Chapter 122


    Chapter 122 Not Worth the Price


    “750,000!” Nore gritted his teeth. “Forget it,” Lyra sighed helplessly. She had never wanted it, and from


    the looks of it, Hank had deliberately raised the price. Even if the bracelet was created by a famous


    designer, it was not worth this price. On the other side, Alma, who was beside Hank, had already


    started to get excited. Hank, on the other hand, had a cold expression on his face. His eyes were as


    deep as the sea, making it impossible to see his emotions. Lyra only nced at him before shifting her


    gaze away. “One million,” Hank said, holding the auction card. “One million? It seems that Mr. Barnwell


    is determined to win! Are other buyers interested in this bracelet?” As the host spoke, he smiled and


    looked in the direction of Nore and Lyra.


    Nore still wanted to call out a price but was stopped by Lyra. “There’s no need.” She felt that it was


    really pointless. In this life, she had seen enough of those people throwing away their money for the


    sake of face. She did not want to be the kind of person who would sink into the whinipuol of greed.


    Moreover,pared to Hank’s financial resources, Nore would definitely lose. “Lyra, I’m sorry.” Nore


    said again. Lyra smiled. Her smile was unprecedentedly rxed and bright. It was only at this moment


    that she realized that what she wanted was not to return to the circle of rich and famous people, but to


    prove herself. She did not have the Jones family as her trump card. She could also win.

    As for Hank, Lyra did not care. When the host personally handed the bracelet to Hank, Lyra and Nore


    had left. Someone began to whisper, “Hank still chose Alma.” “Lyra is really stupid. No matter how


    strong Lubi family is, he can’tpare to Hank.” “Although the wedding was notpleted, it is a fact


    that Alma is pregnant. Sooner orter, she will enter Barnwell family’s door.” Hearing these words, the


    smile on Alma’s face became deeper and deeper, “Hank, thank you.” Unexpectedly, the man just got


    up and walked out.


    The bracelet did not enter Alma’s hand at all. She was a little disappointed, but what she wanted had


    been obtained. She pursed her lips and quickly followed.


    Jasper clicked his tongue. He knew Hank too well. This matter was not over. Lyra went to the office


    backstage to get her things. When she came out, Nore stood by the street and waited for her.


    She hesitated for a few seconds and walked over.


    “Don’t apologize to me. I am not qualified to ept your apology. How you and Xu Ya develop is your


    business.” Lyra had no emotions, and she was not questioning Nore about anything. They were not


    boyfriend and girlfriend. “You…” Nore’s throat froze. The words he had prepared for a few days were all


    stuck in his throat.


    He clearly understood the calmness in Lyra’s eyes. The night wind blew the hair in her ears. She


    smiled easily and instantly broke Nore’s heart.


    “You are right. It’s all none of your business.” Nore forced a smile and told himself that


    vould deal with all the messy rtionships and not let Lyra be criticized. In the distance, Lyra saw Hank


    and othersing out. She felt unlucky. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.” She patted the bag in her


    hand. “I got paid today.” Nore’nodded. At the very least, they could still get along as friends. For him,


    this was already a very happy thing. If Lyra pushed him away or never saw him, he could not imagine


    what would happen to him at that time. The two of them walked forward side by side. Hank’s driver also


    drove over and took him and Alma away.


    The night was cold. When Jasper was about to drive away, he happened to meet with Lyra and the


    others.


    “Miss Jones, how have you been?”


    “Young Master Jasper.” Lyra nodded as a greeting.


    Jasper’s gaze fell on Nore and he smiled faintly. “Mr. Lubi is young and impetuous, but it’s best not to


    provoke people who should not be provoked, lest it affects the family business.”


    The Barnwell group had cooperations with the Lubi Group. Nore was very clear about this.


    He frowned and was about to retort when he was stopped by Lyra.


    “Young Master Jasper, we still have something to do. We’ll be leaving first.”


    Nore was forcefully pulled away by Lyra. There was a fire in his heart, but he would not do something


    that Lyra did not like.


    Jasper watched them leave and narrowed his eyes. “Interesting.”


    Halfway through the meal with Nore, Lubi family called to ask Nore to go back. “Young Master,


    Madam’s heart is not feeling well. She has been calling your name. If you don’t have any important


    dates, you shoulde back to apany Madam.” Sean said. They had already yed this trick


    once. “I still have something to do…” Nore said and was about to hang up. “If Nore has something to


    do, just let him do it. I’m fine,” Lucy said.


    She sounded really weak. Nore frowned and said, “Okay,” before pressing the call button. “Let’s go


    home,” Lyra said as she walked out of the restaurant.


    She smiled and did not look unhappy at all.


    worry, I was going to celebrate with you today.”


    “Did you count how many times you apologized to me today?” Lyra asked with a smile. There was no


    need for that between them.


    At her most difficult time, Nore was really a ray of light that shone into her life. But no one would want


    to embrace the sun in their arms. Because it was too hot, neither of them would be happy.


    Stopping damage in time was the most important thing that Lyra learned after starting again. “I used my


    phone to get a cab just now.” Lyra looked at a ck car by the roadside in the distance “It should be


    here. I will go over first.” She did not want to be a conflict between Nore and his family anymore.


    She smiled and waved her hand, walking quickly to the opposite side of the road. But halfway through,


    Lyra realized that something was wrong. The te was not right.


    Lyra turned around and saw that Nore had just gotten into the car and had yet to


    leave.


    She slowed down and thought to wait for Nore to drive before stopping. However, the window was


    rolled down, and it turned out to be Hank. Lyra stopped in her tracks, turned around, and was about to


    walk back. But halfway through, her phone rang. “Get in the car and 10,000 yuan.” Lyra was so angry


    that she gritted her teeth. Did he think that she wouldpromise for 10,000?


    Lyra frowned fiercely. She opened the car door and got in. She was not that kind of person in the past,


    but now, she had to lower her head. The car drove forward, and Lyra turned to stare at the man’s side


    profile. “Mr. Barnwell is really getting freer and freer. He is still hanging out on the streets at this time.”


    Didn’t he send Alma away just now?


    They should be at home kissing. Or perhaps they had done it already. The more Lyra thought about it,


    the more disgusted she felt. “I was just passing by to remind you. Don’t be stupid enough to think that


    Lubi family will let you in. It won’t do you any good.” Hank’s voice was calm and his eyes darkened.
