Lin pressed his eyebrows and suddenly chuckled. Qin Xiaoxiao did not understand what he meant. In the next second, she did not see Qiao Lin’s movements clearly. Her bag and phone were all taken away. “Those who want to betray Vice President Barnwell will not have a good ending. Lachlan is a living example. You are also an adult. Do you really think benefits come with no price?” If not for Huaien, Qin Xiaoxiao would still be an ordinary college student. There would be no chance to enter the Barnwell group’s internship, no chance to be interviewed by reporters, and wear branded bags and clothes. But all of this was a conspiracy from the beginning. She was well aware of this, but because of her greed, she willingly became their accomplice. Now that she had ended up like this, she had only herself to blame. Qiao Lin brought her back to the door of the sick room. In the end, he was softhearted and warned her in a low voice, “I won’t tell Vice President Barnwell about what
happened today. In the future, you have to be careful.” Qin Xiaoxiao didn’t have the time to say anything. She had already been pushed into the ward. Seeing Huaien waving at her, Qin Xiaoxiao timidly and nervously stepped forward to admit her mistake. “I didn’t catch up with him.” The fruits on the ground were still scattered there. “Get ready. I will send you to Barnwell family tonight.” Huaien did not blame her. “But, Hank doesn’t want to… see me at all.” The more Qin Xiaoxiao spoke, the softer her voice became. Her eyes were humble and timid. In the end, she pursed her lips and lowered her head. “Yes, I will get ready.” Huaien smiled in satisfaction. “You have been tired during this period of time. Don’t worry, there will be a day when everything is over.” Huaien said, his eyes half-narrowed. It was as if he was playing with everyone in his palm. Just looking at his eyes made Qin Xiaoxiao’s hair stand on end.
Huaien did not avoid anyone’s visits, nor did he refuse to meet the media reporters. What he said was like solid evidence, blaming everything on Lyra. However, he still seriously advised those reporters. “This is also our Barnwell family’s family matter. I hope everyone can show mercy.” Everyone thought that Huaien was a kind elder and even speculated that he was already threatened by Hank. Alma was in a difficult situation in the detention center. The ‘friends’ who had been taking care of her began to distance themselves from her. Every time she went to do psychological counseling, those people would look at her with disgust.
“What exactly do you want?” Alma angrily kicked the basin in front of her. But the next second, she was surrounded by a group of people. The leader, Sister Xia, sneered at her. “People like you are heartless. Oh no, you have no conscience. Your sister is so good to you, but you are blinded by greed.” Alma’s eyes turned cold. “You know Lyra?”
She asked this at this time, and there was a burst of laughter around her.
