Chapter 244


    Reduced to Ashes Before Lyra could say anything, she was once again hooked into Hank’s embrace


    His eyes were cold as he told Alma, “Yes, I said it very clearly” “Then


    “You have challenged my bottom line several times, and my patience has run out You can do whatever


    you want.” Hank said and walked out of the Armstrong family with Lyta


    Alma was abandoned there. If he were any other man, he would have been spurned and scolded long


    ago. But today, the person who made this move was Hank. Even if there were someints in the


    hearts of the people, who dared to say it?


    However, when they saw that Alma was in tears, someone came forward and handed her a tissue “You


    still have to think about the child in your belly. Don’t cry and ruin your health.” Alma was so angry that


    her whole body was trembling. She took a deep breath.


    She had just been spreading rumors about Lyra among the guests. Who would have thought that she


    would be like this?


    “Lyra, you are really amazing. Her phone rang. It was a call from Terry. “Come out. I’m nearby.” “If


    you’re a man,e in and pick me up.” Alma gritted her teeth.


    However, there was no response for a long time.


    “Alma, stop messing around. I can’t have any more conflicts with Hank at this time.” Terry said as he


    watched Hank’s car drive past him.


    Alma was so angry that she threw her phone. She must kill Lyra.


    Half an hourter, in Barnwell family’s vi. Hank carried two bottles of wine and ced them in front of


    Lyra. “Answer my question. If I am satisfied, I will return the Jones family’s old house to you.” His eyes


    were so deep that no one could see through them. “In front of you, do I still have any room for


    negotiation? Mr. Barnwell, you are still as irresponsible as ever. You treated me like that back then, and


    now you treat Alma the same.”


    “Yes, I have never changed.” Hank took out a wine ss, filled it with wine, and ced it in front of


    Lyra. “It’s you who have changed.”


    Where did that gentle Lyra go?


    There seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words, but Lyra did not want to probe further. “Why did I


    be like this?” Lyra asked him with a smile, her eyes overflowing with Tears She had already


    suffered enough humiliation today, and she still had to dig out her heartache to tell him this. Her life


    could no longer be described as a failure. Other than her, she had no other bargaining chips to bargain


    with him. It was just drinking, what was there to be afraid of? What should have happened, and what


    should not have happened, had already happened. The ss reflected Lyra’s bitter smile, coupled with


    that defeated look in her eyes, which made one’s heart ache. “Ask away.” She smiled contemptuously,


    not caring at all. That expression made Hank’s eyes turn cold. “Nore and Jing, who do you choose?”


    This question was a little childish, even ridiculous. “Hank, do you think I still have a choice?” Lyra was


    so angry that sheughed. She picked up the wine ss and drank it all in one gulp. “I can’t answer

    this question.” The wine rushed into her throat, and the hot feeling spread to her stomach. The stinging


    and hot feeling pressed against her nerves. Her fingertips sped her knees, pretending to be calm.


    Hank’s eyes darkened. He raised his wrist and poured another cup of wine, handing it to her. “Nore,


    Jing, and me, who do you choose?” He had no intention of joking, and his eyes stared straight at Lyra.


    It was as if he wanted to see through her soul.


    “Hank, do you really want to y such a boring game?” Lyra was a little annoyed. She didn’t know if it


    were because she drank too fast, but she became excited.


    “Answer me.” Lyra tilted her head and looked at his face close to hers. She suddenly smiled. Her


    slender fingers hooked onto the wine ss as she muttered to herself, “I can’t answer.”


    Another ss of wine was drunk Most of ihe wine bottle was empty Lyra propped up her chin and


    looked at Hank’s expression. Her charming eyes were already a little dazed. She blinked. “You’re still


    not satisfied? Then ask again! “Forget it, you’re drunk.” He just wanted to ask that question. There was


    no point in continuing to ask like this. “That’s enough? Then you…” As she spoke, she felt a sharp pain


    in her stomach. The burning sensation made her speechless Seeing her curled up and squat down,


    Hank frowned. He reached out to help her, but there was no time. l.yra’s legs went soft and she fainted.


    “Lyra!” After the doctor came to see her, he only said that he should not let her drink. “She should have


    taken some antibiotic medicine not long ago. In addition, she is rtively weak. Under the stimtion


    of alcohol, her stomach is damaged. When she wakes up, it is best to go to the hospital for a


    Was the former Lyra really unable toe back? Hank restrained the feelings in his eyes and picked


    Lyra up. Under the moonlight, the corridor was long and quiet. “If this is what you want, I will return it all


    to you. Only the home you want, I can not give it to you.” Even if he wanted to give it to her, she would


    not want it. In the early morning. Lyra woke up and saw the familiar curtain.


    She rubbed her eyes, and thest memory ofst night came into her mind. She drank the wine that


    Hank gave her, and then… Looking around the room, there was no one else but herself. “Sister.” Lyra


    was just about to open her mouth to call Sister Zhang, but her throat hurt like hell.


    She slowly sat up by the bed and coughed a few times. “Miss Jones, you’re awake! How are you


    feeling now?” Sister Zhang came in with breakfast and hurriedly brought her water. Lyra felt a splitting


    headache and waved her hand.

    “Where is Hank?”


    “?ir has gone to thepany.’ Sister Zhang wanted to say something but stopped. Looking at Lyra’s


    slightly pale face, she swallowed back the words she had not said, Lyra still felt very ufortable in


    her stomach. She forced herself to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge and went back to the apartment


    building alone.


    Afterst night, if the matter of her staying in Hank’s vi was found out, she would really have no way


    to defend herself.


    Lyra got out of the car and took a few steps into the alley. She saw the fire in front of her.


    All the neighbors nearby were gathered downstairs. “I wonder if there’s anyone inside?” “I heard that it


    was a gas leak, but it’s fine. Why did it… Lyra walked closer and realized that the floor was the floor


    she lived on! She suddenly remembered that the information that Zongxing had given her was still


    inside. All of a sudden, she rushed inside like a madwoman. “Miss, please calm down. The fire is still


    very big. It’s too dangerous.” The firefighter stopped her. “No, I have to go in!”


    Herst hope was inside, and there were also her father’s relics in the room. “I beg you, let me in.”


    Even if she died, she could not watch those things burn to ashes. But in the end, there was nothing she


    could do.


    When Nore rushed over, he saw her standing there in a daze, with no hope in her eyes.
