Chapter 242
Chapter 242 As He Wished
As soon as they entered the main hall of the Armstrong Family, the man who got out of the ck car
had a cold expression on his face. His eyes were fixed on Lyra’s back, and his cold eyes were mixed
with anger.
“Hank is here.” Alma saw Hank from afar, and her eyes turned as she thought of something.
Hank walked into the Armstrong Family step by step. When Jasper received the news, he immediately
rushed out. “Hank, tonight is a wee dinner for my uncle and his family. Even if you are unhappy,
you must give me face.” Jasper made a gesture of pleading with his hands. He understood Hank’s
character too well.
In addition, he had just heard some gossip, and he was afraid that tonight would not be peaceful. “Don’t
worry, I will naturally give you face.” Hank turned around and looked at him. He actually smiled for the
first time.
When he smiled like this, Jasper became even more panicked.
“No, Hank, are you going to do something today? When I see you like this, I always feel that…” Before
Jasper could finish speaking, Hank had already strode inside. His goal was also very clear, which was
the woman standing between Jing and Nore at this moment. Hank, who had always been admired by
the daughters of wealthy families, waspletely ignored at this time.
“Lyra, do you want to eat fruit?”
“Lyra, have some coffee.”
Both of Lyra’s hands were stuffed full.
She had only been in here for less than ten minutes, and she felt that she was almost full.
“I’ll take a break.” Just as she was about to put down the thing in her hand, she felt a chill run down her
spine. She looked over and saw that it was indeed Hank.
Lyra frowned and wanted to dodge.
Jing blocked her first, and Nore also pulled her.
“There’s no need to hide from him,” the two of them said in unison.
Then, the two of them looked at each other. Although they were both unhappy, they still firmly stood by
Lyra’s side.
Old Lady Annstrong was helped to walk over. Zongxing and Hanging Armstrong each took one side,
and behind them were the younger generation of the Armstrong family Old Lady Armstrong had a smile
on her face, looked around the field, and actually took the initiative to reach out “Barnwell boy,e
here and talk.” Among the crowd, the only person who was qualified to stand beside Zongxing and the
others was Hank.
He was clearly two generations younger, but he had the ability to rival them. Hank was never polite or
had stage fright. His indifferent and disdainful eyes were powerful. He walked over step by step and
passed by Lyra. Lyra subconsciously looked away, not wanting to have any entanglement with him.
Who would have thought that Hank would suddenly stop by her side, “Come with me.”
There was ack of order in his tone, and there was a bit of gentleness in it. Lyra frowned. Wasn’t he
trying to harm her? He insisted that she take the crime of having seduced him! But she did not want to
go. At thest banquet of the Armstrong family… For a moment, Lyra hesitated. However, Hank was
exceptionally patient. He did not rush her. He just stood there and looked at her with a deep gaze. No
matter how deep his gaze was hidden, Jing and Nore, who were both men, could see it clearly It was a
kind of possessiveness born from the bottom of his heart. He did not want to give up on Lyra. The three
men did not speak on the surface, but they were hostile to one another. At this moment, a dignified
voice sounded, “Jing’er, bring Lyra over to greet us.” Zongxing shouted, and Jing immediately dragged
Lyra over. “Grandma, this is Lyra.” The guests were all dumbfounded. Didn’t they say that Nore was
pursuing Lyra and that the Lubi family wanted to marry her as their daughter-inw? Why did it seem
that she was going to be the Armstrong family’s daughter-inw now? With the strength of the
Armstrong family and Zongxing, they were on a higher level than the Lubi family. Moreover, she
seemed to have ignored Hank! At this time, no one dared to look at Hank’s cold face. Even Jasper
could only frown
and sigh. He knew that his uncle was not easy to deal with! Zongxing was famous for his stubbom
temper. He had neveriled in the project he had taken a fancy 10. Now he encouraged his son to
pursue Lyro as his wife Naturally, he would not give up until he achieved his goal. He didn’t care about
how the outside world talked about Lyra. He believed that Drake’s daughter wouldn’t be the kind of
child who had no upbringing. “Good. She looks beautiful and has a generous demeanor. I have seen
her before.” Old Lady Armstrong smiled and nodded.
Lyra lowered her eyes and smiled. For some reason, she felt that when Old Lady Armstrong looked at
her, she also looked at Hank behind her. “She’s just a little older than Jing’er. I think she’s very suitable
to be my daughter-inw!” Zongxingughed loudly. Lyra’s heart skipped a beat. Why didn’t she know
that Uncle Priestley had this n? She immediately looked at Jing, but she didn’t expect that Jing was
only smiling. “Mr. Priestley, it’s not appropriate, right?” Hank suddenly stepped forward. He reached out
and pulled Lyra back half a step. His eyes contained a cold smile. “Actually, Lyra has already nned
to remarry me.”
What?
The entire hall was shocked. Lyra struggled a few times but was unable to break free from his grasp.
“When did I…”
“If you want the Jones family’s old house to be turned to ashes, you can refute my words.” Hank
suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered something that sounded like a bell from hell.
“Lyra, is what he said true?” Nore was the first to ask.
He understood how much Lyra hated Hank. She could not jump into that pit of fire again. Moreover,
Hank already had Alma.
Lyra was so proud, and how could she endure the taste of betrayal and be with her father’s enemy!
“Lyra, is he threatening you?” Nore couldn’t help but wave his fist at Hank. Just as he was about to
raise his hand, Lyra frowned. “No, no.” The tip of her finger was tightly sped in her palm. Was this
what Hank wanted? He wanted people to see how shameless she was to beg for mercy in front of
everyone and shamelessly stick to him? 1
Then why not fulfill his wish?
Let’s see who couldn’t help it hot
“He didn’t threaten me, I did it voluntarily, I might, I might otill love him. yra naised her head, but her
smile did not reach her eyes,
Althat moment, Nore’s heart was stabbed painfully,
He clearly knew that it was not her true heart, but when he heard it with his own ears, he could no
longer hold it in

“Good,” He only said this one word before he gave Lyra a deep look and turned to leave
Lyra also felt pain in her heart She didn’t want to use this method to make things clear to Nore, and she
didn’t want to lose this friend of hers. But now, there was no room for redemption,
She frowned and stared at Hank “Are you satisfied?” Hank suddenly chuckled. He reached out and
hooked his orm around her shoulder The distance between the two of them suddenly shortened. Even
in front of so many elders, he didn’t care at all and acted intimately with her “Not enough.” As he spoke,
he actually nted a kiss on her face
