Chapter 189


    Chapter 189 He Did Not Have That Power


    No matter how he lost his temper, Lyra’s expression remained indifferent. “Mr. Barnwell, you chose the


    Jones family as your partner. Indeed, you can take up my work time, but you have no right to ask about


    my personal life.” Hank stared at her confident and determined face and clenched his fists. “…” Before


    he could finish his words, Lyra had already walked out of the elevator and headed straight for the


    conference room. Keith stood at the door with a stack of materials in his arms. When he saw the cold


    faces of the two of them, he did not dare to make a sound. “Give her all the materials., If she doesn’t


    finish memorizing them, she is not allowed to leave this conference room.” Hank ordered fiercely and


    then turned to leave. When he saw that Lyra was going against him, he could not suppress the anger in


    his heart. Especially when he saw herpletely different attitude towards him and Lubi family… Hank


    pressed the space between his eyebrows and felt that he was really crazy. “You gave such a big piece


    of meat pie to Jones Group. Those old men in the Barnwell group will definitely not be able to sit still.”


    Hank coldly raised his eyes. He naturally knew that the Barnwell group had several internal conflicts.


    Some of them had received benefits from the Lubi n and some of them were close to Williams


    Group. He could not let them have their wish. “Handing it to the Jones Group will allow me to have full


    control of the project. This project will determine the Barnwell group’s position in the next three years.


    There can not be any mistakes.” He was determined to get what he wanted. He would not allow


    anyone to interfere with the results he wanted.


    Jasper nodded, but he could not help but say, “I am afraid that you will be soft-hearted when you see


    Lyra. After the project ispleted, the Jones will get a lot of benefits.” Perhaps, Lyra would seize the


    opportunity to revive the Jones Group. Then, wouldn’t Hank’s revenge n a year ago be dered a


    failure? “Then consider it as mepensating her,” Hank said slowly in a deep voice. Outside the door,


    Lyra, who hade over with materials to finalize the details, clearly heard these words.

    The joints on her fingers were white, and her fingertips almost pierced the paper.


    Compensation?


    What kind ofpensation could make up for the damage she had once suffered!


    “Director Jones?” Keith came over with a cup of coffee. When he saw Lyra standing at the door, his


    expression was unclear.


    “Tell Hank that there are too many materials. I definitely won’t be able to finish them today. Moreover,


    he has no right to control my personal freedom. If he breaks the contract unterally, I will definitely sue


    him until he goes bankrupt.” Lyra hid the emotions in her eyes.


    Lyra said this and stepped out of the venue. He didn’t want her to be on good terms with Lubi family


    and couldn’t bear to see her with Nore, right?


    Lyra took out her phone and was about to dial Nore’s number. However, she hesitated. She did not


    want to use Nore.


    If she did that, what was the difference between her and the unscrupulous Hank?


    “Lyra.”


    Nore had been waiting for her outside for a long time. Seeing her figure from afar, he quickly walked


    over. He was afraid that Hank would bully her, so he looked at her carefully. “Yes, we’re done.” Lyra


    wanted to say something but stopped. “What did he do to you? I’ll go and find him!” Nore frowned.


    Although his status and influence in the business world were far less than that of Hank, he would not


    cower and must fight for Lyra. “Nore, ignore him. I’m hungry.” Lyra tugged at him, a hint of exhaustion


    in her eyes. “Alright, let’s go eat.” Nore frowned. The two of them got into the car and left side by side.


    From the window upstairs, a pair of cold and dark eyes were staring at them. “You have already


    destroyed the Jones family. Why do you need to control Lyra’s every move? Even if she says she


    wants to take revenge on you, with her current strength, it is as difficult as moving a mountain.” It was


    not that Jasper looked down on Lyra, but reality was cruel. It was already good enough that she could


    repay the debt she owed in this life.


    In Jasper’s view, Hank did not need to target Lyra. Lyra was not a threat to him.

    …-..


    .-.


    Hank stood by the window with his hands folded, his eyes filled with a cold chill. After a long time, he


    said, “But I can’t think of another way.” “What?” Jasper did not understand.


    He could clearly feel that Hank was giving off a very sad and regretful feeling.


    0)


    This was something that he had never seen before. “Forget it, let’s go.” Hank rubbed his eyebrows.


    Tonight was the birthday banquet of the olddy of the Armstrong family. He was going to attend it with


    Jasper. But halfway, he suddenly thought of something. “Did you invite Lubi family tonight?” “Probably.


    What’s wrong?” Jasper asked as he took out his phone. “Just asking.” Hank stepped on the gas pedal


    and said coldly. “You don’t have to drive so fast!” Jasper clutched his seatbelt and gulped. If he had


    known earlier, he wouldn’t have said anything. If this guy went crazy, who could stop him? Lyra also


    walked halfway before she realized that she was going to celebrate the birthday of the Armstrong


    family’s olddy. She thought about it and said, “If your family goes to celebrate her birthday, it would


    be inappropriate for me to go with you. I’d better leave.” However, Nore did not respond to her words.


    “We’re almost there.” “Nore, …” Lyra frowned.


    “I’ve already told my mom. If you don’t go, she’ll ask all sorts of questions. It’s just a meal anyway.


    You’ve participated in this kind of dinner before,” Nore said as he held the steering wheel. Although he


    said that, Lyra’s eyelids twitched a few times, and she had a bad feeling. She suddenly realized when


    she opened the car door. Tonight, Hank should being too! Lyra wanted to retreat, but Nore saw


    through her thoughts first. “You need to start a new life. Do you have to avoid him wherever you go?”


    “You’re right,” Lyra said with a slight sigh. A look of joy appeared on Nore’s face, and he even took the


    initiative to offer his arm. Lyra thought for a moment, then reached out to hold it.


    This was just a normal form of social etiquette.


    The two of them walked in side by side, still attracting the attention of many people.


    Lucy was sitting among a group of nobledies, waving at them from afar. “Mom, we arete. There is


    a bit of traffic on the road.” Nore immediately held Lyra’s hand and walked over. All of a sudden, the


    wide and wondered about the rtionship between Lyra and Lubi family. They also heard some


    rumors. Lubi family seemed to have epted Lyra and given up on the marriage with the Williams


    family. Lucy knew what these people were thinking. She smiled and held Lyra’s hand. She kindly


    introduced Lyra to the people around, “This is Mrs. Li, this is Lyra, my son’s…” Lyra’s eyebrows jumped


    and she quickly pulled back her hand. “Auntie, I’m going to the bathroom.’ After she finished speaking,


    she turned around and left.


    Lucy only thought that she was concerned about Lubi family’s face and gave Nore a look.


    Just as Nore was about to chase after her, someone called out to him.
