Chapter 511 Being Criticized for Being Useless
In Hank’s eyes, this aunt in front of him was the second elder he had met other than Lyra’s father. When they got married, they did not have any other relatives, so he treated Rae with respect. Unexpectedly, the other party did not treat him as a guest at all. “So what?”
She was stunned for two seconds and said indifferently, “In this era, as long as she is outstanding enough, the person who truly loves her will not care about this. Could it be that you are discriminating against divorced women?” “… That’s not what I meant.” “Then what do you mean? You are not trying to say that you are responsible for this child, are you?” Rae walked up to Hank and suddenly seemed to realize something. Hank nodded. “I do think so,” he said seriously. “Then you don’t have to think about it. I will be the first to disagree.” Rae did not even look at his expression. She went around and poured a cup of tea. She said slowly, “Our family’s daughter will not turn back. Since you have divorced once, it means that you are not suitable.” After she finished speaking, she did not forget to glance back at Hank, “You are even worse than Drake.”
Hank was criticized for being useless.
Most importantly, after Rae expressed her opinion, she still felt that it was not
satisfying enough. She also mentioned what she had learned from the news for the past few days. “Your company has had so many problems recently. As a man, you don’t know how to run a business. You say you have to be responsible for her and the child. But how can you be responsible in such a sorry state?” “Do you want the child to suffer with the two of you as soon as he is born?” “She is pregnant and her mind is not clear, which is understandable, but you can’t lose your mind! Do you think it is easy to raise a child?” Hank could not refute every sentence. He could only admit that he was the one who lacked consideration. After being scolded, he was willing to leave the Jones family. In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Rae watched Hank get in the car and clicked
her tongue helplessly. “His resistance against harsh words is far worse than your father’s.” “Did you also oppose my mother marrying my father?” Lyra was stunned. “No, but I don’t want your mother to suffer. As a result…” Rae held the cup and shook her head.
She suddenly choked up. “Women just can’t go back. Lyra, remember what I said. God won’t give you too many chances to go back on your words. He has freed you from this sad marriage, which is already a hint to you.” She put down the teacup, walked to Lyra, and gently held her hand. “Escaping is not the way to solve things, but if you really put it down, it can make you freer and happier. Do you understand what I mean?” Lyra did not understand. However, Rae had already let go of her hand and took a few steps up the stairs. “The decoration of this house is not bad, but there are still some places that need to be refurbished. I can stay with you for a while when I come back this time.” As she spoke, it was as if she had already regarded this place as her own home.
…
The Barnwell group’s stock price rose and fell. When Keith and the department managers reported to Hank, the man looked calm. “Mr. Barnwell, now the board of directors are in a hurry to get an answer. What do you think?” Manager Zhang wiped the sweat on his forehead and was about to go crazy. “Mr. Barnwell needs time to think about it,” Keith said timely.
“What answer?” the man suddenly asked. The managers present were stunned for two seconds. Did he not listen to what they had just reported? After all, Hank’s eyes at this time were like a sleepwalker’s. It was only when Keith leaned closer and said it again that Hank responded, “Just do as you reported.” “Thank you, Mr. Barnwell.” Manager Zhang immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Shifting the project to the subsidiary company could ease the pressure of the headquarters, and secondly, it could divert the attention of media reporters. For the company, it could quell the pressure of public opinion in a short period of time. However, it would harm the interests of some people. When the news was released within the company, Huaien received a few complaints from several directors.
“Vice President Barnwell, you can’t just let it go like this, right? The company needs you to come back and preside over the overall situation. We all support you to become the company’s president.”
“Now it seems that Mr. Barnwell is not in the mood to run the company at all.”
Then, the headline tomorrow would be like this: the rich businessman Mr. Barnwell chased after his ex-wife but got rejected. Hank sat in the car and only heard Keith persuade him from the side, “How about you stay here and let me go check on it?” If there were reporters, or if Lyra was not willing to open the door for him… then despite losing face, wouldn’t it confirm the rumors?
Who knew that Hank was so determined? “I still have things to deal with. I can’t retreat.”
