    “Director Jones, please think about it quickly. We still have to continue the process.” The staff member


    kindly reminded her that she could not make so many people wait here.


    Opposite Lyra, Hank’s face was very serious.


    “If you are afraid, go out. From now on, there will be no ce for the Jones family.” Every word he said


    pierced into Lyra’s heart like a knife. She kept saying that she wanted to revive the Jones family, but did


    she really have the ability? Even if Hank gave her a chance, she seemed to be unable to grasp it.


    Lyra’s hand that held the pen trembled slightly.


    “Lyra…” Nore wanted to rush up, but he was stopped. “Mr. Lubi, there are some things that you can’t


    help with.” There were more and more chaotic discussions below the stage. Lyra clutched the pen and


    heard another sentence, “It was you who didn’t want this opportunity. In the future, don’t kneel down


    and beg me.” “I’ll sign!” Lyra gritted her teeth and signed her name as fast as she could. Hank raised


    his eyebrows and chuckled. “You can’t go back on your word if you sign it.”


    He once again took the initiative in this revenge game. However, Lyra only panicked for a few seconds


    before she regained her senses. She handed the signed contract to the man and said, “I never regret


    what I do, unlike some people who would even treat marriage as a child’s y and turn it into a


    bargaining chip for revenge.”


    The light in Hank’s eyes suddenly became sharp. “This time, I hope that Mr. Barnwell will not regret it.”


    After signing the contract, Lyra got up and left the stage, leaving everyone with a determined back.


    Only when she entered the bathroom and closed the door did she slowly sigh. Her palms were already


    sweaty. Hank’s move made her unable to understand his intentions. Why did he give the Jones family a


    chance to make aeback? In order to destroy her life again, or to make the Jones family a thorn in


    the eyes of otherpanies, so that he could make the Jones family disappear again without


    any effort? Either way, it did not seem to have any benefits for Lyra. However, if she did not ept it, it


    was equivalent to giving up on the opportunity for nothing. It would also make everyoneugh at her for


    being a coward. It turned out that a single decision from that man could force her into a dilemma. Lyra


    turned on the tap and used ice water to ssh her face. “There’s nothing to be afraid of.” “As long as


    you persevere,” she bit her lips.


    Sooner orter, the situation would be overturned.


    She returned to the venue once again. There was a temporary break. Everyone sat in their seats.


    When they saw Lyra walk in, they discussed animatedly. “How dare she sign it? Does the Jones family


    have the ability to take over the project? I heard that she is the only one in thatpany.” “Free pie for


    her. I don’t know what kind of luck she got!” “She thought about it for so long on the stage just now.


    Was she scared silly?” “Maybe she was thinking of how to use this opportunity to get close to Hank so


    that she can rekindle their rtionship…” In their eyes, since Lyra got help from the Barnwell group,


    she could revive thepany easily. Lyra just listened, and there was no hesitation on her fair and


    beautiful face. “Are you okay?” Nore immediately found Lyra, and his face was full of worry. “You don’t


    have to worry about me.” Lyra shook her head and smiled. “You should worry about yourself now. Lubi


    Enterprises didn’t get this cooperation case. Is it okay?”


    “My dad didn’t expect the Barnwell group to suddenly change the rules,” Nore said with a frown.


    Everyone present should have felt that Hank seemed to be doing this intentionally.


    He wanted the Jones family to be chosen. Even if the crowd had someints in their hearts, they


    wouldn’t dare to rush at Hank. That would undoubtedly be courting death.


    Therefore, everyone would shift their jealousy and dissatisfaction to Lyra. For a long time in the future,


    her days would not be easy. Moreover, if there were any problems in the project, Lyra would be the


    scapegoat. If she was not careful, she would lose everything.


    “He did it on purpose.” “He just wants to see me lower my head and beg him for mercy,” Lyra said


    lightly.


    Nore’s heart froze, and he was even more worried about her.


    “Don’t worry. Since I dared to sign, I have already thought of how to fight back.” “You…” Nore wanted to


    ask again.


    “Director Jones, Mr. Barnwell is waiting for you in the conference room upstairs. There are some


    specific details of the cooperation that you need to talk to him face to face,” said Keith “Okay,” said


    Lyra, who was already mentally prepared. She got up and followed Keith. When she opened the door,


    she saw that Hank was alone in the conference room. The smile in her eyes grew wider and wider. “Mr.


    Barnwell has gone through so much trouble. Don’t you feel tired?” “The game is just about to be fun,


    how can I be tired?” Hank turned around, the coldness in his eyes stronger than the wind outside the


    window, “The Jones family is just an empty shell now, you can’t take this project.” He said


    condescendingly, waiting for her to kneel and beg for mercy. Although Lyra’s reaction just now was


    pretty strong, it could not change the fact that she didn’t have the real strength. As long as the Barnwell


    group made aint, she could be sent to court. Lyra looked up at him and slowly moved the


    corners of her lips. Mr. Barnwell’s words were too absolute. How do you know that the Jones family


    have no ability to take this project? What’s more, the election rules this time were proposed by the


    Barnwell group. If I guessed correctly, all the cards in the box should be the Jones Group. Lyra said


    with certainty, her eyes staring straight at the man. She reminded herself several times in her heart not


    to rush, to think clearly, there must be a loophole to exploit! Hank was also a human, he was not a god,


    even if his power was monstrous, there would always be something he was careless about. With this,


    Lyra straightened her back even more. As long as she didn’t give up, she wouldn’t lose. After a long


    time of confrontation, the two of them didn’t speak again. A fierce look shed through the man’s eyes.


    He had to admit that Lyra was more courageous than most people he had seen. He suddenly had the


    interest to continue the conversation.


    It was not to torture her but to listen to her response. The door of the conference room was closed.


    Keith stood guard outside the door. Not long after, someone rushed over.


    “Where is Hank?” Alma frowned and was about to rush in.


    “Miss Kensley, Mr. Barnwell is talking business right now. Please wait outside.” Keith said dutifully


    “You want me to wait? Get out of the way!”


    “Hank,e out. I know you are inside. I also know that Lyra is inside. Why did you close the door?


    What are you doing?” Alma asked anxiously.


    In the conference room, Lyra smiled gently.


    She was the one who revealed the news to Alma.


    Although it was an anonymous method, she did not expect her toe so quickly.


    “Is this what you called ability?”


    Hank said coldly, anger spreading in his eyes.
