Chapter 321


    Chapter 321 A Marriage in Name Only


    After Wendy finished asking, she quietly pressed the recording button. In order to protect herself, she


    had to ensure that every step was foolproof.


    “Something that will make him feel refreshed,” a clear reply came from the phone. After saying that,


    Lyra directly hung up. Wendy pinched her phone and snorted disdainfully, “Little girl, you still want to


    y tricks on me.”


    Both of them were very clear that this seemingly peaceful cooperation was very short, but it was built


    on the basis of mutual use. Maybe it would copse at any time. On the other side of the line, Lyra sat


    on the sofa and looked at thetest news today. On the screen, Hank walked side by side with Alma.


    He went to the police station to pick up Alma and announced in public that there would be a big


    banquet in Shengshi Restaurant in three days. Lyra bit the corner of her lips, but there was no extra


    expression on her face. “Mr. Barnwell, will you hold a wedding ceremony?” “Mr. Barnwell, I heard that


    you will send the child abroad for treatment soon. Is that true?” Lyra looked up slightly and frowned.


    Was Alma so stupid? On the screen, Alma’s face appeared. She deliberately sobbed twice and said


    with grievance, “After the child was born, his physical condition was very bad. He had a rare blood


    disease and must be sent abroad for treatment immediately. I don’t want to be separated from the


    child, but…” Before she finished, she threw herself into Hank’s arms and cried. The atmosphere was


    very heavy for a time, and the reporters present all felt heartache for the child. “She is really crazy.”


    Lyra directly turned off the TV. What Alma did was equivalent to giving Terry another push. The matter


    of stealing the documents had just subsided and she was going to send the child away. It was obvious


    that this child was in her way. As the child’s biological father, how could Terry ept this?


    Thinking about the words that L had said to Terry at the press conference, Lyra felt that Alma


    was asking for death.


    But what could she do?


    She had spent a lot of time and effort to set up such a trap, and Hank had almost figured it out


    If she had not escaped in time a few times, the truth of the past would have been exposed. She rubbed


    her long hair and sighed dejectedly. “Dad, how should I help her?”


    In Barnwell family’s vi.


    After Alma said those words to the reporters, she had been uneasy. She carefully sized up Hank’s


    expression. Even when they entered the door, the man did not show any displeasure.


    “Hank, are you angry with me? The questions asked by the reporters are too difficult to answer. I didn’t


    think too much about it and told them all.”

    Hank slowly put down his coat and turned around. His reaction was particrly surprising. “It doesn’t


    matter. What you said is the truth.” Hearing his calm tone, Alma was happy. “Don’t you me me?”


    “me you for what?” Hank said softly. “me me for acting on my own and telling everyone about our


    ns. Maybe it will cause trouble for no reason.” Alma also felt a little regretful in her heart, but she


    really wanted to announce her sovereignty to the world.


    After so many years, she finally became the real Mrs. Barnwell. This joy, she hoped that everyone


    would know. She also wanted to let those who once doubted her see how sessful she was now.


    Although Hank still did not touch her… at least, she had already entered this door and would no longer


    be chased out. “Hank, I’m sorry. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future.”


    In the past, perhaps Hank would have warned her.


    But now, he gently pulled her wrist. “It’s fine. Do whatever you want to do. I still have work to do. You


    should rest early.”


    After he finished speaking, he strode up to the second floor. Alma stood in ce, the smile on her lips


    growing deeper and deeper. Although her hands were empty, she was very sure that Hank was not


    angry because of her actions today. He had already started to spoil her! Alma’s mood became


    especially good. She opened her mouth and called out to Sister


    Zhang, “Prepare supper for me. Also, open a bottle of red wine.” She went upstairs happily, ready to


    rx. Sister Zhang stood at the door of the kitchen and shook her head helplessly. The kitchen was


    open to begin with, and their voices were not soft. She happened to hear it all. Hank did not dote on


    Alma at all, but did not care. He did not even care what she said to the outside world. This kind of


    treatment was basically equivalent to ignoring her existence.


    However, Alma was actually unaware. Something big was going to happen to this family sooner or


    When Nore came to find Lyra, she was wrapped in a nket and sitting on the sofa in a daze.


    “Why is your head so hot! Come with me to the hospital,” said Nore. “I’ve taken my medicine. I’ll go to


    bed early tonight. I’ll be fine tomorrow,” said Lyra, shaking her head. “Don’t worry, my physical condition


    is very good,” she said with a smile. “Look at yourself, how haggard you look!” Nore handed the phone


    over, and the camera happened to be facing Lyra’s face. Lyra nced at it and was also shocked by


    herself. She stretched out her cold fingers and rubbed her face. “It should be because of the whitening


    effect of eating Bird’s nest soup recently…” “Stop lying to yourself.” “Let’s go to the hospital.” Nore


    reached out and scooped her up from the sofa. Lyra struggled to no avail and was pulled into the car


    by him.


    The road to the hospital was blocked under the overpass. Lyra tilted her head, feeling a little sleepy. “I


    think the medicine’s effect is working. You should sleep for a while.” Nore sighed and gripped the


    steering wheel, thinking about how to walk faster. Lyra leaned against the seat, listening to his


    incessant nagging.


    “You just don’t know how to take care of yourself and even fired Rae. What do you want? Are you really


    going to let go of everything and be set up by Alma to jail?” “She doesn’t care about this at all. She is


    busy showing off that she has married into a rich family. Hank may have gone crazy and let her fool


    around. At this time, they are probably already greeting guests at the hotel.” Lyra only felt a buzzing


    sound in her ears.


    The moment she closed her eyes, a tear slid down her cheek. “Then I have to congratte them.” After


    she fell asleep, there was a bitter smile on her face. Nore stopped the car under the traffic light. Seeing


    her torture herself like this, he only felt his heart ache.


    “You took care of Alma desperately just to make yourself feel better. Why? Uncle Jones would not want


    to see you live like this.” “Besides, you clearly know that Hank still has you in his heart.”
