Chapter 350


    Chapter 350 Can’t Compromise


    “As you said, that was in the past. People change. Please take a step back. I’m going to close the


    door.” Lyra was toozy to argue with him. Hank could tell what love was and what disgust was. Her


    eyes were so cold that it made him angry. He opened his mouth and remembered the idea that Jasper


    had given him. His eyes darkened and his tone softened a little. “There is an event tomorrow night.


    Come with


    me.”


    “No.”


    “Don’t you still want to cooperate with the Barnwell group? Do you not want the project?”


    He wanted to do what she wanted so that he could better understand her. Right now, all of Lyra’s


    attention was focused on the matter of the Jones family’seback, so he would let her have her way.


    Lyra did not answer. “You should also know that with me here, your path will be much easier. Someone


    will pick you up tomorrow,” he said.


    He drove away. As the car disappeared from his sight, Lyra frowned even more. He had waited here for


    so long just to say this? “What a lunatic.” Lyra went home to check and found out that Hank was indeed


    crazy. Because the event he was going to attend tomorrow night was an outstanding contribution


    award ceremony held by the Business Association. He had won the award for three consecutive years.


    Although the value of this award was not high, those who could attend were the top figures of Cloud


    Town. That circle was not something that could be entered with money. He also needed a lot of status


    and connections. Other than the business world, some people in the political world would also attend.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Even a wealthy family like Lubi family was not invited this year.


    Lyra took a deep breath.


    She had to go. Moreover, they had to use this opportunity to get to know more partners. This was very


    beneficial for the future development of the Jones family.


    The next morning.


    Hank sent someone to deliver ten luxurious and custom-made evening dresses. Looking at the colorful


    dresses, Lyra felt dazzled. She could not help but look at Su Yuan beside her. “Which one looks good?”


    Su Yuan sighed at Hank’s straight male aesthetic and slowly shook her head. “Director Jones, why


    don’t I rent one for you?” Seeing her cute appearance, Lyra could not help butugh out loud. “Director


    Jones, these are too much. The skirt of that dress is iid with diamonds. Most importantly, these


    clothes are ridiculously conservative.” Lyra supported her chin with her hand. “Mm…” “Send them all


    back. Tell Hank that I will go, but there’s no need for clothes.” “But these are all chosen by Mr. Barnwell.


    Take a look.” “If he insists on making me dress like a butterfly, then I won’t go.” Lyra rubbed her


    temples. With that said, those people immediately moved their dresses away. It was finally much


    quieter.


    Lyra took out her phone and checked the address. “This is a shop opened by a friend of mine. Help me


    get a dress. Don’t be so eye-catching.”


    She was going to expand her connections, not really going to participate in the award ceremony. Why


    would she dress like a peacock?


    “Okay, Director Jones, I will go right away.” While Su Yuan went, Lyra slept at home for another hour.


    However, when she woke up, the person she waited for was not Su Yuan, but Alma. As soon as the


    door was opened, Alma knelt straight in front of her. “Lyra, I beg you, give Hank to me.” Give?


    Lyra immediately wanted to close the door. She couldn’t give him to her, because the man didn’t belong


    to her at all.


    She had made it clear before, but Alma still wanted to make a scene, so don’t me her for being


    ruthless. “Please, listen to me first, okay?”


    Alma was crying so hard that she refused to let go. “That night, my dad knocked me out and sent me to


    that ce. He asked me to apany Mr. Lee, an old man!” “I really have no way out. If Hank doesn’t


    want me, I can only take the child to jump into the river.” Alma said in a trembling voice. So now she


    remembered she had a child? Lyra felt so sorry for the kid. From beginning to end, Alma only treated


    the child as a bargaining chip to threaten Hank and at the same time, threaten Terry.


    Lyra looked at her crying face and felt no waves in her heart.


    “Who asked you toe to me? What’s the use of looking for me?” Lyra’s voice turned cold. “You did


    everything to yourself! No one can help you!” “You can!”


    “Hank only has you in his heart. As long as you persuade him, he will definitely listen to you.” “I won’t


    help you.” Lyra pursed her lips.


    Then, the door closed and Alma was locked outside. “Lyra, help me. I really don’t want to go back to


    that ce!” Where did the beautiful and proud Alma go? It was as if she was tortured to this state.


    Lyra’s heart sank a little as she listened to her crying through the door. Alma cried for a long time, but


    there was no sound from inside. She bit her lips and walked out of the Jones family’s door in a sorry


    state. She had only taken a few steps when a car stopped in front of her. “Miss Kensley, Vice President


    asked me to pick you up.” Alma wiped away her tears and sat in the car.


    Then, she dialed Huaien’s number. “Second Uncle, I failed. Lyra refused to let me in. What should I


    do?” “The driver will send you to see them. When the timees, you only need to…” Huaienughed


    gently. Alma put down her phone, her eyes full of hatred. “Lyra, don’t me me. You chose not to help


    me.” Half an hourter, Lyra saw Hank’s driver.


    The car door opened, and Hank also sat inside. Their eyes met, and Lyra frowned. Her unwillingness


    was written all over her face. “You don’t have to show your disgust so clearly. I gave you this chance.”


    “Some people clearly know what other people are thinking, but they still take the initiative to send


    themselves to the door. Now you can’t me anyone if you’re used, can you?” Lyra chuckled, a smile


    on her face.


    “Moreover, I really should keep a distance from you. It is good for you and me.” Hank had not publicly


    ended his marriage with Alma. For Lyra to attend such an asion with him, it was inevitable that


    people would gossip about him. The man’s eyes darkened. “If you mind, I can…” “I do, but what’s the


    use? You don’t care about my feelings at all, do you?” Lyra said lightly. There was neither anger nor


    disappointment in her tone. She was just stating the truth.


    However, that kind of gaze was distant and cold, giving him the desire to protect her, but he was unable


    to get close.
