    Chapter 363 She Refused to Cooperate with the Barnwell Group


    When Manager Zhang heard this, he immediately nodded firmly. “Keith, you are right. We can’t go


    back. We must see Ms. Jones.” In that case, even if Lyra refused to cooperate with the Barnwell group,


    they had done their jobs. If they didn’t even see Lyra, then they would have to take the me.


    “Be mentally prepared,” Keith said slowly.


    They had waited for seven hours. During this period, Su Yuan had ordered two take-out orders for the


    employees. Seeing that the two of them had not left, she frowned and said, “I really haven’t seen


    anyone like you. Haven’t I made it very clear?” In addition, Lyra had clearly told her in the morning that


    she had rejected the Barnwell group’s project cooperation. Why would the Barnwell group’s people still


    “Sister Su, who are they?” an employee asked curiously. “Mind your own business. We might have to


    work overtime tonight.”


    Today was probably the busiest day for the Jones Group, but Keith insisted on waiting outside.


    Unknowingly, it was already dark. By the time the employees came out one after another, Keith was so


    tired that he was about to fall asleep. As soon as he saw Lyra, he immediately stood up. “Ms. Jones!”


    “Why are you guys still here?” Lyra was also stunned. She had heard Su Yuan say it and had let Su


    Yuan reply to them. The lift door on the other side opened, and a tall and cold figure walked out and


    headed straight for her. The key in Lyra’s hand was directly snatched away. “Ms. Jones is really busy.”


    Lyra frowned even deeper. “You…” Hank pulled her in and closed the door behind her. Manager


    Zhang’s eyes immediately lit up. “Keith, we wouldn’t be fired, right?”


    “It’s hard to say.”


    The employees had already gotten off work. Lyra was pressed down on the desk behind Hank. He


    looked straight at her with cold eyes. “I have already told yourpany that the cooperation is


    canceled.”


    “Why?” He seemed to never be able to get an answer from her.


    Lyra was stunned. “Is there a need for a reason? Not everyone in the world wants to cooperate with the


    Barnwell group. I don’t…” Before she could finish speaking, the man’s face hadpletely darkened.

    He also loosened his hand at that moment. Lyra felt that the pressure in front of her instantly


    disappeared. But he still stood in front of her.


    Lyra rolled her eyes. “I n to invest in otherpanies ‘projects. I don’t n to do it myself.” When


    Hank heard this, his brows furrowed even more. It was obvious that he didn’t quite believe it. “I can’t let


    you know the business secrets. After all, the Barnwell group is ourpetitor in the future.”


    He should have heard it correctly, and she was also very clear about what she was


    doing.


    “The Barnwell group has five investmentpanies under it. Any one of them is bigger and stronger


    than the Jones Group. It is too unwise for you to choose this


    path.”


    Lyra had already done market research, and she also understood the Barnwell group’s strengths very


    well. What Hank said was indeed the truth. In order not to attack her so much, he had automatically left


    out some objective factors, such as the reputation and image of thepany, and the investment


    experience in the industry. These would all be necessary conditions for survival. Lyra knew how difficult


    it was, so she did not want to argue with him. She wanted to invest more energy into the next job. “If


    Mr. Barnwell understands what I mean, please go back. I am really tired now.” Lyra carried her bag and


    continued to walk out.


    “It’s not toote to stop before the beginning,” Hank said as he followed behind her.


    Lyra took a few steps forward. In the empty corridor, there were only the two of them.


    His tone was not heavy, nor was he mocking Lyra for not being strong enough. However, this was what


    he meant. It made her angry.


    “Not everyone can seed in life. Can’t I try?” Lyra turned around and looked into the man’s eyes. “Or


    do you think that the Jones Group can go further only with your help?


    I don’t want the Jones Group to be a puppetpany controlled by the Barnwell group.”


    Perhaps many people dreamed of clinging to the Barnwell group, but she was obviously not that kind of


    person. She did not want to live that way forever.


    This was a kind of torture for her and Hank.


    “Do you think you can seed?” The man took a step forward. His voice was low, but there was a


    sense of oppression. ‘Only by working with the Barnwell group can yourpany go further.” Lyra’s


    heart tightened. She had to admit that what he said was right. Challenging absolute capital and


    strength was equivalent to courting death. Perhaps the situation that the Jones Group had struggled to


    break through would end here.


    Perhaps she would no longer have the chance to turn things around. But how would she know if she


    didn’t try? “Then I choose not to take revenge on you. I hope that everything in the past will end here. I


    will let you live, and I will also let myself live.”


    It was only at this moment that she finally felt relieved. Since she had decided to seal all the secrets in


    her heart and no longer be bound by the hatred between the two of them, she had to bid farewell to the


    past resolutely, and live her own life in a more wonderful way.


    Perhaps, her father had thought the same when he agreed to her marriage to Hank. She hoped that


    everything was a coincidence. The man’s eyes suddenly sank, and the joints of his fingers slowly


    tightened. How could she say such words absent-mindedly as if she wanted to erase him from her life


    forever? This feeling made Hank very ufortable. His throat was hoarse and he wanted to stop her.


    But the lift door had already closed. Lyra did not even look at him and disappeared without a trace.


    When he took another lift to chase her down, the night was dark and he could not see Lyra on the


    street.


    The coldness between the man’s eyebrows grew stronger.


    “Mr. Barnwell, Ms. Jones should have left already. Look at this. This is tonight’s news.” As a rising star


    in the design industry and the business industry, Lyra was invited to participate in an interview program,


    and the date was the day after tomorrow.


    “Let’s go.”


    Hank opened the car door, and the coldness in his eyes became stronger.


    Where was the woman who kept saying that she wanted him to die in front of her?


    He would rather she remember the hatred of the past, at least she would not throw him aside.


    Now, he could not get close to her life no matter what and was excluded from her life. This kind of


    feeling made him so depressed that he almost went crazy.


    At this time, downstairs of the Jones Group building.


    Lyra leaned out from the side door and watched Hank’s car turn at the intersection. She sighed slowly


    and she had finally said those words.
