Chapter 95 Comparing
However, no one could explain why Hank did not do so. They were no longer husband and wife, but they always appeared in everyone’s sight together, not as a couple, though. Therefore, many discussions appeared among the surrounding guests. “I think that Lyra is more suitable for Mr. Barnwell. That Alma is like a flower vase. She is a lot worse than Lyra.” “Sigh, if not for the fact that the Jones family fell, the two of them would really be a
good couple.”
“Just now, why did Alma mention the Jones family for no reason? It must be because she knew clearly in her heart that she couldn’t compare to Lyra. That’s why she played such a small trick. I really don’t know why Mr. Barnwell would like her.” “She knows how to act like a spoiled child…”
Everyone watched helplessly as Alma nestled in Hank’s arms as if she had no bones. “Hank, I really didn’t mean it that way. Don’t listen to her.” At this time, Hank swept his cold eyes over, and his gaze was gloomy. With a look, Alma bit the corner of her lips gloomily and did not dare to make a sound. Lyra chuckled and turned to look at Mr. Chen, who had just chatted with Hank about business. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. “If the two of you discuss other aspects of cooperation, I may not have the right to speak. But if it is about the few cargo ships parked at the ferry, I happen to have some information.” She had previously called the Barnwell group anonymously and claimed that she was a reporter who wanted to interview Hank. Of course, she was rejected.
However, she had finally managed to find this clue.
It was a batch of goods that the Barnwell group’s vice president, Terry, had imported from overseas. There was no problem with the source of the goods, no problem with the channels, but there was a problem with the goods.
Hank should not know about this matter yet.
Otherwise, he would never have talked about this matter in public. “That batch of goods, Mr. Barnwell didn’t personally manage it, right? So, he probably doesn’t know either. The components have long been out of date, and they are k type that is prohibited from being used by the industry.” “What? Mr. Barnwell, is what she said true?” Mr. Chen was stunned. Not long ago, Cloud Town had issued a ban on it. If Hank knew that there was
something wrong with those goods and still wanted to cooperate with him in such a grand manner, wouldn’t it be clear that he was trying to trick him?
Hank pressed his eyebrows down, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
In front of Mr. Chen and everyone else, he could only clarify immediately, “Of course not. We, the Barnwell group, never do a one-time deal.”
There was still some hesitation in Mr. Chen’s heart when he saw the Barnwell group’s golden signboard. However, he looked at Hank and coughed. “Mr. Barnwell, I’m going to the bathroom.”
This was the most euphemistic rejection. Hank could only watch him leave. The next second, his deep gaze fell on Lyra.
“Miss Jones’ moves are really unexpected.”
“Thank you for your praise, Mr. Barnwell. I don’t have any strong points. I just like to tell the truth and can’t stand others being deceived.” She smiled. She was not arrogant, but he could clearly feel that she was very happy.
She was happy to see Hank’s face darken. In the distance, Nore breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that Hank and Lyra were still talking, he couldn’t help but shake Xu Ya off and walk over quickly. “Lyra, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Let me take you around.” He directly grabbed her wrist.
Lyra hesitated for a moment.
Hank narrowed his eyes.
