    Chapter 253 Weighing the Pros and Cons


    He still had a trump card in his hand!


    A trump card that Hank could not escape from. Director Qin and Director Bai immediately wanted to


    escape, but before they could do so, Hank chuckled and turned his head to look at Terry. “What you


    want to say is about the Jones Group, right?” Apart from this, he had no other concerns. Terry was


    slightly stunned. Then, Hank stood up and walked towards him step by step. “Terry, you were once my


    most trusted partner. You have contributed greatly to the Barnwell group’s achievements today, so I can


    tolerate you more than ordinary people.”


    “But bad things cannot be repeated again and again. About the day of the project examination, all the


    evidence points to you. I can’t forgive you easily.” Terry trembled all over. Even he could not resist the


    extremely deep eyes of Hank. “Before the matter is clear, you’d better stay at home and wait for the


    a few words. Director Qin and Director Bai were next to him and broke out in cold sweat. They were


    really blind to have believed Terry’s deceptive words. It turned out that Hank had already grasped


    everything. He yed with Terry as easily as a cat catching a mouse. Moreover, in the board of


    directors, other than the two of them, everyone else was very supportive of Hank. Now that Terry was


    suspended, Director Qin and Director Bai were worried. “Mr. Barnwell, we…” As soon as they saw


    Hank go out, they immediately chased after


    him.


    “Stop!”


    “You think I’m finished, and you are going to curry favor with Hank? You didn’t act like


    “This… Vice President Xiao, no, Terry, you gave me some things before, but that was based on the


    favor between us. Now that you are suspended, of course, I have to show Mr. Barnwell that I am not


    the same as you.” “That’s right, Old Qin. Let’s go. If we arete, we won’t be able to catch up.”


    Bang.


    The door closed again. Terry punched the table of the conference room. “Hank, you yed me!” If not


    for the fact that he had already taken control of the overall situation beforehand, Hank would not have


    moved so quickly. Immediately after, the people from the Ministry of Justice rushed over and they also


    applied to the bank to investigate Terry’s personal funds. “Vice President Xiao, what should we do?”


    His assistant was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. “Mr. Barnwell was serious this time. Why


    don’t you go and beg Vice President Barnwell?” Terry’s smile became even colder. “Why am I begging


    that old man? In fact, his ambition is even greater than mine.” “Then are we just going to sit here and


    wait for our doom?” Everyone knew how ruthless Hank was. If they did not think of a way as soon as


    possible, Terry wouldpletely disappear from this circle. At that time, wanting to make aeback


    was no different from a fool’s dream. “Shut up.” Terry mmed the table. “Of course I won’t let this go


    so easily.” ‘Hank, aren’t you afraid that the things you did to the Jones family in the past will be


    exposed?’


    Lyra was just about to leave the Barnwell group Building when she was stopped by the security guard.


    “What are you doing? Did Hank go back on his word?” “No, Ms. Jones. Mr. Barnwell asked you to wait


    here for a while. He wille down soon,” The security guard said. Lyra frowned. Before she could


    react, Lawyer Liu said, “Ms. Jones, since the matter is almost done, I will go first.” “Alright. If anything


    happens in the future, I’ll contact you again.” Lyra nodded. Lawyer Liu was stunned at first, then


    nodded. “Thank you, Ms. Jones,” he said.


    Lyra waited for a long time on the first floor of the Barnwell group before she saw Hank walk out of the


    lift. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes. “What is it?”


    She had just received a call from Uncle Priestley and wanted to go over.


    Uncle Priestley said that he had found a part of the burned information and could give it to Lyra first.


    “Do you have an appointment tonight?”


    “Yes,” Lyra replied naturally. Even if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be like a fool and wait for him here all the


    time. She did not need more gossip. Her desire to clear the rtionship was written all over her face.


    “Who are you meeting?” the man asked, frowning. “It has nothing to do with you. I’ll be leaving first. If


    you have anything to do, just look for mywyer.” Lyra was a little annoyed. “No.” Hank took a step


    forward and stared at her face. His voice was extremely maic. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to


    thoroughly investigate this matter? Before that, you had better stay with me.” What kind of facy was


    this? “You can just send someone to investigate. Is it necessary that you stay with me? Don’t let me


    remind you again that you already have a family.” She said this without thinking.


    She didn’t pay attention for a moment and her voice was a little louder, attracting the attention of many


    employees. She thought he would quarrel with her, but she didn’t expect that the man actually took the


    opportunity to smile. “Thank you for reminding me, but both you and I are people who can distinguish


    between public and private, right?”


    Lyra was stunned for two seconds.


    “Let’s go. For the next 24 hours, you have to be responsible for my personal safety.”


    What?


    “Mr. Barnwell just suspended Vice President Xiao from his position and started an investigation in the


    entirepany. It will definitely affect the interests of some people. There is indeed a hidden danger in


    your and Mr. Barnwell’s personal safety.” “Hank, you used me!” Lyra bit the corner of her lips. The man

    walked in front with a faint smile on his face. However, when Lyra caught up with him, he instantly


    suppressed his smile and pretended to be puzzled. “I just followed your words, and did I do something


    wrong again?”


    Lyra was angry and could not speak. But she had clearly been tricked by him. “You suspected Terry a


    long time ago, but youcked a reason. And then you took advantage of the situation when I delivered


    myself to you!” Lyra sat in the car angrily.


    No matter how she thought about it, she was very angry. Hank raised his hand and pressed between


    his eyebrows. She was really getting smarter and smarter.


    He adjusted the buttons of his suit slightly and ordered the driver, “Let’s go.” Lyra turned her head


    away, not wanting to look at him. However, as the scenery outside the window became more and more


    familiar, her heart skipped a beat. “Where are you taking me?” “The Jones family. For the sake of your


    personal safety with me, staying together is the best choice for us. If you don’t want to go back to the


    Jones family, what about going to my ce?” he asked seriously. His seriousness made her even


    angrier. “Of course, I won’t go to your house.” His deep eyes reflected her pretty face. He stared at her


    and suddenly smiled. It made Lyra’s heart shiver. He suddenly approached her and asked in a hoarse


    voice, “Who did you make an appointment with tonight?”
