Chapter 121


    Chapter 121 She Didn’t Provoke Him


    Hearing Lyra’s name, those richdies were obviously less excited. “Her? MON’s standard is really


    getting worse and worse.” “I heard that she and her ex-husband…”

    “I think I saw Almae just now. Is that Hank also here?” This kind of gossip was the easiest to


    arouse people’s curiosity. When the walk was halfway through, Alma was so anxious that she was


    about to cry in the toilet. “Hank, I’m begging you. Come and pick me up! I feel my stomach hurts.” This


    was not the first time she had talked about her child. On the other side, Hank had just finished the


    meeting and was walking out of thepany. When he heard the voice from his Bluetooth headset, his


    eyebrows furrowed and his cold face sank. “I’ll get the driver to pick you up.” “No, Hank,e here


    personally, okay?” Alma was almost begging him, her voice extremely humble. Halfway through, she


    heard footsteps outside and quickly hung up the phone. The call suddenly ended, and Hank frowned.


    Jasper had already made an appointment with him early in the morning, and he had just driven over.


    Seeing that his expression was not right, he asked casually, “What’s the matter?”


    “Apany me to a ce, Keith. You can get off work first.”


    “Yes, Mr. Barnwell.”


    Then, a super sports car drove out of the Barnwell group’s parking lot. The sound of the engine swept


    across the street. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the show, they saw the photos and names


    on the poster.


    “Lyra is also here?” Jasper felt that things were not so simple. Hank frowned and walked up the stairs.


    “It’s been more than a year. Why can’t she learn the lesson?” Jasper shook his head. If Alma knew how


    to read people’s minds, or how to please Hank, she would have already taken the position of the


    hostess of the Barnwell group. But she still held on to Lyra.


    Jasper followed Hank in. The walk show wasing to an end, and all the designers and models went


    on stage together.


    The audience was full of apuse. MON’s performance was obviously good. “I think the part of the


    bracelet is really good. It’s very new.” “Lyra is indeed talented.” Hank stopped in his tracks. His gaze


    could not help but be attracted by the figure on the stage. She stood in the spotlight with a quiet and


    gentle smile on her face. Her eyes were shining brightly. That was the real Lyra.


    She was so dazzling and proud. Even among those models and actresses, she was not inferior at all.


    Their gazes seemed to meet at that moment.


    The man raised his eyebrows slightly but found that Lyra didn’t seem to notice him at all. She did not


    quickly look away but looked indifferent.


    The fists under his sleeves slowly tightened. He saw someone walk over from the side and go on stage


    to deliver flowers to the designers. The one walking at the front was actually Nore! He took off his


    baseball cap in front of everyone and smiled as he presented a bouquet of flowers. “Lyra,


    congrattions.”


    ra’s hand froze in mid-air and she could not help but reveal a surprised smile. “Why are you here? Why


    didn’t you tell me!” “Sorry, I camete.”


    Lyra did not say anything. She would exin things to Nore, but this asion was not suitable.


    “Thank you, designers and models. Please rest for a while. Our auction will begin immediately! Tonight,


    we will auction the masterpiece of five jewelry designers…”


    As all the designers stepped down, Nore also followed Lyra. Hank stared at the back of the two of


    them, a nameless fire rising in his heart.


    “Hank.”


    “Hank, thank you foring to pick me up.” Hank nced at her and slowly pulled his hand out. “Didn’t


    I tell you don’t go to crowded ces?” As a pregnant woman, she should understand such a basic


    thing. As for Alma, she was too eager to achieve quick sess and gain benefits. She was going to


    use her identity as Mrs. Barnwell to show off everywhere. He had long known about it. It was just that


    he did not stop her. Alma pursed her lips and said delicately, “I’m sorry, Hank. …”


    “Does your stomach hurt? Let’s go now.” Hank turned around and was about to leave. However, how


    could Alma let go of such a good opportunity?


    “Hank, they just said that there is an auction. Let’s stay and watch for a while, okay? Just a while,”


    Alma said with a smile.


    Jasper could feel Hank’s displeasure from the side. However, Alma refused to let Hank go and dragged


    him to the start of the auction. Jasper watched as Hank was pulled to the seat and sat down by her. He


    helplessly held his forehead. Even his friend could tell that Hank did not like her at all. If not for Alma


    being pregnant, perhaps… When this thought came to mind, Jasper immediately coughed. He was like


    those people and became so gossipy.


    The designers also came out from backstage. Lyra was still following Nore. He had been looking for an


    opportunity to exin to Lyra. However, Lyra did not respond. Her attention was on the stage, so Nore


    had to suppress those words. “Why don’t we sit here?” Lyra nodded. As soon as she sat down, she felt


    a sharp gaze. She turned her head and s that Hank was staring at her. She was stunned. Did she


    offend him? Lyra frowned and turned around. Her attitude was still very distant. Hank tapped his knee


    with his finger. That was the action he would often do before he got angry.


    Jasper noticed it, but Alma was full of satisfaction as she thought about how to show off their love and


    let everyone present know that she was the real Mrs. Barnwell. She did not notice the change in Hank’s


    mood at all. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. Next, please take out our first item. It is the


    work of our MONpany’s chief designer, Yun Xi. He did not participate in the big show today, it is a


    pity.” “This is a diamond ne…” “The starting price is three hundred thousand.”


    As soon as the host finished speaking, someone started bidding. Soon, the ne auction was


    sessful. “The next one is the bracelet that Miss Zhang Min just showed us. It perfectly exins our


    theme tonight. It isparable to the eyes of the queen that shine like stars. Although its value is not


    ourpany.” “The starting price is five hundred thousand.” Lyra only reacted at this time. No wonder


    the bracelet looked familiar. It turned out that it was also made by the same person who designed


    King’s Heart. “This is the part you are responsible for, right?” Nore suddenly leaned over and asked,


    Lyra agreed.


    The next second, he immediately raised his card. “Six hundred thousand.”


    “”‘ want to buy it?” Lyra was stunned.


    “Yes, I’ll give it to you.” Nore’s eyes were filled with determination. “I don’t want it,” Lyra rejected


    subconsciously. “Other than money, I don’t know what else youck. Moreover, I don’t seem to have


    anything else.” Nore sighed. Lyra was amused by his deliberate expression. “Your mother will kill you.”


    “Are you not angry?” Before Lyra could answer, a voice came from behind, “Seven hundred thousand.”


    It was Hank!
