    Chapter 257 The Extra Compensation


    Hank’s words stabbed into Lyra’s heart. She felt as if she had been seen through, unable to hide her


    thoughts at all. “Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. You have to consider your own life as well. Jing and the


    other students can only provide you with some suggestions, and I am the one who can satisfy all your


    dreams.” Hank’s words struck straight into Lyra’s heart. “This table of dishes, you can eat as you like. I


    will go out and not disturb you.” He knew that she would be unhappy to see him, so he simply gave up


    the space to give her some privacy. The guard in Lyra’s heart melted with the sound of the door


    closing. “How good it would be if you could have done this two years ago!” Outside the door. Jing


    circled the corridor twice but failed to find Lyra. Instead, he saw Hank standing at the door of the private


    room. “Mr. Barnwell?” Jing subconsciously pushed the door open and entered the private room behind


    him. “Lyra is inside, right?” The wrist wearing the branded watch stopped him at the right time. “There


    is my guest inside. You are not qualified topete with me.” Hank’s position in the business world


    was enough to be on equal footing with Zongxing’s generation. Even Zongxing and the others had to


    worry about Hank’s thoughts and opinions. Jing had just left school not long ago. If they were to


    he insisted on barging in. “You have no right to interfere with her freedom.” “Really? You chased after


    her and used your father’s rtionship with her family to be aggressive. How much respect do you


    have for her? What’s more, do you know that she gave up studying abroad for me?” Hank nced over


    coldly. Jing was stunned on the spot, unable to speak at all. “If there must be someone to help her


    make up for this regret, that person can only be me, understand?”

    He had enough strength to send Lyra to any high school she wanted to go to within a month, not like


    Jing, who had to go through all the so-called processes.


    There was even less of a need for her to be judged. Hank’s way of doing things had always been the


    most direct. He would use all means to achieve his goal.


    Endure? Tolerance?


    These words would never exist in his dictionary. Since he had already made his mind clear, he would


    not give up the opportunity to take care of Lyra to anyone. Moreover, the other party was a fledgling


    who did not know anything. “Also, tell that female ssmate of yours that if she dares to criticize Lyra


    behind her back, she should be ready to be expelled.” Jing’s face darkened, and his heart was filled


    with anger. Hank did not mind at all. He slowly rubbed the buttons on his sleeves. “You clearly heard


    everything outside the bathroom just now, but you did note forward to stop it. Just based on this,


    you are not worthy.” Some choices were destined to end in the beginning. The anger in Jing’s eyes


    slowly dissipated. He opened his mouth and wanted to exin.


    However, Hank only smiled contemptuously and turned to leave.


    Jing stood in ce, hesitating and struggling for a long time. In the end, he did not have the courage to


    push open the door.


    He had indeed heard the unpleasant words that Han Jia had said, but he did not stop her. He took into


    ount his friendship with his friends and chose to let Lyra face those criticisms alone. Now that he


    was exposed in front of Hank, he felt ashamed. Just based on this point, he could notpare to


    Hank’s courage. At this time, Lyra was sitting in the private room, looking at the table full of delicious


    food. Her mind was filled with the words that Hank had said. “Send me to study abroad?”


    “Ha…”


    She was not moved, only helpless.


    After drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, Lyra got up and walked out. Theughtering from the


    private room made her feel as if she had been through a lifetime. In the past, she could also have such


    a bright and beautiful social circle.


    But now, she could no longer go back. No matter how much he made up for it, she no longer felt


    touched and longed for it.


    Lyra lowered her eyes and sent a message to Jing. She said that she would leave first and walked out


    of the restaurant. In the distance, the lights of the ck car were on. Lyra knew that he was waiting for


    her. She clenched her fists and walked over. The snow in the sky fell on her shoulder. “Go.” Hank, who


    was sitting in the back seat, ordered the driver when he heard the sound of the door closing. “Are you


    so sure that I will leave? What if I don’te out?” Lyra stared at him with a frown. This feeling of


    having everything calcted by him made her very disgusted. “I understand you,” Hank said, opening


    his thin lips. It was these four words that pierced through Lyra’sst line of defense. Her eyes suddenly


    turned red. She turned her head and looked out the window. There were too many questions stuck in


    her throat. Did he know her? In this world, the person who was the least qualified to say these words


    was him, Hank!


    However, Lyra endured it in the end.


    She tried her best not to make any sobbing sounds. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears in the


    corners of her eyes and bit her lips.


    The car stopped steadily in the Jones family’s yard. Rae stood at the door with her coat in her arms.


    When she saw Lyra get off the car, she greeted her. Hank’s driver also came down and handed over


    the food that had already been packed. Lyra frowned and did not say anything. He had really


    calcted everything!


    Behind the car window, the pair of deep eyes watched her back as she stepped up the stairs and


    entered the door without looking back. Then, the lights in the Jones family’s living room went out and


    the lights on the second floor lit up. “Let’s go.” His voice sounded a little tired.


    “Mr. Barnwell, should we send you directly to the airport?” the driver asked. He needed to rush to the


    ne in the early morning. If not for this, he would not have been in a hurry to say those words. The


    man closed his eyes and let out an indifferent snort. There had never been anything that would shake


    his state of mind and make him act


    so irrationally. However, after he had done everything one by one, the woman did not appreciate it.


    The elegant and stubborn face circled in his mind. He pressed his finger against the space between his


    eyebrows and sighed deeply.


    Lyra originally did not have much expectation for this prosecution. Especially when she knew that all of


    this was in Hank’s n, she felt that she was being used by him as a chess piece, and her heart


    became even more unhappy. However, Lawyer Liu was very efficient. In addition, the Barnwell group


    had more or less received Hank’s hints. Thus, the matter went exceptionally smoothly. “ording to


    the contract, the Barnwell group will fulfill its duty and pay you one-third of the penalty fee. This money


    will be transferred to the Jones Group’s ount within a week.”


    “The Jones Group’s ount?” Lyra was stunned for two seconds. She didn’t know that there was such


    an ount. Lawyer Liu was also stunned. He pointed to thest two pages of the contract. “It is written


    on this supplementary treaty.”


    Lyra took the contract and flipped to the back.


    She did not remember there was such a contract! But looking at it, it was clear that she had signed it


    and the date… “Hank, you big liar.”


    This contract was given to her by Keith at that time. He said that it was her personal contract with


    Hank. At that time, she was angry and had signed it without even looking at it. How could she know


    that there was another world! “As early as that time, he has nned to return the Jones Group to me.”
