    Chapter 318 Nothing to Say


    Lyra opened the car door and sat inside. “I’ve been busy all day and haven’t had time to eat yet. Why


    don’t you apany me for a midnight snack?” Lyra was about to refuse.


    “After that, I will tell you whatever you want to know,” he said.


    Lyra sped her palms with her fingertips and swallowed the words she was about to


    say. Half an hourter, the two of them sat in a restaurant. When Lyra saw him order a table of dishes,


    she could not help but frown. It was just a midnight snack. He chose such a high-end western


    restaurant and ordered so many dishes. It was really too wasteful.


    Hank rolled up his sleeves and slowly cut the steak. His appearance was elegant and handsome, even


    more charming than the gentleman in the oil painting. It was at that moment that Lyra suddenly realized


    something. “Terry went to your house.” “Yes.” He looked at the knife and fork in his hand and


    responded lightly. “L and Alma have been taken away for investigation. If Terry gets away, this


    matter will be left unsettled!”


    “Yes.”


    As Hank moved his lips, he put the cut steak in front of Lyra.


    “I’m not hungry.” She also couldn’t eat now.


    Only then did Hank put down his knife and fork. He raised his eyes, which were cold, mixed with


    The atmosphere between the two was particrly heavy.


    “This matter involves many people. It is not as simple as you think.” Hank could only say this much.


    After all, Lyra was not the Barnwell group’s person.


    It would take time for her to understand the entanglement.


    “What about Alma and L?” Lyra clenched her fingers and asked after a long while.


    “I’m not sure.” “I need to wait for the board meeting to finish, then decide,” Hank said with a frown.


    “Didn’t you say that you’re already married to Alma and that you need to protect her? You…” The more


    agitated she was, the calmer Hank became. After a long time, he said coldly, “Unless you tell me the


    reason why you protected Alma.” He brought up the past again, his cold eyes stubbornly suffused with


    coldness. He knew very well what kind of person Lyra was, and it was precisely because of this that he


    was puzzled.


    What exactly was the reason for her to be so biased towards Alma in a few days?


    Lyra turned her head away, not saying a word.


    This was the first time Hank was so patient. He leaned over slightly and ced his hand on the table.


    “Didn’t youe to find me just to resolve this matter? But if you don’t say anything, this matter won’t


    go on.” “Hank, it’s useless even if you force me.” Lyra stood up, looked at him, and said word by word,


    “You have already registered your marriage. If something happens to Alma and you just stand by and


    do nothing, can you withstand the pressure of public opinion?” “If the Barnwell group still wants to enter


    the overseas market, you must be careful. In the past half-year, the Barnwell group has been in a


    storm. If you continue to make a fuss, the stock price will drop.” Lyra saw through it very clearly. If this


    situation continued to develop, it would not benefit the Barnwell group at all. Moreover, to Hank, Terry


    was a ticking time bomb. If it were anyone else, they would have been extremely busy at this time.


    They would have gone everywhere to rope in their partners, but Hank was so calm and had the mood


    to ask her about this.


    “Lyra, that’s my business.” The corners of his lips curled into a deep smile. He raised his wrist and


    looked at the time. “I’ll send you back.”


    “No…” Before he could finish his sentence, a lot of reporters rushed out and took photos of the two of


    them. “Mr. Barnwell, you have already registered with Miss Kensley. Now you are dating your ex-wife,


    Miss Lyra. Are you having an affair?” “Have you maintained such an intimate rtionship since you


    divorced?” “Alma was investigated by the police and was sued by the Barnwell group. Does it have


    anything to do with Lyra? Did she set this up in order to take back her position?” Hank frowned and


    immediately put his tweed coat on Lyra’s head, covering her face


    and protecting her to walk out quickly. The reporters followed closely behind. When the two of them got


    into the car and left, Lyra sat in the car and took a deep breath. “Those reporters were waiting


    downstairs of the hospital before. Now they suddenly came here. Who arranged it?” Hank did not make


    a sound and just drove forward. It had to be said that his calm performance at this time made people


    feel very at ease. “If the Barnwell group did not sue Alma, those rumors would all be directed at you


    alone. The Jones family wouldpletely copse even though it has just got back. Lyra, I know


    there’s a reason for you to do this, but I hope you can think about it clearly and not do anything that you


    will regret.”


    Hank sent her to the door of the Jones family and drove away.

    The car slowly drove out of her sight. Lyra clenched her cor. He had always known that to her, the


    most important things were the Jones family and itspany.


    She took a cold breath and turned into the vi.


    There was no warmth in the empty house. Lyra dragged her tired footsteps into the bedroom. She also


    wanted to know what she should do to get out of this predicament.


    In the police station. “I didn’t do anything. It was my dad or Terry, I don’t know what they did. If you want


    to investigate, go and investigate them.” “Miss Kensley, you should…” Thewyer also wanted to


    persuade her.


    At this moment, the door was pushed open. It was awyer in a ck suit. “My name is Liu, and I was


    sent by Mr. Barnwell to defend Miss Kensley. I am fully responsible for the follow-up matters. You can


    go now.” Lawyer Liu sat down directly. The previouswyer immediately stood up and gave up his seat.


    The moment Lawyer Liu arrived, Alma’s expression changed and she looked a little proud.


    “I knew that Hank would not ignore me.” Lawyer Liu did not respond. Instead, he took out a contract.


    “Please sign it and I can take you out immediately.” “It’s that simple?” Alma was delighted. But who


    knew that the moment she picked it up, her face immediately darkened.


    It was a private contract. It required her to admit that their marriage did not have any legal effect. The


    previous registration procedures were only for the child to go abroad for treatment.


    In other words, Hank wanted to draw a clear line with her.


    Not only her, but he would also not be responsible for the child in the future.


    “Get lost, get lost. Hank will not do this to me. Who sent you?” Alma directly tore the paper into pieces.


    Lawyer Liu was covered in broken pieces of paper.


    After a simple tidying, he continued to tell Alma calmly, “Miss Kensley, sign it as soon as possible so


    that you can leave this ce. You should also know in your heart that we have all the evidence. There


    is no need to dy any longer. The more you dy, the worse it will be for you.”


    Alma’s face suddenly changed.


    Lawyer Liu took out another identical contract from his briefcase.


    “If Miss Kensley is unhappy, you can tear it up. I still have a lot here.”
